Tackles So Strong That Gil

Used at End
This Year.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 20.-The Har-
ward football squad got some real work
this afternoon. Percy Haughton send
ing all hands through their first scrim-
mage. which lasted more than an hour.
There were three teams for the var
sity, while the scrub used substitutes
as they chose. The Crimson's first
lineup was a little different than eX-
pected. owing to Watson's inability to
play quarterback because of slgnt
illness and the necessity for the vet
eran tackle, Gilman, to look out for MS
lame ankle.
Wiggin, snap back of the freshman
team last year, WAS at centre, whlIe
two experienced men, Cowan and Dun
can. played guards. Two more vet
Grams. Parson and Bigelow, were at the
tackles. while c. Coolidge and Soucy

with Mahan, while King and Mchinlock
made up the backfeld.
All the candidates for the varsity
eventually got into the play. There was

was completed to-day by the arrival OF

semble on the newly laid out gridiron
on South Field.

more than half this number is ex-
pected 10 be on hand for the first drill

the head coach.
II Metcalfe's plans work out il is
probable that there will be two practice
sessions a day until Thursday of next
week, when class room exercises VIII
make more than one practice period
impossible.
ONLY the varsity candidates will be
called out at this time and freshmen
who want to make their class eleven
will have TO wait until after the uni
versity opens before getting chance
to practise. The freshman coach has
not been chosen as yet nor have the
assistants TO Melcalfe been selected,
but Harry Fisher, graduate manager,
said Yesterday that there would be sew
eral assistants on hand Thursday. Tom
Thorpe, captain of Columbia's last
eleven, probably will be one OF the vol
unteers. .,
The schedule has not been finally ar
ranged but no change has been made IN
the plan TO play the first game on oc-
tober q with St. Lawrence. II was
said yesterday that there seemed little
prospect Of playing a game with Am
herst this season although reports
emanating from Amherst had Indicated
that a game would be played on No

MISS BJURSTEDT TACKS
ON ANOTHER TITLE
Wins Tri-State Doubles Crown,
PLAYING with Miss Nicely.

Cincinnati. Sept. 20.-Miss Molla
Biurstedt, national champion, and MISS
Carrie Nicely, Of Chicago, won the wom-
ems doubles championship in the an
nual tri-state tournament here to-day
bv defeating Mrs. Malcolm Mcneil, Jrp
of Chicago. and Miss Ruth Saunders,
Of Cincinnati, in straight sets at 81
Go.
The new champions simply smoth-
cred Mrs. Mcneil and her partner by
the speed and strength of their strokes.
Miss Bjurstedt, who won the singles
title last week by defeating Mis-. Saun-
ders in the challenge round, was in
vincible to-day from the back OF her
court. Her forehand drives carried so
much pace that neither Miss Saunders
or her partner was able to handle the
ball with any degree OF certainty, and
at placing her returns on the lines and
10 the corners the national champion
was almost infallible in her accuracy.
Miss Nicely did her most effective
work at the net, cutting short the at
tempted passing shots OF Miss Saun-
ders and Mrs. Mcneil and turning the
ball back with sharp volleys to the
corners. The last set was almost
rout. with the winners taking the SIX
games in a row.
