Meehan of the Police Department, was rejected. Mehan, who Is in his second year at Seton Hall College, where he is a star basketball player, presented himself for enlistment at the recruiting station in Market street? Newark, a few days ago, bending low in order to pass through the door, for he is six feet six inches in height. Earl McManus, the officer in charge, nearly jumped out of his chair with surprise and grabbed for an application Mehan is a fine physical specimen, but he is over the maximum height. Bob Elliott, Rutgers' smashing halfback of the past two seasons is meeting with rapid advancement in the United States Navy. He enlisted as a second class seaman a short time after the U.
S. declared hostilities against Germany, and has now been promoted to gunner's mate on a battleship, i Elliott is in the four year term, and even if the war on-European fields terminates abruptly before next fall, he will not- be available for the football team.

Swarthmore's speed-ball pitcher, has also attracted considerable attention. The Phillies and Athletics have been weeping a close watch on Ogden's work for the last two years, and oply a few weeks ago the Cubs sent Jimmy Sheckard, the former outfield star, out to Swarth-mure to take a peep at the big righthander. It just happened that Ogden diidi not pitch that day, but Sheckard liked Jhe looks of Second Baseman AlHo! Cornog. and sent in a strong recommendation for the former Radnor High youth.

The garnet made but two Infield singles off Swigler, and the Cubs' t-cout also put In a word of pratad for him and Johnny White, Ponn's young shorstop. White is only a sophom*ore at Penn, but Coach Thomas, of the varsity, and Doctor Carlss, who tutors the freshmen, consider White one of the most promising shortstops wUo. has ever won the red and blue.

Shortstop Clark, of the Williams team, is also a likely looking Megian. was in town a few days ago says mediately telepraphed to Washington describing his find and asking au he likes the navy. Wednesday lost a thirteen-inning, 2 to 1 game to the Peddle Institute 'team. Blair Academy has one of the best preparatory school teams in the State, having defeated Carlton Academy, which claims the championship. The team is quipped with Marsden, one of the best school boy pitchers In the State.
He will oppose the Rutgers team. He twirled a no-hlt game against Rutgers Prep, and also defeated Delnzer, the local tnr, in a 1 to 0 duel some weeks ago. He has many other notable pitching achievements to hia credit. As Bill Gray will occupy the mound for the local aggregation, a brilliant pitching engagement is anticipated. Gray will undoubtedly become the Rutgers varsity slabblst next season.
He twirled effectively against Brown and Trinity, and against Peddle fanned fifteen men and allowed but live hits In thirteen innings. In practicing a few days ago, he wrenched his back, which handicapped him somewhat in Wednesday's game, but under Jake Besas' treatment the Although the big league scouts have irot hau much of a college territory to cover this year on account of the war Bituaticn, there are more than a score of players in the east that have attracted the attention of the big-time gumshoe men. Johnny Dugan, Holy Cross' sensational second bnseman, was the most-sought-after player, and has been land ed by the Athletics. At least six big league teams tried to snare the hardhitting youth, who is playing his tlrst year of college baseball. The Phillies Cubs, Braves, Red Sox and Pirates were also camping on Dtigan's trail, but It seems that Connie Mck tied the youth up through his father some time ago.
Dugan will finish Ms college career tlrst. Outfielder Wtgglesworth, also of Holy Cross, has been BCouted this eeason. Pitt Pitcher in Demand. Pitcher Iangdon, of the University of Pittsburgh team, Is another collegian in demand. Langdon, who is also captain of the Pitt team, has gned with the St.
Louis Nationals. Several other clubs 'ooked him over, including the Pirates and Phillies. Carlson, captain-elect of the Pitt football team, who plays an inlleld position tin the nine, has been hitting above the 400 mark all season, and looks pood enough for a trial in fast company. Rodgers, the big fullback and star ehortstop of the niversity of Virginia, is understood to have agreed to terms with the Athletics. Rodgers has been one of West Virginia's hardest hitters all season.
He is about six feet tall and weighs 195 pounds. The Athletics recently signed Catcher Connie Murphy, of Dartmouth. Lehigh Ha Two Start. Lehigh has tiyo players who have, attracted the attention of scouts. They Luke Watertleld, the Rutgers varsity baseball pitcher, has also enlisted in the Navy, but has not been called to service as yet.
The reason Luke has not been called, though be passed his physical examinations is due to the fact, it is declared, that the navy has not at present facilities for training more men. This admission wis elicited today in connection with the announcement that the NaVy Department had contracted for land at Chicago, adjoining the naval training station tm Ink thority to enlist him. Later came a reply by wire with the laconic statement: "Impracticable to keep supplied with clothes. Authority not granted." This was from the commandant, and was final. Meehan is, twenty-one years old and weighs 200 pounds, He has passed the examination for the Officers Reserve Corps of the army.
"Stretch" Mehan Is well known in Middlesex County, having played on the South Amboy Riversides last season. He was prevented from completing the season with Seton Hall, as he was charged with playing professional basketball on the side: The suspension came after Rutgers cancelled a game with Seton Hall, though the charge was not preferred by the Rutgers authorities. iiciiuu mo io go oack, and the there.
