The day before Gardner had won an eX.
tremely hard match from Jones because
OF his ability to putt when putting was
an imperative necessity. Guilford In the
Gardner match further emphasized the
value Of putting by a clear cut loss Of
the match through careless and Indifferent
work on the green
Gardner started of with rush, and
soon had Guilford three down. but at this
point Cuilford began to show his golhng
ability, and they see-sawed the rest Of
the way OF the morning round. The ANA
teur champion started the afternoon four
up on Gulford. Guilford was making ter
rife drives throughout the day. lie re-
peatedly had his chance to win. but threw
It away by poor putting The turning point
of this contest, which was very interesting
TO the gallery. came at the third hole in
the afternoon, Jesse put one OF his beau
tiful drives straight down the fairway and
was on the green in two. Gardner drove
bit badly, and his bail came TO rest in an
almost impossible spot near a fence. BY
care and good judgment he got out on his
second, but was into the rough on his third
shot BY every kind Of golhng standard
Guilford was entitled to win this hole but
here Glrdner's resourcefulness came into
play, for he played FROM the rough on a
dOwu-hll green aud holed out on his next
shot. This surprising play seemed TO af-
feet Guiford's work. for II took him three
puts and he merely halved the hole,
There were only two other critical points
in the match. on the sixth hole Guilford
was on in two and the hole seemed TO be
his. for Gardner topped his tee ball Gull
ford's putting was his undong. lie went
down in three, and only halved the hole
Guilford repeated this poor putting on the
ninth hole. and the match really ended
there, as Gardner grew very Indifferent
from this on and played with poor judg-
ment
The thirteenth hole at Merton is a short
one. Gardner's ball landed in the water.
lie attempted TO play It out of six inches
of water with the usual result Of attempting
the impossible. lie dropped the ball out
and lost another stroke.
In reviewing this match 1t is clear that
the greater resourcefulness of Gardner and
his ability on the green were the deciding
factors. The match illustrated the fact that
although the ability to drive a ball a great
distance has value and is very pleasant to
look at it does not win matches. Putting
skill, Judgment and care are far more val
liable qualities than mere driving power. In

Afternoon
LARGE SQUAD ON FIELD

Football officially got under way at Frank
lin Field this afternoon Previous 20 today
the work had been in charge of Captain
Miller, who merely tried to keep the men
engaged until the arrival Of Head Coach
Bob Folwell. The well-known gridiron In
structor made his appearance this after
noon, and it was a very impressive one.
More than 500 students, mostly freshmen,
marched into and around the field. They
lined up In front of the stand and gave three
cheers for Folwell and requested the head
coach to make a speech.
FOlwell made a plea for clean living
among the boys and asked them and the
students to help them do the right thing
when off the field. As there Is po training
table at Penn this year, It means that the
athletes will be dependent upon themselves
to eat the right kind of food. lie urged
them TO pay much attention to this, and
again asked the students to lend all assist
ance possible to aiding the gridron gladia-
tors.
The students marched into the field carry
ing a big banner with these words inscribed
thereon: Join the a. A. Choice of Fifteen
Sports. Fee, Ten Dollars" The committee
of fifteen is making "A special effort to have
every registered student a member of the
athletic association this year and TO do
everything TO make the athletics a success
at the Quaker school.
Folwell was not the only mentor 10 talk
To the assemblage. Freshman Coach Lon
Jourdet talked to the boys, as did Joe
Wright, crew coach; Lawson Robertson,
trainer of the football team and track tutor,
and Douglas Stewart, soccer coach.

