RUTGERS ELEVEN
WANTED a PENN
Students Would Have Qua
kers Play anford's Team
on Open Date
MOVE THE PITT GAME

with the announcement by Graduate
Manager Bushnell that Penn would open
the. season with the United States mar
ines on Franklin Field on Saturday. in
stead of Franklin and Marshall, n the
possibility of moving the Pitt game back
into November, comes an appeal on the
part of the students at the University
for the Quaker authorities to book a
game on October &c with Rutgers.
Manager Bushnell said today that
there was a strong likelihood Of the Pitt
battle. scheduled for Pittsburgh on. Oc-
tober 20. being put to a date in next
month so that the Red and Blue could
conform with the spirit of the order sent
out by Colonel r.. /. Rees. to the effect
that college teams should not make over
night trips during this month
Dartmouth was dated to oppose Penn
on November Q, but as the New Eng
lapders are not playing football, Penn has
an open date. and the probabilities are
that the Pitt game will be fixed for that
day. TIL Panthers are slated to meet
Washington and jefferson on November
., but it is believed that that game can
be moved ahead to october 90.
on october 26 Washington and Jeffer-
son is listed to battle Notre Dame, at
South Bend. This game has been called
off, so that a Pitt-W. and j. game on
October &c and a Penn-Pitt game on
November 8 are possible.
BY Dickscn's Marines should give
FOlwell's eleven a great battle on Sat-
urday, and the Red and Blue will have
to go some to score a win. Dickson,
who was head field coach at Penn in
1915, knows the Pei system of play
and also Folwell's style Of football. He
was end coach under Folwell in 1916.

home field, they probably will play their
James at Houston Field, the grounds Of
the Central High School. or at the North
east High School Park.
The first game of the season will be
with Catholic High School, probably at
Houston Field. Coach Phil Lewis and
Captain McCool expect to have a team
Of championship caliber this year, al
though the Cliveden eleven has been
hampered by the loss of many stars.
Bob Montgomery and Smith have en-
listed in the navy. Frank Meehan, the
former captain of the Cliveden eleven,
also is in the service. Anthony is in
the marine corps. Hinkle has left Ger
mantown and is studying at Perkiomen.
The loss of Hinkle has been a severe
blow to the Green and White, as his
all-around end runs were one of the
principal features of the Germantown
success at the close of last season.
1t is expected that Percy Andree and
Forsythe will furnish the opposition on
will remain in the backfield. Captain
McCool will be at fullback.

MONDAYS CARD

Cancels Weekly Show to
Prepare for Dempsey
Levinskv Card, Oct
DUNDEE MEETS LEWIS

Everything will he quiet in a boxing
way at the Olympia on Monday night.
The regular weekly show has been'called
of to make way for the big program ar
ranged for Wednesday night, october
9, featuring Jack Dempsey and Battling
Levinsky. which is the best thing in a,
boxing way just now. 1t is the fight
classic of the season and a show GER
tain to pack the South Broad street
Arena.
Dempsey never has been seen here.
In fact a top notch heavyweight has not
appeared in this section since the days
when Jack Johnson and Phila, Jack
. O'Brien were the leaders. Last winter
an attempt was made by the olympia TO
have Fred Fulton exhibit but this failed
when the big purse was not forthcoming.
DEMPSEY put the skids under Full
ton, Just the same as he has other as
piring heavyweights. Few stand in the
way 10 DISPUTE his claim for a match
with willard. When he eliminated Full
ton in twenty seconds he jumped to the
front Immediately. Jack now is work
ing hard at Prompter Dougherty's head
uuarters in Leiperville, Pa. a twenty
four foot ring has been erected and
stands placed around the ring. Big
crowds collect daily to watch the big
fellow work.
The only handicap Dempsey thus far
has found Is the scarcity of sparrlng
mariners. Jack wants some fast. big
fellows. but few seem anxious TO take
a lacing for the pleasure of improving
the coast slugger. Jeff clark, the fight
ing ghost. has been taking the punish-
meut lately. Jack Thompson, the big
colored battler, turned down a chance
10 assist Jack. Thompson insists that
Dempsey hits too hard and quickly
: passed up the chance,
Johnny Dundee and Gus Lewis VIII
perform in the semiwind-up. Joe Bur-
man and Young McGOvern will be seen
in the second bout. \ good opening
card is being arranged.
According to Leon Rains, the advance
sale continues big for this early date
and .justihes the prediction that a ca
pacitv gathering will be on hand when
the big fellows clash one week from
tonight.

by the whitemarsh Valley Country Club
and more money was taken in at the
last of the war charity tournaments than
at the other four, and the conditions
were decidedly against the whitemarsh
tourney.
There was everything in favor of the
opening matches at the Merton Cricket
Club. They were the first matches to
be played here, the weather conditions,
were ideal, transportation facilities were
of the best, and there was no reason
under the sun why both should not hav,

Red Cross, particularly when it is re-
membered that such stars as Chick

valid Kirby, John G. Anderson. Jim
Barnes and Walter Hagen played. II
would be difficult to have arrange for
a more finer crowd of amateur and pro.
fessional players. Yet in spite of all
these favorable conditions and the pres
ence of such splendid players only about
a thousand dollars was taken in at the
two exhibitions.
Pine Valley Gives $4,000
The third match was played on a
Sunday at Pine Valley and thai club is
by no means as accessible to the lovers
of golf who went either by train OF

North Dakota Improved Seed Grow
ers, and other persons, who have been
cooperating with this Office, should
therefore apply to their County
Agent for field crop inspection Of, any
special fields which they expect to
harvest for seed purposes. AS far
as possible the County Agent will Wis
it your fields and make the inspection
for weeds and diseases. Those wish
ing such inspection should apply at
once to this Office, or direct to your
local County Agent.
In counties in which there are no
county agent the Office of the State
Seed Commissioner will, in 80 far as
possible, send inspectors either to
inspect the grain in the field, in the
shock or in the bin. All those who
claim to have pure or rediaread seed
look at their fields now. Observe
carefully if there are any scattering
heads or admixtures. For instance.
in the Kubanka wheat plots. all heads
of common wheat should be pulled
ont. In the MARQUIS fields all Dur
INNS and bread varieties. etc. This
is suggestion to those who wish tn

business.
ihe office of the State Seed Com
missioner has authority to publish u
list OF those who have saved seed for
sowing purposes. We send that list
to all persons who wish to buy, either
for use or for distribution. We can
not do this unless those who raise
seed take proper steps to put us in
touch with the quality of the seed.
We must know how free it is from
other varieties and from noxious
weeds and disease.
After the seed has been field crop
inspected by the County Agent or by
an inspector from the Pure Food Seed
Laboratory, the next step for the
grower is to carefully harvest the
seed dry so it will maintain its vital
ity. Stack or properly protect that
which is to be sold for seed.
As soon as the grain is threshed
one-half pound of it should be mailed
in to the Pure Seed Laboratory TO,
tests which are necessary to the fina
certifcation and listing. Bags TO,
mailing these samples will be furn
ished on application.
