PRINCETON. Sept. 12.-Despite tho
u~nfavorable weather conditions the
Tigers held the initial practise of the
season ON university field yesterday
afternoon. Captain Hart, though in
town, was not on the field yesterday
but he is expected to don his toys to-
day, the same being true of Pendleton'
who, has now fully recovered from the
injury to his ankle during the spring
baseball season.
Twenty men reported for practise
and Trainer Fitzpatrick expressed him
self as well satisfied with the condition
of the men on their return. Coaches
Roper and MacGregor took the men in
hand and gave them a long drill in the
fundamentals, much time being de-
voted to passing, falling on the ball
and catching punts.
Among the varsity men to return
yesterday were the following: Brown
and Mclean, tackles; Bluethenthal,
centre; Wight and Sawyer, halfbaoks;
Swain, guard, and Farr, quarterback.
In addition to the regulars, several
men who, due to the one-year eligi-
bility rule, were debarred last year,
as well as many of the scrub" were
on hand.
More players are returning steadily,
so that within a few days the entire
squad will be in town.

members of the new third class at the
disposal of Head Coach Howard foot

other entering class. The best men OF
the main squad will join the squad
when it assemblies September %, and
the balance will make up the squad
which will try for the fourth class
team.
1t is stated positively here on good
authority that November 20 will be
the date of the Army-Nayy football
game. The Navy is meeting the wishes
of the Army in the matter. The Army
always has preferred the Saturday. be-
fore Thanksgiving Day.
Owing to the bad condition of the
field the football practise of the
Ursinus squad was very light yeter-
day morning. After passing the ball
for about an hour, Captain Thompson
took the men for a long stroll along
the Perkiomen, The afternoons work
was of a more strenuous nature.
Thompson, Douthette and Gay punted
to the men for a while, and then
Quarterback West drove the men up
and down the field in a long signal
practise. Holt, Hess, Heller, Paysley
and Schellhamer reported yesterday.

playing on the Polo Grounds one after

our meat, and there seemed small
chance for them to hottie us. In the
ninth they started a last belated rally

and two were dead before they ever
began to do any hitting. The third
man up managed TO work free trans

FOOTBALL SEASON
TO OPEN FRIDAY

Pendleton high school will open its
football season next Friday afternoon
in Walla Walla when its team will
line up against the eleven men repre-
senting Whitman College. This is the
announcement made today by the
manager
While the local boys do not expect
to secure a victory from their heavier
and more experienced opponents, they
think they can make the college play
ers fight for what they get 1t has
been the custom of the high school in
past years to open its schedule with
Whitman, the game proving good
practice for both teams. While there
is some criticism Of thus pitting the
young high school players against
older and heavier men, Coach Lytle
declares it is thoroughly desirable be-
cause the boys learn more about the
game from this contest than from all
of the others and at the same time
are never handled roughly.
The team will leave here on the I
o'clock train Friday morning. The
lineup will not be announced until
later in the week. as the candidates
for several positions have not been
thoroughly tried out yet
