The Caligulan cruelty of John F. Coffey, which finds expression in the arranging of schedules calculated to send James H. Crowley into several swoons each Autumn, has reached what may be termed its acme. Fordham will engage Alabama, Tulane, Pitts­ burgh, Rice, Indiana, St. Mary's and N. Y. U. this year after today's opening skirmish with Waynesburg. Eheu, Mr. Crowley 1

Next Saturday, the Crimson Tide of Alabama, suh, will sweep up the Atlantic coastline, its objective the battlements of Coogan's Bluff. The Rams and the Tide met once before, in 1933, and it was a day of defensive deeds. Amerino Sarno broke through to block one of Dixie Howell's punts and secure a 2-0 triumph for the Bronx. What a game that was! Besides Howell, Frank Thomas had Big Bill Lee, the tackle, and Don Hutson, the end, on his side, to say nothing of Tom Huppke, a hell-for-leather guard and other violent citizens from Tuscaloosa. For the Maroon there were Ed Danowski and Johnny Dell Isola and Frank McDermott and Sarno.

The Tide has been in the Rose Bowl (sic) five times and was trimmed there only once. In the last eight years, with Frank Thomas at the helm, 'Bama has won 64, lost 8 and tied 4. In 1933, '34 and '37, the Tide won the Southeastern Conference title. Before Thomas came to Tuscaloosa in 1931 • Wallace Wade, present Duke mentor, raised the Red Elephants (which they are seldom called) to the gridiron pinnacle.

Reports from the South have it that the Capstone eleven is rated with Tulane and Tennessee as probable leaders for 1939. During the past sixteen years, Alabama teams have won 124, lost 21 and tied 7, so it's not surprising that they be regarded perenially as having plenty to say about Dixie honors. Thirteen lettermen, a crop of capable 1938 reserves and some staunch upcoming freshmen give Thomas plenty to be happy about. Captain Carey Cox, 195 pound center; Ed Hickerson and Cullen Sugg, guards who weigh over two-hundred; three tacklss who weigh 220, 228 and 231 respectively, namely Alternate Captain Walter Merrill, Bobby Wood and Fred Davis; Gene Blackwell, Hal Newman and Hayward Sanford, ends; Charley Boswell and Herky Mosley, left-half­ backs; and Billy Siemens, right-halfback, are the lettermen nucleus. Sanford is the baby whose placement field goals put 'Bama into the Rose Bowl in 1937.

Last year on September 24, Alabama went out to Los Angeles and made a wreck of Southern California, 19-7. This was the Trojan team that later ended up in the Rose Bowl after trimming Notre Dame.- We mention this to show the Tide's penchant for being high in late September or early October. Fordham has never before played an A Number One major game as early as October 7. So the Rams will more than have their hands full the day the Tide comes in.

