COLGATE MENTOR
 FACES BIG TASK
Has Only Four of Last Years
 Eleven Back in School

Hamilton, N. Y, Sept. 20 R}-- Short on reserve material and with only four of last years first eleven back, Coach Andy Kerr of Colgate's football team has a job on his hands in attempting to duplicate or i'm prove upon the 1929 record of eight victories and one defeat.
 AS a nucleus for his varsity, Coach Kerr has Captain Les Hart, triple threat halfback; Leonard Macaluso, plunging fullback; Johnny Orsi, end, and Tom Coyle. guard.
 All of the other berths must be filled and a capable corps of reserves developed out of players whose pre- vious experience has been received as varsity substitutes or as members of last years disappointing freshman outfit.
 The smallest Colgate squad in years, numbering only 40 men, turn ed out when the canny little Scot summoned his candidates for an carly start on Sept. 2. Since then Kerr and his assistants, Lloyd Jor- dan of Pittsburgh and Fred Swan of Stanford. have made long strides in whipping the squad into shape but regardless of how well the first team eventually shapes up it will lack the reserve power that came in so handy in kerr's first campaign here. Play CTS now in their junior year, who saw enough action last season as sophomores to win their letter, pro- vide Kerr's principal source of sup ply for the vacant varsity berths.
 Among the juniors who seem slated for regular assignments are Arthur Schiebel and Howard Crane. pair of big tackles who will be used to replace the powerful con- bination of EIaines and Huntington. Orsl, another junior, is certain Of a job at end while Reynolds, Conroy and Litster are among Kerr's lead ing baCllfeld candidates,
 Probably the biggest problem of all is found at center as both Cap tain Cox and Rice, his understudy, have wound up their college careers.
 Two intersectional games are on the schedule, Mississippi college and Michigan State having been booked in addition 10 seven eastern oppo- nents. The schedule:
 Sept. IT, St. Lawrence; Oct. 4, Bethany; II, Lafayette; IS, Michi- gan State at, East Lansing; 25, Penn State at State College; Nov. l, Mis- sissippi college; 8, Columbia at New York; IS, Syracuse at Syracuse; 27, Brown at Providence.

 The individual pitching situation was dominated as usual, by Robert Moses Grove. ace of the Athletics.

VETERAN COMBINATION
 TO MEET YOUTHFUL TEAM
Seasoned Campaigners Expect That Experience in Baseball Years Will Serve to Help Them Win - Pick of Players to Be Selected for Two Clubs Game May Be First One in a Series of Three-Con- test Will Be Staged at Willow Brook Park.

Two baseball teams, one Compos- ed of a coterie of veterans who are seasoned campaigners on the base- ball field and the other made up of a crew of youngsters who have been starring in local league and semi- pro circles, will clash Sunday after- noon in the first game of a series to be staged for the next three Sundays at Willow Brook park.
 Because of the fact that there are few good week-ends left yet be- fore the baseball season peters out, Johnny Cabay, Bill Lasky, and oth- CTS in the northwest section of the city have interested themselves in keeping the national pastime going until the weather forces them to turn to football.
 The selection of players to make up the two combinations gives one the idea that there is gong to be g. lot of baseball served up at the park when the two teams clash. The old timers, as is their wont, are eager to show the youngsters how to play the game. They rely on their experience under fire to turn back the best efforts of the opposition.
 On the other hand, youth will not be denied and it will tickle the younger team if they can pin de- 1 feat on the older team; it will be 8 1 feat that they will never forget.
 The pick of the players in the northwest section of the city has been named to play in the game. Among the players who are expected to turn out are the three Budnicks, Si, Starhead and Stub Luty. Mickey Bucheri, Kopec, Kania, Jasper. Kre- dar, Havlick, "Ty Cobb" Gaida, Jack Lipetz. Jaglowski. Ferguson, Partyka and J. Budnick. Dobrow- olski. Lipka, Dalkowski, Wendroski. Zapatka, Fredericks, Kulas. Sillick. Martin and Grey.
 The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock.
 To Play WalIingford Kensngton will play the Lenox A. C. team of Wallingford in Ken- sington tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Kensington defeated the Lenox team last Sunday by the score or 1 to 0. It was a pitchers battle and another is expected tomorrow.

