PITTSBURG ELEVEN
BACK IN MOLESKINS
Coach Warner Has Large
Squad Preparing for Hard
Schedule This Season.

PiTTsBuRu. Sept. 1.-The football
squad OF the University OF Pittsburg be-
gan active preparations for the 1916 sea-
son this week. and daily practice sessions
have begun. On Tuesday Coach Warner
led his men 10 the training camp In
Somerset county. near Winber. and on
the following day the first practice was
held.
Six lettermen and a half dozen sub
stitutes from last years squad are miss
ing. but in their places the coach has
seven or eight men who started on the
1915 freshman team. or who were un-
able to take part In football last year.
There ara about thir,y-ive men In the
varsity aggregation. which includes
seventeen players VINO won the varsity
letter in 1914 or 1915.
Among the eligibles who are striving
for positions on the line are five stall
warts who tip the scales at 200 pounds
or better. and II IL probable that the
average we!ght'of the squad will be very
little less h that Of last year.. The
backs, especially those constituting the
second string. are a great deal ligh,c.,
and will depend more upon speed and
skill than upon Drawn for their ground
gaining.
The severe schedule mapped out for
the Panthers necessitates the develop
ment OF a second eleven. part or all OF
which may be called o n to relieve the
first string men at any time. Pitt meets
Navy. Syracuse and Pennsylvania on
successive Saturdays In October. and the
coach will hardly be able 10 keep mis-
men on edge for such a series without
the use Of competent substitutes. Spe-
cial attention will be given to the task Of
grooming a capable understudy to Capt.
Peck at centre and ~alternates for the
end positions. where Heron and Carlson
are expected to hold forth again.

SION was a popular one. Dundee

itornia fought five rounds. after which
hempel quit. lie was outclassed. An

Dundee's skill was not of as much
value to him as he expected, as he was
forced to stand toe to toe with Hammer
ana stub. The Chicago lightweight kent
on top of his opponent every minute of
the ba0e and In eight OF the fifteen
rounds was decidedly the aggressor.
In the first five Hammer had a lead
because Of his fast infghting. In the
next fiveOrounds Dundee had the edge.
The sixth was a slow round. but Dundee
started after Hammer in the seventh and
fought him all over tho ring, landing
several clean. effective blows and win
ming the round by a wide margin. Dun
dee outboxed Hammer In the seventh

punches. again having n big shade. The
ninth was a slow round. but Dundee had
the ADVANTAGE. There was a lot Of
clinching in the tenth and little damage
done.
