DITTsBURGH, Aug. 2e.--Plans
are rapidly maturing for the
Inauguration of the training
season for the University Of Pitts
burgh football squad at Camp
Hamilton, in the mountains near
Windber, Pa.
The university engineers, who
have been taking their field work
at the camp this summer, deserted
the place last Friday, and it is
now in charge Of "Bill" Robusch
and Milo Gwosden, students, who
are fixing tents, cleaning up and
getting everything in shipshape
for the reception of Coach War
ner's gridders on September 5.
The candidates will mobilize here
the day following Labor Day, and
leave at noon for Windber. although
some of them will go direct to the
camp from their homes. Robusch
is a Pitt track star. He has given
up football to devote his physical
energies entirely TO his track special
ties. Gwosden Is likely end or
tackle candidate for the varsity.
University athletic authorities have
kept In close touch with the candi-
dates during the summer, and have
received word from practically all Of
them that they are in good condition.
Just thirty-six men are eligible, they
being holdovers from last years var
sity and newcomers from the 1921
freshmen.

SUMMER WORK
PUTS MIDDIES
IN GOOD SHAPE
Naval Academy Gets Break on
Other Institutions in Shap-
ing Its Athletes. .
BY HUGH r. RILEY.

A NNAPOLIS, Aug. 26.-The
"a physical and athletic train
4 - ing of the members Of the
ncw class of midshipmen during
the present summer has been
highly successful. The purely
physical benefit is very apparent
in nearly every plebe, while most
of them have been introduced to
sport in a truly competitive way.
The work done with the new
midshipmen during the first sum-
mer is a real advantage to Naval
Academy athletics, offsetting in
no small measure the numerous
advantages which pertain to most
of the colleges which are its ath-
letic rivals. Probably no other in
stitution is able to do so much
with its new material right from
the start.
One of the incidents of the course
IN athletics is the training Of every
midshipman in all usual branches Of
sport, but the plebes are. also given
an opportunity during their first
summer of taking part in actual com.
petitions.
The series of inter-battalion con-
tests in various lines of sport fur
nishes the largest opportunity along
this line. but there have also been
some contests with outside teams in
several branches, namely. baseball,
field and track and rowing.
Head Coach i'm Charge. .s
The squads in nearly every one
Of the sports has been directed by
the regular head coach in that
branch, generally assisted by some
of the graduates who starred In
those branches during their careers
at the academy.
Intense interest was taken In the
inter-battalion contests in the diff
ferent lines, and in practically every
branch the coaches found some con-
testants who promise to make good
as Navy varsity players, II not dur
Ing the coming season, within a
year or two.
Baseball has been directed by En-
sign Miner, who was assistant cUach
last year. and will act In the same
capacity next season. He has been
helped by Lieutenant Calhoun and
sEnsign Baker, former Academy play.
ers. and by John Wilson. The Fourth
battalion won the intra-mural cham.
spionship. and the nine did well In
several games against outside teams.
The most promising players are
Davis, a lefthanded pitcher, and
Ward and Lynch, outfielders. g..
Richard Glendon, the newly ap-
poined rowing coach. has been work.
ing all summer with the newcomers.
After the First Battalion crew had
defeated the Fourth, and the Second
the Third, the winning crews met In
a fine race, the Second winning. A
representative crew was then picked,
and rowed one race. against the
Arundels, of Baltimore. The class
yielded some excellent material In
this line.

POOP! POOP! WRITES O. S. RICH CONCERNING
THE EARTHQUAKES AND STORMS IN CALIFORNIA;
FREEZE THERE NOT A FROST HERE; All! OH, MY!

paper story is like a SNOWFALL; the
farther it goes the more it grows.
One day a man was driving span
of mules and about one hundred
yards from a railroad crossing one
of the mules dropped dead-just as
a train whizzed by. The man who told
about the demise of the mule said
the animal dropped dead near the
crossing The reporter sent the item
to a city paper and when it appeared
in the city paper the story read as
though the mule had died on the
crossing, narrowly escaping being
hit by the train. But writer for a
press association made a real story
out of it. "Just as the mules were
crossing the tracks, one fell dead"
read the story. THE driver seeing
the train approaching dragged the
dead animal off the tracks. The train
missed the mule by foot" And SO
goes the California earthquake and
weather stories. They make good read
ing and the stories sent out from the
Golden Gate state give the newspa-
per readers a new angle on California
weather and earth shocks. No doubt
the coast citizens chuckle and say
it does not hurt California.

but not as serious as first thought.
Now it is raining fast-what we
need. We need the winter rains
here for the summer crops. l see
the Baraboo News tells about the
earthquakes at Los Angeles. That
was the first I had heard Of them.
All there was to it was some of
Uncle Sans big navy guns off the
coast at San Pedro practicing at tar
get. To read the eastern papers one
would think that California was froz-
en- to death. 1t is not the case as yet
or course we had a freeze but moth
ing compared to the eastern freeze
and storms. Of course what we call
a freeze here would not be consid-
cred q frost in the east"

are greatly appreciated.

WISCONSIN FOLK
In CALIFORNIA

Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Bartenbach have

they have been stopping for the past
few months. They are enjoying the
climate very much, although slight
frosts, and heavy rains. were fire.
quent 1t rains quite often at this
time of the year.
They have visited at the Aug. H.
Martin home. Mr. Martin was for
mer Sank County Superintendent of
Schools and is living at Long Beach
where he is principal Of school, Mr..
and Mrs. Martin were surprised to
see the large bungalow truck. They
have been touring in many different
parts in southern California; to Seal
Beach, San Pedro and visited some
large oil fields, also other interest
ing places.
Long Beach is a city where thou
sands of tourists stop from all parts
of the United States. The cost Of
living is very high, rent for an apart
ment being from SIS to $125 a month
for a few small rooms.
Butter is 81 cents a pound, eggs so
cents per dozen; potatoes $3.50 per
100 pounds; flour, 10 cent pound;
and meats are very high. There is no
farming country near there which
probably is the cause Of the high cost
Of living. But 1t certainly is great to
see all the pretty flowers in bloom.
