TWO BIG TEN GRID
COACHES SMILING
Peters Returns to Illinois
and Holman Is Eligible
at Michigan.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, September 1.-TWO
Big Ten foot ball coaches, Bob
Zuppke Of Illinois, and Sam
~ Willaman Of Ohio State, today
had reason to forsake a little
of the traditional training season gloom
Each was better on by the margin Of
"Frosty' Peters having unexpectedly re-
turned to Illinois after being counted
out because of illness, and Allen Hol-
man having been declared eligible for
another year Of competition at the
Buckeye institution.
The return of Peters, drop-kick
star. merely Frightened prospects at
Illinois, where Zuppke already had
plenty of material for every position
except the ends. Holnan's eligibility,
however, was tremendous boon to VILLA
man, who would have been forced to
start his first season without q back
field veteran among his 1s candidates.
Holman's eligibility was questioned be-
cause he had played O season at Par
sons College, Iowa, after which he
transferred successfully to Iowa and
Ohio state. He was regular quarter
back at Ohio State last season and
acting captain in all games.

All camps today faced the opening Of
concentrated training work. Purdue

CORNELL SITUATION
TOUGH, SAYS DOB|E
Scholastic Requirements So
Rigid as to Make Good
EIevens Unlikely.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL.
Associated Press 6ncrts Writer.

r ITHACA. N. Y, September l7.-Any
chance Cornell may have Of lifting
her foot ball teams from the me-
i diocrtty OF the past few seasons to
the commanding position Of old
Big RED" teams rests entirely with the
faculty Of the University on the Hilltop,
In the opinion Of Gilmore Dobie.
"All can do" says the tall lean vet
eran head coach, is turn out foot ball
teams from material that for the most
part hasn't even the ability to be me
diocre. Two-thirds Of the student body
have all they can do to master the prob
lens Of engineering, let alone foot ball.
THE only relief for Cornell foot ball
can come through the faculty. have
no fault to find with the high traditions
and rigid scholastic requirements of
Cornell. but there Is nothing can do
about the situation until something is
done about the burdens and bars on
foot pail men.
with one more back and good ends
I'd have done better last fall Instead Of
losing to Princeton, Dartmouth and
Pennsylvania. There Is little chance for
Improvement unless I develop these
men this year. Cornell hasn't had a
real good back since George Pfann, Ed
die Kaw and Cassidy.
Material Is plentiful, but lacking in
foot ball players. The number Of fresh
man prospects who never reach the var
Sity because Of studies is surprising.
Most Of my teams are built Of former
freshman substitutes. They are slow,
lack foot ball instinct. We couldn't stop
Penn's passing attack last Fall because
We couldn't get to the ball carriers fast
enough. not because we didn't know
passes were coming and where"
There is nothing In the appearance Of
Cornells squad to belittle Dobie's state
ments. He has many men, but few out
standing. from last seasons line. The
strongest part OF the eleven, he has lost
by graduation all regulars but Sam
Wakeman. 170-pound captain and
tackle. The most hopeful part of the
situation Is a fair grade Of sophomore
material and better class Of freshmen
for next Fall. The graduate commit
tee of II" organized to find out what
was wrong with Cornell foot ball, has
not yet reported publicly.
The Cornell backheld shouldshow con-
siderable improvement. Howard john
son of Charleston, w. Va, Is q veteran
quarterback, rugged, full of fight and a
good passer. Cornish, guard with last
years freshmen. may be q find at full
back along with Stevens. q sophomore
halfback. Davies, another promising
youngster: Scott. Pasquelicchio, Hoh-
man, Morey and Maurice johnson are
veterans.

NALLY JOINS GRID
SQUAD AT EASTERN

While Eastern High Schools grid
hopes went soaring with the return Of
Capt. -elect Tom Nally, who showed up
for his first skirmish on the school
field, the prospects at Central and Nc
Kinley were taking on an even deeper
shade Of gloom than first EMBODIED the
spirits of Coaches Rauber and Hardell.
Nally'S return to the Blue and White
line in Lincoln Park gave that team q
high veteran average for the series-10
experienced men back in the line.
On the other hand. at Central and
Tech the veterans not only are few and
far between, but the new material
seems in need of lot Of drilling before
it can At in anywhere. Coach Rauber
reported that his plans for tentative
first-string had gone by the board as a
result Of yesterdays thoroughly I'M
satisfactory workout on the home field.
He has but two regulars back to form
the nucleus Of his eleven. Several
others. however. who might have been
regulars last year, but for their scholas-
tic standing-or rather lack Of it--are
hopeful prospects. if they can snap out
of the slump that seemed to have
gripped them yesterday. he declared.
Among these prospects are Orella. Pink
ney Hinkle, Elcholtz and the two st..
Johns brothers.
Laying some Of the trouble to too
much action, Rauber decided last night
that hereafter one workout would be
days limit for his gridmen.
Hardell at Mckinley has some good
raw material IL he can hammer it into
shape in time for the opening Of the
series.
Emerson Institute prospects were put
through their PAGES at the Tidal Basin
yesterday by Coach Irving Sanborn. who
sounded an optimistic note at the con-
clusion Of the drill. despite the fact that
registrations tnterfered with a full at
tendance, cutting the number in uni
form to II.

Fort defeated Tallmadge, So to
IS, Al to 81 and 81 to IS, but the
scores give little indication of the
nature Of the contest. To win the
deciding skirmish Fort made the
most sensational recovery Of the
entire metropolitan tournament.
in which many hundreds of
matches have been played by a
total Of approximately 5000 con-
testants.
The score stood 81 to 2 against him
before Fort made an astonishing recov-
cry. At o moment when he appeared
doomed to defeat and Tallmadge was
coasting- along serenely, Fort got start
ed with double ringer. and In each Of
the five innings Immediately following
he rung the peg to wipe out Tallmadge's
lead.
Double Header Helps.
It was noble effort. but seemed all In
vain, when Tallmadge for the second
time drew away to a commanding mar
gin. The score was 81 to IS against
him when Fort recovered the range once
more. His uphill climb this time was
almost . duplication of the first. In
seven consecutive innings he had
ringer, and at q critical moment he
threw a double header. This tied the
score at 81 points.
Tallmadge fought on courageously. but
Fort was MEMORABLE. He had become a
smooth-functioning machine. trans
formed from a disorganised, well spent
performer. He tossed a ringer and got
q close shoe to finish the string, So

The triumph gave Washington q

tableness. Peake appeared outclassed

running as though to take the ball.
Note how the spinner Is evidently
preparing to hand 1t to hilp.
In the next sketch down fEAnn the
top, the third one, we find tAathack
who was presumably to take the
ball running without 1t, but taking
possession Of it. The ball itself is
now tucked into the tummy of the
spinner, completely concealed from
the view of all opponents. The
crouch of the spinner Is even low
er. He Is thus hiding himself be-
hind the two struggling rush lines
from the defensive backs. The lat
ter are supposed to be chasing tire
back who hasn't the ball.
In the sketch Of the spinner at
the bottom the truth is out. Again
he has pivoted half way around. He
now faces the defense. He pauses a
moment to pick an opening that has
been made. Into 1t he plunges with
all fury. There Is no hurry on mis-
part to get going. He waits for the
opening.
