Football Eating Next

ihere doesn't seem any reason to believe that the
proposed new draft law will eliminate coegate foot
ball. Football will be played this year. the main diff
terence being that it will be played by those much
younger than we have to regard as true varsity
material
The first call for candidates at Annapolis brought
out one hundred men and it is evident that Gil Dobie
IS making ready to repeat his startling successes Of
A9lf. Yale and Princeton believed to favor
resumption OF football rather the abandonment of
the informal idea Every college in the East that had
an eleven on the field last year may be counted upon o
continue the sport: Football, in a war sense is being
recommended more than baseball as a method of con-
dltloning, and it is prime sport among our canton
ments.
The style ,- the game will be identified with that
OF 1917 in which the Rutgers team tutored bv Foster
Sanford, represented the best type of offensive and do
fenslve play we happened to see compact solid
bullt attack patterned after old style football varied
by open play, deception and long passes provides all
that is essential to class and success
Football had smashing good season last wear xhen
the mind of the undergraduate was much taken nm hv
war ana the outlook for the sport dubious The same
measure OF success greatly enhanced by even more
vice games than in 1917, will be had this year

Taylor, l78, played tackle for Pawlng

Among the candidates for end are
Woodruff, 1862, University Of Buffalo;
the Columbia freshmen last season;
Afford and Clark, both we'll built lads
with experience on good preparatory
elevens.
Though Dobie leans to backfield men
with considerable ight. generally not
less than l65 pounds there is plenty
Of material for these positions among
the new men. Included are several
with experience on good college teams
and many who learned the game with
school teams: Rawlings played quar-
ter, On the; University Of Cincinnati
ford was back on the University Of
Pennsylvania squad, and Carter war
fullback at Denson College Butter
played in the backfeld for University
of California freshmen. Richards, ls7
was plunging back on prep school
teams.
The main squad will report about
September 20, and by that timo Dobie's
eagle eye should have lighted upon
quite a number Of youngsters in the
entering class who viii be assigned TO
the big squad. Prospects are very
bright for strong team, and it needs
only the likelihood Of playing the game
against the Military Academy to make
1913 one Of the biggest football sea-
sons In the history Of the Naval Acad-

Best Harness Meeting Since
Open Betting Days
By Frank S. Cooke

Poughkeepsie, where trotters and
PAGERS have put up some notable scraps
in years agone, is the scene this week
of the Grand Circuit activities, and
since the days of open betting in New
York State this looks to be the best
meeting the harness racers provided
for entertaining votaries of their sport.
There is great deal of credit due
the old oval for the part it has played
in racing. Time and again the eastern
end Of the Grand Circuit has been very
shaky, and but for the loyalty Of a
galaxy of New York and Poughkeepsie
sportsmen it must have come q cropper.
At very few, if any, of these meetings
was money made by the management,
but the promoters figured it a duty
and let it go at that. But with good
weather this week it should be a sue
cessful affair from all angles.
In the first place, the stakes which
