Oxford Skips Figure
"13" But Fordham
Finds 1t Lucky

Oxford University skipped the
numeral "13" in numbering its
rugby players in its big game

the bugaboo number has no hold
on some other colleges. A not
able example is Fordham. Here
is how Fordham has conquered

Fordham had twelve In the
squad which went to Yale for

the table. Later the team

This is another year, of course,

@The disability of Uhle and Ed

would have made US finish one, two
or three. Edwards twisted his knee
after winning five games and was
useless until September. Uhle just
didn't round into condition. he
won twenty-six games in 1928 and
exactly eight last year. There was
nothing the matter with his arm
and there never has been. He

claimed that Speaker once was a

For him Speaker furnishes a
ready alibi. For himself, none. He
staked himself to his worst per-
formances since entering the majors
in 1907, in spite Of the fact that he
hit .344. He, however, drove in only
sixty five runs as against $50 Tor
1928 and only two other American
League outfielders. Ruth and Cos
lin, made more errors.
He was a semi-flop but he thinks
he knows the remedy. SO were some
of his manly athletes and he has

he appeared in rubber boots. There
had been drizzle all afternoon
