STANDS COLLAPSE AT GRID CONTEST

EAsToN. Pa, Sept. 29-Ten per- sons were painfully injured, some of them seriously, and scores of others suffered bruises and other minor wounds when the central sec tion of the west stands collapsed at March field here during the LaFay- ette- -Muhlenburg football game here this afternoon
 Shortly after the game started La Fayette scored twice and the fans rose to their feet in wild cheer. It's echoes had scarcely died out when the stands sagged in the middle and with loud crash. pierced by shrieks of the crowd, crumbled in heap. Three hundred persons were hurled to the ground as time keepers blew their whistles calling a halt in the game.
 Slightly injured were given first aid treatment, five more seriously in- jured were rushed to the Easton hospital and five others who received painful, if not dangerous wounds, were taken to their homes.
 After 20 minutes the game was re- sumed.

UNIVERSITY HIGH GETS UNDER WAY
 WITH FAIRFIELD
Reynolds Clan SCrimmageS Jefferson County
 High

With the first game of the season a week in the offing, Coaches George Reynolds and sam Caldwell are pre- pairing to put their University High charges through strenuous workouts during the coming week. Fairfield High, another prep outfit playing it's first season of the gridiron sport, will be the opponents of the Univer- sity High eleven, making an even proposition for the two new entries in their initial debut upon the grid iron.
 Several scrimmages featured the work of the Reynolds clan during the past week, climaXed by g hard scrim- mage with the Jefferson County Wildcats Friday afternoon. The workout with the Jefferson county high outfit brought out the inexperi- ence of the squad, although the elev- en worked well for their first time under fire.
 The eleven to start against the Wildcats in the early season scrim- mage was composed of Housman and Gray, ends; Well and Arnold, tac- les; Kronenberg and Wood. guards; Rubel and McLin composing the backfield. This is not the definite lineup to represent the universities for the season by any means, but served as starter. Proctor Bar nett, a lanky lad who has been try on the hospital list, but should round into shape for the initial kick off During the fracas, the coaches worked the entire squad TriInoi, Tan ner, Brothers and Fiorella doing line duty while Alexander substituted in the backfield
 The scrimmage with the Wildcats brought out the fact that the line of the University High outfit needs strengthening, as the Jefferson elev- en pounded that sector for good gains at times The rather light forward wall with practically no experience will need several battles under fire to begin functioning properly.
 The offense in scrimmage was somewhat weak due to the ineffec- tive interference offered by the backs but this ought to be remedied bT further work. Mccoy, calling sig nals, seems to run the team well. while Grabin showed effectively In carrying the ball. Two forward passes. Grabin to Mccoy, featured the offensive work for the afternoon.
 Several-1ads displayed good work on defense. Joe Housman, who has been worked in both backfield and line, seems to be in his right place at end. Well saw service both at tackle and in the backfield. Housman, Kronen- berg and Grabin displayed the best form in defensive work. John Gray was handicapped by bad ankles, while Dan Hillman has been on the sick list for several days.
 The University High clan will stage another scrimmage with the hefty Wildcats on Avondale field Tuesday afternoon. their own squad being too small to hold scrimmage among themselves. With some scrimmage work Wednesday, this will put the universities on edge for their initial gridiron struggle.
 The lack of experience is the most serious handicap of the new prep eleven, none of the prospective can didates for the team having ever played on a high school combination. However, hard work may bring them in good shape for their first kick off

SIMPSON TO OPEN FRIDAY IN GAME AT HUEYTOWN HI
Opening Lineup For Game Is Still Uncertain
 So Far

w lIH lue IlFbl game or the season one week away Simpson looked good in the scrimmage with Fairfield Fri day, showing a good backfield with a fairly good line at the beginning of the season.
 The first game will be on foreign ground. the Techsters playing Huey- town on their field Although few of the members of the Simpson squad have played with the Purple Tornado at any previous time the squad Is largerly a squad of veterans, many of the Simpson players having been some years service with other com binations.
 It is too early in the season, at the present time, to pick the opening team, but all indications are that 1t will be composed of Lewis, center; Cunningham and Berry, guards; New man Hickman and Goodner, tackles; quarter; the Vincent brothers, AL bert and Charles, halves, and Bill Hickman, full. Other probable back field men are McLane, Mills, Ed Smith, and Roberts and the three most probable linesmen substitutes are Aldrich, Graham and Adams.
 The team worked together well during the scrimmage Friday and with few additional work -outs dur ing the next week they should be in excellent condition for the opening game and after the first real game some important developments are ex- pected from the squad.
 A number of scrimmages have been held since the opening of practice, but the one on Friday was the first with an outside team and offered tho best opportunity for judging the squad.
 shadow of gloom was cast over the Simpson supporters a few days eleven, broke an arm in one of the early scrimmages of the week. Stearnes was one of the most valu- able men on the team and his loss will be felt in that position although Coach Neese hopes to fill the open- ing satisfactorily with Lewis, who has shown up well during the crim- images of the past few days.
 Simpson faces a number of hard games during the season, playing several of the strongest teams in the state and Coach Neese and Assistant Coach Dick Webb are rapidly whipping the squad into shape for the opener, Friday With practice six days a week and with a fairly early start the Purple Tornado of the gridiron should be in a favorable position for a good showing during the season.
 Practice is being held on the ath- letic field in the new city park, just off the school campus. while Munger Bowl Is being enlarged and improved.
 A feature of the athletic work at Simpson during this season is a midget gridiron aggregation which is having regular practice and it is planning a number of local games during the next few weeks. This gives an opportunity r the develop ment of many of the younger stu dents of the school and football IS proving a popular outdoor enter tainment with many of the boys of the first semesters as well as with the older students.
 More than fifty candidates have reported for the two squads or more than one third of the entire student body, exclusive of co-eds. This sup port given speaks well for the spirit of the school and 1t is in this spirit which goes far toward making a suc> cessful team.
