‘ee SVeWINe WURLD, “TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, SEVERAL NEW PLAYERS ADD STRENGTH 10 TEAM Charley Brickly, Former Harvard Football Hero, Now Coaching Maroon Team, Confident New York College Youngsters Will Have Most Successful Season—Shankey, Candidate for Quarterback, a Real Find. By Robert Boyd. UCH of the foothall craftiness of Percy Haughton will be lent to M Fordham Uriversity this fall. Not that the dean of American coach- ing will be seen at the little Mafoon institution in the Bronx. ‘The years that he was mentor at Harvamd he instilled the spirit of his great canniness in all the players that came and departed at Cambridge. Many of them that learned the game under this genius of the gridiron are to-day coaches, and thus the spirit of the once great Crimson coach gsur- vives throughout the land. You can notice it in the old-fashioned and dignified lttle college at Ford- ham, for Charley Brickley bas cast his lot with the coaching staff of the Maroon for the season of 1921. Brickley needs no jntroducing to sport-loving Americans, IMs praises have been sung from the Atlantic to the sunny slopes of the Pacific. The wizardry he picked up from Haughton and the adeptness of his toe in| kicking field goals have established him as one of the immortals of the American gridiron, and his name %¢@—————_ fegendary. Brickley has brought all he learned nd big own great natural ability to whip @ football team into shape that the little Mdroon college might be proud of. But Brickley is not alone in guiding the destinies of the cullege football candidates. In fact, the great Harvard star who terrorized Yale and Princeton while he was a student at Cambridge will just serve tm the capacity of advisory coach under Joe Du Moe, mentor of last. year, It will not hamper the poape of his coaching activities. Great early practice. This 1s Whitmore's first year at Fordham. He comes | from ‘the Middle West, heralded as| its greatest schoolboy player. Du Moe expects to move Tommy Fallon, left tackle of 1921, to one of the end positions. This will leave the line from tackle to tackle without any of the vete ns of it year.

Campion any one of the “Big Three” of the Past with pride to have such a staff moulding its team for the strenuous fall sport. It has often been said in football that the coaching of a team is gen- erally reflected in the morale dis- played by the players. This is borne out at Fordham, for never has the spirit of the institution on the foot- ball field run as high as it is this year. and Louis, two promising Interschol- astic stars who made great reputa- tions on the High School gridiron of New Jersey will be hard to Reep from landing a position on the team ac-| cording to the coaching staff.

By Vincent Treanor. 11 racing stewards at Belmont ark are investigating the last two races run by H. Alterman's Tufter, with a chance of exposing a jockey ring. What conclusion they will arrive at remaing to be seen. Tufter beat Sunnyland and Dark Hill by eight lengths last Thursday, but in his previous race, on the Monday before, Sunnyland galloped : way from. him. On the latter occasion Tufter was an 5 to 6 favorite and Sunnyland # receding 3 to 1 shot. On ‘Thursday last Sunnyland was a 6 to 6 chance, and Dark Hill, ane of those “money from home" even money s1) ‘Tufter was at 4 to 1, with all (ie wise sharps steering clear of him, ‘Where wasn't any /good reason why Dark Hill should have been such a of Robinson it may help them in their inquiry, but the chances are they won't. Jockeys can furnish too many alibis. Robinson rides for James Me- Clelland and the Xalapa Farm Stables, and McClelland swears by his honesty. It is common gossip around the track these days that there is a jockey combination riding horses to s themselves, and that the trainer who. hasn't a rider of his own never knows at to expect of his horses after he ‘3 them through the paddock gate. This gossip, of course, is hard to run down. Still eve ards hears it. When a trainer says "ll win if I get a ride,” as many of them express themselves, there must be something going on in the ranks up. sufferers, it seems. They*’can be made the fall guys, as the saying goes, by riders who decide for themselves whether or not the steeds are to be cut loose.

The morale under these condi- | tioffs, together with coaching, alwaye| answered the reason. This year it is conspicuous by its absence. A trip to New Haven, Princeton or the Soldier's Field at Cambridge would not leave such favorable impressions as you re- ceive at Fordham. The question is easily answered. It is the coaching to-day that has made Fordham an- other university, speaking in football terms. Du Moe, Brickley and Sullivan, the great coaching triumvirate, have rehabilitated the spirit of the uni- versity, Just as these three stars had finished a session in blackboard drilling we ed the thre was the coaches, unanimous Du Moe was the first one to speak | @bout the material he expected to develop into All-American ends Capt. Fitzpatrick, with several years of experience, 1s to-day the best end at Fordham. His playing last year ‘was one of the bright f Maroon. Du Moe will have one more player to develop out of cellent material as a running to Pitzpatrick. Healy and Woodward, two gpeat ends who have entered Fordham with reputations made in high school, have impressed Du Moe with their playing last week so much that he predicts a hard time picking one of the two to take care of the extreme end of the line to Capt. Fitz- patrick. Shankey, a sophomore and eandi- date for quarterback, is one of the real “finds” of the team. Brickley expects great things from this young- ster. “Another Edie Mahan,” ie the verdict of the great Harvard kicker after seeing Shankey shoot around the end; heave forward passes, and ereate interference for the other backs carrying the ball, He will be a bard man to beat out for quarter. “Fido” Kempton, Yale's clever quar- ferback of last year has not ided whether he will take a law course Fordham.
