Washington, who ew more football in a minute than p Bronx collegians had gathered in p entire season. That the Maroon s able to score one touch down re- ted only from the fact that in the jt quarter, when the count was de, the Washington substitutes e rushed on the fleld so fast that p could not keep track of them, and hinst this weakening of the visiting ven, Fordham was able to gain its P consolation touch down. It came the result of spectacular football, open game throughout Fordham king repeated forward passes. 'he team which Bxindine, the In- n coach 'of Georgetown, brought e was'a finished football eleven, elling in every way the Fordham which opposed it. There was in the play that reminded one the Indians. The Washingtonians ainly were as.crafty as the red- ns and as resourceful in their at- k. Many of the formations which irked so successfully were trick ys and the strategy was that of Indian mind. Georgetown never the expected, it was always the pected that prevailed, and Ford- from the first moment of play s attempting to fathom an attack pt was to Fordham a perfect puz- /.

The. result was at whatever of defense Fordham d was destroyed and Georgetown at jnes gained at will. But Georgetown did not, rely alone the ‘unnsual’férmations; the attack hs versatile, and in line plunging, Fordham was, forced to give way. “fhe first half Fordham’s defensawas ffictured for long gains, the Wash- ptom: mer rushing the ball 197 yards | against not more than thirty-six ds made by Fordham. in the“second quarter Georgetown owed ‘sorhé ¥xcellent forward pass- jg-and it was riet dependent on two three:mens - This seemed to bother prdbam.

Gilroy to Leighty was a favorite pass, and another that worked with success was from Wall to Gilro. . The Washington team : first few minutes of play. away for a long run of twenty-five vards that put the ball close to the Fordham goal. One piinge at the line by Gilroy failed to take the ball over, but the next effort ihe same man could not be stoppc. by Ford- ham’s defense, and Gilroy scored the touchdown right through (e center of the line.

One short pass, Butler to Dunn gainc v, but Fordham could make r . headway toward Two more for- tempted and both failed of completion. George- town took the hall on downs, and Maloney then punted out of danger. One of the most sensational runs of the game camc in the second period. ‘With the ball in inidfield Gilroy who was ever a worry to Fordham with his hard attack circled Iordham’s left end on a wild race for a touch- down. ‘Wall and Leighty gave him the interference at the start of the run, but they were left behind and one Fordham man made a dé¥perate effort to stop the’ flying Washingto- ian. He did get his arms around him, but Gilroy had a remarkable way of keeping his feet when tackled and he shook himself free and crossed the line. It was after this tally had been made that George- town opened its volley of aerial foot- ball. Passes followed one another in such quick succession that Fordham was bewildered. As a result of a fumble Georgetown gained possession of the ball on Fordham’s thirty-yard line. A pretty pass Wall to Gilroy gained fifteen yards and then another was executed by the same men after line plunges had been tried. This last one gave the touchdown that made the score 20 to 0 in favor of the visitors. In the first half George- town completed four forward passes for a total of sixty yvards while Ford- ham had made but two for ten yards. At the start of the second half Wall almost got away for a long run. He broke through Fordham’s line for a twenty-yard run and when it seemed that he must have a clear field for a touchdown one of the Fordham men managed to pull him down. Wall passed as he was thrown but the ball went wide and was re- covered by Fordham. The touch- down, however, came a moment later. Dunn punted out of bounds on his own thirty-five yard line and then Gilroy and Leighty completed a pass that placed the ball on Fordham's one-yard line.

New Haven, Conn., Nov- 3.—Tom Shevlin reached New Haven at noon yesterday, and was generally regard- ed at the afternoon’s practice of the team as the real head of the Yale fcotball orgnization for the remainder of the season. When asked whether Shevlin was in control Nelson Talbott spokesman for the Hinkey coaching regime, evaded the question. Captain Wilson also declined to give a direct answer, When Shevlin was questioned he good-naturedly said, “I don’t know what they do call me, You'll have to ask the powers that be. I am here to help coach.” Captain Wilson has made no state- ment concerning the coaching muddle until tonight, when he said that Yale's poor showing this fall has been due to the fact that the coaching has been done by men without experience in winning elevens, and he asserted that Hinkey had been relegated from the ! position of head coach to membershin in a coaching board. His statement follows: ol “The football situation up to to- day has been that the team has lost confidence, and lacks knowledge of elementary football, This has been due in a large part to the fact that experienced and older men who have played in former championship teams have not been assisting in the coach- ing. They have been now called back, both by Coach Hinkey and myself. i The Georgetown men were giving i the runner almost perfect interfer- ence at all times and the Fordham ends were put out of the plays which accounts for the long gains Maloney, Fall Overc Our Overcoat showing will ats, Ahioy!

EDWARDS SMASHES | CZe, LEAGUE RECORDS Anchor Man for Starlights Rolls in Tip Top Form The Pumpkins of the Herald league have adopted a new name, the “Punk-ins,” after the fierce exhibition that they put up yesterday afternoon at the Aetna alleys against the S('hooners, the leaders in the league. There was nothing about the games to cause any alarm, and the defeat of the “Punk-ins” means a trip nearer the cellar for them. League records were smashed in the games between the Starlights and the Dewdrops when Edwards rolled the high score of 120 in the third £ame and he also annexed the high three string of the league at 303. The strong New’tons succeeded in Tiolding on to the tie for first place when they beat the Shamrocks in straight strings. “Bill” O'Brien for the victors and “Jimmy” Moran the losers featured.

