There isn't even a captain of the team, Marion 'Wilson, who was elected xat the close of the 1010 season, having left college when war was declared. Speedy Rush, the old coach, has left to take charge up at Cor nell, and it is up to Roper to put on some pioneer stuff and lay the founda- Ions for the future. flllS job is enough to discourage an ordinary person; hut Roper I is not ordinary. He is not at look, hut says he will have one of the best teams in tho country. In fact, he is confident of making a good 'shoving', and more power to him. Roper Always Finishes Everything He Starts ROPER is a fighter and looks the part. His piercing gray eyes and his firm, resolute, underslung jaw, accompanied by a natural aggressiveness, pro unmistakable signs that he will go through with anything he undertakes tmtstop at nothing. He is firm in his convictions and, once he gets his ijtunu maae up, noming can cnuugu u. j Here Is an example . In 1012, after President! Wilson was elected, Koper, who worked hard in the campaign, was appointed United States' appraiser of the port of Philadelphia. This is a very important position nnd Bill more than made good. He was one of the leading Democrats of the state. In 1010, when Wilson adopted the "watchful waiting" policy and tried every means to bwallow repeated iusu.lts from Germany without fighting back, Koper went on the warpath. He disagreed with the Democratic policy of keeping out of the war and did not hesitate to express his views. He re signed from his position, quit the Democratic party and cast his lot with the 'real Americans. Roper never does anything by halves. As was said before, (whenever he stnrts Anything he goes through with it to the absolute limit. For that reason Princeton men are confident he will make good this fall. 0 With a spirit like that, he can't help it. I called on Roper yesterday and found him hard it work. Papers were , strewn about the room and he was industriously checking a long list of names. "Candidates for the football team?" I asked. "Not on your life," replied Bill. "There's only one candidate for this team, and I am it. Perhaps jou don't know it, but I am running for Coun cil in the Sixth senatorial district, which is composed of the Twenty-first, Twenty-second, Thirty-eighth and forty -second wards, and the primaries , take place on Tuesday, September 10. Got any votes to spare?" And Roper chuckled as he checked up a few more names. "This is worse than football," he resumed. "You never can tell what Is going to happen. All you can do is hope for the best. If I could get all of the voters in my district and talk to them like I talk to a football team in the dressing room before a big game I would feel better. 'I'd like to tell them I am opposed to contractor government of any 'kind, that I favor the city disposing of its own garbage and doing its own street cleaning, and there should be a comprehensive budget system in Phila delphia. The city at present is spending more money than it is earning. We should find out how much we need and lay taxes accordingly. , (IF I could only use football methods in getting my ideas across ' it would be serene and lovely. However, I am doing my best, ' t and I believe the voters in my district are with me," No Veterans to Report This Year ffTTOPE you are elected," I said after the oration, "but how about foot 1 XI ball this year? What do you expect to do at Princeton?" Roper put away his voting list and substituted another. Then he looked up, set his jaw, leaned back in his chair and said: "We will have the best team In the country this year. Not a varsity man back, but- just watch us ' go ! A wCek from Thursday the first practice will be held and I expect about $e.venty-flve candidates. This number will be increased to 150 when college opens. i "Callahan, who played center on the intormal team the last two years, t will be back, and I regard him as one of the best in the country, Dickson and v Rothchlld, also informals, are two good guards and should do well. For UckIes I am well fixed. Stan Keck, a Greensburg boy, who entered college in 1017, did good work before joining the army and is, back again after spend- "ins eighteen months in France. Brown, 'of Kiskl, ' is another husky youth and was with Keck on the other side. I expect that pair to make good. "For ends the most promising candidates seem to be Harvey, the old Exeter star, and Carrol. They played last year. "I am not worried about my quarterbacks. Three xery good men will report and they are exceptionally good. Strubing, of Chestnut Hill, played vitij the Informals a short time in 1017, but left early In 'the, season to fight with the marines. Murray, who is a good drop-kicker, -was sent to the officers' training camp shortly after entering school, and Lowrey, the Exeter quar terback, did the same thing. That trio should have an interesting battle for the position. ' ifTRB best backfieli men at present are Witmer, D Stephana and Lyons, all of whom played on the informal team. There 'i will le others, of course, but I must get acquainted with them before I tay anything.