Pennsylvania Squad Out.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 15.-Tht
University of Pennsylvania football
squad put its first day of practice o.
the season on the college gridiron TO.
day. Seven of the 1912 stars reported
for another years work to Head Coach
Brooke and Captain Young, and a
promising crop of freshmen also Lined
the field anxiously awaiting opportun-
ity for try out"
Contrary to expectation, the squad
will not be taken out of the city for
preliminary practice as was usually
the custom UP until two years ago.
Coach Brooke is anxious for this train
ing but the football committee is OPP
posed to it.
With only two weeks until the open
ing game of the season with Gettys-
burg, great amount of work will
fall upon the shoulders of Brooke and
Gus Ziegler and 81 Pauxtis, his assist
ants. The team will probably also be
handicapped by the absence of a train
er, as the football committee does not
seem to be disposed to secure man
to succeed Joe McCracken, who saw
to the physical condition of the play
ers last year.

coach, is heralded as the man who can
do as much for Illinois on the gridiron
as George Huff has done on the dia-
mond.
Eight vets of last years team jump
ed into their places today. They were
Chapman, Rowe, Booze, Silkman, Wag-
ner, Senneff, Schobinger and Wilson.
In addition there were some likely
freshmen, among them being Captain
Graves, who has recovered from his
broken ankle; Madison, Hewins, and
Watson. The last three are tackles

three candidates for quarter. They are

There were two boys there, office
boy type. One was washing his
hands. Also man, office man type,
who joshed the boy who was wash
ing. Told him he needed bath by
the looks of as much of him as was
visible-and such as that. The boy
hotly denied that he was flthier than
the average. Finally the merry kid
der went out. The accused boy turned
to his companion and exclaimed, part
ly in indignation and mostly in
amusement, at the absurdity OF the
idea:
He thinks everybody's hands is

Now that struck me as right II.

at sight of his dirty hands or face?

brusk and contemptuous, dismissed
the bearer.
But whatever feeling the lord Of the
Mount might entertain toward his
chief officer, no course at the moment
seemed open save to await the return
of that person and the Marquis. So,
curbing his impatience as best he
might, his Excellency kept vigil; and
not alone! Tidings Of what had hap

So matters stood, when one day,
alone in the cloister, his Excellency

Deliberately the Governor took the
missive, tore open the envelope, anc

bushes, near at hand, and gruff voice
called out.
"Stand where you are!"
The nobleman's face changed; his
gaze, as IL fascinated, now rested on a
score of rough figures who, following
the order, so unexpected and startling,
sprang simultaneously from neighbor-

to surround them. Held by their grim
