sForward Defense Weak, but
Hard Practicing Will

The Grand Forks football seaso..
was formerly opened this afternoon,
when the university and high school
teams ciashed i'll their annual prac-
tice contest Monday the teams will
begin a hard grind for their first big
Sgames, which will be held next Sat-
&urday
81 The university team has a hard task
Sbefore it a week from today. when
Tthe Minnesota varsity Is played.
SCoach Gill declares his men have an
&excellent opportunity to show the
&Gophers up this year. and consequent
Ely he will put them through a stiff
conditioning process.
The high school team is consider
Na bly, weaker than the team of last
syear. and Coach O'Keefe is having
@difftculty getting the line in good play
sins condition. The back field looks
promising. but the forward defense
needs great deal of Strengthening, ,
Il With Carter at quarter. Dryden at
full and jacob and Duggan at halves,
the bacl1f1eld is we'll provided for.
jacob Is new to the halfback posi-
ton, but there is every indication that
he will round into shape. Carter was
one of the best quarters in the state
last season. and looks even better
this year. Duggan and Dryden each
play a strong game.
The line did better work yesterday
than the day before. 1t held we'll on
defensive and opened up good holes
on the offensive. The backfield men
consequently were able to make long
gains on the second string players.
Another week Of hard practice will
make considerable change in the
highs. There is good material in the
squad, and Doc" O'Keefe should
have another winning aggregation.

New York, Sept 27.-The heavy ar
tillery of the Eastern college football
brigade unlimbers today and the
boom Of punt and drop kick is heard
on many varsity gridiron. Har.
ward. Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania
elevens enter the field. a majority
playing the initial game OF theit
schedules. While all report excellen,
material from which to build up
teams, which late in November will
be battling for Eastern football su-
pramcy, the coaches make no secret
of the fact that in almost every case
they are counting heavily upon vet
eran players about whom they will
build the 1914 football machines.
In this respect Harvard, which
holds the 1913 season honors, is un-
usually we'll equipped for the hard
campaign which includes games with
Yale, Michigan, Princeton, Brown,
Washington and Jefferson and Penn.
State. This schedule, probably the
hardest that has been undertaken by
an Eastern team in recent years, plac-
es heavy strain upon the team, and
1t Is certain that far more than the
usual number Of players will be used
IN both the major and minor contests.
1t Is fortunate. therefore, that Har-
ward Is we'll supplied with first and
second string veteran material. In
Captain Brickley the Crimson has the
most, consistent drop kicker of mod :
ern football. This Is a great asset
but the team as a whole must bring
Brickley to within striking distance Of
the goal and hold on defense wIlilo
he gets his kicks, away safely
For this reason Harvard has a ma
5ority Of the line and back field which
last autumn brought championship
to- Cambridge. On the line Cowan
and Pennock are again available as
guards; Trumbull and Soucy for eth
er center or tackle and Hardwick and
Coolidge at ends. The backfield is in
tact with Logan at quarter, Mahan
and Bradlee at halfback and Brickley
at full back. Coach Haughton's prob
lem Is to develop from the second
string and 1913 freshmen squad two
tackles and one end. To select three
or four suitable players from a squad
OF some seventy candidates is not a
task beyond Haughton's reach and
with satisfactory second string Har-
wards line up problem should be
solved early this season.
Yale Not So Promising.
AT Yale the outlook is not so sat
lsfactory. Graduation cut heavily in
to the 1913 eleven and Coach Hinkey
Will have to find new players for a
number Of positions. OF the regulars

also yield some powerful linesmen

Coach Hinkey will undoubtedly inau-

well supplied with veterans, having

Haviland and Nourse are the best Of

field will have to be formed with F.

Pennsylvania and Cornell which
close the Eastern college season with
the Thanksgiving day game at Phila-
delphia, report large squads with a
fair number of veterans and many
promising novices and substitutes
Coach Brooke must build up a pair
of fast ends, and a steady center In
other respects the Quakers are we'll

and were loudly applauded. The pro-
