HARVARD COACHES OUT
TEAM BEING WHIPPED INTO
FORM BY MANY INSTRUCTORS
Crimson Players Are Now Losing the
Confident Feeling That Weakened
Play in the Early Games-Famous
Old Ones Work With the Eleven.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct 6.-Har-
wards football coaches are beginning
to realize that they have hard task
on their shoulders this year to develop
a team that is going to whip Yale when
the blue and crimson clash in New
Haven in November. In the beginning
of the season the feeling at Harvard
was one of decided confidence. Har-
wards victory on the gridiron last
year; the number, weight and expert
ence of this falls candidates, and the
feeling that always comes after a sue
cessful season that the crimson system
of coaching is superior to Yale's-all
these things had a strong influence in
creating a feeling of cock sureness"
over the outcome of the seasons work.
Undergraduates were ready to bet their
money on Harvard the first week the
men were called out, and throughout
the entire university it seemed to be
an accepted fact that Harvard would
beat Yale this year.
In the last two weeks, however, the
situation has changed. Harvard's poor
showing against Williams brought
Harvard students to their senses with
shock. The team, too, lost the lofty
air OF commence winch naQ character
lied their work during the opening
days Of the season. Coaches began to
flock to Soldiers field. Soft language
and praises were done away with. The
scene changed from confident salts
faction to grim seriousness-se
ness which cropped out in the talk Of
students, the language of coaches and
editorials of appeal and warning in the
daily newspaper of the university.
AT the present time the coaches are
gradually whipping the team into
shape. During the past week no less
than fifteen of them have been on Sol
diers' field each afternoon-a number
which exceeds anything which was
ever known at Harvard before. The
poor showing of the team seems to
have been a call to arms. Coaches
have fiocked to Harvard from all parts
of the country, until today she has two
or three instructors for each Of the
eleven positions on the team. re-
view of these coaches gives some idea
of the Importance which football is
playing in the modern college and the

OPEN BOWLING SEASON
COMMERCIAL LEAGUE TEAMS
PLAY FIRST GAMES
Court House Defeats keefe Davidson
Western Supply Takes Series From
Robinson Cary - Roberts Goss Lose
to KoehIer G. Standardization Rule
Bests Mannheimer Bros.

The season of the recently organized
Commercial Bowling league opened last
night. Games were played by eight
of the sixteen clubs and the attend
ance out indicates that the league is
starting a successful season. The play
last night was on the Yost Pister,
Court and Doris alleys. Tonight the
other eight teams of the league play
their first games.
On the Court alleys the Keefe-Da-
wilson team went down to defeat be-
foure the Court House bowlers. The
law book makers braced in the second
game of the series and pulled even
with the men from the court house,
but the third game went to the court
house team by a large margin.
The Western Supply company team
playing the Robinson Cary team on the
Pfister alleys, took the three games in
a row. Robinson Cary made the first
game of the three close, but after that
the Supply men had things all their
own way.
Roberts Goss got theirs, three in a
row, from the Koehler & Heinrichs
team on the Doris alleys. The Rob-
erts- Goss men rolled in poor form and
the three games were landed easily.
The best games of the night were
rolled by the Golden Rule and Mann
heimer Bros. teams on the Yost al
legs. In this set the players were out
to win. In the first game Golden Rule
rolled total of 756 and Manufacturer
Bros. followed close with 72S. Mann
pies high score, 202, gave Mannheim
er's the second one of the set, but the
Golden Rule players worked hard and
won the third game and the series by
rolling up SIG, against 759 rolled by
the other side. The scores of the games
rolled in the league last night are as
follows:

Shannon was batting at a .S4S clip
when he finished.
During the season the Saints had a
number of men batting in the 300
class. With Shannon, in the 800 divi-

of the regular men and Danny Shay.
Higgins is the first st. Paul player
found below Shannons name. The lit

from the left side and finished at 1928
Phil Geier batted at 800, and Pat Dill

The other regular men batted as fol-
lows: Marcan. 2S3; Ferguson, .2S2;

Though the Indianapolis team car
ried off first honors in the pennant
race not one of Watkins men batted in
the 800 class. The batting averages of
the players of the association are as
follows
