Al Penn Sta.e

STATE COLLEGE, Penn. Sept. 2l.--
Preliminary football practice was
started this week at Pennsylvania State
with every expectation Of playing out
the schedule arranged. While the sit
uation Is chaotic because of the un-
certainty as to military drill require
ments and classroom work. the athletic
authorities are determined to put a
team on the field.
Since the War Department has placed
the direction of all physical education
activities in the hands of the military
commandants at the S. A. r. c. in
stltutions, Penn State has reason to
rejoice. Major James Bayles, the local
commander, already has given assur-
ance OF his support of intcrcolie giate
athletics, and he has announced his
determination to see that football is
encouraged here
His attitude has been a boon to Hugo
Bezdek, States new director of physi-
cal education and athletics. The for
mer Pacific Coast gridiron expert was
disheartened for a time over the
the elite football circles of the East.
SO far the daily practice periods
have given him just thirteen eiigibles
and handful of freshmen recruits.
The latter are still under the one-year
ban at State College. With more than
l,100 freshmen registered for admit
tance to college when it reopcns
Wednesday, there will be a goodly
amount of prospective varsity timber
unavailable for the first team. Bezdek.

between the elevens of the naval and
military academies will be played.
The academy management wishes to
procure games for November 16 and
%, and for the I'd also, if Reserve can
not play Of course, West Point will
be played on the 23d, if permission is
obtained.s If not. the strongest team
rrocurable will be brought to Annap-
OILS tor a season closer. Upon whether
or not the Army game is played, will
depend the character Of opponents
which will be sought for November 2
ard 16. AS strong a team as possible
certainly will be sought for the earlier
date, in any event, but the management
will not risk the team against too
strong an opponent, should it be neces-
sary to play the Army a week later.
Some of the strong teams in Pennsyl-
vania may have dates open due to
reorganization of schedule, while sew
eral of the strongest service teams will
be within easy distance
Match Unopposed by Chiefs
There are increasing hopes that the
game between the academies will be
upon the initiative of the Secretaries
OF War and Navy. 1t is understood
that there is no antagonism to the
game In official quarters. but merely
the instence that it shall not be
allowed to interfere with military
training.
Football has gone on for years at
Annapolis and West Point under these
conditions, and the game can be played
IN New York without keeping the mid
snlpmen and cadets away from their
stations for more than a part of full
day, which will be Saturday.
ln2 number of candidates for tho
different positions and the spirit put
into their work by both the old and
new men are greatly encouraging. The
losses oy graduation are substantial,
including Martin, fullback; Won Helm
berg, end; Goodstein, centre, and
Schildh.auer, guard. yet there is fine
connection for each position. Thus. a
splendid backfeld could be formed at
once from Ingram, Butler. Roberts and
Whelchel, of last years squad, but such
excellent newcomers as Rawlings. Sew
ern and Alvord make the final arrange
ment most doubtful At centre. Foster

squad, have found worthy competitor

Schedule Almost Complete
Balance Depending on
Army Game Fate

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 21.-The past
week has given Coach Dobie of the
Naval Academy football squad the best
opportunity he will have during the
present season of putting in hours with
mis- charges. Those of last years squad
who still are midshlpmen gave UP a
week of their short leave in order to
give football fair start and rcporte d
on the first day or two Of the week.
AS they are not yet under the strict
Naval Academy routine, Dobie has been
able to have them to himself whenever
ne wished, and he has required morn
ing and afternoon session of them. He
has also kept the big squad of fourth
class men intact and devoted himsel
to them later IN the afternoon. Mon
day the regular order of things begins
ana only the short recreation periods
can be devoted to football.
NO great change in the schedule or
any OF the Incidents Of the season is
expected. Arrangements were made
strictly in accord with the wishes Of
the Navy Department, and any changes
are likely to be from outside rather
than from the service. 1t is under
stood that Western Reserve, which was
booked 20 play at Annapolis on Novem-
Der :, will abrogate football this sea-
son, but there is no reason to believe
that any of the other games, which oc
cupy the Saturdays from October 5 to
November 9, inclusive, will be changed
In fact, the management of Colbv.
which Will have to make the longest
trip of all the midshipmen's oppo-
nents, has written to say that the game
will be played.
Hopes for Service Classic
AS matter of fact, the developments
Of the past week in regard to football
may greatly increase the interest in
the sport at the Naval Academy. and
have, in the opinion of some, made it
more likely that the great annual game

English Winner

With only a few big events of the
English racing season to be decided,
those who make a business of gath
erlng statistics have already begun to
classify the winning sres, owners and
Jockeys. AS might naturally be ex-
pected, the grand totals in all depart
ments of the turf will be away below
those of former years on account of
the war and the limited schedule that
was long anticipated.
The list Of winning sires has been
the hrst to come in for recognition,
and unless something very much un-
1oreseen takes place the dead sire
Bayardo, owned by A. B. Cox, will head
the string with total of $52,125, fig
ures which are sure to be increased, as
Gansborough, his top notch get of this
season, is sure to do something in the
Jockey Club Stakes and the substitute
tor the St. Leger.
1t is noticeable that Spearmint, the
sire of Johren, Harry Payne Whitney's
great three-year-old, has gained no
nearer the top than twenty third place,
and with the moderate sum of $7.1SO.
Had it been possible to have added the
winnings Of Johren on this side of the
"".0i W OPedIIniut s COtal ne would be
giving the leaders a chase for first
place. but only the winnings of horses
IN England are included in the list.
Bayardo's Place Secure
Sun Star, sire of Sun Briar, has
landed in second place, with a. total of
S47, ,025. but as none of his children are
likely for the big things to come he
Will hardly catch the leader.

ured the biggest number of wins is
credited to Dick Croker's Orby, which
came to a sudden end some months
ago. He is in sixth position, with a.
total of $23,050, but as he has few
smart youngsters in action just now
he is liable to climb little higher ere
the season closes.