Tom Mills, Assistant to Rockne,
 Introduces System

Washington, Sept. 20 PNNotre Dame has moved into Old Hilltop to sec what it can do with the rem nants of the material and system bequeathed by Lou Little before he left Georgetown University to coach Columbia football.
 Tom Mills, for four years assist ant coach to Knute Rockne, has taken charge of the Hoyas and will be assisted by Tim Moynihan, Notre Dame center last year, Jack Cole rick, end on the same team, and Tom Murphy.
 It's tough enough for seasoned coach, who has been working with his material for several years, to lose his whole line by graduation. and that is what faced Mills on his first day at the Georgetown camp. When the losses include such tackle as Big Jim Mooney, it be- comes worse.
 Development of a new line from green material will be Mills chief bother for the. star backfield of 1929 returns intact.
 Little Mike Scalzi is seeking his old quarterback post. Hudak and Ed Leary, veteran halfbacks are available with Leroy Bordeau, an other veteran. the leading fullback candidate. Mills has another stir back of 1929 in Johnny Bozek.
 Phil Mooney, a brother of Jim, is pressing Hudak, Leary and Man cell Gillis another veteran, for a halfback position.
 Despite the scarcity of seasoned line material, Mills was presented with a center, Bill Morris, this years captain, who saw considerab ble service last season.
 Richard Danner, up from the freshman outfit, and Charley Brick man, member of the 1929 squad, have shown the most promise among the guards although Turel Trimbley and Joe Bandzul also have shown well. Bill Slezak and Ed Katalina have led the way for the tackle positions with Walter Voigt. Larry Sullivan, Dave Muir and George Dyer in reserve.
 Bob Brennan who saw some serv- ice last year and Jim Deavey, a newcomer, have developed into a capable pair of ends, and Ray Hud- son, and Jack Parlett are the chief reserve hopes.

By the Associated Press.
 The second division clubs Of the National league, three of which have no hopes of improving their present positions, have some fine opportuni- ties ahead for upsetting the apple carts of the three contenders for the championship
 The Phillies, doomed for the eel lar, already have caused the Chica- go Cubs lots of trouble and yester- day gave the leading St. Louis Card inals a great run before going down to defeat to 3. They meet the Cards four more times in the next few days then have one crack at Brook lyn.
 Pittsburghs Pirates, who only lost their mathematical chance of finish ing first as the Cards won yesterday start today in a two game series with the Robins and finish their season with four games in St. Louis. The Cubs, who gained a tie with Brook lyn for second place yesterday as they took a 5-4 decision from Bos- ton, find themselves involved with the Braves and Cincinnati for the rest of the season. A sudden spurt on the part of any one of these four trailers could cause serious damage to the hopes of it's rivals.
 But that spurt failed to ma terialize yesterday and this is how the three leaders stood today:
 Clubs W. l.. Pet. G. B. St. Louis .... SC 60 .5S9 -. Brooklyn ... S4 63 .571 21a Chicago .... S4 63 .571 2A5
 Games to play-St Louis s, Brook lyn [. Chicago [.
 A fine run rally in the seventh in- ming won out for the Cardinals yes- terday and enable them to gain a half game on the idle Robins, but it did not appear until Chuck Klein had given them a scare by hitting his 37th and 3Sth home runs of the year to send the Phillies off ahead. Fidgety Phil Collins held the Cards under control untiA the seventh when two doubles. two singles and two hit batsmen brought them five runs and ocllieu tH6 game.
 The Cubs had an even closer call before they gained a tie with Brook lyn. Off to a four run lead against Tom Zachary in the first two innings, they allowed the Braves to tie the score. A double by Gabby Hartnett and George Kellys single produced the winning run.
 
 The New York Giants had an easy triumph over Cincinnati winning z to behind Bill Walkers two hit pitching, but they failed to gain on the Cardinals and have a mathemati- cally possible but otherwise hopeless task to gain 5 12 games in the seven they have left.
 The newly crowned American league champions, the Philadelphia Athletics, spent an idle day before the.- open in St. Louis watching a slugging match between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox. The Tanks won by an IS to score, making 21 hits, including Lou Gehrig's 40th homer of the season.
 Washington's Senators clinched second place in the league standing as they defeated the Detroit Tigers, 8 to 4.

games, but never in actual league competition.
 Schreck had the eccentric habit of doing as much of his backstoping as possible with his gloved hand only. This worried Mack, who considered it careless workmanship until Schreck finally convinced his mana ger he could do better job one handed than with two.
 Once when Waddell, in an exhibi- ton stunt, called in the intield as we'll as outtield and struck out the side, Schreck added to the novelty by catching every pitch one-handed from a sitting position. One day, at St. Louis in 1908, Schreck smashed a thumb as the climax to accidents putting all of Mack's backstoppers on the casualty list.
 If yiu are worrying about who's going to catch, quit it, Schreck told Mack. I'm going to do it. Put the Rube in, that's all I ask"
 Schreck caught every pitch with his gloved hand and threw out every St. Louis runner who tried to steal despite the bandaged thumb. And the Athletics won.
