B. W. maxwell joohed j0r. The South
rrners have been pract clng since August
II, are In good physical condition and hao
perfected their team play. It might be said
that they nre In better shape than Penn at
this1 time. Folwell, however, Is working tho
Red and Blue squad very hard and should
have the players In fairly decent shape
when the referee's whistle opens hostilities.
Pnn Una Hard Luck
Penn has had her share of hard luck
this aeason, although It la but three weeks
old. Loucke, Ross, Dougherty and Hen
nlnr ara ln t,ie Injured list, Qulgley Is
Uklne examinations and Howard Berry Is
with the troops on the border. This Is a
ertre handicap for a new coach to over
come, especially as all the games on tho
schedule aro hard ones. These smaller
colleges have a chnnce to win at this time
of the year, regardless of tho size of the
atiad at the larger Institutions. .
A few years ago one w ould have been con
sidered foolish even to hint that a minor
colltgo eleven could walk away with an
early "practice game." But that was before
t&t lorwaru putja waa pcricciea nnu tno
open game ns here to stay. In the olden
days, when mass plays and line bucking
were In vogue. It was quantity, not quality,
thlt counted. A small college like P. and
t M. or Urslnus would come out to Frank-
, Un Field, play a couple of ten-minute halves
. and limp homeward with the short end
Of a 100 to 0 Bcore under their belts. They
wot4ld make a great showing for about Ave
minutes, but after that Penn would shoot
in fresh substitutes and batter the other
team all over the field and win as she
f pleated. But remember, that was ln the
oiaen uays.
It's Different Now
Now It Is different. It doesn't take so
many men to make a football squad, and
lithe "Minors," with their eighteen or twenty
. men, hae more of a chance than the big
! college with a squad of 200. In modern
football brute strength is supplanted by
ipeed and agility combined with perfect
team play. The latter Is most Important,
and right now Penn, Harvard, Tale and
the others are at a disadvantage. It takes
time to select a varsity .squad from a couple
TITZEL MAY GET
CHANCE TO PLAY
ON FIRST TEAM
Halfback on Penn Scrub
Eleven Did Great Work in
Hard Scrimmage
of hundred candidates and experimenting
goes on until the Intter part of October. In
the meantime, tho same men never play
together twice In the same week, the signal
work Is ragged and only Individual prowess
wins the games.
On the other hand, the small college
coach looks over his slim flock of candi
dates on the first; day, picks out his varsity
nnd gets away to a flying start. He enn
not shift his players from ono team to
another, because there are no playern to
shift. Then ho perfects hln team play, tho
signals run off smoothly and when tho time
for tho first game rolls around a well
drilled eleven Is ready for business.
As was said before, brute strength no
longer Is a factor ln football. Nor Is the
name of n btit colters enough to frighten
the smaller opponents. Urslnus. FrankltaU
and Marshall. Swarthmaro nnd others hnln
walloped Penn early In the season, while
Yale, Hnrvard nnd Princeton nlso havo had
their narrow escapes. Cornell once had n
habit of losing nt least two early games
each year, just because It was Impossible
to get a team working smoothly. For that
reason, Penn probably will have a hard tlmo
next Saturday, unless some very gooa nun
stltutes are found to fill tho places of the
Injured stars.
Some Real Dope
Hemombcr what a splurge nutgers made
last year and how Foster Sanford worked
his men to beat Princeton In tho first game?
Well, wo have another team with us this
vear that Is said to be Just as good at
Rutgers last year. 'Fordham College has
a squad of excellent football players, which
has been practicing for more than a m,onth,
and It I freely predicted by the experts In
New York that a few teams will bo treated
to a huge surprise this autumn. Every one
we have spoken to says the eleen Is one of
tho best In the East and expects to hang up
a good record.
Fordham's first opponent will be Lafay
ette. and the game Is scheduled for next
Saturday. On paper It looks like the best
battle of the day. hut you never can tell.
Crowell has a fairly good team up at Easton,
nnd while little has been said about It, It's
a safe bet that the Maroon and White will
present a strong line-up. Willie his right
name Is Wllmerhat had his men hard at
work for the last three weeks, but they
will need all the training they can get to
beat Fordham. This dope probably will run
the same as that spilled about Rutgers In
1914 and 1915, but it's good dope nnyway.
