The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1905-09-12

As the cooler weather sets in the sport
loving public with the colleges and uni
vcrsities OF the country are planning for
fall and winter sports, chief OF which is
football.
Like other institutions. Brown. too. has
already begun preparations for the
autumn campaign. At the close OF last
season Coach Robinson cecided to get an
earlier start than usual this fall and as a
result the candidates for this years
Varsity have been notified to report a
week before college opens.
Last falls policy as to maintaining a
strong second eleven throughout the en-
tire season is TO be followed more than
ever during the next few months. Man
ager Parkhurst intends 10 treat the scrub
with almost as much consideration as the
Varsity men. The secon. e;even has al
ready a manager and a schedule with
many strong preparatory school teams
has been arranged. The scrub is to have
the benefit Of a training table as well as
the members OF the Varsity. on all OF
the trips a larger squad is TO be taken.
in this way the coaches hope 10 keep
together a second eleven which will be a
powerful factor I'm the development ana

Although the season is several weeks
off, the coaches and managers are opti-
mistic asst 10 the team that Brown Is 10

should materially aid him. From presen,
indications Brown Is 20 be weak In the

player and one Of last falls guards, may
be used 10 pass the pigskin. Schwartz
and Rackle can be relied upon as quartr,-
backs. So many different men were
tried In the back field that the same trio
very seldom found themselves side by side
in two successive games. As a result
OF this constant changing, there was

son Of Colgate are expected 10 make
strong bids for back-held positions.
The method OF training and the whip

shape will be much the same as employed
BY Coach Robinson last fall with this
diNerence-that1 the work is 10 commence
earlier. During the first week no hard
work will he undertaken unless the
weather should be cooler than is Gus

are expected TO report every afternoon,

means Of preparing the varsity for the
first game. the contest with New Hamp-
shire state college on Sept. 80. The train
ing table is to be established about that
time.
The schedule for the season of 1905 has
been arranged for the sole purpose Of
bringing the eleven to its height Of de-
velopment during the week Of the Dart
mouth game. with this object in view,
three very easy games were scheduled
NJ the opening Of the season. Harder
contests then follow until the supreme
test at the finish. After the Colby and
Maine games Brown is TO line up against
Pennsy. Harvard Syracuse and Yale.
The players will then be given a couple
Of weeks rest. playing a comparatively
sasy game during the fortnight. The last
and biggest game, IA usual. Is with Dart
mouth. The contest could not be pulled
OFF at Boston. because Of the Yale-Har-
ward game. Springfield Is to be the scene
OF this years struggle. and the field Will
&c the same as used by Harvard and
Hale I'm past years. II IL Disappointing
