Gilroy to Leighty was a favorite pass, and another that worked with success was from Wall to Gilroy. The Washington team scored in the first few minutes of play. Wall got away for a long run of twenty-five yards that put the ball close to the Fordham goal. One p: inge at the line by Gilroy failed to take the ball over, but the next effort i y the same man could not be stopped by Ford- ham's defense, and Gilroy scored the touchdown right through the center of the line.

Two more for ward passes were attempted and both failed of completion. George town took the ball on downs, and Maloney then punted out of danger. One of the most sensational runs of the game came in the second period!. With the ball in midfield Gilroy who was ever a worry to Fordham with his hard attack circled Fordham'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 desperate 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 yards 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. Wall scored the touchdown. The Georgetown men were giving 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, vercoafs, Ahoy i The time for wearing them is within easy hailing distance in fact they are quite in order now for Evening Wear.

TOM SHEVLIN ARRIVES TO HELP ELI ELEVEN Whether Or Not He is Bead Coach Powers That He Will Not State Definitely. 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 football 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 membership in a. coaching board. His statement follows: ! "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 f acfo that experienced and older men who have played in former championship teams have nob been assisting in the coach ing. They have been now called back, both by Coach Hinkey and myself. They will take charge of the team- In effect the change is a return to. the old Yale method of a board of coaches taking the responsibility for the team, instead of any single each. Mr. Hinkey will be one of this board." Ex-Captain Talbott was asked yes terday afternoon if Captain Wilson had any statement to make and he responded in the negative. He said: "I don't see what Captain Wilson could say now- He has contradicted himself once. I 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 Jn the field as an ac tive coach, and will so remain all the season. Shevlin did not say much during the afternoon, but looked things over with Hinkey. He and Frank sab together and talked over 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 ehd, dis placing Moseley. Howard Van Nos 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, Higginbobham; left tackle, Gates; left guard, Kent; 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 optimis tically of Yale's chances in the "big" games- EDWARDS SMASHES 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 Schooners, 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 rame and he also annexed the high three string of the league at 303.

Fate called a quitter from the crowd And barred his pathway to success; At each new blow he wailed' aloud And faltered in the strife and stress; And step by step Fate dragged him low The easier each passing day, And yet he struck no counter blow Or ever upward fought his way. And at the end he cursed the Fate That swept him to such wretched state. Fate 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 blessed Fate's whim That help'ed to make a man of him. says Ty Cobb, who evidently never had to play third base and attempt to dodge his own whirling spikes, gleam ing in the summer sun. Shevlin at Yale. What good can Shevlin do at Yale? Well, for one thing, he can at least furnish some mental inspiration and help Yale to make a better battle. For even in a short time he can add a certain amount of team efficiency. Also Shevlin has the tradition of 1910 back of his work. Harvard and Princeton should both beat Yale and both probably will but both will meet GOLD CHALLENGE CUP WON BY DARIO RESTA a better Yale team than they now ex pect to face.

Dario Reista, in a Pcugeat car, won the lOO-milo auto race for the Ilarkness Gold Challenge cup and $5,000 in cash at the Sheepshead Bay speedway track yesterday. His time for the distafice, 56:55:71, established a new American record, and an average of 106.39 miles an hour. The Brookland, Eng land world's record for 100 miles, is 56:29:23 which is 25:78 seconds fast er than made by Ilesta yesterday. Iten- ta also beat the Chicago 58:54, which he made Burman, also in a Peaugeat, second in 58::33:95 and kenbacker was third in 61:00:59. Six cars started, but John Altken inj a Peaugeat, was forced out of tin race by a broken connecting rod after leading for the first ten miles. Ralph De Palma's Mercedes car met with a similar mishap after going forty miles. Ralph Mulford, in a Peaugeat the other driver, might have been second, if not the actual win ner, had he no been compelled to gqto the pit five times during the race through flat tires. Altken led for the first ten miles J of the race and was then forced to stop because of a broken connecting rod. Mulford led at the end of twen-1 ty-five miles, which he covered In 14:07, averaging 106 3-10 miles an hour. Resta led when the fifty-mila mark was turned. His time as 28:24:55 and his speed average 105:57 miles an hour. Mulford was then sec ond and Burman third. De Palma re tired from the race because of I- a broken connecting rod on the twen tieth lap. ' ; City League Results. Fast games featured in the City league last evening. The Ive Oaks defeated 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: Tigers. Puppel 97 83 88 268 Robertson 110 94 87 291 W. Erickson ... Ill 84 93 288 T. Wright 106 97 91 294 Anderson 113 103 106 322 courage or spirit after all. These terms were overplayed. It was Yale "efficiency" 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 field. Yale, today, in football, is inefficient. And inefficiency and spirit or courage rarely travel the same paths. CAN'T STOP PETER. San Francisco, Nov. 3. Peter Scott, owned and driven by Thomas Murphy of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., won the $20, 000 stake trot at the Exposition park, here yesterday in three straight heats. The first money amounts to "$10,000.

For a team new in the football pastime, Columbia is coming along famously. The 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 back of the goal posts, became as enthusiastic as the gather ings which used to watch the Colum bia games when the Blue and White mingled with the aristocracy of the gridiron. 471 511 435 1417 League record.

In the old days the smaller univer sities knew little football, compari tively. They had not received the fine coaching they have in late years. 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 elevens, 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 is 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 this nerve or courage bunk and go out for efficiency. To Scoffers. No, Reginald, the Oregon Aggies are not the only football players along the 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 exactly what he isn't looking for. The only way to save yourself on a 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 out again.
