capped. In the university are two broth
ers, Alec and Ed Thayer. who can kick
better than any Pennsylvania man since
Marshall Reynolds. Ed Thayer played on
lost years freshman team, but he seems
too young, light and inexperienced for a
varsity man. Alec has not played foot
ball since coming to Pennsylvania.
Cornelrs foot ball practice will begin at
Percy Field on September 20. and the first
game will be played on October 2.
A greater effort than ever before has
been made by the field committee to pro-
vide for the presence during the season
of a numerous staff OF graduate coaches.
It is expected to have Daniel A. Reed, '9s,
at Percy Field through the season. Reed
was one of the strongest of Cornell guards
and he has been one of the most effective
of Cornell's line coaches since his gradu-
alton. The permanent coaching staff this
season will include p. e. Larkin, @. H.
Valdez and B. ]. O'Rourke. Larkln will,
as last year, give special instruction to the
ends. Valdez, captain of last years
eleven and all-American fullback, will
have charge of the backs. o'Rourke, with
his experience at tackle, will round out the
staff.

This Michigan shows no disposition to DO,
although the Wolverines rave stolen a
march on the rulers of tho conference by
arranging a game with the University Of
Minnesota. The rulers of the conference
thought a few years ago that they had
completely ostracised Michigan from the
west when the Michigan delegates refused
TO swallow some OF the foolish legislation
worked out by the conference professors
during those lays of hysteria four years
ago. But this year Michigan has secured
a game with Minnesota. Otherwise the
conference colleges still consist of Chicago,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Purdue,
Iowa and Northwestern. There ave been
several efforts on the part of Nebraska TO
take the place vacated by Minnesota. But
Nebraska is not yet ready to subscribe to
all the eligibility requirements in the con-
ference code and be still a free lance in
western foot ball.
There will be even more Intersections
foot ball than there was last year. The
University Of Pennsylvania and Michigan
meet for the fourth time. while Chicago
and Cornell play their second annual game,
this time at Ithaca. Michigan and SYRIA
cuseF also play again, their game taking
place at Ann Arbor. Another unusual in
tersectional game scheduled is that be-
tween Illinois and Syracuse in the latter's
stadium.
On the Pacific coast American college
Rugby is confined almost entirely to Oregon
and Washington. with a few teams in the
states adjoining them on the east. The
elimination of the game at Leland Stan
ford and the University of California has
almost killed Rugby foot ball in this coast
state. Its place has been taken by asso,
citation foot ball.

Coach Kennedy will have seven TX" men
Of last season to start training with to-
morrow afternoon. The other five men are
Carlson, the powerful Swede center; Pleas
ant, johnson, Bond and II. Wood, all fast
players. These seven veterans will form
an excellent nucleus for a strong eleven.
Pleasant seems certain of an end post;
Caldwell can take the other wing, IL he
likes, but II he is more valuable at some
other position, the speedy Spear will be
given the end station.
The Terrible Swede," Carlson, has the
center job clinched. In him Coach Kennedy
has one of the best rushes in the west and
a man who will be a powerful factor in the
game with Nebraska.
Jay Bond. who last season played a
w%hirlwind game at half, in the Nebraska
game, ripping up the Cornhuskers' de-
Tense for great gains, is a fixture for half
again this fall.
But the rest OF the back field is In doubt
yet, excepting quarter, where that lengthy
johnson, who made two spectacular runs
in the Nebraska game, is likely to play
again. Fisk, who was a strong competitor
Of Bonds last year. will be good material
for a half.
In the line Reed. the great guard, will
be absent, but Coach Kennedy has three
2OO-pound boys to fill 1t. These are David
son, Maxwell and Smith. They all appear
to be first-class players, and Coach Ken
nedy is not worrying about their work.
Ford VIII Try for Half.
Among the other material Frank Ford,
who played sub-end last season, will make
a hard fight for a halfback position. He
tried out for the varsity last fall and did
not make 1t as a regular member, al
though he showed remarkable ability. HI
has had a great deal of foot ball experience
and should be a valuable man for Ken
nedy.
Harold Lee of Wichita and Bower, q
Columbia mod youngster, are two prom
Using players who will try for backfleld
posts. They both have great foot ball
ability.
John Lovett Of ottawa is considered a
mighty good man for fullback and will be
a strong candidate for that job.
AS substitute for johnson at quarter,
Kennedy will nave Pete Hill, a freshman
OF last year. who is rated as a fast quar-
ter.
Many Of the candidates have returned to
Lawrence and will be ready to start train
ing Monday afternoon.
Nebraska's practice season will not open
until a week from Tuesday. that being the
day set by Coach King" Cole for all can.

IOWA PRACTICE BEGINS EARLY
Twenty-Five mbe of Foot Ball
SQUAD 10 Report In Week.

