OF the eleven Ptak, Mul'igan, Al

the Brooklanders last year, while
Daley played two years ago.
Coaches Dooley and Gormiey have
been drilling the Catholic Uni yersi:y

annual tilt tomorrow.
The Brooklanders are confident of
repeating their victory of last sea
son. and kept some of their stellar
performers out Of the V. T.. l. fray

possibility of a disastrous casualty
list. Although a few of the varsity
crew are nursing injuries, they will
no doubt be fit to start and ;f not.

Best of Billiard Stars
Entered in Tournament

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-Never be-
fore in the history of billiards has
there been tournam ment in which
opinion as to the ultimate winner
was more diversified than it is in
regard to the international event for
the worlds professional championship
at 49, balkline at the Hotel Astor,
beginning Monday.
Jake Schaefer. who won the world
championship from Willie Hoppe in
the tournament at Chicago. is favored
by the majority to repeat He is
young and apparently is Just reach
ing the top of his game. on the other
hand. those who favor Hopes
chances point to the fact that in the
1.500-point challenge Schaefer de-
feated Hoppe by the scant margin
of 30 points. 1900 to l.466. Thirty
two points in a match of 1900 GER
tainly is anything but a decisive
margin of victory.
Walker Cochran, too. is playing a
better balanced game this season than
he was a year ago when he finished
.hird in the tournament, and the same
applies to Roger Cont. the champion
of France. and Edouard Horemans,
the champion of Belgium. Many re-
gard Erich Hagenlacher. the cham
pion of Germany, as the dark horse.
