decisive victory over the High School of Commerce by a score of .17 to IGpoints.
Brooklyn also «rained second place ?>--
in the final standing when ErasmusHall High School, winner of the, serieslast year, defeated Townsend HarrisHall in the closest meet of the day by31 to 21 points. Erasmus Half won
eight of its nine series, suffering itsonly setback at the hands of Manual.
Stuyvesr.nt and Clinton, both ofManhattan, are tied for third placewith six victories in the nine series,while the other six contesting schoolsare placed as follows: Commerce,Townsend Harris Hall, Bovs' High,Curtis. Evander Childs and Bryant.
Surpass Best Previous EffortsIn their final meet the Manual swim¬
mers surpassed their other creditableefforts during the tourney. Their mostconspicuous feat was in winnine the200-yard relay race in 1 minute 5*7 4-5seconds. This time smashes the exist¬ing public schoolboy record for theevent by 13 3-5 seconds. However,only new records are recognized inthe individual championship meetwhich follows the dual series.The Commerce squad was unable to
match the speed of its rivals, whowon five first places. Searle, of Com¬merce, saved the sixth first place forh¡3team when he won the fancy dive,with 29 points, which was one more
point than that credited to King, ofManual, who was second.
Arnold, of Manual, returned one ofthe fastest times for 50-yards duringthe tournev, being clocked in 28 sec¬onds. Herbert Foote, son of Co'onelJohn Foote. formerly of the 14th Reg¬iment, Brooklyn, added to his victoriesin the 100-yard event.
Five First PlacesErasmus managed to outscore Town-
send Harris Hall for first places, withfive to its credit, but the Townsendboys were more proficient in pullingdown second places. Mindlin, ofTownsend. won the plunge for dis¬tance with a "float" of 52 feet, whileHorac McMullen, Erasmul, capturedhis fifth 50-yard swim in the fasttime of 30 seconds.
In the other meet scheduled, theweak Evander-Childs High School felleasy pr«^y to Stuyvesant High Schoolby a score of 44 to 9 points. WhileStuyvesant failed to fare as well as
expected during the series its repre¬sentatives will be conspicuous in thecoming individual title competitions.
Perry, Loewy, Robinson and Ken¬nedy, consistent winners for Stuwe-snnt, gained additional victories. Of th<?r>:ne points collected by Evander-Childs, Buchanan tallied five points^>y winning the fancy dive.

Lehigh to ResumeSport Relations
With PrincetonSpecial Correspondence
BETHLEHEM, Pa., Jan. 17..Thatfavorable negotiations are pending withPrinceton to resume athletic relationswith Lehigh became known at the regu¬lar monthly meeting of the Lehigh Ath¬letic Association. Princeton, it is un¬derstood, views the proposition favor¬ably and will consider Lehigh on thefirst opportunity presented. It is sixyears since relations between the twoinstitutions were severed.Among other matters of importanceI was the discussion for a new Lacrossecoach. The schedule is drawn up, andwith the first game scheduled with thej Navy at Annapolis on April 10. Severalapplications were received, but nodefinite appointment made. However, itis understood that the probable coachwill be T. C. O'Neil. of Ottawa, Canada.O'Neil played under Glenn Warner ntCarlisle, and after the latter left forPittsburgh, assumed the coaching dutiesand remained there up to the time thegovernment abandoned the school. Sincethen he has played extensively inCanada.Basketball, soccer, swimming andwrestling are the present seasonablesports on which interest is mostly cen¬tered. Although the basketball schedule
was ratified at a previous meeting of theathletic council, permission was grantedto meet the Crescent Athletic Club atBrooklyn on January 24. The CrescentAthletic Club is also entered in the In¬tercollegiate Lacrosse League and meetsLehigh.Lehigh will keenly feel the loss ofKenneth Bovier, intercollegiate wrest¬ling champion in the 125-pound class.Manager Gardy in busy arranging thebaseball schedule. Ten of the nineteen
games have already been closed and heexpects to complete the list in two orthree weeks.
