Pleases Coaches Of Big
Ten" Who Plan Practice

CHICAGO, Sept. Satisfaction
was expressed by football coaches
throughout the Western conference to-
night with the War Departments stand
in favor of the continuation of inter
collegiate athletics and its statement
ing Of the 1918 football schedules in
stead of demanding their abandon
ment.
A. A. Stagg, Of the University Of
Chicago, announced he would start the
practice season on Monday, and that
other coaches in the "big ten" were
planning on launching the practice sea-
son nexI week.
"I think | voice the sentiments of
every coach in the country when I say
VIC will teach football this fall for
Uncle Sam without having the big de-
sire to win foremost in our minds"
said Coach Stage. Our first thoughts
will be to get the men in physical
condition, teach them to think and act
quickly and show them the best way
of charging and blocking.
"Team play in football corresponds
to the unity of attack in the army.
think playing the game will make our
men better officers After football
player mixes in few scrimmages fear
leaves him, and he learns how to fight
not only against an individual but
against masses"
The University of Chicago schedule
will be carried out as originally
planned, but Coach Stagg said it was
probable that Minnesota and one or
two other universities in the confer
ence would be obliged to cancel sew
eral games which would require long
trips.

by James W. McClelland's sensational

eligible to-day. But all the other good
youngsters that appear to have ghost
OF chance have been entered, and un-
less the elements interfere the major
lty of them doubtless will go to the

Public favor this afternoon is likely
to be pretty evenly divided between

scored easily both in heavy going and
over fast track. Dunboyne. game race

of 127 pounds with Star Hampton, and
so will have to concede eight pounds
to Purchase, which means something
over the six furlongs straight course.

mand due respect as Hannibal and
Thunder Storm will carry the old gold
and green of the president Of the
Saratoga Racing Association. Harry
Payne Whitney's Pigeon Wing is not
to be overlooked, either, despite the
loor race of Thursday. Every two
year-old in the field has shown enough
this season to give it chance for the
big prize. And as the race at six
furlongs is to be run over the straight
