PENIS Football Candidates
Get Together on Franklin
Field for First Real Prac-
tice.
Few Veterans Report, but the
Material Is Better Than for
Several Years Past.
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

Penn's football candidates trotted out
on Franklin Field this afternoon for the
first real practice of the 1914 season.
Thirty-fve men in all answered Coach
Brookes CALL and among them were q
lumber of experienced players not only
from the varsity team of last year. but
also from last seasons scrub and fresh
man teams as well. The warriors first
got together in the training house, where
they were given talks by Coach Brooke
and Captain Journeay, who Is slated to
occupy one of the line positions.
Among the veterans of last years var
sity beside Journeay present, were Nick
Carter, tackle and Russell, a guard.
Other promising candidates were: DOC"
Irwin, who will make strong bid for
the quarterback job; Urquhart, of last
years freshman team; Ballou, former
Central High and Princeton player;
Tucker, of the 1912 freshman team, also
a quarterback, and Tighe, a substitute
back in 1918.
No strenuous work of any kind was at
tempted today, the majority Of the play
ers appearing in light track suits. How
ever. Brooke and Dwyer kept the men
going at stiff pace, punting, forward
passing and covering kicks being the
program.
"By" Dickson, the line COACH has not
as yet made his appearance on the field.
but he is expected tomorrow. When he
takes charge. the candidates will get
down to work in real earnest.

CENTRAL'S ELEVEN
TO BE LAUNCHED ON
TRAINING WAY TODAY
Many Promising Football
Candidates Expected to
Don Moleskins and Pre-
pare for Fall Campaign.

When preliminary football practice
starts at the Central High School field
today many promising new candidates
are expected to report in addition to the
several regulars left from last years
team. The squad suffered considerably
from graduation, losing such men as
Ross, Bertolet, Diehl Cubbage, "Ftay'
Young, Wiley and Taylor, and most OF
these positions will have to be filled with
men who have never worn crimson
and gold Jersey. The man whose position
will be hardest to fill is Harry Ross.
Harry was captain of last years team
and was considered the best line bucker
in scholastic ranks. The most promising
candidate for his job Is Bill Butler.
The latter seems to be we'll fitted, and
has already won his &c. H. s." at foot
ball, track, basketball and rowing.
Bertolet and Stephens were the half
backs last year, and the most likely run
ming mate for Captain BIZ this year
seems to be Carl Thomas, who made
name for himself at F'rankford High last
season. The probable successor to
Shorty" Diehl, last years quarterback,
Is Norm Gotwals, brother to the 1913
captain. 1t will be hard to fill the places
of Young, all-scholastic end, and Wiley.
last years center: but Coach Alec
Howell makes a specially of developing
new finds" and the students at Broad
and Green streets need not be surprised
to see equals Of these appear in high
school jersey when the team lines up
for the big games in the latter part OF
the season.
Central Highs best bet is captain
"Brl'' stephens, the speedy little blond
hslfback, who has been the all-scholasic
choice for the past two seasons

Passenger Pigeons Gone

The question has been asked, do you
think there is a passenger pigeon in eX-
istence?" to wt..ch the answer no" is
given The countless millions OF these
birds, which once shut out the sunshine
by their numbers in flight in various
sections, have been so wantonly destroyed
that not single bird is alive today.
II he is he has not been discovered,
though reports from time to time have
been received from various sections that
a bird resembling the passenger has been
seen These reports have been run to
earth by many prominent Ornthologists.
and so far not bird has been discov-
cred. There Is a standing offer OF great
value to the person who finds a nesting
pair and captures them. Up until a COM
paratively short time ago a passenger
pigeon was one of the cur!osities in the
Cincinnati Zoo.