¡New York Team VictoriousPHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17. -New Yorkdefeated Philadelphia in an inter-cityracquet match here to-day, winningthree matches and gaining the fourthby default. The local player« wereheaded by Jay Gould, recent winnerof the open court tennis championship.Eastwood Elected CaptainPROVIDENCE, Jan 17..Cecil East¬wood, of the class of '21, was to-nightelected captain of the 1920 footballteam of Rhode Island State College.Eastwood's home is in Providence.To Stage Five-Mile Run
A five-mile invitation run will bepromoted by the Lawler Bros, AthleticAssociation, beginning at Howard Ave¬nue and Munroe Street, Brooklyn, thismorning at 11 a, m.
Great preparations are now beingmade at Fordham University for thecoming baseball season. Evidently theBronx collegians intend to tnakc astrong bid for the championship of theEast, which they came within an aceof winning last year. Baseball expertsrated them second to Holy Cross andthe Maroon nine was the only team toregister a victory over the Worcesteraggregation.
Aloysius P. Arthur, the. Fordhammanager, is busy preparing his sched¬ule which, from present indications,will be the most imposing list, ofgames over arranged at the Bronx in-rt'P-'v'-inn inH will include most of theleading teams of the East.
At Least Thirty Games.Contests have already been booked
with Harvard. PrinccLon, Pennsylvania.Holy Cross, Army, West Virginia, Co¬lumbia and Dartmouth, in addition toa score of other teams. The completeschedule, which will be ready for pub¬lication within the next fortnight, willconsist, of at least thirty ganien, more«),.,. i1np nf which will be played atFordham Field.The Maroon nine will probably open
its season with the Boston Collegeteam, whose star pitcher, Fitzpatrick,registered two victories over the NewYorkers last. year. The game will bestaged at Fordham Field on April 1.The contests with Pennsylvania, Har¬
vard and Lehigh will mean a renewal ofathletic re'ations with these institu¬tions after the lapse of almost a dec¬ade. Colgate, Dartmouth, West Vir¬ginia and Tufts will appear on theschedule for the first time in severalyears. The University of Pittsburghnine will visit Fordham Field on May20.One of the features of the schedule
is the contest with the Giants, whichwill be staged at the Polo Grounds onApril 12/ two days before the openingof the league season. Arrangementsare now being made to hold a celebra¬tion in honor of Frank Frisch, the starshortstop of the Fordham nine lastyear, who will probably appear in theline-up against his former teammates.
Southern Trip at EasterPlans are now practically completed
for the annual Southern trip, whichwill be made during the Easter vacation. The Maroon nine will meet Vil¬lanova at Vjllanova, Pa.; Johos Hopkinsat Baltimore and Catholic Universityat Washington. A tram» is also pend-ing with the Baltimore Orioles,champions of the Internationnl Leaguewhom For«iham defeated at Baltimorelast spring by the score of 9 to 7.-Home-and-home series have been
scheduled with Columbia, Hoïy Cross,Boston College, Johns Hoipkinsj, Cath-o'ic University and VHlanova. Effortsare being made to arrange games withthe teams from the University of Ore¬gon and the Universitv of Cai;fm'nin.both of which will make an Easterntrip in the spring.Great disappointment, has been ex¬
pressed at Fordham over the absenceof Yale from the list of frames. Ford¬ham and Yale- engaged in two extra-inning contests last year, each teambeing victories in one. The NewHaven authorities have notified theFordham management that they willbe unable to give the Maroon aggre¬gation a place on their schedule thisseason.
Prospects for a strong nine at theBronx* university are brighter than inmany years in spite 'if y;he 'oss ofFrank Frisch, who was the mainstayof the toan; during the last campaign.Seven of the regulars have returnedto college this year, and, in additionseveral former stars frc«m FordhamPrep and other high schools will becandidates for the team.Among the veterans are Lefevre,
third baseman and captain of the 1920team; McLoughlin, first baseman;Kcough, left fielder; Buckley, centerfielder; and Donovan, catcher. Thepitching staff should be particularlystrong, as the veterans. Finn, Mac-Ñamara, and Holloran, will probably bein shape to take their regular turns inthe box from the start of the season.! Arthur Devlin, whose efforts as coachduring the first year at fordham were Icrowned with notable success, has re-cently affixed his signature to a con-
| tract to (direct Fordham's baseballdestinies for another year. He an-nounccd last night that he will issuethe first call for candidates on Febru-j ary 15th.

