Drill Behind Closed Gates

In line with Du Noes policy of Sc

games with Nillanova and Lafayette
the Fordham football squad sought
refuge yesterday afternoon on the
Fordham prep gridiron. To this Sc
cluded field admission was denied to all
but the players and newspaper repre-
sentatives.
The feature of the long session was
al hour Of scrimmaging between teams
beaded by Commit and Shankey
Neither team showed any decided ad-
vantage. There was no scoring.

afternoon in punting and drop kick

Navy game at Annapolis, as he shows
continued improvement
Practice to-day started with the
backs shooting passes to the ends,
Keck and Baker practicing a few
kick-ogs.
After a few sprints and a short but
snapry signal drill the varsity lined
up for scrimmage as follows: Ends,
Stlnson and Gray; tackles. Keck and
Hooper; guards, Baker and Morgan:
center. Griffin; quarterback, Euwer;
haltbacks, Newby and Gilroy; full
back, Thompson.
On the first play Euwer lost ground
but Newly did we'll on end runs and
Thompson followed up with a fair
gain Finally Newby, after steady
march toward the Omelette's goal line,
made short-cnd run for touch
down and Keck kicked goal. Substitu
tions were then made rapidly and II
was long fight before the VARSITY
could score, Smith at last carrying the
ball over for the first team.

Yanks looked to be within one game Of
the purple toga that drapes the should
crs Of the conquerng great. For, with
out wasting any precious time, the
American League entry lit upon the
back of Ioney's broad neck and ham
mered the top Of his dome away. They
scored three runs and drove him from
the plain before he knew that the bell
had rung.
With Toney in full fight McGraw
again rushed Jess Barnes to the open
gap and, after facing sock over the
heart from Fewstcr's home run in the
second. the Circeiville Cyclone settled
down to the main business of grinding
the Yankees into a powdered pulp.
Barnes Strikes Out Ten
Through tho last seven innings the
kansan led them to the edge Of the
precipce by the ear and pushed them
over one by one. He not only held
them to a brace Of singles in these
seven closing reels but famed ten of

to leave the count at even figures, while

In the big city Ruth alone sits and
watches the sky, looking in vain for
threatening clouds and the faint echo
Of thunder that Will proclaim few

swollen elbow a chance to recede,
thereby permitting him to stalk once
more upon the field and receive the
roaring, turbulent welcome of his

drama will then fall for the last time
upon the young shoulders of Waite

No expert prophecy is needed here to
suggest that nine-game series is al
most surely in sight, for we can see no
sign that points to a straight run by
either club through the narrow gate
ahead.

Columbia Has Easy
Practise for n. Y.U.
Game on Saturday
Captain Scovil Practices at
Center Position and Nav
Replace Fargo as Regular

The Columbia football squad had an
easy work out on South Field yesterday
afternoon. Just why the work was of
such LIGHT nature is not easily under
stood. The New York University game
rext Saturday is not going to be won
easily, if at all, and the victory over
Wesleyan was not so impressive as
might appear on paper.
True the Connecticut eleven had
beaten Stevens, a team that had not
met defeat in two years, but the record
OF the Engineers is not good this year
for in the two games played they have
not scored single point.
The work on South Field yesterday
was confined mostly to fundamentals Is,
with listless scrmmage against the
second eleven ending the session
Field Coach Brooks gave the linemen
a long Work-ou on the charging ma
chimes. In this department a big i'm
provement is noticeable The men hit
the machines with snap and follow
through. And in the scrimmage follow
ing this work the varsity linemen
toppled over the seconds with a punch.
Head Coach O'Neill worked with the
backs for over an hour. Quick start

kicking thrown in was the backfield as

Princeton, With Lourie
and Carrity Out, Faces
Hard Game Saturday

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 11.-Coach
Bill Roper is determined that this
weeks practice will be the hardest
that the Princeton varsity football
team has undergone this fall. In Il
statement given out here to-day the
Tiger mentor said: "In my opinion, the
Navy has the best team in the East,
val Academy game on Saturday still
remains doubtful. The mddies nave
veteran line and good backheld
with lots of gaining power on straight
plays. That combination is hard to
beat"
with the almost certain prospect of
the absence of Don Lourie and Hank
Garrity from the lineup Saturday, and
the statement from Coach Roper, known
to be all too true, whatever taint of
overcontidencc existed in the Prince
ton football camp at the beginning of
the season has entirely disappeared
The team, coaching staff and student
body alike know that Old Nassau will
have fierce task to perform when she
meets the Navy on the gridiron at An
napolis
Don Lourie and Hank Clarity obvi-
ousiy cannot be replaced by men of
equal stellar achievement. and it is
we'll known that the two games this
season have been won largely by indi-
Vdual play.
Nat Poe pushed his Omclettcs hard
against the varsity this afternoon. and
they succeeded in holding the first team
to two. touchdowns. which were made
by Newly and Ken Smith Repeatedly
they opened up holes in the varsity
line and held the regulars to downs.

team during the latter part of the prac-
/ tee, however, which somewhat acroupt
