BIG BILL HOLLENBACK ts working
day and night for the big game with the
University OF Pittsburgh next Saturday. His
Syracuse players are up at sunrlse for their
initial workout OF tho day. and after
classes are over they toll on the football
field until II is too dark to see the ball
Bill has inaugurated new training stunt
which has produced results He gets the
squad out before breakfast runs them
through signal practice and winds up with
cross-country run. Then. after showers
and rundown, the athletes are allowed to
destroy huge breakfast.
IL Is admitted freely by experts who have
seen the team In action that Syracuse has
one OF the most powerful elevens In the
country this year. and Pittsburgh will have
hard time In Saturdays game. The limo
Is tho biggest ever seen In the East and the
backfeld is almost as large In the early
games Hollenback's men have trampled over
their foes and huge scores have been run
up. Unless Pitt is much stronger than II
was against the Navy followers OF the
Orange and Blue predict another over
whelming victory.
Today secret practice was held in the
stadium and II will continue all week Large
William faces problem In selecting n half

there is no chance OF his getting into the
game with Pittsburgh.
PERCY HAUGHTON Ia back again with
Faih Hahvahd. Yesterday he doffed his
coat and assumed fun charge OF the squad

days work under the Haughton rule con-
sisted OF short blackboard talk.
ACCORDING TO ONE OF the officials In
Brown-Amherst game last Saturday, the
Brunonians have the strongest team in
years and are at least three touchdowns
better than Harvard These are harsh
words, but this seems to be the year for
small colleges and the dope might be right.
In three games the team from Providence
has scored i29 points, which compares IA
vorably with the l66 scored in all OF the
battles last year. Brown, however, plays
freshmen on the team and there are several
good ones on the varsity. The most prom
Using product is De Vitals. the fullback
who is playing his first year on the eleven.
HERE'S A GOOD ONE. II is said that
Yale will drop Lehigh from Its schedule In
the future. The New Havenltes claim that
Tom Keadys athletes are rather rough and
recall the game last year when Old Ell
triumphed by the close margin OF one point.
Overzealous aggressiveness Is the charge
made against the gentlemen from South
Bethlehem. II memory serves us right. this
eagerly sought, but could not be found. at
New Haven last year.
YALE is USING numbers this year-a
step in the right direction. II is impossible
20 distinguish between the players In any
other way and the game would be helped
considerably II all teams would adopt the
system. Last Saturday the Tufts team APP
peared against Princeton wearing nice. new
white head gears but no numbers As a
result, three or four OF the visiting players
did some wonderful work. but their names
did not appear in the stories OF the game
because 1t was impossible 20 Identify them.
DESPITE THE INFANTILE paralysis
scare, Princeton will play out her schedule
this fall. Tho Dartmouth game will be
played on October 2s and II is almost GER
tain that Lafayette will bs taken on next
Saturday. This was announced by Grad
uate Manager Joseph Murray today.
PENN STATE has a good team this year.
but the players and coaches are not at all
confident OF winning the Penn game next
Saturday. Coach Dick Harlow has quite
a little respect for Bob Folwell and is taxi
ing no chances. He realizes that Swarth-

and Blue has a weak team. and complete
reversal OF form ID looked for next Satur-
day Fearing this comeback" State