Team Lives Outdoors
Crowell has sprung an Innovation up at
Easton and Is copying tho methods of
kFlelder Jones at St. Louis. Jones, It will be
remembered, ordered hlo players to sleep
outdoors when tbo weather became loo hot
for comfort, and the stunt worked so well
that the team started on a winning streak.
Crowell Is working on the same Idea, al
though It cannot be blamed on the weather
A huge tent has been put up on March Field,
and In It are twenty other smaller tents,
which are used by tho players. The Lafay
ette coach intends to keep his men In the
open all season, and the experiment Is be
ing watched with Interest.

points In Penn State's play against Susquehanna

NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Bept. 27. The Yale
varsity wss sent through a lively scrlmmsge
yesterday and ran up four touchdowns against a
fairly strong scrub team. Harry Legore'a foot
Is Infected and he msy be out ot the game Sat
urday, when Yale plays Carnegie.
By NEIL MATHEWS
Captain Penn Football Team.
I predicted yesterday, Harold Clas
scrubs cao the ro-called varsity a
stilt battle, and It was only by the greatest
effort that the first-string came out with
two touchdowns to tho good, Tho varsity
attack was rather ragged and tho defense
looso. Tho scrubs brolto up lots of plays
they had no right to stop, only because a
vnrslty man fell down on his part of the
play. Such lackadalslcnl playing charac
terized our piny last seawi and forced the
conches to resort to long scrlmmnges.
Wo do not want to havo long practices this
season, but If the men take things In such
half-hearted fashion lortg practices will be In
order. Bob Is not at all pleased with the
work of tho backfleld and is liable to make
a- radical change nt any moment. Titrel,
who played halfback on the scrub, may
bo shifted to tho varsity at any time, ns
he attracted the coach's eye by his hard,
ueiermineu playing. lie can pass a ball
further than any mnn on the flold and Is
fast on his feet. Such a man will fit In
well In tho backfleld.
Last year we lost to State and that proved
the. turning point In our schedule. Had we
gotten by that game safely I bellee the
season would have had a different outcome.
Importnnt Game
The whole success of our season's play
depends upon this gamo with West Virginia,
The men do not seem to fully realize the Im
portance of that game. If they did thoy
would break their nefcks to get In ns good
condltUm ns possible, for this crowd has
boen training In the Mountains for a month
and Is In first-class physical shape. We
can't hope to bent them on that, -but we can
try to get ourselves ln as goodBhape as
possible and that I am afraid Is what some
of us are slipping up on.
I do not mean to say that I believe the
men do not want to win nor do I mean
to say that they do not havo tho proper
spirit nnd regard for the team, but I do
think some of them aro much too overcon
fident and hold this West Virginia team
too lightly.
If these men want to receive Bob Fol
well's mark of approval they will havo to
change their tactics or else tho scrubs
will be the recipients of some new material.
End Play
Thomas's work at end was not as pleas
ing as It might have been. Time after time
he failed to go under tho Interference, and
under the Pennsylanla system of play that
Is unpardonable. Derr, Williams and
Qulgley did not put life Into their play
and as a consequence plays which should
have worked failed. We have a bunch of
mighty good plays, but It takes eleven men
to work them, and If we can't work them
with the e!een men we hewp chosen to
play on tho first team we will find eleven
men who will work them.
A bit of good news was brought Into the
training house last night when Or. Hancock
announced that Harry Ross would be ln
(rood shape by Saturday. Ross Is a valua
ble man n'nd will be a big asset to us If
we can use him. Light Is nursing a sore
leg, but will be In fine trim by September
30. Bryant la recovering from his sore leg
and Eble Is playing a good game at half
back; so, taken all In all, we will bo nble
to put a fighting backfleld In the gnme, bar
ring nccldents In the meantime. The lino is
still Intact, although there may be a change
at end. If we cpuld only got our backfleld
problem settled we would be In great shape
to prepare for our heavy schedule, but
until the men show the right stutf the back
fleld will bo an uncertainty with, however.
one thing certain the fighting man will
gef the Job.

