Football Men to
Train in Maine,

Boston. Aug. 26-The Harvard foot
ball squad will take two weeks for
preliminary work at Fraziers Island,
near StGnington. DR.. S. II Rlodgett "a
was in Boston Thursday to make final
arrangements for the entertainment Of
TIE members of the squad. who will be
his guests during their preliminary
practice.
He stated that about 35 players will
leave Boston Sept | for Stonington
the nearest large town to his camp.
They will be followed on the next day
by seven or eight coaches and Sept 3
by two or three others. The practice
on the island will last two weeks.
This first hardening of the princi
pal candidates for the team is not in
any way under the auspices of the
Harvard athletic committee. which
does not assume responsibility until
Sept 10 IT is in continuation of the
custom of previous years. in accord
ance with which the Cantain of the
team has usually entertained some of
the veterans and most promising
players at his summer hCme This
year it happened that Capt. whiting
ton is resident of Honolulu and that
it would obviously be inconvenent for
the players to go that distance for
their first practice and that Dr. Rlod-
gett two of whose sons We're members
respectively of the first and second
squads last fan. and are candidates
for positions this year. WAS able to
offer the use of the camp on Fraziers
island
incidentally. and without any ar
rangement on the part of the athletic
committee. DR.. R!odgett has been ask
ed by Coach Haughton to make a lit :
tie study of the best methods. from the
physicians standpoint. of beginning
the physical training. Every year
when the men begin practice a number
of them are laid up for several days
with intestinal troubles. The idea is
this year to start off with i diet and
see if better results will not be reach
ed
it is expected that the work at
Frazier's Island will consist of light
football practice for about two hours
in the morning. with baseball tennis,
swimming and other sports in the af-
ternoon Most of the coaches will re-
turn the dav after Labor day.

RAMSDELL'S ENGLISH RACES.
Maccabe Of East Boston Says He Will
Have to Make Explanation.

Tex Ramsdell. the U. of P. flyer. will
have some things to explain to the A A.
L. officials when he returns to this coun-
try. according to Joseph B Maccabe of
East Boston. a former president of that
body.
Mr. Maccabe has just returned from a
threemonths trip to England and. while
his visit primarily was one of pleasure
he managed to keep a watchful eye on
the athletes. especially the American ath-
letes. during his stay on the other side.
"Ramsdell has been racing at frequent
intervals with Walker. the South Afri-
can sprinter.' says Maccabe. despite the
printed statements to the effect that the
English amateur governing body had re-
fused to sanction races between these
men.
II have In my possession good deal
of evidence about Ramsdell's races in
England and l shall present it at the
proper time. The A. A. L. officials are
making no charges, but they very prop
erly will demand Ramsdell to give a full
accounting of his trip abroad, OF course
nothing can be done about Walker. He
Is outside our jurisdiction"
Mr.. Maccabe eulogized the English spir-
it of fair play. which he said was real
and not just talked about The more
intelligent of the athletic followers in
England deplore such incidents as the
Carpenter Halswelle quite as much as we
do. and are looking forward to the time
when the athletic governing bodies of
the United States and England will get
tOgeth and establish sound. nr9Ctj-
cal basis for international competitions. .
