NAVY SQUAD HOLDS ITS
 FIRST GRIDIRON WORK
Tentative ii to be Picked by Sat,r- day-Amherst Will Have Light
 Team This Fall.

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 19.-Football practice at the Naval Academy got under way yesterday afternoon. Some of the 40 veterans from last years squad had been on the scene for sev- eral days and others, who had been on months vacation, arrived yes terday.
 The late corners will be put through a good deal of elementary tactics in order to catch up with the earlier ar rivals, and Couch Folwell hopes to have a tentative varsity in shape by Saturday to engage in a scrimmage against the strong freshmen outfit, which has been at work for the last two weeks.
 Perhaps one of the first problems which Folwell and his assistants will tackle is that of filling the gap in the backfield due to the graduation of Win Conroy last June. Conroy is here as an assistant coach. The oth- CT regular backs are Steve" Barchet of Maryland Shaggy" Cullen of Washington and Ira Mckee.

Main Avenue High School and West
Texas Military Academy have ar
ranged TO meet mt Schwab Field at
4 80 Friday afternoon in basket

meet st. Anthony's College. proyid
ing st. Anthony's defeats Wesleyan

IL st. Anthony's is eliminated from
the fight Wednesday, the Friday
Main-West Texas contest will deter
mine the division which will meet the
champion of Division "B." in which
breckenridge High School is leading.
Main High is hopeful of winning
out in Section "a" in order to get
another crack at Breckenridge High
which recently beat Main twice by
close scores for the city high school
title. Main defeated st. Anthony's
in the first round of league play AMI
then lost the second game by one
point. The two West Texas contests
were also divided. Main Tfeated
Wesleyan twice. however, while, in nm
exhibition game last Saturday Yves
leyan beat West Texas. This encour-
ages Mains hopes for Saturday. Main
High followers believe they have a
championship team but one that plays
into hard luck. They cite the fact
that three school games and one con-
test with an army team have been
lost by one point.

long in advance and a great deal of
it has already been done this year.
The idea of coming home-runs was
virtually abandoned simply because
it is a plan which would need moro
concurrence than the league found
manifest here. The National League
frowned on it and the minors are not
overly enthusiastic as their stands and
grounds are not all of them adapted to
rules which might be best in the
major leagues.
Eddie Collins was present at the
meetings and at the luncheon to old
ball players, writer's and owners.

expectedly bodied up with Roger
RreSnahan. president Of the Toledo

club owners went into session. The
association, as body. voted in oppO-
sition to the draft ut the annual meet
ing in Louisville. in December. Presi-
dent Hickey said a two-thirds vote
would be necessary to restore it, add
ing that a majority was opposed TO

16S games we're submitted to the club
owners for consideration. The sea-
SON will open either April is or 10,
a week later than usual, and close
October Z. The schedule favored by
majority of the club owners will be
adopted. Both schedules, President
Hickey said, provide for the clubs
in the western half of the league to
open the season in the four eastern
cities.
