Motley and Brauer
In C.. C.. N. Y. Line-Up
For Aggies' Game

The c. C. N. Y. varsity football team
concluded practice for the New York
Aggies game to-day by going through
light signal drill yesterday. Truck"
Motley, who was laid up ell week with
bad foot, got into uniform and called
signals. The chances are that he will
start against the Aggies,
Another regular, who participated in
the practice yesterday after being on
the injury list was Morty Brauer, left
end. Coach Neville will very likely
use him at his old berth to-day. In
that event it will be toss-up between
Mike Garvey and Harry Rosenwasser
for the other wing job, with the
chances favoring the latter.
The meeting with the New York Ag-
gies should be of much interest to To-
cal football followers, in view of the
fact that the Lavender institution
meets ~ Y. U. next week in one of
the most important tussles Of the met
ropoltan district. e. Y. U. defeated
the Aggies earlier in the season by a
$40 count, and the result of c. c.
N. Y.'s encounter with the visitors
should serve to throw much light on
the relative strength of New York's two
traditional rivals.

The lineup of the teams that will
start tomorrow follows:
Women's Title Golf at
Westchesfer- -BiItmore

It has been definitely decided that
the women's national golf champion
ship Cor 1928 will be played at the
Westchester- Biltmo2e Country Club, at
Rye, N. Y. Thomas d. Armour, sscre-
tary OF the club, received q letter yes
terday from Mrs. David Gaut, Of Mem
phis, that the committee Of which she
is chairman had finally decided on
this course. The women's Eastern
championship was held there last june,
and at that time the women golfers
OF the East were so much impressed
with the conditions that they expressed
the desire to hold the national title
tournament there some time in the
near future.
When the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Club
received the news that it had been de-
cided to hold the championship there
plans for improvement on the south
course, where the tournament will be
played, got under way. The date for
the tournament has not yet been set
tied upon, but 1t Is presumed that it
will be held during the last week in
September. s.

pleted and the last one was intercept
ed. Being right close to the State goal
the Navy tried slanting drives at the
State line. Neither those nor straight
plunges netted anything, State taking
the leather on downs on it's own 12-yard
line.
They lined up, the State backs made
their hop shift, and Wilson circled
wide and was headed for the clear on
what looked as if it might be a good
gain. Some wideawake Navy man,
however, forced him still wider and
hit him as he tried to swing down the
field. He Dropped the ball and Cullen
picked it up. Cullen had eight yards
to go for touchdown and made them.
He raced over at one corner and
Barchet added the extra point.
After the kickoff, Palm and Frank
teamed up on forward pass, which
took the ball to the Navy's 40-yard line
put lot of steam into the next few
plays, but couldn't keep it up. The
midshipmen retorted with extra steam
of their own. The play was fiery for
a while, but neither side was suffi-
GENTLY over its hard battle Of last
Saturday to go at that clip long.
Palm threw the ball too far on
long forward pass and it hit the ground.
Wilson made savage, twisting run of
eighteen yards, fighting like fury, A
forward pass worked the ball into Navy
territory and the onslaught ended at
the 42yard mark. Palm booted up
close to the Navy goal, and Cullen, from
behind his goal, shot punt back.
This was the sixty-three yard beauty
which followed the side line all the
way. There have been few better punts
on this or any other day
The Navy in the fourth period made
a first down, by rushing, the first time
Uncle Sans men did that. State fol-
lowed with sustained advance of
forty-eight yards, mostly on aerial
football. Before the advance went deep
into their side of the field the sailors
stopped it.

The first game WAS played In 1889,
when the up-staters scored an easy
victory by 2o-to-o count. +
u is worth noting that the local
eleven had failed to score since the
first nix-up in 1889. However, in 1908

Football was then abolished at Co

was not on the schedule, for faculty
