SECRET PRACTICE TO BEGIN
TODAY FOR HILLTOP TEAM

today will be light. from Tuesday to
Friday should see the team undergoing
change which will be a noticeable
Improvement over Saturdays game.
Some ,, excuse can can be made .s for the the
strength has pot been put In the line
up as yet. Many men are on the In
fJured list and others who reported late
are woefully out of condition and will
be subjected to hard work before they
can put forth their best efforts. with
white and Dunn back in shape real
progress In the backfeld will be noticed.
and with due attention to the tackles
whose work Saturday fell far below
the standard set by Hart and Wymard
last year. the team can expect to 60
into the harder games OF the cam
paign without misgivings as to results
in Its favor.
Catholic University opens up its sea-
son on Saturday with Rock Hill Col
lege and the Brooklanders will be
watched with interest The team has
been hard at work under Coach Nc
Dewitt and Is looked upon as having
excellent prospects for this year despite
the rather hard games scheduled. Nc
Dewitt II sure to have a well drilled
competent eleven and II the material
Is up to the standard that Is claimed
Catholic University may have reason
to feel proud of its team.
Barring the work OF Oberlin against
Cornell. which was reasonably to be
expected, the surprise of the football
season 30 far has been sprung by
Washington and Jefferson. The Indians
were held to a scoreless tie despite the
fact that Jim Thorpe had three chances
at a field goal and Washington and JEFF.
ferson, having been beaten By n lucky
drop kick by Eddie Butler in its first
game against Cornell, has done great
work SO far.
Harvard did better against Holy Cross
with an additional weeks practice than
did Yale, and from what can be learned
both teams are working ahead on
schedule for the late season games with
a definite idea and purpose in view.
Princeton had little difficulty with Le-
highs crippled eleven but showed a d.
versity Of attack that seems to indi-
cate that the Tigers have swung across
to the other extreme this season and
instead Of developing the defense has
spent its time on the other department
of the game.
Penn did well enough against Dtckin.
son to warrant the assertion that the
eleven this real Is one which the Red
and Blue can feel proud Of. The back
held Will rank with those of any other
elevens. and the team as a whole shows
great Improvement oyer. that. which
shamed the institution last season.

Good Steeds Figure
At Laurel This Week

The programs for the second week at
Laurel are likely to improve and the
conditions are SO made up that the best
horses will be brought out. With the
big fields of closely matched horses and
with the form OF many not yet dis
closed. the job Of picking winners will
be extra hazardous for some time to
come.
The army race Is an uncertain propo-
sition all around. Kyrat has won a
number of these races. and, as he will
get q good ride. looks as safe as any
thing. Kinnelon and Gus Straus should
go we'll also.
The two-year-old handicap brings out
held Of crackerjack youngsters.
Frederick l.. takes up the top
weight Log pounds. He was con-
sidered the best youngster at Havre
de Grace, and the last time out took
up l23 pounds and won from Cock OF
the Walk ana Palanquin. which ap.
Frederick L. is it. tho extra three
pounds will not stop him. Cock of the
Walk Is classy colt and did. not show
bis best at Havre de Grace, It may be
difference in weight. Both colts. how
ever. will have to be at their best to
beat PNanquaip, which Is on edge
now. barnegat, too, may have q
luok-in.
The fourth race is a classy AFFAIR, and
full Of speed. Shackelton is as fast as
most anything in training now. On his
recent form he seems to have slori-
GUS chance for first money. Altamaha,
which ran third in the Inaugural
Hanicap figures the contender, al
though Donald Mcdonald will be dan
gerous. Azyiade has world Of speed
but the route looks too far for her.
A bunch Of very clever sprtnters will
parade in the fifth race. Sherwood Is
consistent performer, and may &c;
home first here, but he will meet with
plenty Of opposition. Ben Loyal Is
sure to go well. Blue Thistle and Ca
llsse also will be dangerous.
The last event of the day Is opep
and several have a good chance. ri
Orc is At now. and may be the lucky
one. Wolferton figures good for tho
place while Hatteras and Michael An.
gelo may fight 1t out for the show
money.

There is a tendency. slight at pres

accumulated as the season wears on
towards sleeves fuller below the Ell

Perhaps the large cuffs are partly
to blame for this. for one must need
have sleeves to fill them out.
But 1t is difficult to place the latest
sleeves in any one period since many

that is the "leg-of-mutton." for one
