Y. U. To-Morrow Coach Neville Admits Rival Eleven Is More Experi- enced in Football. By Burris Jenkins Jr. THE end of the football season for Lb © CON. Y. te only a week away. The important game of the year comes to-morrow when City College plays New York Unoi- versity on Ohio Field. The seasun closes @ week from to-morrow with Catholic University of Washington. Fifteen years ago football was dis- continued at C. C. N. Y. In the past N. Y. U. was the chief rival. C. C. N. ¥. was more frequently tho winner. This year the C. C. N. Y. eleven faces such handicaps that the odds are all against the team. The coach had to build a team without a since man of any college football experi- ence. Joseph Neville, former Yale star, head coach for C. C. N. Y., said yesterday: “The only way our team ean beat New York University is by playing at the top of its game and by get- ting the breaks. Otherwise N. Y. U. will beat us. They have a much more experienced team. Their men know more football. It is hard for a team without at least a year of football experience to use what foothull knowledge it acquires. jo matter how much the players are taught, they forget it in a game. But we have greatly improved in the last tw weeks. And to-morrow I can expect the fellows to fight for all their wortn. anyhow."" c. C. N. ¥, has lost all games ex- cept the one last Saturday with the N. Y. Aggies, when they won 14 to 7. At the beginning of the season N. Y¥ U. beat the N. Y. Aggies 38-0, Ho- hart beat N. Y. U. 20-0 and C. C, N. Y. only 24-0. Both teams had a long practice yes- terday, but without scrimmage. Coach Thorp of N. ¥. U. is taking no chances on losing to C. C. N, Y. in spite of the superior record of his team and is working out new plays. Cc. C. N. ¥. spent the afternoon breaking up the N. Y. U. plays made by the scrubs, ‘Truck’ Moftey, 120- pound quarter, is expected to start for c.c.N. Y, COLUMBIA GETS READY FOR MIDDLEBURY GAME. Columbia had the first scrimmage yesterday since the Cornell game and the last before meeting Middlebury. In the half hour Burtt of the varsity made two touchdowns against the Scrubs, and Roderick and Koppiseh one each. Middlebury plays were used by the Scrubs. Tiithonen and J Meyers were the new wingmen. Mill- ingsley was on the side lines, as John- son's ankle was hurt again in the Cornell game. Blaine was vack al centre and Bordil at guard, opposite Gehrig. LONG SIGNAL DRILL FOR THE FORDHAM SQUAD. Fordham had no scrimmage yester- day, but a long signal drill in prepara- tion for ‘Colby to-morrow. Colby brings an eleven which lost to Spring field, 12-0; to Brown, 13-0, and to Maine, 14-0, but which won from Lowell, 7-0, and tied the gamvs with Boston University, Bates and Bow- doin. ———— Navy Applications for Army Game Exceed Allotment.
