 BALTIMORE ELEVEN

New York, Sept s0-The Man. haitian squad was given its first variation in three weeks from straight offensive drills in yester- days practice on Jasper field. Kicking, a defense against passes and defensive line play We're em- phasized by John Law as the Jas per coach opened the final week of drilling before the first game with Baltimore U. Saturday.
 The tackles came in for special attention and Lou Lepis and Bill Higgins, veterans, who appear to be asured of the regular berths, were prominent in this drill.
 The Jasper backs were drilled on passing and guarding against passes. The regular backheld of Del Negro, Thomas, Ashkar" and Battle worked against three other sets of varsity backs and ends, and, although Pat Ryan. Joe Sis ko and Bill Pendergast passed well. the receivers were closely covered. ...
 The bunting of Al Donahue, sophomore fullback, was pleas ant surprise to Law. Donahue had never before revealed any partic- ular talent as a kicker, but yes terday his boots were longer, high CT and better placed than those of Nal Thomas, Joe sisko and Bill Higgins.
 Sisllo, triple threat back, and Ed Kearney, veteran tackle, reported for practice after two weeks of idleness from a wrenched knee and an infected toe, respectively. An infected elbow will keep Jack Hiemenz, outstanding sophomore center, outof the game for several dayS

JOE SHUCRUE HAS HIGH PRAISE FOR
 JERSEY RINCMAN

New York, Sept 30-Almost a generation ago, Joe Shugrue was the reigning sensation of the light weight boxing. His thrilling battles in the old garden against the best men of the day and his knockout of Benny Leonard are still remem- bered by many fans. But for failing eyesight he might today be among the immortals of the ring. He was one of the best, if not the best, that New Jersey even sent to the ring wars.
 Still Looks 'em Over
 Today Joe Shugrue is engaged in an inspectors job in his home city, but he still is fight en- thusiast. He watches many fights through those dimmed eyes, but they are sharp enough to detect form in the present day fighters. He's quite a critic. When he learn ed of the advance of Joey Costa, his townsman along the lightweight trail, Joe took time off to go and see the boy in action. He was present in Madison Square garden when Joey won his fight against Lew Foldman, whom he meets in a return bout in the gorden Friday night.
 "Just a little more polish," was Joe's comment of Costa, and he will be good enough to make them forget about me. Joey looks like a good puncher. I like his straight stand-up style of fighting. his ac- curate left jabbing and his right crosses. He needs little more tim ing on his blows and then an sure that he will be rated with the best in the lightweight division. He's a natural fighter to my way Of thinking and he has been brought along admirably. In another year I look for him to be the contender for the championship of his class.
 Quite a Boy!
 That's high praise from such a versed fighter and critic as Joe Shugrue. Costa has proved hlmse1 an excellent fighter in that through out his career of 54 fights he has not tasted defeat. He has had II draws called on him, and some of those with whom he broke even were later put on his list of win ners.
 It's Joey's 55th fight this one with Foldman on Friday, which Is serving as the opening ten-rounder 10 the main event of 12 rounds between Dave Shade and Dan Jeby, the east side middleweight. The last time Lew and Joey met it was an eight-round affair. It was close although Costa got the decision. hut the extrat two rounds this time should serve to leave no doubt as to the relative abilities of the two
 Costa will have the advantage of a few pounds on Goldman. for the latter is a true featherweight and if he wins may get that promised match with Bat Battalino. while sf Joev toses he will miss the prom iecd shot against Kid Chocolate. Tf's the bout on the card which means most and promises real

CROSBY SHAPES UP WELL AS COACH
 SHIFTS LINEUP
Schofield Using Red Mor- an at Quarter and Ned Herr at End = Kern Forms Backfield Nue. leuS

Facing the difficult task of iron- ing out a varsity eleven before their opening game against New Haven Hillhouse in the Elm City on the evening of Friday, October I9, Coach Billy Schofield sent a large group of Crosby grid candi- dates through their second work out yesterday afternoon at Hamil- ton park.
 Moran at Quarterback
 Schofield's first move yesterday to strengthen his backfield was the placing of Red" Moran, 145 var sity end of the state 1880 cham pionship eleven, at quarterback. The move looks good to the writer as the sorrel-topped youngster knows his football and his place at end will be well taken care of by Ned Herr who didn't shine last year because he played throughout with a broken arm.
 Two Fine Ends.
 The Crosby mentor has nothing to worry about with wingmen, for co-captain George Mulligan and Ned Herr are the goods. Null tips the Fairbanks now at 176 pounds and is in fine mettle. Joe Specs" Dunn is back from last years team at tackle while the other tackle berth is still open with Homick and Lovesky looking good from here. At right guard is co-captain Mike Martone while left is open to Carserino, Sullivan and Cronin. Mike DiNapoli. a brother of Eddie was used at center yesterday.
 Kern Tops Backfield
 Ike Kern is back with the blue gridders and will form the nucleus of the backfield. "Ruggles" Yur- gaitis, husky Brooklyn lad, shapes up as a plugger and brainy boy and should go a long ways with Moran and Kern. Yesterday Herb Dews and Ned Farley alternated at left halfback. Nick Tamburella, Rompre, Peterson, Buckley and Wilson are also seeking places in the rear works

Cats are pretty elemental
creatures, taking part from
every angle in the social
scheme of life. Babies reach
out for us; children learn to
say CAT practically before
they can say mama and papa,
and we comfort the aged.
I wonder why people look
upon cats as Singularly imbued
with malice? We aren't that
way at all. really we. aren't.
We are particular, diffident,
and-weu, must confess, we
are a little snobbiSh. But we
have a right to be, for we have
the best manners in the ami
NAL kingdom. We wash our
paws after eating, and I know
some people who don't do that!
And then, do not forget, "a
cat can look at king!" Isn't
that enough to make one
rather-well-rather uppity?
We are a sociable lot, and
only driven to meanness
through unkindly acts. Every
one has been so nice to me,
ana taken me as like to see
people take tabbies. just for
that, I'm going to tell you
how much I like you. and
wish that all your mice are
fat!

One of the charming blonde