Twenty-Five Members of Foot ball
squad to Report in Week.
IOWA CITY, Ia, Sept. n.-(Speciai.)-
twenty-five members of the foot ball squad
have written Coach Griffith that he may
expect them here by the end Of next week
to report for practice. The official curtain
will not rise on the athletic field until the
Monday following, but the assurances are
very gratefully received. as the feeling is
growing stronger that Iowa must do the
unusual this year in the production of a
team to meet Minnesota October Z.
There is considerable speculation as to
what style OF play will be adopted by the
Iowa coach this fall. Upon this point he is
decidedly reticent. The open game has not
been mastered by the Hawkeyes, who tried
1t with only intermittent success under
Catlin's instructions last fall. Griffith has
never coached this style OF play and his
own foot ball achievements were made with
a team remarkable for gaining ground on
straight foot ball. Hyland, end, is a very
clever receiver of a forward pass and should
some Of the others develop the other part
of the combination the Hawkeyes might
make this a strong feature.
The line is likely to be of Just an average
size. The end positions will be held by the
veteran Hyland and a mate TO be chosen
from a likely group in which appears AL
derman, captain Of the freshman track
team last spring and all-round champion
weight man. Captain Gross will be as
sisted at tackle by Hull and Slaughter,
both from the freshmen team. one OF the
guard positions is likely TO go TO Hazard,
two years on the regular team, and a quar-
tet Of freshmen will contest for the other
one. Comfy, last years center, will be
back. Comfy is not a heavy center, but he
is quick and stout and he will harmonic
well with the rest OF this years line. Steve
O'Brien is another candidate who Is rounder
and more on the usual order as regards
build for the center position. Johnson, who
has played this same position some in the
past, is also to be back.
Quarterback Stewart is likely to get the
bulk Of the generalship. but Duyer, sub
last year; Fee, regular half, and Collins, all
OFFER opportunities TO shift the responsible
lily. The prime feature about the problem
OF the Hawkeyes is TO develop a team from
material lacking, perhaps, in individual
stars, but comprising men Of experience
and hardened to the game. Can the new
coach do it7 is the question at Iowa this
fall. The alumni believe he can ana 9 re-

Minnesota is not the only hard game
Nebraska will have on it's schedule this

Kansas. Iowa and Denver-but Of this trio
and in fact Of the entire schedule of eight
R~ames-there is one which the Cornhuskers

Sterlings from the University of Kansas
the greatest rival Nebraska has and the
one that causes 1t the most worry.
The game with the Jayhawkers is sched-
uIed for November 8 at Lincoln, that date
being one week after the Iowa game is
booked for Lincoln. This game, always
the most important on the Nebraska sched-
ule. is this season ranked as the premier

men at Lincoln, 20 TO 0, and In doing so
threw the Cornhuskers out OF what seemed
a certain hold on the pennant and gave
themselves clear sailing FOR the title.
The defeat last year was so unexpected
and so crushing that the Cornhusker
season this fall will be considered a failure

the outcome Of the other important games
on the schedule may be.

With the C~ornhuskers this year the word
is. we must beat Kansas In past years
II has been the cry in games against Kan
sas. Colorado and Minnesota, but never
has It meant so much as this year, when
the C~ornhuskers are stil smarting under
the bitter sting OF last falls crushing set
back. Among all the candidates for the
eleven and among the students there is a
unanimous feeling that Nebraska's repu-
tation in western foot ball can be
kent upon the high plane II has run on
for many years only by winning the cham
pionship OF the valley and RELOCATING Kan
sas back to second place. All this can be
accomplished by defeating the J~ayhawkers
this fall.
But Il is going to be no easy job for
King Coles men TO do this. Kansas Is
likely to have a machine fully as power
ful as the 1908 steam roller. While the
C~ornhuskers are trying to figure out q

for the Jhyhawkers.


LAWRENCE. Kan, Sept. n.-(special)-
On Wednesday, September 10, Coach
Bert Kennedy of the Kansas university
foot ball team will put his team of grid
iron warriors into preliminary practice for
a heavy seasons work. The coach realizes
that all the Missouri Valley conference
schools are laying especially for Kansas
this year and la recognizes it will be diff
ficult to repeat the ever-victorious per-
Torrance OF last year.
OF the fifteen "K' men of last year only
seven are out for the team this year.
These are Captain Pleasant, end; Caldwell,
tackle; Carlson, center; Wood. guard;
Johnson. quarter; Bond, half, and Stephen
son, fullback. over fifty men. including
many Of last years freshmen team. are out
for tho vacancies on the eleven. and pros
poets are bright for a strong team.
The hardest games on the Kansas sched-
ule this year are the contests with Ne
brsska and Missouri. The Cornhuskers,
after their unexpected defeat at the hands
of the J~ayhawkers, are out for sweet re-
venge. and Coaches Kennedy and Mosse
Tin keep something in reserve TO turn
loose on the Nebraskans. Kansas has
been fortunate in winning on the home
grounds Of the Nebraska team, and the
contest between the two rivals is scheduled
for Lincoln again this year.
The Kansas university team plays nine
games this fan, the majority of which will
be staged in Lawrence. The revised seized

NEW YORK, Sept. 1A-with one col
lege already having started it's early foot
ball season practice, the other institutions
are now beginning to size up their prob

out good teams for the approaching sea-
son. The George Washington university
has started work and from now on all
the other colleges will begin to make pre-

so. they may be seen in sundry places

The new rule of the faculty permitting