- " Many Former Varsity Men to Help itft AM Terr fortunate In having Keene, Fitzpatrick with me this year. JL Although known throughout the country as a 'trainer and track murh "yWprtrick, to my mind, ii one of M. Alt conditioner oi men ne nas Harold Ballin will be line coach, i. also will assist. f '"Nat Poe has been appointed ''lsrd a regular schedule to be played. Our scrubs will meet the second Ijgii of Haverford and Annapolis and more games will be arranged after tkiMMon starts. ' ' "Our first game will be played on October 4 against Trinity. Four fifth later we will meet West Virginia, and that team will give us lota of 'trmibk. Funny thing about West Virginia. Myron Fuller, of Yule, one 'of ay neighbors and secretary of my campaign committee, will coach the team, din you Swat it? ?T EXPECT ft areata teason for football and some history will be '' J waVv, 'And I tW ttotq that Princeton will &o up in frcnt V. MAXWELL with the other members of the "Big Three," and there is not one mark jou, NOT ONE real, regular, lion-cst-to-goodness varsity man to be. found in the list of candidates. Every regular who played on the 1010 eleven has left college, and the re maining veterans if they can be re ferred to as such either played on the freshman eleven or limped through the informal seasons of 1017 nnd 1018. Under ordinary conditions a team which loses five or six regulars in a single year is up against it and the coach is an object of sympathy. Everybody deplores the fact almost half of the team has disappeared and it will be very difficult to find ex perienced players to fill the vacant spots. That is true, but it must be remembered that the presence of a few varsity men always helps some. The coach has a nucleus around which to build his eleven,' and that always helps some. But what are you going to do if there isn't a nucleus around the place? Coaching a gang of qovices is not a cinch, especially when none has had the experience of playing in a Har vard or Talc game. A new system all dismayed over the dismal out- the best football coaches in the United no equal. and Red Gennert, center on the 1016 coach of the second team and w n WHEN A n wffr '"&ss?2g&22sy v S2fc0Q 77 ?( De Neri, All-Amerjcans, Read ing, Trenton, Camden and Allentown in Circuit SCHEFFER RE-ELECTED HEAD After a lapse of a year and a half, due to the war, the Eastern Basketball League has been completely reorganized and is ready to start theeason the first week of November with the following circuit: De Neri and All-Americans, representing Philadelphia, Trenton, Rending. Tnmden nnd Allentown. The latter is a newcomer in the ranks of mnjor league bnsketbnll, purchasing the franchise of the Jasper Club. The lupstaters were not in the organization ery long before they made a deal which changed the complexion of peernl teams .and reminded one of the kind of trades engineered in the old central league. J Harry Hough, as manager, traded to i Camden three sterling a'rtists such as ! Marty Friedman, Barney Sedran and I Dave Kerr for a flock of nthletes, chief of whom was James Brown, premier j basketball player of the cage universe. I The latter vns secured by Frnnk Poth ' in exchange for Tom Barlo and Brftwn already has signed his contract to play in Philly. Kennedy to Camden. As forecasted in these columns last Saturday Bill Kennedy went to manage Camden. The lean leader of the Jewels said he and Messrs, Patterson and Lin ton had exhausted every means to secure a hall uptown. It was agreed that each club limit itself, to eight plajers and lists were turned in which mean absolutely, nothing. Of the plajers' contracts" registered with President Schcffer, the I most important was that of Oscar Grim stad. The big fellow' has placed his 'name to a contract tendered by Frank Poth. He is undoubtedly one of the i best pivot men that ever pranced up anti aown tne wooaen alleys. Oscar saw wonderful service with the old Utlca team and has been cavort ing in the vicinity of the Pennsvlvnnln ! State League or the last two seasons. I Poth also has 'Chief" Muller's con I tract In Scheffer's hands and he is one I of the best shots in the game today, regardless ot nts many years oi service. Scheffer Re-elected Once again was William J, Scheffer returned to tho office of president, secretary-treasurer. On motion of Frank Poth. It was unanimously passed that the official should receive a stipulated salary.- Scheffer registered strenuous objections but was overruled. Although nothing was done in regard to the matter, it is understood that the season will consist of two halves and that the player fouled will shoot his own toss. Another meeting will be called for some evening in the near future, ah there is considerable business yet to transact.

