DRILLS INTERFERE
WITH PRACTICE Of
WEST POINT TEAM
No Scrimmage Held, But
Long Punting Perform
ance Is Given.

WEST POINT. N. Y. Sept 29.-Drlls
occupied much of the time yesterday
and 1t was not until $50 that parade
was over and the men reported on the
field. There was no scrl:nnaSlng but
the coaches kept the men al catching
punts and handling the bail during the
short practice.
Cook. who showed up strong last year
at end, is running down punts well,
and Gillespie. another candidate for an
end position, is showing speed. Har-
mon, a new man, looks likely one to
help Hyatt take care OF the quarterback
position. He catches punts well and is
fast. He also has the knack of shak-
ing or tacklers and getting down
through a broken field for long gains
in running back punts.
Salisbury, another new man, is likely
varsity material and under instruction
Is developing into a punter. Walmsley,
who has just recovered from a sprain
received in the riding academy. got
into the practice today at his old place
at guard during the signal practice.
Other strong candidates for line places
are Huston, who substituted last sea
son at guard, and Englehart. Both Of
these men weigh 1S pounds.

Princeton Eleven Has
First Real Practice

PRINCETON, n. j., Sept 29.-The
Tigers had their first real lineup and
scrimmage yesterday. Penfield kicked
off for the varsity to the scrub goal line
and got the ball again on the return put
I'm ruidheld. They plowed up the scrubs
for about forty yards and a touchdown.
The offense of the first string men was
strong, but the defense was very ragged
and unsatisfactory. The scrubs turned
the tables on them and scored a touch
down from their own 40-yard line. Line
plays were used to do the trick.
Tackling was permitted for the first
time. In the preliminary work every
man was given a try at tackling the
dummy and falling on the ball. The
punters were put through a long drill
while the line men ran down under
punts and the backfield men run them
back. There was lots of vim in the
practice.
After the regular scrimmage the scrub
lined up on their 20-yard line and Pen
field, Baker, and Sawyer were given a
try at kicking drops under the direction
of Coach Cunningham. Their kicking
was fair. but the line did not hold the
scrub and most of the tries were
blocked.
Fitzpatrick put the centers through a
long drill in the preliminary practice.
The team lined up: Left end, Dunlap;
left tackle, Phillips; left guard. Wilson;
center. Bluethenthal: RICH guard, Nc
Lean; right tackle, Mccormick; right
end. Wight; left half, Dewitt, Baker;
right half. Sawyer; full, Penfield; quar-

H|LDRETH STABLE
HAS THE LARGEST
ENTRY FOR LAUREL
Will Send Most Of Its Nomi-
nations To The
Post.

LAUREL, Nd, Sept. 29.-The entry
list Of the ten stakes TO be run at the
coming meeting of the Maryland State
Fair Association, shows that the best
horses now in training are named. The
Hildreth stable is the largest nominator,
and the majority Of the nominations
will go to the post. These horses will
arrive at Laurel today some time, and
will include Novelty, Shannon, Zeus.
Restigouche, and Dinna Ken. These
horses have been kept going since their
return to New York from the Canadian
tracks, and will come to Laurel in the
best possible racing condition.
Novelty always was a better colt
later in the year than In the early sum-
mer, 50 that he will show better per-
Torrance at the fall meetings than at
those on the Canadian tracks. The
others in the string are just as fit and
will make their first appearance in the
Inaugural Handicap on opening day.
The Keene horses are now at the
course, and will figure in some of the
events on Monday. Hilarious Is the one
from this stable which is most literally
entered in the stakes. He has not
started in long time, and will have
the advantage of being fresh. When at
his best, Hilarious is a hard horse to
beat. There are three likely two-year-
ODDS in this stable. ]. W. May arrived
with his string from Lexington, KY,
yesterday morning. Included in the
car were the horses of Frederick John
son, which are trained by May. These
are also among the stake entries, Miss
Wigs and Light o. NJ Life being more
literally named than any Of the others.
Countless, owned by John G. Greener,
came along with the lot.
The horses owned by Thomas C. Nc
DowelI were given their first workout
over the track yesterday morning. The
Manager is as grand a looking colt as
there is in racing condition at the
present time.

all last season, for yesterday before the
squad reported he had Greer, Campazzt.
and Moriarity practicing starts ard in

will be of greater interest to the At

Land and Irrigation exposition to be held
in New York city Nov. to IL.
Seven millions of people living on and
near Manhattan Island are to have their
first opportunity to witness an exhibit of
the products and resources of the soil.
Incredible as it may seem to the rural
dweller, there are hundreds of thousands
of citizens of New York and adjacent

Of the agricultural resources of the
states that support them nor of the OPP

and independent livelihood from the soil.
Here in the port of entry for a million
immigrants yearly, a large percentage of
whom are seeking land, there is and has
been no exhibit of the agricultural wealth
and possibilities of the nation to stimu-

$1,000.
Prizes for the best displays of oats,

offered also.
The judges appointed to award these

probable that some of the judges will be
selected from experts in the department
of agriculture at Washington.
A compelling magnet will be the giving
away daily to visitors by popular allot-
ment of farm, orchard, irrigated tract
or grain land in various parts of the
United States. Free gifts of this kind
have never been offered in New York or
the East, and this will prove great at

acres of grain land in Montana donated

near Roswell, New Mexico, given by the
Western Irrigated Land and Orchard
company of New York city, and fine

The Louvre dates away back to the
reign of Dagobert in 62S. In 1904 it
was a prison and in 1864 was made
into library. The new building was
begun by Francis l. in 1923 and en-
larged and adorned by successive
kings. principally by Louis XIV. But
it was Napoleon l. who gave the
Louvre its real glory. Turning it into
museum Napoleon deposited in it
the finest collection of paintings, stat
ues and art treasures known in the
world. The magnificent buildings of
the new Louvre were begun by NapO-

The system counts longitude from

Should we disclose the planner ana

Or fail-and then return to earth and

Shut fast within it's narrow cranial

THE OLD SANTA FEE TRAIL.

It wound through strange, SCARED hills,
down canyons lone,
Where wild things screamed, with
winds for company.
Its milestones were the bones of pio-
neers,
Bronzed, haggard men, often with
thirst amoan,
Lashed on their beasts of burden to-
ward the sea.
An epic quest 1T was of elder years,
For tabled gardens or for good red
The s trail men strove in iron days of
Old
Today the steam god thunders through
the vast,
While dominating SaXons from the hur-
Ting trains
Smile at the aliens, Mexican, Indian
Who offer wares, keen colored, like
their past.
Dread dramas of immitigable plains
Rebuke the softness of the modern
No menace, now the deserts mood OF
Still ST Westward lies green and golden
land.
For at the magic touch of water blooms
The Wilderness, and where of yore the
yoke
Tortured the toilers into dateless
Lo brightsome fruits to feed a mighty
folk!
