Fordham Five Showing
Decided Improvement
Better Team Play Increases
Chances of Success.

Prospects for a successful basketball
season are favorable at Fordham this
year. This can be said despite the fact
that the Maroon quintet already has suf-
fered the loss of one out Of It's two
games played. II Is not solely the
Maroon's well earned victory over Cathe-
drai College during the past week but
the all around superior game that the
Bronxites played that has restored the
confidence os tho Maroon undergraduates
IN their court representatives.
In the opening game OF the season
with City College Fordham lost by a
score OF % to "a. The Bronxites played
q good game. but lack of practice and
n tendency 10 commit too many fouls be-
san to tell en- their chances for victory.
and the Fordhamitcs. who had remained
on even terms with the City College lads
during the FIRST half. were soon passed
in the second half and never really
threatened IN this period.
Against Cathedral and in all their prac-
.ice sessions during the past week the
.Iaroon lads have played steady and
smooth game. Everything seemed 10
work well, probably because the signals
ad been drilled into the men at every
daily practice. They also played much
cleaner game. and from the present out
'ook will not again lose chance for
victory because OF rough tactics. Dunn

President Ogilby Of Trinity De-
plores Tendency of Stars
to Become Coaches.
CAPITALIzING INTEREST
Will Bring Question Before
National Collegiate A. A.
Meeting This Week.

Boston, Dec. 24.--The tendency Of
at big salaries after graduation was de-
cried to-day by President nemson b.
Ogiiby Of Trinity College 1t is more
serious in It's effect on amateur sports,
he said. than for colleges to strengthen
their teams by financial inducements.
As the representative for New Eng
land Of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association he will report at the annual
meeting in New York next week. Presi-
dent Ogiiby, pointing out that intercol-
legiate competitions inspire to intense
play in contrast with the Lack OF fire
that marks contests between profess
sional teams, added: "It Is small won
der that it Is the college stadium that is
always filled to capacity for big game.
THE difficulty comes" he continued,
when this intense interest In college
athletics Is exploited by individuals and
organizations for its money value. To
my mind, the chief problem In college
athletics to-day Is not the endeavor on
the part OF individual colleges to offer
financial or other inducements to
strengthen their teams. Colleges with
ideals do not do this and, so far, no
means have been successful in prevent
ing colleges with low ideals from accom-
plishing it.
1.-The greater problem IL when pressure
is brought to bear upon an athlete who
has made q reputation as a college anna
teur to use his prowess later for finan-
ciaI gain. 1t is not good situation
when a gridiron hero gets salary rum
ming into four of five figures as a coach
for three or four years after graduation,
1t is not IA good situation when a man
goes into college athletics largely to
build UP q reputation which he may
use later on professional teams. The
fact that college athletes very shortly
after completing their college season en-
ter the field of professional .port brings
up serious problems.
I'VE may say that the Influence OF
such college men as have gone into pro-
fessional baseball has been for the best
interests Of that sport, but that may not
apply to football"

Time.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New HAVEN, Dec. 24.--Yale's new
running track, on the site Of the old
Yale football field, is nearly completed
and when finished for early spring work
should be one OF the best In the coun,

have had occasion to inspect it, say
that there are few better ones to be
found anywhere.
On either side Of the track Is a 220
yard straightaway. something that Yals
has needed for years. The straightaways
are twenty-six yards wide. giving the
runners plenty OF opportunity to run
their races. At the north end is n 440
yard oval. All races up to and including
the two mile can start on tine straight.

case on the present Yale track.
There will be room on the straight

used in making the track fast one.

carefully made mixture, the secret OF
which Is not disclosed.
Much OF the credit for the building

when they Gagged two successive baskets.
Then Brown played real basketball and
led at the end OF the first half by 16
TO 13,
The local five made several changes at
the start of the final half in an effort to
check their onrushing opponents. Brown,
however. played just as well in the Anal
period and maintained it's lead.
The team work Of Brown proved a
big factor in its victory. Each member
OF the visiting team appeared to be In
the right position at the right time. and
not once did trick pass or combination
play fail to be properly executed.
Wagenknect and Mitchell played well
for Brown, as did Williams. Mitchell
bagged five goals. while Wagenknect
Gagged one field goal and ten from the
foul line.
Rather was the mainstay of the Brook
lyn team, accounting for more than half
his teams points, Linoki, Crivilenti and
