Localized Skull Cracking
Starts Tomorrow All
Over Country
By DAVIS ]. WALSH


NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Now
seems to be the time for all good
garroters to come to the aid Of
the jolly old Alma mater. The
business of legalized skull crack
ing will begin tomorrow with the
official opening of the 1925 foot
ball season and q pleasant time
viii be had by some.
The movement will be nation
wide as they say in political ora
tions. notable exceptions being few
but important. The big three VIII
not indulge in the pastlme at this
premature moment. Neither will
the big ten of the Western confer
ence. Both have decided to graf
ifv the inhabitants on the follow
ing Saturday.
However. the rest Of the country
iz not so reticent. Notre Dame
r.Iifornia. Stanford, Georgia Tech,
Eaanns,,Ivania. Dartmouth, Cornell,
@eiurobia Tuland, Vanderbilt, TEX
ss I.afavette, Pittsburgh, Syracuse.
Msrouette. Brown, Georgia ana
.tS,ers are down in the books ror
q break from the barrier.
Notra Danes effort against
RayIor viii be of particular lnIer-
go because R0ckne's team prOIn-
ises to be just an ordinary OUT
re for the first time IN yn'
The alI-star backfie!d OF Ir9Mies.
- ,,aased with nineteen other
r@Ner men and it Is no longer
Hlac time In Indiana.
s.1ifornia's inaugural with santa
r-,era also has the boys peerlns
S.-nySlv toward the west coast oW
re- 70 the report that the SUPPOSED
Victim may turn out TO De an chy
.ec,,ndrel who uses a GOLD orlck
hsFind the ear. The bears haven
LET = game since Taft made the
featberweight limit and propaoio
have the finest material IN tne
country. However, Santa Lar 10
aid to be literally loaded TOT D "a
and anything can happen ia the
early season. I par.
Ten years ago, when johnny De-
rett ran wild, Pittsburgns gaIe
with Washington and Lee H 81
heve nroyed too ambitious at tnis
1fare of the proceedings, but Pitt
q believed to have bobbed up with
= tvpical Panther team and little
a. known of w. and L.; therefore
n NAV be assumed that TINS one
IN in the bag.
60 also. ia Stanford's contest
With the Olympic Club; Pennsyi-
vania's opening game with OrSinus
and the annual business OF the
Syracuse warm-up against Hobart.
Cornell and Dartmouth, both short
on experienced material. also are
believed to have picked a couple
of dead ones in Susquehanna and
Norwich, respectively, while Column
bia looks for little opposition from
Haverford.
PENNSYLVANIA, taking on the
most rigorous schedule I'm the
history of eastern football, Is
much further advanced than any
other team in this section and
probably will run right over
UrSinus, The team Is being
pointed toward the Yale game
next month and is almost ready
now.
Browns schedule is no velvet
pin cushion either. The Providence
entry, however, seems 10 nave
found itself a "breather" tomorrow
the Rhode Island State game.
So have Lafayette and Penn State
with Muhlenburg and Lebanon
Valley. respectively.
Possibly the best southern contest
will involve Georgia and Mercer,
although little is known about the
latter in this section. Georgia
Tech, with Wyckoff still rampeg ing,
probably will just about discontinue
Ogiethorpe and what Vanderbilt
should do to Murfreesboro depends
upon the imagination. The rest
Of the southern field also seems to
be away to very smooth going.