TWO BRAND-NEW LINK COMETS RAZZLE DOPE TO FA TTEN GOLF LIST Beadle and Greer Rope Couple of Favorites Where Lu Lu Goats Go Browsing Dig Into Quaker City's Roster of Best Ten Golfers By SANDY riTWO sappers stand off today, the well-known sweet smile lighting up the countenance. The works arc shot. The high places are blown up. Which brings us face to face witli two brand new stars of nhlladelphia golf; Glittering, et calm, midst the jodels of the yipping galleries, we have, first of all. a schoolboy. J. ,T Beadle, who holes 'em out in, idle momentR at Llancrch, is said by his nearest friends to bo only eighteen' ears old. At Lu Lu this newest prodigy laid by the heels J. Wood Piatt, the local golfer, a" hero because of his defeat of Francis Ouimet in the battling for the national championship. Beadle ac complished this thing with some of the flightiest swats seen in these parts lately from the tee, and with absolutely the gaudiest putting that any teesman has dlsplajed in matches over local areas. He. had only plajcd in two tournaments, Bala and Merion, in his young life. Saturday was to have .been Piatt's big da). The sun shone brightly over head. With two legs already won on the beaming bumper which they were play ing for, Piatt had spent some time before the match walking around it, admiring it, planning whether to stow it in the front or back of his car, thinking over the great score he had shot in the morning and otherwise thoroughly enjoying "the day. Just then thev sent 'em to the teeing off Pce, Ii Every hole was decided on the greens. BoHi showed great golf. Piatt grabbed every hole where. Tieadle faltered and shot a shade the-better g'olf. But he couldn't stem off that rabid putting of Beadle's. Hlup.ltlup Time after time Beadle ran down the long ones for a win or stamped 'em down right there for a look" in. Piatt, the quickest putter among the stars, is deadly on his approaches. He was hanging, thera on the lip' or by inches one after another. Beadle went down on this kind, so he won. Beadle's putting Is .his Jongest suit. Playing against Walter Reynolds, Nnrman Maxwell and others nt Aronl- mlnk the other day, he Is said to have cleaned up by betting he would sink the long ones he came upon, anci-tnen doing itv .T,hcy say he eats up those twenty-footers., He sure did at Lu Lu. Then we 'have another star. He is the first and most promising prodigy of the public links, from which a lot is expected as the years roll' into great red twilight. Marcus Greer, three-fingered flinger of the flighty, pill, ex-Yank, twice win ner of the Cobb's Creek title before the ....... rnnouered George Hoftner, city ,-j champion, three weeks after his dls. charge from w " ....... One of, the stocky kind that leans on every shot and whops It a mile, Greer's only fault right now is due lo Heinle long game at Saint JHhl, Greer went into action wit'i the Sev lit. ninth, sprawled Ipto a lot of shrapnel ,. W9 ' .'d-h,. wrists U' !Z!B&.&Z?&1 FRIEND NIBLICK Division" in 'Luxemburg, from, which to Lu Lu and fame. It was his first crack at the honors of a golf tournament. He hasn't got the old stuff In his wrists yet. He's shell shocked. He can't stand still a minute. His fingars twitch ..and his hands clench nqrvously. But Greer has gotthe nerve nnd they can watch him all they want. They're going to hear from him. He showed that when he jumped the city champ's neatly-laid stymie at Lu Lu at the croocial moment of his match in as sweet a played shot as one could wit ness. He is thoroughly at home when the going is in the seventies. He likes It. v What more could a feller ask? Look-a-Here! With these two as above.-mentioned added to its roster of stars, the Quaker City is about ready to put out ji team of ten and ask the others to take it on. Every tourney shows something new, now that he war is" over, and things are coming back to earth in the links belt. Who thought Piatt would wallop iiuimet at the national .' Nobody knew how good Francis Kemble was, just back .from the war, till he showed em at-Menon in the all star boutlng there. Norman Maxw;ell-, .in the open, had a walkaway, almost, for the 'big prize, up to the final round, when his physical state blew his, score over the fence with an 80. Paul Tewkesbury took the national medal. George Hoffner puffed his way into the third round there before Bill Fownes pushed the brown derby well down over his ears. Ed Clarey sop ked .Ouime$ for a goal through to the twenty'Seventh before he began to wobble. That's eight star hereabouts. It'd be easy to catch up. a' couple more, Sid Sharwood, Max Marston, and others. No other city has such a pushing. young bunch of'stars that could radiate the old razoo like this tea mcould, (ft which still has its best years coming. Gotta Play Ball The test will come in the Pennsylva nia open at WhitcmHrsh In ten days, where most of these locals will play, Tho high light of that tourney will bn the entrance of Dave Heron, national amateur champion' of the United States, In bis bow to Philadelphia in this role. He will be backed up by Bill Fownes, twice holder of the title and veteran medalist; Eben Byers. former champ also, Grant Peacock, J. B, Crookston and other Pittsburgh stars. The going will be fast and furious. Eb Byers will captain the Lesley Keystone team this year into action against Francis Ouimet & Co., Bean town, Mass,, and Jerry Travers et al.. Gothamvllle. Philadelphia's new ma terial will have to enter and show their stuff. Otherwise it's likely to be the same old, team of veterans, who have passed the milestone In the new hop golf has taken lately, slightly off the royal and ancient line. Philadelphia, should place nevcn, or surely ticMja uoani on int ibi, ''' 'JM!S.V"F" H.JMT BOXING RETURNS 10 INDOOR ARENA Conifrey and Erne Head Bill on Olympia's Opening Pro- gram Thi3 Evening TENDLER AND CLINE AGAIN By JAMES S.
