ARRAS WILL COACH TEAM
Former Star Player at Kendall
Green Institution to Be Physi-
cal Director Also.

Ihlrty-six men answered the call for
gridiron candidates at Gallaudet College.
This number is very large for a college
OF Gallaudet's size; 1t is only an indica-
ton of the enthusiasm the student at the
east side college have in the great
sport. All Of the members Of the 1911
team, not counting those who graduated
In June or have not yet returned, are
included In the list. These men are

in June were truly great players, but
from the freshman class capable men
can be picked to fill their places. There
is one strapping youngster whom loyal
rooters of Gallaudet will not see in uni
form this year. tie is Roller, a member
of the last years team. He played full
back, and his work made a deep impress
sion on all who saw him play. 1t was
learned only yesterday that work on a
ranch in Montana would detain him at
home this year. This fullback's services
will be missed. OF the new men. Mar
shall and Cuscaden have given the best
impression SO far. Both hail from the
far west. and have had past experience
on the gridirOn.
The squad had light practice Thursday
and Friday afternoons. The captain was
pleased with the work of the new men.
who showed knowledge and speed. Right
now not much can be said about the
prospects for a good team at Gallaudet.
as no line can be taken on a team that
has worked only a short time. In con-
clusion, however, no mistake will be
made in saying that indications point
toward a strong team.
The squad this year will be coached by
Arras, the new phySAcal director. Arras
graduated from the east side college in
June, and was member of the 1905
1909 and 1911 teams His work was SUI
perb. and he has the skill to coach any
team.

Farmers May Have a Good
Eleven.
OLD MEN YET TO RETURN
Whole Squad Will Be Out Tomor-
row, Though, and Work Will
Really Begin.

The Maryland Aggies will begin prac-
tice in reality this week. With the return
of the remainder of last years squad to-
day and tomorrow 1t Is probable that the
candidates will be put through some real
hard workouts.
Just what will be the nature of the
work during the coming week is hard to
tell, but 1t Is certain that some kind OF
a team must be selected and signal prac-
tice started. as the first game of the
season will be played next Saturday with
one Of tho Washington high schools;
which it will be has not yet been deter
mined.
The work done yesterday was about
the same as that given the men on the
first day out. 1t was calculated to put
the players into some kind of condition
and at the same time give them an idea
as to the fundamentals of foot ball. The
practice was little more strenuous yes
terday, because two lines We're placed In
front Of each other and taught how to
charge and block. The most Of the at
tention was given to the line. the back
field receiving nothing more than an ex-
ercise which would get them in shape and
also give them the knack Of receiving di-
rect passes from the center.
Several Yet to Report.
The men who have yet to report for
practice are as follows: Hoffecker, Capt
Shipley, quarterback: Vogel, fullback, and
c. White. r. White and Firor. three sub
stitutes of last seasons eleven. Word
has been received from each of these men
that he will be back before tomorrow. 1t

The men who have reported so far for
the line positions are Huntemann. Bow
land. Williams. koehler. McBierney,
Posey, Eddy, Johnson. E. Johnson, Pen
niman. Coster. Hindman. and several
others. Several of these give promise
of developing into exceptionally good
only entered school this fall. Among
those who have reported to try for back
field positions are Ruff, Mclean, Knode,
Smith. Giebel, Loomis and Atchison.
1T is difficult to give much OF an idea
as to what kind of a team the Farmers
will have this year. Circumstances are
such that with the breaks in the luck
fairly capable eleven may be develop
ed. and then. again. 1t is possible that not
as much as is expected will be accom-
plished.
The first college game will be played
with Richmond College in Richmond Oc-
tober 5. game will be arranged for
next Saturday, to be played against one
of the high schools, In order that the
eleven will not have to play it's first big
game without having met a small team.
The Farmers schedule is a peculiar and
difficult one, in that the games which it
most desires to win come earliest on the
list and before the season is half over:
The schedule follows:

In yesterdays practice White received
a severe blow in the shoulder and was
sent to the Georgetown Hospital. where
an examination was made. 1t Is feared
that White will be out Of the game Tor

that he cracked the clavicle bone. a

then whether or not Georgetown will be

LOCAL CHESS CLUB
PLANS BUSY SEASON
Capital City Organization Will
Hold Big Journeys This
Year.

The tournament committee at the Cap
ital City Chess and Checker Club is busy
outlining a program Of sports for the COM
ing fall and winter which will perhaps
surpass that of last season, which left
little to be desired in the hearts of chess
and checker players.
The principal tournaments will not, OF
course. commence until after the annual
meeting and election of officers, which
occurs October %. After this date the
fun will begin in earnest. with the men,
bers looking forward to the annual chess
and checker tournaments for the club
championship as the chief features of the
program. There will be a minor tourna-
ment for the benefit of those who do not
enter the championship event, as we'll as
other contests, the whole program being
designed with the object of giving the
entire club, from the weakest to the
strongest, an opportunity of enjoying the
game to the fullest extent.
1t Is not unlikely that arrangements will
be made later for the four highest play
ers in the championship tournament TO
play a four-cornered match. the winner
to play L. B. Napoleon for the District
championship. 1t is also possible that 1t
will be made an open teurnament-that
is, any one in the District of Columbia
being eligible whether a member of the
club or not.

SCORE EASY WINS
Grand Circuit Closes at De-

Horses First Under the Wire Win
About as They

DETROIT, September 21.-An early

fields away at the state fair track made
it possible to finish the weeks grand
circuit program this afternoon Seven
full races We're completed. and in addi-
ton the final heat of the 200 trot which
came over from Friday. was run off.
In sharp contrast to yesterdays per-
formances only one event today went
into extra heats. The go trot went

TO take three tirsts.
Myrtle Granett took the deciding heat
of the 200 trot Both Funny Crank and

field to the head of the stretch in the
first round, came with rush on the
outside and won with ease. After that
her had acting undoubtedly cost her first
money. Lasall could not get her started
until the other horses were two or three
hundred yards away, but when the mare
finally caught her stride she showed
great speed and finished with the bunch
each time. In the fourth heat only the
fact that LasaH got in pocket coming
down the stretch after Il splendid chase
kept Lynne from finishing in front AGAIN.
Pop Greers won his only purse of the
week when he drove Early Thacker to
victory in the 30 pace. The handsome
gelding had it all his own way In each

Earl Junior took the free-for-all IN

Departmental League.

Steps are being taken by ]. N. Roberts
to reorganize the Departmental Chess
League. Mr.. Roberts was president OF
the league during the last two years Of
its existence, as we'll as captain of the
team which represented the Department
of Agriculture, and he will probably have
little difficulty in getting his old team
lined up, and will also. without doubt be
able to get good teams from both the In
terror Department and the government
printing Office.
The War. Navy and Treasury Depart
ments may put teams in the field, and
possibly Commerce and Labor and Post
Office, although 1t is probable that not
more than two teams out Of the last four
mentioned can be counted on.
The Capital City Chess and Checker
Club will undoubtedly accommodate the
league by furnishing them the use Of its
rooms for playing the matches.
The activities of the reorganized league,
in addition to the regular program. will
preclude any possibility Of dull times at
the club during the coming season and
produce a succession of lively events,
which will be sure to appeal strongly to
all lovers Of the game.
The list of entries in both the chess and
checker tournaments this year will un-
doubtedly show a stronger field than last
year. the club having gained in strength
very rapidly during the past year.