ALTHOUGH college and scholastic foot
n ball is shot to pieces on account of the
war. Allentown is promised the most bril-
liant football season in its history through
the organization Of a team at the camp of
the United States ambulance corps on the
sair grounds The work Of organizing a
football team was given by the command
ing officer to Lieutenant William T. Raken,
m philadelphia who brought the Tioga unit
20 Allentown, and who was appointed or.
eanizer Of the camp band and assistant
mess officer.
Lieutenant Raken played football on the
University Of Pennsylvania team In 1904,
and later on the jefferson eleven had as a
colleague Robert w. Tiny Maxwell, now
After Lieutenant Raken had coached the
players for several days on the rough tenn
porary gridiron In the camp, he went to
Muhlenberg College to ask for use Of
Muhlenberg Field, where is located one Of
the finest gridirons in the country. The
upshot Of this visit was not only the grant
of the use of Muhlenberg Field to the am-
bulance corps team. but the engagement
OF Dr. John p. Price. the NIuhenberg
coach as the active coach of the am
bulance eleven.
Lieutenant Ralen continued as manager
of the ambulance corps team and chair

sIsting of Major Vaughn Of the University
of Virginia; Lieutenant Ormsby Mccain

the University of South Carolina. and Lieu

lege, Missouri.
Many College Stars
Doctor Price met the ambulance corps
squad for the first time last Saturday, and
has since then been giving the camp candi-
dates for football honors several hours OF
real practice every afternoon. The results
have been very encouraging. In this camp
are at least 100 of the most famous foot
ball players in America, representing no
less than forty-seven colleges and uni
yersities, and Lieutenant Raken declares
that for the first time in history there will
be realized what has before been only on
paper-an All-American team.
Lieutenant Raken has been very busy
arranging a schedule, writing OF wiring to
virtually every college in the East, and
there will be games with some famous in
stitutions, beginning with Penn state on
Muhlenberg Field in Allentown on Satur-
day afternoon, September 80.

s. NJ. Hunt and 4. N. Rosenkrantz of

s. M. Hunt, boatswain's mate oi
the first class and e. N. Rosenkrantz
able seaman of the first class, mem
bers of the crew of u. s. s. Hunting
ton, arrived In Fallon on Monday
Their errand here was to secure re.
cruits for their vessel, which is now
in San Francisco harbor.
The Huntington Is an armored
cruiser of 1900 tons and was form
erly the West Virginia. She Is
equipped with airplane launching
and landing apparatus and is known
as an airplane ship, and is in full
commission in the Pacific squadron
When fully manned she carries a
complement of $50 officers and
crew.
The sailor boys state that they
are not recruiting for the navy in
the general acceptance of the term.
but are out scouting for their own
ship and consequently are somewhat
particular as to the type of young
men with whom they will associate
as comrades. They express the hope
that a number of Nevada boys will
join them and thus be associated in
group rather than be separated
and placed on different vessels as
would be the case If they enlisted
at regular recruiting station.
From here the young men will go to
the Eastern part of the State as far
as Elko, stopping at the main rail-
road points enroute.
An Office has been opened in Reno,
which will be the State headquarters
for this campaign. II any OF our
young Fallon patriots desire to Join
this splendid branch OF the Nation s
forces here is an opportunity that
may not be offered again.

mustered in to the regular army,
but with the understanding that
they will not lose their identity as
Nevada volunteers under Col
Roosevelt Texas has already raised
full regiment under these condi-
tions and Utah and Wyoming are
also organizing on similar lines.
When a sufficient number of Ne
yada boys have heen secured they
will be notified to appear at Reno

dorsement of Governor Boyle in this
work. and is working in conjunction
with Mark L. Requa. who is in
charge OF the movement in Cali

OF Utah, where companies are now
forming.
The Fallon list will be left in
charge of Col. II. J. Kinoaid of the

State. He expresses the utmost con-
ndence that there will be no difi-
Guilty In enrolling the EOS men neces-
sary for two full companies with

Incidentally Capt. Donnelly sug-
tests that Fallon follow the example
of other cities and organize a chap
ter of the Red Cross. A chapter has
recently been organized in Reno and
the ladies of Fallon should get In
touch with the leaders there and
establish a Red Cross chapter In