Real All-Americas NamedFor All-Service Eleven
Nearly Every Player Honored by Walter Camp Is Se¬lected by Trumbull in Choosing Two SquadsComposed of Men Who Were in the Service
The All-Service football team, made up of players who served withthe army or navy during the World War, has been selected by WalterTrumbull, late captain 116th Field Artillery, U. S. A. Six, of the menpicked for Captain Trumbull'8 first eleven were selected by Walter Campfor his first team. Captain Trumbull gives his reasons for selecting thisunique 100 per cent Ail-American team.

When the Hun tried to force kultur down the throats of his neigh¬bors and acquaintances," and lost a few fingers in the operation, footballdid its bit. When the call came nobody had to supply an ear trumpet toany of the amateur athletes,of this country, and the response from thepunters of the pigskin vas close to 100 per cent. How well they playedthe game is evidenced by the fact tl^it about half of the men connectedwith sport who to-day sleep over yonder, arc football men.
ity in the land that cannot proudlypoint tq names on its roster of gridironheroes of those who made good in thegreater game. Among the first to seekand find the Great Adventure wasJohnnie Poe; Johnnie Poo, of Prince¬ton, and the Black Watch; Johnnie Poewho once sent the message to an elev¬en, "If you won't be beat, you can'tbe beat." Not a bad slogan for anarmy, that!Princeton gave other great football
players to the cause. There was GarryCochrane, end; Joe Duff, guard; andArthur Bleuthenthal, center; each anAU-American man.
Football Heroes FallThen there were Hamilton Coolidgc
and Philip Mills and Dilwyn Starr,of Harvard, and Alec Wilson, of Yale,and Belvidere Brooks, of Williams, andLloyd Hamilton, of Syracuse, and (i. \V.Berriman, of Brown, and T. W. Ashley,of Amherst, and J. A. Emery and C. A.Pudrith, of Dartmouth, and Jeff Healy,of Columbia, and Gerald Carroll, ofNew York University, and William B.Dean, of West Point, and William M.Nichols, of Annapolis, and a whole longstring of others known to tame on thecrosR-barrel Held. '
Yes, football did its part, and if i:is played on the Elysinn Finida whatgreat eleven must be fathered there!But this article do with !!.boyH who camo back. Not'the olderfootball men and the service was f IIof them.but the boys who, a ter a-, harmy or navy schooling, Stil! wiryoung enough to go back In the class-'rooms und athletic fields of their col¬leges and universities. From tho ranks
of these this all-service football teamhas been selected.Some of these men saw active fight¬
ing while others did not. 'Those whowere not actually in the gamo werewarming up on the sidelines, eager tohop to it when their chance mightcome. If they were in this country orin the S. O. S.-. rather than actuallymingling with tho brawling boche, thefault was none of theirs. It lay some¬where higher up among tho series ofpeaks that rose in Washington.With practically all the football menin the country from whom to pick, no
claim is made that this is the best all-service team that could have beenchosen. There may be better men forsome of the positions than those se¬lected, but we refuse to be drawn intoany discussion of the matter. Thoughour judgment may be questioned andthe echo of loud and scornful laughterresound from various parts of thecountry where football solons sit, werefuse to explain by indorsementhereon. These men are pood enough.They are good enough for us and theyare good enough for anybody.We do not call it. an all-serviceeleven because it consists of twenty-two men. All of us know the necessityof replacements. Neither has any(.Teat elfort been made to divide theselections into a first and seconi:eleven. There are two men for eachplace, Drtcl if one of their, happened tche on sick retort the other would d<jist about us well, or perhaps in sumcusí Kelter.
