It was the forceful Hempstead mentor who stood be- fore a crowded meeting of the Long Island officials' group last night at Rockville Centre and convinced the gathering of the fatalistic import of the proposed revisions. Joe was wt his best, although his issue was so well defined that it «really didn't require much eloquence to put it across. ; In pointed reference to the proposal of the state re- gents board to limit all scholastic football schedules to no more than seven games, and with a few subtle remarks concerning the possibility of inaugurating six man foot- ball teams, Fay told the officials that the \statistics\ al- legedly uncovered to support the proposed changes were based on illogical facts. Facts Contradict Theories \The contention of those who offer to change our present set-up, is not based on any experiences of Nassau coaches,\ Fay declared. \I have found through experience, as have a number of other Nassau coaches, that there is no basis for the charge that schoolboy football players suffer from exhaustion and are open to injuries in the seventh, eighth or for that matter, ninth games of the season. \Records will show that players are more susceptible to injuries during the early season, rather than in late games. Foot- ball players are invariably better able to stand up under punish~ ment in late season games for the reason that they are better equipped physically and more finely trained.\ Fay also attacked the new age limit rule which will re- strict from competition all players over 19 years of age. He a very deliberate and forceful case against this which seemed to me to be one of the best polrts out during the meeting. © said he was not directly advocating any rule that might limit did bring out several important items seem to bear out his contention. He explained that true that most high school students are graduated ages of 16 and 18, well within the new age limit, those with a leaning towards a football career in college, suffer definite handicap. - A Point Well Taken While it has been prevelant for some years now, I doubt that high schools and colleges have ever given this particular it was As Fay explained it, college football coaches don't give «much consideration to the football player who graduates from ; high school at 17. As a senior, that same player will barely have reached his majority and more likely that not, will be passed up the rush to turn out*winning football teams. Fay said that of the better college football players averaged between 23 24, as the result of having spent a year or so in prep school. follows then, according to Joe's theory, that the modern school athlete who graduates at 17 or 18, must, if he's the grade as a college athlete, devote a couple of years school athletics-not because his scholastic work re- more polished performers who now clutter our so-called institutions of higher learning.

That question is puzzling the other five clubs in the circuit to- day, but the answer seems to be -until November 28, when the co- leaders face one another again to settle that 19-19 first balf tie. The vamps and the Black and White defending champions romp- ed through the first half without much difficulty, and their show- ings on Sunday indicate that they will not slacken their stride for the next few weeks. As a result, there is little hope that any other team, even the defensively power- ful Western Front eleven, can break up the two team race. Westbury, held to a 6-0 decision in its first meeting with Manhas- set, used everything in the book as it routed the Red Birds by 32-0. The air attack, with Kilbride and Galvin tossing, continued to click while the hard running of Bob Callaghn brought the ground at- tack to its highest efficiency of the season.

The Red Birds are under the tutelage of Bill Halton, another former Tiger ace, who is one of LeRoy Mills's star punting pupils. Halton's squad features the single and double wing formations in the backfield. Since taking over the reins of the club from Art Schiebel, the Cardinals have im- proved their play considerably in the American Professional Foot- ball association race. They are also the defending Westchester county pro cham- pions against two other APFA clubs, the New Rochelle Bulldogs and the White Plains Bears. King and Kaufman are versa- tile backs, the former running and passing, and the latter punt- ing, passing and running. Supple- menting these two in the backfield will be Billy Martin and Angelo Carideo, younger brother of the famous Frank Carideo of Notre Dame. The younger Carideo played at the University of Missouri, this being his first pro start.

The Sea Side city organization has rounded up the leading play- ers from the Beach area, all but one of whom have played with Long Beach high school in years gone by. The nucleus of the team will be formed by three of the out- standing members of the Wonder Five, - scholastic . team, - Oscar \Ozzie\ Schaefer, George Walsh and Kenneth Ehlers. The Blue and White scholastic quintet rolled up an impressive victory string of 31 games before bowing, finishing one season . without a new“ against opposition from all p of the island. Since leaving school all three players have been active on col- lege and independent rosters. Ehlers spent a year at St. Thomas in Scranton and last season played with the Long Island university Walsh played frosh basketball at St. John's in Brooklyn and for two years was a member of the varsity squad. Schaefer, still a student at George Washington in New York city, played with the Beach club in the Nassau Amateur circuit last season. Others who will see action with the Beach team are Dane Her- manson, one of the finest pivot men in the history of the schook Irving Goldberg and Sam Santy, Santay is one of the physical in- structors at the Sea Side school and saw action with the Gibson Athletic club last winter. The Jamaica quintet has already opened its season and will come to Nassau with an impressive early season record of victories. Well ac- quainted with Sea Side city fans, because of Hr several appearances a year ago, it promises to put up a keen struggle against the home forces.
