BIG EASTERN TEAMS
BEGIN SECOND WEEK
OF PRESENT SEASON
Number of New Varsity
Elevens to Be Seen in Ac-
tiOn-Virginia to. Meet
Pennsylvania State

New York, September pa number of
new varsity elevens will swing into &C.
ton tomorrow, the second Saturday of
the eastern gridiron season of 1916 Among
the more important teams to engage in
their initial contests are Princeton, Yale,
Army, Navy, Colgate, University of
Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Brown. None
of these elevens is called upon to face
formidable opponents and a majority is
to play teams which did not appear in
the 1915 list of games
Principal interest will attach to the
showing made by the Pennsylvania, Yale
and Princeton combinations in the games,
as two of these three elevens will appear
under the direction of new coaches. The
Eli players will have their first oppor-
tunity to show what progress has been
made under the direction of Tad Jones
and the same is true of Pennsylvania
under Bob Folwell.
Speedy" Rush is no longer novelty
at Princeton, but the manner in which
the Tiger coach brought along the Mas
sau team last season apparently makes
the Tigers formidable to opponents this
fall.
For the first time in many years Prince
ton will open her season away from home,
playing Holy Cross at Worcester The
eleven should give Princeton strong OPP
position. Yale will face the Carnegie In
stitute team and the Pittsburg players
are expected to offer resistance enough
to indicate what progress Yale is making
under Coach Jones.
The University of Pennsylvania will
have the University of Virginia to play
Both the Army and Navy elevens also
will make their debut, meeting Lebanon
Valley and Dickinson college combina-
tons, respectively. Neither institution
was played last year
Harvard and Dartmouth opened their
seasons week ago with victories and
play their second games tomorrow. Har-
ward will line up against Rates, while
Dartmouth will meet the Boston College
team. Cornell will not get into action
until next week
Other important games include Colgate
VS.. Susquehana: Amherst VS.. Middlebury:
Brown vs. Rhode Island; Syracuse VS..
Grove City, and Wesleyan VS.. Connects

Reports from the university camp
are to the effect that the Crimson
machine is in a crippled condition and
that every precaution will be taken
against the Owenton eleven. Coach
Charlie Brown of the Methodists has
developed a strong team. In fact the
eleven is one of the strongest repre-
senting a prep school that has ever
been seen in action in Birmingham
The team has been drilled hard for the
past two weeks and the team is in con-
dition to give the Crimson a hard strug
gle. Every fine point has been smoothed
over and the team appears to be in mid
season form.
The final workout of the Methodists
was held yesterday afternoon at Munger
field. Nothing but signals. passing and
punting were practiced. Coach Brown
had three teams going through signal
practice for the entire afternoon and at
the conclusion of practice stated that
he was pleased with the manner in which
the squads worked.
Last season the Methodists journeyed
to Tuscaloosa and were slaughtered by
the mighty Crimson eleven, which gained
more fame than any other team repre-
senting Alabama for a number of years
This season. however, the tale will be
different. With an excellent team in the
best of shape, the Methodists are ex-
pected to make the best showing a prep
school ever made against the Alabama
eleven.
The daily work which Coach Brown
practices has developed good team and
should the Methodists fail to show ex-
pected form, a large following will be
disappointed. Almost a hundred supper
ters of the Methodists are going to make
the trip, the majority in automobiles.
Two sets of backfeld men will make
the trip. Seventeen men will be carried
to oppose the Crimson. They are as fol-
lows: Sessions Captain Bailey, McPhail,
Neese, Caps, Neill. Norton, Kidd, Lewis
Logan, Cook, Warren, Gillian, Malone
Hatcher, Hanes and West.
The team will return late tonight The
large majority of the people who make
the trip will also return late tonight

Auburn, September 29.-(Special. }
Hard work has constituted the major
part of the training during the past
week and as a result there is many
a sore and bruised spot in the Auburn
camp to tell the story of a football
ambition. However. most of the hus-
kies are standing it well, there being
only two exceptions, Pat" Jones, the
fast little quarter, who was putting
up good scrap, will be laid out a
week or two on account of a bad foot.

be out again in few days.
The main varsity squad is not be-
ing worked at it's hardest but is be-
ing held back waiting to see how the
new men show up. The eleventh hour
arrival of Fricke and Campbell, who
with Robinson give Coach Donahue
three men around which to build a
line. The seriousness of the situa-
ton at Auburn is bringing old stars
back to help develop material up to
the proper standard.
"Tubby' Lockwood has been on hand
for the past few days and while here
had big Rogers under his personal SUI
pervision. AS result, Rogers is hit
ting harder than any man in the line and
is breaking through spelling many a
scrub play. The other linesmen, War
rem, Sanford, Stone, Garner and
Thomas, are learning rapidly and to
pick one of them for the squad is 60
ing to be a hard job. The latest ar
rival in camp is Snider, a Bessemer
boy, and if he continues the fight he
is putting up at present he will be
heard from before the season is over.
In the backfield Rivington is show
ing we'll at full, but is going to have
opposition in Fullington, a Gadsden
boy, who has done some mighty good
line bucking during the past week.
The arrival of bill" Donahue is max
ing the fight for quarter lively af-
fair. However, Hall is putting up a
mighty good showing. At halves
Grasse and Grimsley are doing some
good work.
Just how many men Coach Donahue
will take to Montgomery for the game
with the soldier boys is not known.
He will probably use number of new
men to see how well they show up I'M
der fire. The soldiers are in good
condition and are going to put up a
mighty hard fight against the Plains
men, but they are prepared to give
anybody a good fight at present.
