The deaths are caused, as far as can

PSni-sylyania'S Team to Report for
Practice on Sept. 12.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 9.-The varsity
football team and candidates will not leave
town this fall for preliminary practice.
This Is in accordance with the agreement
made with Harvard last year for no pre-
liminary work. About September H. how
ever. the team and candidates will start
practice on Franklin Field In order to get
into trim for the opening game with Frank
lin and Marshall on September 20. About
this time the training house will be opened
and the training table started. The men of
last years team who will not be back are
Carnett at tackle, Hedges and Folwell,
two Of the best ends Pennsylvania ever had;
Sam Walker. full back. and Charlie Har-
rison, substitute half back.
Among the candidates for this year 3
team are fourteen OF the sixteen men OF
last years scrub. the most promising OF
whom are Merriam, end: Kennedy, quar-
ter; Wallace. guard: Smith, half back; and
several others Fleckwir OF last years
champion crew expects to play football this
fall and may prove a valuable man. or
the freshmen in the college department, the
most promising are Schock of the William
Penn Charter School. and Tuigley of Ger
mantown Academy. Pennsylvania seems to
have a particularly good assortment OF
football men to pick her team from this
fall. which team George Woodruff, Penn
sylvanias famous coach, feels confident will
carry off all honors.
Last years rules will probably remain in
tact during the coming season, with the
exception of the correction of several typo
graphical errors. Mr.. Camp has written to
each member of the committee who drew
up last years rules. to notify him Of
the corrections about to be made in this
years edition.

THREE COACHERs FOR CORNELL.
Princeton, Harvard and Cornell systsms
May Mix Things up.

Football affairs at Cornell University are not
running as smoothly us they might. Students
and graduates attribute this state OF things
largely to the fact that there are two commit
tees which are dabbling into Rridron matters
While there has been no real clash as yet
every one interested feels that there will be
mix up before the season is fairly started. A
former captain OF the Cornell team who is in
this city for few days. explained the trouble
to reporter OF THE SUN Yesterday, He said
1.-THE Cornell football committee Is imposed
OF Prof l.. NJ. Dennis Captain Starbuok and
Manager Porter. Prof. Dennis is abroad on a
years leave OF absence. His place is being
filed by Prof. H. w Huffcut. who knows
comparatively little about the game and am
afraid has. during Prof. Dennis's absence
hurt rather than furthered 'the football
interests OF Cornell. At any rate 1t was decided
to have another committee. This is composed
Of graduates who are to be in charge OF the
coaching. Tho mon who form this second
committee are: Ex-Capt. Wycoff OF the D6
team Tracy. end rush in ~. and Mason. half
back Of "a. This committee has selected the
coaching talent for this year and has decided
upon these men Barnard. the Princeton half
back. to be head coach: Dan Reed. the Cornell
guard Of '0S and previous years. and W. H.
lie wis, the noted Harvard centre rush.
Now. aside from the fact that these two
| committees are almost sure to be at logger
| heads before the season is fairly under way.
| there remains among the graduates and stu
dents the feeling that Cornell has departed
| from its stated policy Of only employing Cornell
! graduates to coach the team, We could have
| re-enRaged Warner who coached the team so
well last fall but he was sidetracEed by Prof
! Hufrcut and accepted an, offer to take charge
| OF the Carlisle Indians. Then the second com
mittee steps in and employs three coachers
from three different colleges. You can imagine
the result Barnard, the head coach, has been
| brought up in the Princeton school, He Will
| want to drill the men as he was drilled at Old
| pr a
kind he knows Then comes Lewis OF HAr-
gridiron. in my opinion. He. Of course, will
| waRt to show the Cornell men how they Etn
| to Barnard and cannot have his say.
70 Wind up he coaching M talent LEM there
But he is Cornell man and has been tapaht 70
play the Cornell game. He will have ideas &C
| variance with his confreres and the result 10
likely to be a mix up. OF course We all hope
| for the best but things arc not too rosy at Cor
nell this year. so far as football is-concerned."