TRENTON, Sept. 27. While tho fields
wero small In all of the five events on the
second day's racing card, excellent weather
and splendid contests provided good sport
for the large attendance at the Interstate
Fair races yesterday. The track is rather
cuppy this year, and as a result fast time
Is out of the question.
Legal W. scored a straight-heat vic
tory In the 2:18 trotting race, making his
seventh straight win out of nine starts
this season. He just equaled his record of
3:16U. made In a winning race at Allen
town last week. Lake Worthy, driven by
Frank Turner, of Philadelphia, was the
factor In this race, but could not out
trot the New York horse at any stage of
the race,
pnly four of the original entries an
swered the call of the starters' bell in the
2:22 class pace, and one of that number,
Victor Volo, after winning tho opening heat,
persisted In acting badly, and after delay
ing the scoring ln the third heat for a
considerable tlmo by repeat 1 running and
shitting to a trot, made a wild break on the
first turn, broke his sulky and was dis
tanced. Ileuben Hal, the contestant In the
first heat, was sent to the front and won
the big end ot the purse, with the Virginia
mare Ulan fighting It out to the wire.
Five heats were required to decide the
2:19 class pace, with seven sldewheelers
scoring for the word.

Local fan will hnve their first chance
to seo Connie Mock's reconstructed Ath
letics this nftemoon, when Washington will
open tho final scries of the home season
against tho Mackmen. Since tho Athletics
left this city many new players hae Joined
tho team and several more who did not ap
pear In the line-up In the West will bo
tried out In the scries against Washington.
The work of the Athletics on the long
trip was a great surprise to the fans of
the five cities visited. Critics who a month
ago considered the Mackmen the greatest
loke team In tho ganio were lavish In their
praise of the new team. Very few of the
games were lost by big scores, and on the
entire trip tho Mackmen outbatted their
opponents.
Among the new players Mack la partic
ularly anxious to look over Is Frank
Thrasher, the Atlanta rocrult, who was the
leading hitter of tho Southern Associa
tion and who Is touted as the best all
round player turned out by the South since
Tyrui Cobb, Joe Jackson and Trls Speaker
cntorcd tho mtjor league ranks.
Thrasher will bo in the Uno-up today,
as will Qrover. tho Western League recruit.
who played such splendid ball on the West
ern trip. Many recruit pitchers also win
be looked over carefully, though It would
bo Impossible to glo them all a chance
against tho Senators.
Manager Mack has a collegian who has
been pitching at Itallowell, Me., this sum
mer, who It almost certain to be sent
against the Senators. Just what tho young
ster's name Is has not been divulged, as It
Is said that he desires to return to college It
Mack decides that ho H not ripe for major
leaguo duty. Those who have seen this
youngster work out nt Shlbo Park ln the
absence of the team declare that he Is the
best looking propped Mack has uncovered
ln years, not excepting Klmer Myers.
Another youngster tho fans are anxious
to see Is Harry Seibold, the local boy who
blanked tho Browns with three hits ln his
nrst major leaguo start.
It Is hard to tell who Mack will send to
tho mound today, but It probably will be
ono of the recralti, while It also Is possible
tho Folndextcr will play first base It he
reports to Mack today as scheduled. This
youngster played sensitlonal minor league
ball and Is tipped off as a star. It ho
-proves a capable first baseman Mack's
Infield problem may bo solved by switch
ing "Stuffy" Mclnnls over to third, 'with
Charley Pick for utility work.
It Is likely that the wonderful Walter
Johnson will pitch for the Senators, and a
large crowd should turn out to see the
American League's greatest hurler for the
last time this season.

FIVE citizen golfers from this city will
play In the classic Lesley Cup series nt
Boston this week on the Pennsylvania all
star team.
Tho annual blur-ribbon classic will be
held on Frldav and Saturday nt Boston.
Teams representing tho Pennsylvania Golf
Association, tho Massachusetts Oolf Asso
ciation and the Metropolitan Golf Associa
tion will battle down to the last match for
the guardianship of tho cup.
