The first meeting of the Morning
side Heights football warriors will take
place three weeks before the firsf game.
which will be staged with ursinus. an
opponent that has never been met be-
tore, Saturday, September 80. There is
a feeling up at Columbia that the local
team is behind time; not that the stu
dents think the squad should have been
ordered to report, say, tomorrow or
Tuesday, but the fact that spring grid
workouts, supposed to have begun early
IN April for six weeks session, were
cancelled on account of failure to get
Baker Field ready for practice.
Although eight men who won varsity
"Cs" last fall, two who were awarded
"fcts"' and a couple of good subs will
pe missing, ten varsity &c" men and
four 'fCt" men will be available, not
to mention few others and eight
freshmen, six of whom won their nu-
merals in football.
The varsity &c" men invited by
Graduate Manager Robert w. Watt to
report week from tomorrow are the
following: Bob Burts, back; w. Glib,

bids for places on the varsity are; j.
J. Donaldson, halfback; Saieni, half
back; r. v. Burke, halfbaek; Captain
Eddie Fischer, tackle; James G. Meyers,
end, and Larry Tiihonen, center, Two
other excellent prospects from the 1925

tended invitations are; Roderick, for
mer Boston College star haifback, who
worked out with the Blue and White

Commerce High School eleven several
years ago; Echevarria, quarterback OF
the 1924 freshman team; Puzen and

last year, although only freshman,