Many Player,. EligibleIt, would have been just ahout as ens;1.0 pick five men for each position as ti
I Ick two. Fur instance, there are suclplayers as Conovor, Wav. Uubb aniOslinrn. n. l'l.nn _..ntn- Hnhort<.nn #.
Syracuse; Robertson, of Dartmouth:Anderson, of Colgate! Weldon, of Lafa¬yette; Braden, of Yale; Harrick andHite, of West Virginia; Weston, Scottand Elliot, of Wisconsin, arid a battal¬ion or so of others who are just aboutas valuable football players as everdrew on a cleated shoe.
But, as I have mentioned, the rosterassembled should be eminently satis¬factory. We claim that this outfit as awhole possesses the capabilities to runwith the speed of a scout plane engine,to bump the line with the calm deter¬mination of a moving tank annoyed bysome slight obstruction, to pass withthe east of :i seasoned crops siiooterand to kick with the grace nnà fluencyof a doughboy voicing an encomium ofhis rations.
First, taking up the end.s, Higginswas a member of the championship89th Division team, Miller started outin the cavalry and Meyers and Brownwere aviators. Meyers, by the way,was a captain of aviation and wascredited with four enemy machines.
All of these men could cover kickslike a circus tent, could break up andget through interference, could receiveforward passes and could do anythingelse required of them. When they weredoing sentry duty on the wings nobodygot, by without the password, and theonly persons who had the word' werethe umpire and referee.For tackles we have material im¬
possible to beat and hard to tie. Allfour were army men. West, late ofthe 307th Field Artillery, and previ¬ously and later of Colgate, was a 200-pounder who could not only play hi?position in a manner to bring gri?fto his opponents but could also puntand kick field goals from placement.Cody weighed 210 pouT'.ds and carriedthat weight over the chalk marks withremarkable velocity. He made moretackles from down field than did theVanderbilt ends, and some of the menhe tackled in an open field later de¬clared that they must, inadvertentlyhave stepped in front of a locomotivethat was going sixty miles an hourCody was also a good drop kicker
Henry was so good on the defense thaithe opposing team usually pointed it.'attack as far away from him a* pos¬sible. Cubbage. rounds our a mosiefficient quartet.
McGraw Lqscs FingerAmong the guards, Youngstrom was
in the navy and the other three in th<army. McGraw finished the war minuia finger. Youngstrom probably blocke«more kicks this year than any line maiin the game. He certainly was a kieldestroyer, and whenever he loomed iithe offing opposing punters prepared t«submerge. Alexander and McGraw werboth great men on the defense and Barton was as steady and reliable a linman as ho was a sergeant of the A. E. J;At center Callahan, of Yale, was a
fine a defensive player as the seasoshowed, and Carpenter was s shift}dangerous lineman with the speed oan end. There would bo no weaknesin the middle of the line with thesmen there.
Williams owed most of its effectiveness this senson to the help of Goand one marine. With a larger collegBerry Boynton would have been baileas a star of the first magnitude. Hiversatility was remarkable. There wanothing that could be asked of a qúai'terback that he could not do. Stinclcomb, of Ohio State, was another gre;quarterback and did his full ohaiwith Harley toward his team's succèsHe was a deadly tackier, a fine opefield runner and had plenty of stuabovo the shoulders. He wa3 in Ünavy.Nobody will deny Eddie Casey, <Harvard, a place on uny team. It wtCnHcy who proved the salvation <his team in both the Princeton arYale games. Me can forward pass and 1
c.nn grab for a forward pnaa as if hfingers were anointed "with gluo. Hefaster thnn a Broadway spendthriand as elusivo as tho shadow ofdrpRm.Four, coaches from other colleghave called Erickson, of Waahingt«
and Jefferson, one of the best backjof the year, and that is high praise.
Oss, of Minnesota, was the sensationof Western football. He is one of thefastest sprinters in that part of thecountry, and in a broken field he isabout as easy to hold as an electriceel. Yost of Michigan; Zuppke, of Uli-nois, and Richards, of Wisconsin, calledOss one of the greatest halfbacksthey ever saw. and they have seen agreat many. Hastings, of Pittsburgh,has proven his worth time and again.