The following Saturday, October 14, the Rams go way down yonder in New Orleans for a game with Tulane to be played in the Sugar Bowl, the Tulane home field. 55,000 fans are expected to pack the stadium for this first meeting of the Bronx Rams and Lowell (Red) Dawson's Green Wave. They say down there that this is going to be Tulane's year, that the Greenies will have a replica of their undefeated 1931 team that went to the Rose Bowl. Twenty-four lettermen are on hand, led by Bobby Kellogg, the Leonard Eshmont of the Bayous. Last year the Tulane backfield was second only to Fordham's in moving the ball along the ground according to the American Football Statistical Bureau's report. Probably no better backs will be seen on one gridiron at any time this year than when Fordham and Tulane tangle. The heat in New Orleans during October is something to which Fordham will be entirely unaccustomed. Special jerseys of cotton and rayon will be worn by the Rams, and Crowley plans to alternate two teams, but even these precautions are of dubious value in the face of a sweltering heat that comes up out of the ground as well as beating down from above. On October 21, Fordham will not play. Arnica, bandages and other pharmacopoeia will be the order of the day. Then, on October 28, the Pitt Panthers will stalk into Harlem. Charlie Bowser, the new Pitt coach, did a good job during Spring practice, and although the Panthers won't be quite so fearful as of yore, what with Goldberg, Stebbins, Chickerneo and seven other regulars graduated, the Gold and Blue will be more potent than people think. Dick Cassiano, the first Pitt back to ever cross a Fordham goal line, is back and his running mate at right halfback will be Emil Naric, who subbed for Stebbins and tore off a forty yard run around Fordham's right end in the waning seconds of last year's fracas. Ben Kish, letterman senior, will handle the quarterback duties. Edgar Jones, a promising soph, will understudy Cassiano. These four are the best available backs. Bowser needs a good fullback and hasn't found one, yet In the line, Pitt will have Joe Rettinger, Junior letterman, and Frank Dickinson, a senior who found himself in Spring practice, on the flanks; Ted Konetsky, who started against Fordham last year, and Frank Kristufek, senior letterman at the tackles; Harold Klein and Rudy Gradisek, senior and junior lettermen respecively, at the guards, and Dick Fullerton, a senior letterman, at center. This forward wall is experienced and will be no sieve for any team. The Rams have yet to beat Pitt There were the three score­ less ties, of course, and last year's Pitt victory. Crowley's men want this game but they'll have to work to take it, even if Goldberg and Company are among the departed. Pitt could use a passer and some more reserve strength, besides a fullback. Two years ago. Rice Institute, which follows Pitt into the Polo Grounds on Novem­ ber 4, won the Southwestern Conference title behind the running and passing of two sensational sophomores, Ernie Lain and Ollie Cordill. Subsequently the Owls overthrew Colorado and Whizzer White in the Cotton Bowl. Last year, overconfidence and injuries ruined a season that had promised even greater things. Now Lain and Cordill are seniors and the Feathered Flock have fifteen other lettermen returning. They are being rated with Southern Methodist and Texas Christian as tops in the cactus country and the Rams will have their hands full in trying to turn them back, especially if Lain and Cordill regain their true form. Colonel Alvin Nugent McMillin, more readily known as Bo to cowhide devotees around the U. S. had a team at Indiana last year that could do everything but score. The Hoosiers were one of those "tomorrow" elevens. 280,000 people turned out to see them play, always expecting them to turn on the heat Perhaps Bo's boys were waiting for this year. Last year's team was predominantly sophomore and consequently inex­ perienced. This Fall, led by Captain Jim Logan, an outstanding guard; Joe Nicholson, one of the best punters and passers in the Big Ten; Bill Tipmore, 200 pound blocking quarterback and Eddie Herbert, 190 pound line-cracking fullback, the Hoosiers are the dark-horse team of the Conference. November 11 will produce no Armistice in the Polo Grounds.

The Galloping Gaels of St. Marv's due to ride into the Polo Grounds the following week, November 18, climbed back towards the peak last year. Led by Jimmy McPart- land and Ed Heffernan, potent left-halfbacks; Jerry Dowd, the great punting center, and a strong tackle in Nick Katzmeyer, the Moragans pushed California and Fordham to the limit before bowing out, handed Santa Clara the Broncos' first defeat in nineteen games and ran roughshod over Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl. Although Klotovich, floored by the faculty, is out of school and Cantwell will be out for the season as the result of a broken leg suffered in a motorcycle accident last month, Slip Madigan is expecting big things. Herb Smith, the high-scoring fullback, is also available again. Andy Marefos, another line-pounding back, is highly touted. Madigan is set and may bring an undefeated team into New York. Doctor Mai Stevens has a hard schedule at N. Y. U. and not too much in the way of material to go through it. Big Ed Boell, as good a passer as you'll find, is on hand again, however, and so are Stan Mikulka and Bill Galu, both capable backs. Joe Frank, 190 pound flash, is the best of the sophomore backs. Jim Conlin, stalwart senior center; Bill Helmcke, smart running guard; and Alex Campanis, rangy wingman, will form the nucleus of the line. Look for the cagey Doctor to give the Maroon a tough afternoon. COMPLIMENTS
