WORK STARTS FOR
BLUE AND GRAY
Eleven Huskies Respond to a
Late Call for Gridiron
Candidates.

Coach Bill Newman of the Blue anC
Gray foot ball team was out on the
heights yesterday starting the men train
ing FOR the season. and consulting with
Manager Murray over the new material
for the eleven. Owing to the late arrival
of both gentlemen. the call for cand1-
dates was not posted until nearly noon.
and hence there were only eleven men
out in suits. Many more, however. left
word at the headquarters In Ryan gym
nasum that they would be on hand to-
day. and hence 1t Is expected that a
squad of twenty-five will Immediately
start to work. The practice yesterday
was typically a Newman one. as those
out were given plenty Of exercise. and all
were pretty we'll tagged out when the
Cornellian sent them to the gym

Capt. Lowney Coming.
Capt Lowney has sent word that he
will arrive Wednesday. on which day it
is also believed McNulty will report. Sit
terding, Stuart, Wymard, Stohlman, Par
sons and Feenan are among those who
will show up today. 1t Is also expected
that Menefee. the local lad who made
such record at Central last season.
will put in an appearance at the begin
ming of this afternoons work.
Although Coach Newman was not able
to get much of line on the prospects
in so short time, yet he did not hesitate
bit TO say that the 1909 aggregation
would far surpass its immediate predeces-
sor. His reason for 50 thinking Is an OBJ
vious one. and can best be expressed In
his own words. He said in part: The
new material Is of such size and repute
that from It should handily be able to
fill holes made by the graduation or re-
enough good men from last falls squad
TO form a heavy line. while Capt. Low
ney and Carter arc certainly two capable
ends. Stuar. and Sftterding Will easily
keep the quarterback Job out of trouble,
while McNulty should be able to reoeat
his previous excellent work in one of the
halfback berths. With Waldron. Vfymen.
Menefee and the rest OF last years subs
trying for back-fleld places, should have
little trouble selecting another half and
a fullback. As three Of these, Wymard.
McQuail and Waldron. are excellent
punters. I am Of the opinion that We are
very much strengthened in that direction.
Considering these men at their known
value and knowing that the opening of
the professional schools will greatly en-
large the squad, I am confident that the
end Of this season will prove that I am
not far wrong when I say that 1 not
think the team will be stronger than
last years, but will be Of such a class
that among our laurels we shall number,
the tokens of a victory over Virginia"
