The Local Squad Starts
From Scratch in the Big
Intercollegiate Gridiron
Marathon.
Some Universities Have Fallen
From Grace by Breaking Un-

Training.
By EDWARD r. BUSHNELL

Pennsylvanas football squad starts
from scratch this year in the big inter
collegiate gridIron race. While all Of
their rivals have had handicap Of from
one to two weeks start in the matter Of
preliminary practice, the Quakers are
the last to get under way. on the

and Captain Albert Journeay had a
chance to meet and size up the athletic
youths who hope to wear the red and

Some OF the big universities have rather
mer, or a 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 a

to begin preliminary practice more than
two weeks in advance Of the opening ot
their universities.
This year Pennsylvania is the only
adhered to the old understanding. Last
year. when the Quaker coaches saw that
their rivals were calling out their candi
dates before the middle Of September
George Brooke asked for perm 'ssion t.

first week in September. But the Penn.

ship of T. TruXtun Hare. peremptorily re

result OF five games of ball played IN this
city last week by the Baltimore team or
the International League those interested
in the project to bring the team 10 mis-
city next season IN place of the Tri State
team which became defunct. are much on

ager Dunn who is also the owner OF the
team. may be induced to come here.
The grounds OF the Tri-state team are
too far from the centre of the city and no
team which PLAYED on them has ever been
a success from a financial standpoint,
hence new grounds would have 70 be Sc
cured.

Dangers to the Eye.

Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical flu
minating expert, and DR.. F. Fl. Yer
hoeff, an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the al
legged dangers to the eye from ultra
violet radiation of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount to nothing
at all. They admit that there have
been many sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason of injurious effects of ultra
violet or actinic rays, but these have
entirely neglected any quantitative
relation between the radiation and its
supposed pathological effects" Very
little of these rays can penetrate the
cornea, and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that straggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude,
in cutting off dazzling lights and un-
due heat.

NEW PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE

Cardinal Domenico Ferrata, secre-
tary Of the congregation of the holy
office, whom the new Pope Benedict
XIV has appointed secretary Of state,
is regarded as the member of the
Sacred college best fitted to occupy
this office, second only in Importance
and influence to that of the papacy
itself just at this time, because of the
heavy burden resting upon the Vati-
can due to the war. He succeeds Car
dlnal Merry Del Val, secretary under
Pope Plus x.
Cardinal Ferrata has had a diplo
matte influence such as comes to few
of the college of cardinals. He has
had exceptional experience in ecclesi-
astical matters, and he has always
manifested a friendly disposition to-
ward the leading statesmen of Italy
and the reigning house of Savoy. His
choice of secretary is most pleasing
to the Italian government, and it is
prophesied he may do much to heal
the breach between it and the Vatican.

PRACTICAL HEAD OF RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

The government of Russia is prac-
tically in the hands of Prime Minister
Goremykin. When he was made
prime minister, February 13 of the
present year, the rumors of approach
ing war began to spread in every cap
ital of Europe. Goremykin has for
many years been one of the leaders
of the Nationalist party in Russian
politics. The Nationalists stand for
Pan-Slavism. They are the bitter foes
of the Pan-Germanic doctrine which
unites the Teutons of Germany and
Austria. The Nationalists of Russia
have, for some time, been openly in
favor of a war which would make
the Slavs supreme in Europe and
check the growing encroachments of
the Teutons in the Slav territory of
the balkans.
Goremykin was a member of the
Russian cabinet when Nicholas II as
cended the throne % years ago. He
has been in the confidential counsels
of his sovereign ever since sometimes