Fast games featured in the City league last evening. The Live Oaks Cefeated the Wanderers in _three games. In the second contest of the evening the Tigers took two games from the Tribunes, in which a new league record was set by the former club of 537. The summary follows: 83 88— 268 could say now: He has contradicted himself once. T traced up his state- ment to the Yale News Sunday night. It gave the wrong impression. He spoke hastily on that occasion.” Continuing, Mr. Talbott said of Hinkey and Shevlin during the after- noon practice: “Hinkey was in the field as an ac- tive coach, and will so remain all the season. Shevlin did not say much during the afternoon, but lookad things over with Hinkey. He and the situation.” Mike Sweeney, the Hill school coach and trainer who brought out Shevlin in his preparatory school ca- reer, joined his old pupil last night. Yale's lineup yesterday shifted, Jim Higginbotham went to left end, dis- ! placing Mosecley, Howard Van No: trand ran the 'Varsity for the first time, Captain Wilson being shifted to half back. Again there was no scrimmage. Yesterday’s line-up for the signal practice: Left end, Higginbotham; left tackle, Gates; left guard, Ken(; center, White; right guard, Jim Shel- don; right tackle, Way; right end, Wiedman; quarterback, Van Nos- trand: left halfback, Waite; right halfback, Captain Wilson; fullback, Scovil. Tonight 2,500 students, headed by a band, paraded through the campus and serenaded the team and coaches. The team was having night signal drill in the baseball cage, and the | demonstration grew to such propor- tions that Shevlin, Bigelow and Wil- son responded to calls for speeches. Shevlin received an ovation that last- ed ten minutes. All spoke optimi tically of Yale’s chances in the “bi games. COLUMBIA WINS FIRST. New York, Nov. 3.—For a team new in the football pastime, Columbia 1s coming along famously. Tae eleven displayed a fairly good knowledge of the gridiron game at South Field yes- terday and rode roughshod over the husky Stevens Tech eleven, winning by a score of 15 to 6. It was a good game to look at, and a crowd of about 7,500 which filled the small stands and stood up hack of the goal posts, became as enthusiastic as the gather- ings which used to watch the Colum- hia games when the Blue and White mingled with the aristocracy of the gridiron.

Trate picked a Fighter from the throng And barred his pathway to the goal; At each new blow, with purpose strong, He fought with ever braver soul; And step by step he fought Fate back The easier each passing day, And soon before the staunch attack Fate fled in terror from his way. And at the end he whim blessed Fate's Which reminds us again of Col, John Trotwood Moore’s immortal re- frain: *“Only the game fish swim up stream.” Swimming with the current is the greatest softener in the game.

Nov. 3.—Jess Willard, world’s heavyweight champion, and his. manager, Tom Jones, said last night they had agreed with Dominick Tortorich and Tommy Burns, local fight promoters, to sign a contract for New Orleans Nerve and Efficiency Again, In the old days “Yale courage” and | ““Yale spirit” were among the leading tepies of sport. Today, you hear Yale sighing for the old days of “Yale fight.” But taking nothing from the Yale of other years, it wasn’t so much a matter of courage or spirit after all. These terms were overplaved. Tt was Yale “efficfency” that, in the main, pro- moted Yale spirit. Ten years ago Yale had more courage and spirit than other rivals had, merely because Yale had more efficiency. We have preached this doctrine before, the idea that efficiency makes for nerve and courage. And Yale elevens were the most efficient elevens that took to the field. Not because they were made up of men any braver or more courageous than the Yale men of the present day. But because they were far more efficient upon the fleld. Yale, today, in football, is inefficient. Ang inefficiency and spirit or courage rarely travel the same paths. The Small College Rise. This explains the changed state shown by smaller universities in meet- ing the larger ones. In the old days the smaller univer- sities knew little football, compari- tively. They had not received the fine | coaching they have in late vears. | When they stepped out upon the field | against a big Y or a big H they were beaten beforehand, knowing they were inefficient in every way. The big' Y and the big H were merely emblems of greatly superior efficiency. Today these smaller college clevens, or many of them, know they are about as efficient as the larger ones. And with this knowledge has come the new nerve or confidence so often com- mented upon. The bravest man in the world is up against a tough proposition and often likely to break when he is up against a rival that he knows is a better man at the game. The answer is to forget a bale of for efficiency. To Scoffers. No, Reginald, the Oregon Aggies are Western coast. Washington Univer- sity has almost forgotten how to lose. And there are others. Maxims of the Fourth Down. The best football generalship in the world is to hand the other fellow cxactly what he isn't looking for. tackle is to hit the other guy harder than he hits you. ! We only hope that Mr. John Frank- lin Baker, of Trappe, Md., signs a new contract soon, or else that he will kindly dig himself in so deeply upon his Maryland farm that not even ‘Winter League excavator can lift him ocut again. “Football is entirely too brutal,” Squires ..
