student studies, he must have some
all he needs. I firmly believe that tf
eleven this fall than in years.
Penn Will Have Team
DEM will have a team on the field
and Bob Folwell will be head
coach. Folwell virtually is working
for nothing, but is willing to do his
bit and accepted the cut in salary
without a murmur. He showed
generous spirit, which has been ap-
preciated by the students and alumni
A regular schedule has been arranged
and all of the best teams will be
played. Swarthmore, Lafayette, Pitts.
burgh, Dartmouth. Georgia Tech anc
Cornell are on the list, and football
will have plenty of opportunity to
witness high-class play.
The University of Pittsburgh is
planning for a good season, as many
of the stars are enrolled either in the
medical or dental schools and will
be available. McLaren, the greatest
fullback in the country for the last
two years. is captain. Tom Ready
will have a good team at LehiSh, as
that university is one of the best en-.
gineering schools in the country and
there should be no scarcity of stu
dents.
Dick Harlow will have complete
charge of the team at Penn State,
and judging from reports it will be
a good one. Dave Morrow, the new
coach at Washington and Jefferson,
expects a successful season. and the
University Of Virginia. which re.
Gently sprung into prominence, has
one Of the hardest schedules in years.
Everything points to great year
on the gridiron. and the doubtful ones
had better fall in line before 1t Is
too late.
THE freshman rule, however, must
/ be forgotten this fall. The sue
cess of collegiate athletics depends on
the new men, and as most OF the Old
athletes are in the service the incom-
ing class OF war workers must furnish
the talent. For the duration OF. the
war l believe the bars should be let
down for the benefit OF all concerned.
A Few Pointers
VITHILE we are on the subject Of
w football 1t might be well to brush
up on the rules. No big meeting was
held this year, but some changes
were made at the suggestion Of
Walter Camp. There are only few,
however, and can be remembered with
little difficulty. Take this out and
paste it in your hat:

. cate aoith any member Of his
team until after one play has been
made unless he takes the place of
the man Uho icds giving the signals.

Echoes of the Past
TT WAS twenty-eight years ago this
L month that Cy Young. the greatest
pitcher of all time. broke into big
league baseball, He lasted twenty
two years, when he retired to his
farm. .s -
Cy pitched three no-hit games IN
, his career. the first in 1897 and the
last in 1908. His greatest feat. now
ever. was in 1904. when he pitchei
twenty-three innings of hitless ball
and retired sixty-eight batters in sue
cession. No pitcher ever has equaled
this feat. He also pitched forty-f7e
innings. or five full games. without
being scored upon.
