Wins by Straight Heats at :
Trenton

TRENTON, Sept. 27.-While the fields
were small in all OF the five events on the
second days racing card, excellent weather
and splendid contests provided good sport
for the large attendance at the Interstate
Fair races yesterday. The track is rather
cuppy this year, and as a result fast time
Is out of the question.
Legal w. scored a straight-heat VIC
tory in the 2:1S trotting race. making his
seventh straight win out of nine starts
this season. He just equaled his record OF
2:i6A, made In a winning race at Allen
town last week. Lake Worthy. driven by
Frank Turner. of Philadelphia, was the
factor In this race, but could not out
trot the New York horse at any stage Of
the race.
Only four OF the original entries an
swered the call of the starters bell in the
2:22 class pace, and one of that number.

Except in one set, the first, which they

played soft, unsteady and in the main weak
tennis. The titleholder apparently caught
the contagion. Miss Bjurstedt occasionally

drilled eleven is ready for business.
As was said before. brute strength no
longer is factor in football. Nor is the
name of big college enough TO frighten
the smaller opponents Ursinus. Frankhn
and Marshall Swarthmore and others have
walloped Penn early in the season, while
Yale. Harvard and Princeton also have had
their narrow escapes. Cornell once had a
habit OF losing at least two early games
each year, Just because II was impossible
to get a team working smoothly For that
reason, Penn probably will have hard time
next Saturday. unless some very good sub
stitutes are found to fill the places OF the
Injured stars.
Some Real Dope
Remember what a splurge Rutgers made
his men to beat Princeton in the first game
Well, we have another team with us THIS
year that is said to be Just as good at
Rutgers last year. Fordham College has
a squad OF excellent football players, which
has been practicing for more than month
and IL Is freely predicted by the experts IN
New York that n few teams Will be treated
to a huge surprise this autumn. Every one
we have spoken to says the eleven Is one OF
the best in the East and expects to hang up
a good record.
Fordham's first opponent will be Lafay-
cite and the game is scheduled for next
Saturday. on paper 1t looks like the best
battle Of the day. but you never can tell
Crowell has fairly good team up at Easton
and while little has been said about It, it's
a safe bet that the Maroon and White VIII
present a strong lineup. Willie-his right
name is Wllmer--has had his men hard al
work for the last three weeks, but they
will need all the training they can get to
beat Fordham This dope probably will run
the same as that spilled about Rutgers In
1914 and 1915, but it's good dope anyway.
Team Lives Outdoors
Crowell has sprung an innovation UP al
Easton and is copying the methods OF
Fielder Jones at st. Louis. Jones, 1t will be
remembered ordered his players to sleeT
outdoors when the weather became too hot
for comfort and the stunt worked so vel
that the team started on a winning streak
Crowel is working on the same idea al
though It cannot be blamed on the weather
huge tent has been put up on March Field
and in II are twenty other smaller tents
which are used by the players. The Lafay
ette coach intends to keep his men in the
open all season, and the experiment Is be
ing watched with interest.

srners have been pract cling since August

perfected their team play. 1t might be said
that they are In better shape than Penn at
his time. Folwell however, Is working the
Red and Blue squad very hard and should
when the referees whistle opens hostilltles.
Penn Has Hard Luck
penn has had her share of hard luck
this season. although 1t is but three weeks
old. Loucks, Ross Dougherty and Hen.
ming are in the injured list, Quigley is
taking examinations and Howard Berry is
with the troops on the border. This is a
severe handicap for a new coach to over
come, especially as all the games on the
schedule are hard ones. These smaller
colleges have a chance to win at this time
Of the year. regardless Of the Size of the
squad at the larger institutions.
A few years ago one would have been con-
sidered foolish even to hint that a minor
college eleven could walk away with an
early practice game" But that was before
the forward pass was perfected and the
open game was here to stay. In the olden
days, when mass plays and line bucking
were in vogue. 1t was quantity, not quality,
that counted A small college like f. and
NJ or Ursinus would come out to Frank
lin Field. play couple Of ten-minute halves
and limp homeward with the short end
Of 100 to 0 score under their belts. They
would make a great showing for about five
minutes but after that Penn would shoot
IN fresh substitutes and batter the other
team all over the field and win as she
pleased But remember. that was in the
olden days.
It's Different Now
Now II is different. It doesn't take so
many men to make football squad, and
the Minors" with their eighteen or twenty
men have more of chance than the big
college with a squad of 200. In modern
football brute strength is supplanted by
speed and agility combined with perfect
team play The latter is most important,
and right now Penn. Harvard. Yale and
the others are at a disadvantage. 1t takes
time to select a varsity squad from a couple