High Praise for RodgersKodgers, of West. Virginia, is as good !
a fullback as ever hit ä line. He weighed108 pounds, had plenty of speed andplunged into an opposing line with theimpetus of a six-inch shell. He wasalso a line kicker and forward passer.Against such teams ss Princeton. Rut-gers and Washington and Jefferson,Rodgers gained a total of 799 yards. Hegained 393 yards with passes, 122 yardsin returning kicks and kick-offs and384 yards in rushing the ball fromscrimmage. Rodgers was a second lieu¬tenant of infantry.
Gillo, of Colgate, lacked the versatil¬ity of Rodgers. He neither passed norkicked, but he was ;. terrific linesmasher. When he threw his 190pounds whole heartedly into his spe-:ciulty tho members of the Undertakers'Union u«ed to smile at the thought ofcoming business. With these two full-backs a team could welcome any emer-gen-cyq that arose.
Yes. there may be better men. butwe are satisfied with this All-Serviceteam. It may be that others could pickteams of the same sort that would beatit, but in that case we certainly shouldlike to expend real money to have afront seat at the game.One of the most gratifying things
about picking an All-Service team hasbeen the letters from coaches, manyof theip in the service themselves. Tothe. query, "Which of. your footballplayers were in the service?" manafter man replied, "All of our playerswere in the service." The gridirongame proved its worth. The mimicbattle were productive of tfle spiritthat won a world war.

By A. C. CavagnaroThe novelty of seeing athletes striva
for glory and prizes on an indoor cin¬der track, which will be the only on«of its kind in the world, will be thegood fortune of the followers of thisbranch of sport in this city. Plans forthe erection of the dirt track havebeen approved by the athletic com¬mittee of the 8th Coasi ArtilleryCorps, of the Bronx, which is situatedat West Kingsbridge Road and JeromeAvenue.Work on the track will be begun im¬
mediately in order that it may be.«completed early in May to permit thestaging of a set of games before thefirst, half of the 1920 indoor Beaeonpasses into history. In keeping wit!«,"its big program of improvements, thecommittee intends to install all th«other athletic fixtures that, will makeit possible to conduct all outdoor trackand field competitions in the inclosurc.The athletic committee, whose aim it
is to put the Artillery Corp.* on asstrong an athletic basis hs the best p«'National Guard units in the metropolis,is headed by Colonel V. Austin, ex-offkio; Major C. tí. Webster, chair¬man; Captain John J. Quinn, the one¬time middle distance runner; CaptainT. Schofield, Lieutenant A. Mal'.or andLieutenant R. S. Bishop. Each mem¬ber of the committee is in charge ofdifferent forms of sport, with CaptainQuinn in charge of track and field com¬
petition.The size of the proposed amphi¬
theater will permit the conducting ofmany* sports 8t the same time. Theinclosure will be "00 feet wid? andfifiO feet long, with no obstructionsblocking the view of the .spectators. Inaddition to the 440-yard track, it inplanned to make provisions fo;- a 220-yard straightaway which will also al¬low for the 120-yard high and 220-yardlow hurdle races. The track is to bebuilt sufficiently large to allow theplacing of live hurdles abreast.The pits that prevail outdoors for
the weight throwers and jumpers willbe included in every detail. There- willbe sand pits erected for bot I: the polevaulters and high and broad jumpersand permanent ring.- laid in the dirtfor the weight throwers. After thetrack is given a sound foundation witha fine layer of cinders one foot of leanwill be spread over it. It will thenbe treated chemically to make the tracklightning fast.An idea of the massiveness of the
drill room is gained in the fact thatit will be possible to set up twenty-live lawn tennis courts, four basket¬ball courts, two indoor baseball dia¬monds and a football gridiron. Whilethe balcony surrounding the track canseat only 6,000 persons, provisions caube made^for accommodating 30,000.The arhletic «committee also intends
