PAIR OF BASEBALL
GAMES SCHEDULED
Bronx Universities to Play
Home and Home Games
in Spring.
MAY LOCK IN BASKETBALL
Chances of Meeting Regarded
Good, Although Schedules
Are About Filled.

With the meeting between the Ford
ham and New York University foot
ball teams at Ohio Field on election
day the two local schools will not only
be resuming gridiron relations that
were severed as long ago as 1904. but
they will be sounding the first note
in q program that is to make the
Maroon and the Violet all year round
rivals in all branches of intercollegiate
athletic competition. This announce
ment was made last night at the Jesuit
university.
Dates for home and home baseball
games in the spring have already been
agreed upon, and it is expected that
in very few days announcement will
be made of arrangements for meet
ing between the two schools on the
basketball court during the coming
winter. Fordham is anxious to see the
game clinched and claims assurance
from AL Nixon. graduate manager at
n. Y. u, that he will do everything he
can to bring about the meeting. un-
fortunately both basketball schedules
are about made up. so it is barely pos
sible that there may be no Fordham-
~ L. u.
event Fordham is sure that game
will be arranged for the 192S-t924 cam
paign.
Among the Maroon followers credit
for the restoration sof peace between the
two Bronx institutions is being given
to Frank Gargan, athletic director RI
Fordham. He was captain and star OF
the eleven coached by his brother. How
ard, which. If not actually the best was
one of the most successful ever turned
out at the Catholic school. After gradu-
alton he was connected with the coaching
staff at his alma mater and last year
was placed in full charge of the squad at
n. Y. u, where he Immediately pro-
ceeded to win so many friends that re-
turning to Fordham as athletic director
this fall he had n strong influence in
bringing the old rivals together again.
The first of the baseball games in
the spring will be played at Ohio Field
April IA, the second being set for Ford
ham Field, May u. However. In the
meantime comes the football game
week from tomorrow. and both Frank
Gargan and Tom Thorp, head coaches
at Fordham and N. Y. U. respectively
have promised their squads a busy
week of preparation.
While the game itself is bound to stir
the enthusiasm of the neighboring Bronx
families. there hasn't as yet been heap
OF speculation on the outcome. The
answer lies in the fact that Thorp and
Gargan head the respective squads.
Tho surprise that the Washington
Heights outfit sprung at South Field a
week ago Saturday was not only the
surprise OF the metropolitan season. but
II stamped the Violet as an opponent
not to be trifled with by any squad
when aroused to fighting pitch. That
n. Y. U. will fight its hardest a week
from tomorrow goes without saying.
for the championship Of The Bronx
means a lot more than supremacy over
a few city blocks.
AS for Gargan. his team has proved
itself too. particularly in the game with
Georgetown. At the close of that tussle
the visitors left the field regarded as a
highly overrated team. The real truth
OF 1t though was that Georgetown was
not so much overrated as Fordham was
underrated. Fordham's weakness against
Georgetown lay mostly in its tactics and
the blunders counted heavily.
