Football cps to
Limelight ON Many
Gridirons, Today

New York, Sept. 26.-Footbali teams
representing the leading universities
of the county. will swing into action
tomorrow afternoon and before dusk
King Football will have made his 1918
debut on many fields.
Although many of the smaller col
leges eleyens appeared in easy games
last week, the majority of the big
teams reserved their initial appear
ance for the last Saturday of Septem-
Der. In the East, Pennsylvania,
Princeton and Harvard all step from
the practice to the actual playing
stage, while in the Middle West, Min
nesota will lead the way for the other
| conference college teams.
Much interest will naturally attach
to the open game of the Harvard
schedule. The eastern championship
eleven of the last autumn While not
intact, still has many representatives
upon the crimson's squad of this year.
Many promising players are trying for
places left vacant by those graduated
and although Coach Laughton elimi-
mated more than so per cent of these
/,
there still remains an open battle for
several positions in line and backfield.
Capt. Storer will undoubtedly try out
a number of men during the game
with the University of Maine and a
better idea of the ranking of the pres
ent squad will be obtained by night

hardest games of the day in the East

First Attempt to
Navigate Gatun
Locks in Panama

fanama, Sept. 26.-The most inn
portant step this far toward the op-
GRAFTON of the Panama canal took
place. today, when the sea going tug
boat Gatun, drawing twelve and a half
feet of water, was successfully passed
through the Gatun locks and, tonight,
floats in Gatun lake
This was the first attempt made to
operate the locks and the result was
highly pleasing to Col GoethaIs, chair
man of the canal commission.
Hundreds of persons withstood the
burning rays of the tropic sun to see
the act of passing the first vessal from
sea level to the level of Gatun lake.
The massive 500-ton leaves of the
lock gates performed their functions
perfectly, working with the precision
and nicely of a we'll oiled door.
