.GR|D|RON SPORT
IS UNSETTLED
Nothing Definite Announced
Thus Far by Athletic Mentors
of Leading Colleges

Reports from various college sport
centers indicate an unsettled state OF
affairs SO far as football dates are con-
cerned when compared with a SINH
lar period Of the season in normal
years. In past autumns the opening
week of August has found the coaches
and managers with the majority or
their preliminary work finished and
the candidates awaiting the call for
practice. In sharp contrast, the pres
ent month finds some of the colleges
without football trainers OF coaches
and schedules with from two to five
open dates while many others have
yet to decide whether football will be
played or not during the next three
months.
This is particularly true of several
of the more important eastern lnstitu-
lions including Harvard, Yale AMI
Princeton. While there are indications
that football will be resumed ana
these Universities represented on the
gridiron by elevens, nothing definite
has been announced by the athletic
these three it Is likely that 1t will be
upon a restricted scale. Those coli
leges which still support football and
are annual opponents -of Harvard,
Princeton and Yale have prepared
their schedules and unless there
should be cancellation along the IlHe
It Is doubtful If many dates could be
given the big teams so late in d
eeason.
It is presumed that should Prince
ton, Yale and harvard decide to place
teams upon the field this Autumn
they will meet in a sort of round-robin
schedule as was in baseball and track
athletics last Spring. 1t has also been
suggested that the elevens play only
every other Saturday and II this inno-
walton were adopted a few games with
cantonment and service teams could
easily fill out the curtailed schedule.
The revival of the game by the big
three may also have the effect of re-
storing the annual Army-Navy con-
test. Both Annapolis and West Point
will support eievens this season and
each has reserved an open date for
such a match, providing the govern
ment authorities will sanction the
game.

it is fully expected that when the

It is .rumored that Roper was

that Roper may take the posltlon

Test for Ingots

A seemingly hopeless early-season
horizon may change for the lngots
this week and next into a rosy view
of promise and achievement. The
Ingots face their big chance of the
season. If they come through, they
have as much claim to h county
championship as the LEI fellow aud
a little more to boot. Starting with
their twilight game at Camp Morgan
tonight, the local nine will take on
successfully the Hercules Saturday,
Wheelers of Roosevelt next Tuesday
and the Hercules again the following
Saturday.
BY winning from Camp Morgan
tonight they will clinch hat series and
the cup. And If they defeat the Her
cules Saturday, they will have taken
two straight and the series. Even
after losing Saturday, they have a
chance of automatically eliminating
the powder shots from county con-
sideration by winning the following
Saturday. The big affair is really the
Wheelers' game next Tuesday. Each
team has won a game. The Wheelers
are coming down loaded for the oc-
casion. including Aicer Jensen, the
former Ingots' twirler and star port
slider of the Newark Bears. The

competition against county teams this

1888 YOUNG MEN
R ECISTERED FOR
NEXT DRAFT CALL

Hartford, June - Complete re-
turns of the registration of Connect
cut men of 81 years of age were re-
terday afternoon at the governors
office at the State Capitol and showed
that 1888 young men had registered
on registration day.
The grand total falls short of the
national governments advisory esti-
mate of a registration of 10 per cent
of the number registered under the
army draft act in June, 1917. Fol-
lowing the federal estimate as a
guide, Connecticut's registration
would have been between 5000 and
II 1000, but the large number of men
of 81 years of age who voluntarily
enlisted the past year was credited
with being responsible for the reduc-
ed registration total.
Major John Buckley, who is in
charge of the selective service. ma
chinery in this state, reported today
that local exemption boards were be-
ing bombarded with requests by new
registrants for enlistment certificates
so that they might enrer the, national
service Immediately without waiting
for the draft. The major is advising
all boards that these requests cannot
be granted because the new regis
trants have not been provided with
serial numbers and until these are
assigned their registration Is incom-
plete.