The five Phltadelphtans on the team from
this Stnte are Hugh Wllloughby, champion
of Florida and former champion of this
city; Norman Maxwell, sensational nineteen-year-old
golfer who won the Deist cup
for the second time from n fast field last
week; Richard Hanson, who has been
playing his best game this year and who
beat Cameron Buxton, city champion, In
tho lnterclub matches; W. P. Smith, a
sturdy veteran, who qualified and won a
hard match In the national, and O. E.
Atherton, Country Club.
And Perhaps Fowncs
The other plnyers who have no far sent
word to Howard Perrln. vice president of
the U. 8. O. A. and official In charge of
this State's team, that they will piny this
year are Ebcn Byers, a former national
champion; O. A. Ortnlston, Pittsburgh; D.
S. Armstrong, tho Tale crack ; Davison Her
ron, Princeton's star; J. B. Crookston, Pitts
burgh, and Lawrenco'Canan, Altoona, and
an expert from Harvard.
It Is not certain that W. C. Fownes. Jr.,
former national champion and winner of the
medal In the national this year, as well as
once before, will play on the team which he
usually captains, but It Is thought likely.
Last year Fownes was the sensation ot
the matches. On the first day of the tour
ney he upset none other than Francis Oul-
met, the captain of the Massachusetts team,
In a match that held the large gallery spell
bound. He followed It up the next day
by carrying Jerry Travtrs along at the
stlffest of paces and looking many times
like the winner.
Ifm"Captaln Bill" Is on duty at the helm
this "year as lead-off man for the Penn
sylvanlans, this State's chances will be in
creased by several leaps.
Meredith Jack, the Junior champion of
this city, was Invited to play among the
voterans, but scholastic duties will prevent
him from taking the trip.
The Pairing
The metropolitan team won the cham
pionship last year and will be called upon to
meet the winner of the Massachusetts-Pennsylvania
match, which will be played on
Friday. Ten-man teams will represent each
State, as usual.
The metropolitan team will play a team
of veterans on the first day. This team will
be composed of players who havo been parts
of former Lesley Cup teams from tho three
States. It Is expected that some Phlladel
phlans will make the trip this year to play
on this team.
Both the metropolitans and Massachu
setts are expected to put strong teams ln
the field this year, and New York especially
will make a determined stand for Its hard
won honors of lost year.
Jerry Travers, former open champion of
the United States and several-time amateur
champion, will likely find tlmo for the two
day tourney and captain the Qothamltes
again. He will be backed up by Oswald
Ktrkby, the metropolitan champion; Max
well Marston, Philip Carter, North and
South champion; John Q. Anderson, former
national finalist; Gardiner White, Reggie
Lewis and others of the same Bpeed.
'Walloping Jess
Massachusetts will have Its hard-wallop-ing
champion to play No: 1.
Jesse Guilford, a national semlflnallst
this year, Is ithe far-swatting golfer referred
to, and he will have to stack up with "Bill"
Fownes It that worthy should enter. A
great match Is promised.
The Pennsylvanlans have an elegant
chance of walking Into the finals In the role
of challengers for the cup, as tho team on
paper looks to havo the edge on Massachu
setts. Last year the Pennsylvanlans met
the Beantown delegation ln the first round
and won after many brilliant brushes with

A. A. Shurtleff, of Boston, and Mrs. II. H.
Smith, of Philadelphia.
Except In one set, the first, which they
won 6-2, the game ot Miss BJurstedt and
Miss Sears lacked considerable what a
doubles game ought to have. Miss Sears
played soft, unsteady and In the main weak
tennis. The tltleholder apparently caught
the contagion. Miss BJurstedt occasionally
flashed the game that has made her cham
pion; she hit the ball with greater sting
than any of the other three players, but
errors piled In her game, frequently coming
on shots that mlgbt have been returned for
placements It she had been on her usual
style ot play. On the other hand, Mrs.
Shurtleff and Mrs. Smith often found open
ings for points. Mrs. Smith was eliminated
In the singles and mixed doubles.
In the singles Miss Gwendolln Brandon,
of New York, the young, girl Just out ot a
finishing school, with practically no tourna
ment experience, followed up her defeat of
Miss Marlon Fenno by disposing ot Miss
