The Local Squad Starts
From Scratch in the Big
Intercollegiate Gridiron
Marathon.
Some Universities Have Fallen
From Grace by Breaking Un-
written Rule Against Summer
Training.
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

Pennsylvania's football squad starts
from scratch this year in the big inter-
collegiate grldron race. While all Of
their rivals have had a handicap Of from
one to two weeks start i'm the matter Of
preliminary practice, the Quakers are
the last to get under way. on the
fields Of all the other members Of the
big SiX"-by which we mean Harvard.
Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth and
Observation-Disclosures have been testing
new and old candidates. 1t was not un-
I'll today that Coach George II. Brooke
and Captain Albert Journeay had a
chance to meet and size up the athletic
youths who hope to wear the red and
blue.
Some Of the big universities have rather
mer, or too-long extended, preliminary
fallen from grace in the matter of OBJ
serving the unwritten rule against sum
practice. There isn't any intercollegiate
agreement respecting this practice but
by common consent It was discontinued
several years ago by virtually all Of the
big universities of the East on the theory
that 1t was not exactly fair. But grad
ually all the others have been advancing
the date for calling out candidates, and
although not one has begun as early as
September /, several have come periously
near It. The colleges of the Middle West
met the Issue by a signed agreement not
to begin preliminary practice more than
two weeks in advance of the opening OF
their universities.
This year Pennsylvania Is the only
university In the East which has rigidly
adhered to the old understanding. Last
year, when tho Quaker coaches saw that
their rivals were calling out their candi-
dates before the middle of September
George Brooke asked for permission to
call out his candidates at the end Of the
first week in September. But the Penn
syivania Committee, under the chairman
ship of T. Truxtun Hare. peremptorily re.
fused this request on the ground that it
was not fair The same position was
taken this year although all of Pennsyl-
vana's championship rivals have the ad-
vantage of an early start.

been received from various sections that
a bird resembling the passenger has been
seen. These reports have been run to
earth by many prominent ornithologists.
and so far not a bird has been dlscov-
cred. There is a standing offer of great
value TO the person who finds a nesting

HORTER HANGS HIS

Meadowbrook Club Runner
Decides to Quit the Game
at Which He Has Been So
Successful-Other Notes.

Eddie Horter who for many years has
been this city's leading sprlnter among
the local club athletes, has decided to
put away his spikes for all time and de-
vote his attention to business. Horter
was star of the first water from the
very day he tried his hand at the running
game back in 1907. His career has been
one string of successes from that time.
Titles galore have fallen to the skill of
the little Meadowbrook boy but far and
away his best season was in 1918, when,
as a member OF Jimmy Mulligan's
Georgetown University team, he twice
turned the century in 10 seconds fiat and
in the Southern Intercolleglates on Home
wood Field. Baltimore. he set a new rec
ord OF so seconds for the quarter. It still
stands.
Horters announcement Of his with
drawal from amateur athletics will be a
sad blow TO his many friends.

what has bten characterized as a
slump, Wds not a slump, properly speak
ing. To be sure the champions dropped
four straishts to the Red Sox on their
last visit to Boston; broke even with
the Nationals I'm Washington in four
game series, and tied the Red Sox in
Philadelphia in what proved to be two
game series, owing to the tie contest
played on last Friday. Despite this ap-
parent slump the Mackmen were seri-
ously Handicapped at the time these
games were dropped. Eddie Collins should
never have played in the Red Sox games
in Boston, after his ankle was injured
the first day. He played, but his work
was not of the regular Collins brand, be-
cause the Athletics second-sacker could
not place any faith in his ankle. At this
same time Barry was on the injured list
with spiked foot: Lapp and Schang
were out of the games, which left no de-
pendable catcher. To this last fact can
be attributed directly two of their de-
feats in Boston.
Now, however, things have taken on
their customary rosy hue for the White
Elephants All of the manned are in
good shape. Both Schang and Lapp are
able to get in the game and Collins and
Barry showed in their work against the
Yankees on Saturday that they are ready
to set the West afame with their Won

The Yankees resemble a second dtvi-
sion club now considerably more than
they did when the Mackmen were here

been anything but joy to the fans,
