Williams Men Hopeful
Over Football Outlook

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, Sept g.
Despite the loss of Benny Boynton.
who is rated as the greatest football
player who ever attended the college
here, Williams's outlook on the grid
iron for the coming season is far from
discouraging. A number of varsity
men besides Boynton were lost bv
graduation last fall, but good nucleus
remains.
A fairly strong line from tackle to
tackle should be found when the SQUAD
reports. Captain Fargo will hold down
his old tackle position, while Charlie
boynton, younger brother of Benny.
will be back for center. Laws. Shut,
tleworth and Humes are three husky
linemen who received varsity expert
ence year ago. Caravan is the only
end Of much prowess who will be back.
Behind the line Richmond is expected
to prove valuable man this year.
Mallon, w. Burger, Montgomery and
Wilson are other varsity backs who
will return.
Besides Boynton, the Williams team
lost quite few varsity performers by
graduation last June. The list includes
Smith at guard, Lasell at tackle, Fulle
at guard, N. Burger, Joslyn and Cod
ding at end and Mclean and Hibbard
in the backfe!d.

Mrs. Molla Bjursted Mallory, ma
tlonal champion, retained the cham

at Cedarhurst by defeating Mrs. Ed
ward Raymond, of Hartsdale, N. Y, in
the final round yesterday by score
OF 6-3, 6--3.
The doubles match, which went to
three sets, was won by Mrs. Rawson L.
Wood and Mrs. Charles V. Hitchins,
who defeated Mrs. Edward Raymond
and Mrs. Fullerton Weaver, 6-1, 6-S,
SIS.
In the singles match Mrs. Raymond
put up splendid but hopeless fight
against the greater speed and power of
the champion. Mrs. Mallory was the
aggressor, but her opponent pressed
her hard by her wonderful placements
The champion was often forced to the
back court, but rushed in to finish off
her points with well-played volleys.
Mrs. Raymond proved very strong
in the opening set, which she lost at
6-3. Mrs. Mallory's steadiness was
too great for her opponent in the Sec
ond. hut Mrs. Raymond managed to
score several times by accurate place
ments.
The doubles match furnished some
thrilling tennis between the rival teams.
The winning pair of Mrs. Wood and
Ms. Hitchins literally swept away their
opponents, Mrs. Raymond and Mrs.
Weaver, in the first set, but the losers
made a brilliant rally and forced the
next two sets into extra games.
After losing the first set, is, Mrs.
Raymond and Mrs. Weaver scored brill
liantly in the second, winning out.
SIS. after practically all the games
had gone to deuce. The net play of
Mrs. Weaver was at its best in this
second set, while Mrs. Raymond helped
admirably by her backcourt play.
Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Kitchens stead
led perceptibly in the third and decid-
ing set, but their opponents forced the
contest into extra games Mrs. Wood
and Mrs. Htchins carried the game
to their opponents by brilliant play
at the net and finally won out, 8-6.

Professional Soccer Facing
Greatest Crisis of Its Career
American League Plans
Fight to Place Sport on

"To be or not to be, that is the ques-
ton" Soccer football as a profess
sional sport for the fall and spring
period not available to baseball is
about to enter the crucible. The kick
ing games possibilities as a major at-
traction are to be tested this winter
as never before, and should the big
scale venture now under way fail to

The American Soccer League, organ
lied by Thomas W. Cahill, Of New York

soccer's governing body, is the medium
of this staunchest fight to put soccer
on what its American supporters be-
lieve to be its proper plane.
Franchised and encouraged by the

Penn State Rallies
To Rebuild Team
For Cridiron PLAY
Coaches Face Big Problem,
as Seven of Last Years
Star Players Are Missing

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Sept. g.
The husky Penn State gridiron war
riors have once more donned their
moleskins. About thirty-fve men have
reported to Coaches BezGek, Harlow
Hermann and Martin, included in the
number being about q dozen members
OF last years strong freshman squad.
-Four regulars are back on the Job this
fall and the rest of the aggregation is
composed of last years substitutes.
Seven of last years star players
have been lost, which means that Bez-
dek must practically rebuild his en-
tire team. Captain Smell, at fullback,
and Hillinger, quarterback, will form
the nucleus for the backfeld, while
Hufford should be vastly improved
man at end. He did not win his berth
until the Nebraska game last year, but
from that time on the lanky West Vir-
glnian came fast and he should. be
strong wingman this fall. Bentz, the
stocky center, whose greatest asset Is
his ability to pass accurately at all
times, is also back in the fold
That new line promises to furnish
the biggest problem for the coaches.
and the old reliable Dick Harlow will
have his hands full to develop a set Of
forwards to cope with Lehigh, Harvard.
georgia Tech, Carnegie Tech, Navy and
Pitt. There are sixteen linemen in the
squad that has assembled for early
practice, but very few of them have
had any experience on the varsity.
Kay Baer, letter man, at tackle last
year, should have all the qualifications
OF good lineman this fall, and he is
being strongly figured for a regular.
MADEIRA, the star of the freshman line
last fall, is another man who is ex-
pected to make good at tackle berth.
Bedenk, Hills, Logue, Mcmahon, Muir
ray, Roeder, Ashenfelter, Rugh, Hamil-
ten. Bair, Runser, Armbruster and
Singer make up the squad of forwards
from whom the coaches must develop
an aggressive line. The preliminary
work until the opening game, with
Lebanon Valley on September "a, will
be largely in the nature of a wedding
out process and it is doubtful if Beg
dek will pick a definite lineup until
after that game.
In the backfeld squad there is
hnc lot of material, but no one to re-
place those famous broken-field run
ners Charlie Way and Hinkie Haines.
Ritner and Carson will alternate with
Klllinger at quarterback, while Light
ner, Redinger, Hess, Knabb, Parsons.
Cornwall. Patton, Palm and Wilson
round out the squad. More candidates
are expected to report after the OPEN
ing of college on the 14th.

among those who will be used in the
early season workouts. 1t is expected
that after college opens on September
FL there will be at leas. 100 men in
the squad.
Prospects are excellent for a good
season, and Sanford is confident that
this year Rutgers will come back to its
old place on the gridiron. Coach San
ford will personally direct each days
practice this year and no regular as
sistants have been engaged. From time
to time former stars will return to
coach men for individual positions
