HE EVENING WORLD, 8A OTHER SPORT NEWS LTHOUGH the sensational fin- ish of the three Greater New York teams fn both leagues has detracted considerable atten- ton from the early commencement of the coming football season, it has not tended to dampen the ardor or enthusiasm of metropolitan football followers, nor affected their predic- tion that the coming season on the gridiron will outrank that of eny in the annals of the game. Coaches of the popular intercollegi- | ate aport have expressed the opinion | that football suffered infinitely dur- ing the last few years as a result of the late war, inasmuch as a large number of the student body who were potential athletic factors, left college to don a sult of khaki and did not return to resume their studies a late as the fall of 1919, after being demobilized into civilian fe, Many, however, following the lw in the glamour of war's after- math have reconsidered their inten- tions and are flocking back to collee. This has been the chief reason for this year's optimistic outlook, not only in New York but throughout the ht change mate in the rules be accepted aw negligible. Clipping being forbidden whether or not the ball is dead; if done to the man obviously out of the play; the unnecessary roughing of the forward passer if the offense is committed after the pass is made. The punt out being abolished, allowing the team making the touchdown to take the ball straight out in front of the goal posts to make its try for a goal, and & few more minor changes which will in no way hamper the playing one way or another, except eliminating unnecessary rough and uncalled for tactics. Local interest seems to be focused chiefly In the direction of Columbia University. Not that the Blue and White have any players of Individual greatness, or the material, collec- tively speaking, is anything extraor- dinary. But the Morningside insti- tution haa enlisted the services of a coach par excellence in Frank (Buck) O'Neill, formerly mentor of Syracuse and Colgate, one of the greatest football tutors of this generation. COLUMBIA LUCKY IN SECURING *8UCH A GOOD COACH. ‘The erstwhile gridiron star and Sraduate of Williams is at present practising law in the metropolis, and that alone accounts for Columbia's good fortune in obtaining his services and the reason for his forsaking @yr- acuse, where, from the coaching pening he accomplished the inm- possible in ‘bringing the up-Statera up to the same level of football effi- clency es any of the Big Four, wanking last year among the four best .cams in the Enat. O'Neil’ pioneer work at Colgate, where he succeeded in transferring the little up-State college from impo- tency to tts present high level in the football firmament, argues well for the spirit and encouragement that will prevail on Morningside Heights this fall. Since Columbia's revival of foot- ball a few years ago her football representation has been far from the standard set by her former teams, be- fore the abolishment of the game at South Field As a matter of fact, considering the sizeof the college, her teams have been more or less a source of amusement, due fundamentally to inferior coaching. But this year a new aspect in this tmportant phase of the game will be noticeable and will consequently result in the achievements of the “miracle man” of football being anxiously awaited. Coach O'Neil will have all of last year’s Varsity team with the execep- tion of one man, who graduated in June, together with several shining lights from last year’s freshman sq The candidates who will report to Buck O'Neil at South Field next Mon- day inolude: Line men O'Brien, Lar- ner, Forsythe, Nohl, Grace, Brodil, who stroked last year’s Varaity arew and who is expected to develop into a real star, Scovil, Meyers, Johnson, Hinch and Mordelli, Burt, Chase and Pulleyn are the finds who will be eligible from the freshman team. Wienstein, Kennedy, Appelbaum and Mosszucki, Canaparry and Hoeles are the veterans of last year's back- field who will report this year, while Thornton, De Fronzo and Johnstone are the new men available who will try for a place in the backfield. Fordham will be coached this yea: Do you feel all tangled up—bilious, constipated, headachy, nervous, full of colds? Take Cascarets to-night to straighten you out by morning.

York University Is Rosy. by Joe Dumoes, former all-star end at Lafayette, The Maroons have been absent from the gridiron a short time, but are antictpating the de- veloping of a team of unprecedented calibre judging from the material that answered Coach Dumoes' call for practice Monday, Frank Gargan, who joined the New York University coaching staft dur- ing the middle of last season, will as- sume full charge of the coaching this year. Gargan did some capital coach- ing after his arrival at N. Y. U. in 1919, which was directly responsible for the team making such an impres- sive showing in the lust few games. Capt. Howard Cann, the violet main- stay in the back field, will not return to college this year, having graduated last June. Storey at tackle and Brinn at centre, two sterling line men, have also recelyed their degree and will not return. But Gargan will have several scholastic stars, guch as |}; Berbetrom and Shogro, two backfield men /who, aithough not eligible to play this year, will add great strength to the freshman team. A number of real good men will be available to the first squad, who played a strong game of football on che freshman eleven last year, The regulars who will return this fall inchide: Capt. Weinheimer; Brin, centre; Thompson, Levine and Potters, ends; MeUmber, guard Baker, next years basketball Ca tain, and Adams, tackles!

HE all-important’, Yank-Indian series ends to-day with Herh Thormahlen slated to pitch for the visitors and Jim Bagley for tho home team. It is the third and rubber game. There was one thrilling and really big moment of the second game. It jarrived as early as the openiag inning, when the wonderful Babe Ruth litted the ball over the high wired right field fence, the lanky Wally Pipp, who had Previously walked, scoring ahead of the smiling Babe. ‘This ponderous clout and a ponder- ous clout it was, Inid the foundation for the easy 6 to 1 victory that Miller Huggins’ young men scored over the Speaker tribe, and gave Ruth hi forty-eighth home run of the season, He needs only two more to reach the fifty mark, and these he ex! place in the books before the trip comes to an end.

Seven times this season “Bob, the Gob" has faced the terrible Indians and on no less than six occa- sions he has downed the Speaker tribe. His pitching was of the best, and if Duffy Lewis had not allowed Elmer Smith's hit to get away from him in the seventh inning nary a one of the home athletes would have found his way to the home plate. Smith reached third when the ball escaped Duffy's hands, and he scored when Doc Johnston followed a clean two-bagger to left centre field. ‘This was the only inning that the Indians gave him any trouble. Shawkey ylelded only six hits, and it was not until the seventh that a Cleveland player reached third base. With two out in this session Wambs- ganss singed to centre and went to third when Ruth allowed the ball to roll through his legs, The Babo brought the inning to a close, how- ever, by grabbing Speaker's long drive, The Yankees looked like a far differ- ent ball club than ti one of Thurs- day, and behind Shawkey’s ood pitching the inner defense of the New York team made a number of flua plays. The work of Pipp around first base was especially noteworthy, his stop of Jamieson's hard smash in the eighth inning robbing the outtlelder of a single at least The game, like Thursday's affair, lagged. and there was little or no ¢ citement.
