have Charley Bold, the crack fullback
of the Everett High School team, out
with the men this week. Bold was the
running mate of young Brickley, broth
er of the famous Charlie Brickley, last
season, and is sure to make good.

hard, and has dropped four pounds

team worked out in the gym and on
the field yesterday for fully two hours.
Twenty-seven men in all turned out
for the squad, which is expected to be

YOUTHFUL CHAMPION
COMES UNHERALDED
Francis 0uimet, Practically Un.
known to GoIfing World Up
to Six Weeks Ago.

Francis Ouimet, the new American
open golf champion. is Of French.
Canadian extraction. He pronounces hi.
name "We-met." Six weeks ago hi
was practically unheard OF In golf, al.
though his showing at the game, after
having been graduated from the ranks
Of the caddies. was such that in 1e1:
he was handicapped at 8. He was then
considered one of the most promising
golfers Massachusetts had ever turned
out. Last year, however. he displayed
poorer form, and was allowed an extra
stroke in the list issued by the United
States Golf Association in the spring OF
this year.
His name does not appear In any OF
the previous records Of the national
amateur championship. In fact, he failed
to qualify in any of them until this
year. Even in 1910 Ouimet was unable
to gain a place among the fortunate
thirty-two.
He first made his prowess felt to any
extent when he won the Massachusetts
title this spring. in the absence of Helm
rich Schmidt. who was then In Eng
land. When Massa chusetts golfers ar
rived at Garden City they predicted that
young Ouimet would be heard from. So
It proved, for he led the field on the
hrst day with "a. a stroke ahead Of
Walter ]. Travis. He was only three
strokes behind Charles Evans. jr., the
winner of the medal in the qualifying
round. and was second On the list.
It's wonderful" was the comment
of Jerome d. Travers. the national
amateur champion yesterday. who had
pulling hard for Ou!met
What impressed the oldtimers more
than anything else was the remarkable
nerve displayed by the winner. With
Vardon and Ray these championship al
fairs. all the more nerve-racking be-
watching every move, are more or less
an old story. Quite different with Oui-
met. who was competing In his first
national open championship. From the
moment he made his first drive, the
Massachusetts, champion did everything
that brain and muscle could be expect
ed to do.
To carry the analysis further. Ouimet
had the better of his opponents on the
green. as well as through the fairway
During the course Of the round the
amateur took "a puts, Ray 36. and Var
don 81. On only one green. the seventh.

PRINCETON, Sept. A.-That there Is
some decidedly good football material
in the Tiger squad of candidates. much
more than was at first suspected, The
past week of practice has shown con-
clusively.
There are decided indications Of the
Tigers having a heavy line this season
with a light backfield. Captain Baker.

Quarterback S. Baker is not far above
l6O pounds. Click. at right half. ap-
pears to have some beef. and is at
present the strongest candidate for this
position. Merritt. at fullback. is one OF
the heaviest men on the varsity. and
built fairly close to the ground. His
eight will undoubtedly prove a big help
to the varsity attack, as his bull-like
plunRing Is admirably suited to for
