All agnes will be played away

games listed above will be the appe-
tier for the first year football after
a long layoff as the coach does not
want TO run the risk of having his
men crippled.
North Plainfield is also beginning
football after a nine year rest.

Another Contender

The Eagle baseball team. a color

has been booked to cross bats with
the Aquehonga nine of Tottenville
on the latter's field this Sunday at

Of the season for these two teams

The Pleasant Plains outfit has
had a fairly successful season on the

If the Tottenville~ representatives
will be given an opportunity to
score their initial victory of the sea-

Roach will probably draw the
mound assignment for the visiting
delegation and Hammond will be
stationed behind the plate. For the
home club Dunn is to do the pitch
ing. The remainder of the Aque-
honga lineup is expected to be the
same as it was last Sunday after
noon when the Charleston nine was
beaten.
There have been rumors regard

Is little possibility of another con-
test between these two teams being

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. g.
An extraordinary number of giant
heavyweights is included this year
in the Rutgers College football squad
according to the statistics and rec
ords of all players just made public
by Graduate Manager William P.
Garrison. 1t is little wonder that
Head Coach Foster Sanford has
stamped this years aggregation the
best in his recollection of coaching
at Rutgers.
Captain Bruno Raub, formerly
tackle, but this year playing in the
backfield, is probably the biggest
football captain in the East, and.
strangely, fast enough also-to have
made both the basketball and la
cross teams. Captain Raub stands
s feet 2 inches and weighs 243
pounds. Raub is a product OF the
Phillipsburg, N. J., high school and
is playing his fourth year with Rut-
gers.
Other giants under Sanford's eyes
this veal are George Smith, veteran
tackle, weighing 204 pounds and
standing an even six feet upwards,
and Danny Feller, guard. also a six
footer and weighing 215 pounds. The
averages of the sophomore, junior
and senior members of the squad
show a weight of 166 pounds even
though such midgets as G.. D. Smith.

tabulations. The average 6 is 20
years and the height 5 feet 8 inches.
Grouping the freshmen candidates
together the averages are similar
except for age. The average weight
of the yearlings is 165, the height
also s feet Q inches and the age
1873 years. The Oldest man on the
squad Is H. w. Keller, star fu1lback,
who is "a and the youngest are sew
eral freshmen who W up to IL
years.
In this years Rutgers statistical
list not only is the prep school given
but information is furnished where
each man played last year. This
| information is to confound any pos
sible charges of "proselyting" OF
! tramp athletes which may arise
| during the season. Every player of

| Rutgers last year and every fresh

Weak points of the Beauvais Post
football team of Tottenville were
brought out at a practice session
held last Sunday. This Sunday the
team will open against the Indians
at Siasco field and the following
Sunday the Aqueducts will open
the season on the Tottenville field.
The practice on Sunday was un-
der the direction of Coaches Will
burn and Cole. The real purpose of
this drill was to weel out the unfit
ana this was a difficult task mas
much as many of last years subs
on the first inspection appeared to
be on a par with some of the regu-
lars. An hour of scrimmage against
the second team brought out their
lack of experience and they were
again relagated to the ranks of the
subs for seasoning.
The playing of Fleming on the
line this year will be a revelation
to football followers and followers
of the team predict that he will
clinch a tackle on the All Staten
Island first team. He played two
games with Beauvais Post last year
and will be available for all games
this season.

SO Is New Brunswick inter-

The coming of the Amboys is OF
greater importance than was the Wis

Landings in this contest while Stin-
son and Regain may perform in the
infield for the county seat represen-
tatives. In addition to these men,
other players who have performed
with various teams which have visit

1t is first in that it can be used for

game of the worlds series from the
Yanks 3-2. Higgins, mite Of a
man, who leads the Americans
hopes to salvage some of the split

Bob Shawkey for the twirling office
today.
Men called experts declared that
the Americans with Bush one of the
most highly rated pitchers Of the
g would be unbeatable.
SportsnIen accepted that dope and
bet on it. Bush was poked from the
pitching mound by McGraw's pun
meIlers and now the dope bowl is
upside down.
McGraw has chosen Jess Barnes
the rangy oklahoman, who brought
the Giants out of the depths Of de-
feat in the championship last fan,
to work against Shawkey.
Should Shawkey falter, Carl
Mays of the undetermined delivery,
probably will be called upon to re-
Iieve him while Deacon John"
Scott was told to keep warmed up
ready for action in case Barnes
needed relief.
The Yankees, even with Shawzey
