New York, Oct. 9.—Coach Eustls, who has been guiding the fortunes of the New York University football eleven since the beginning of the season, has been called to the serv- | ice of Uncle Sam. Since his dis- charge from the Plattsburg training ! camp he has coached the Violet grid- | ders. Yesterday he was ordered to the aviation fleld at Mineola. Despite the fact that the Violet ,cleven has lost not only the greater | number of its athletes but also its coach, the team will continue all athletic activities. Hopes for the future of the eleven will from now on pivot about the coaching of Fustis' assistant, Frank Wall. Yesterday a rumor floated about the campus that the coaching will be taken up by George Cusack, an N. Y. U. alumnus. The rumor was strength- ened when Cusack himself appeared on the fleld in football togs and went through a workout. Next Saturday is an open date in the football schedule which the man- agement is trying to flll. The most likely opponent will be Rensselaer. ROYAL ROOTERS COOMING.
