In yesteryears, one of the greatest delights of the Central co-eds was to see their rival, Tech High, get a good lacing. And the climax came if Central could repeat the trick op Thanksgiving. But now that idea has vanished, and Central High school girls will turp out in a body to cheer for Tech, * the Harrisburg boys' high school. The Maroon man agement will not have to depend en tirely on the Tech student body for its patronage. Central High school has been invited to attepd this first game as well as the remaining ones on the schedule. Liast evening. Coach Smith drilled the 3quad on what positions to take and what each man should do on the kickotf. Captain Ebner will likely be called on to do the kicking from ihe tee. "Tony" Wllsbach will have the duty of kicking the goals after touchdowns, und the Tech studenfs expect that he will be busy enough at just this one phase of the game. The Tech band is rehearsing daily and will make its first appearance, as will tfie cheep leaders. The largest crowd at an opening game is looked for. "Fat" Lauster will miss his first contest in four years. "Vic" Bihl is also hors-de-combat, and may be supplanted by Garrett at the center X>ost. In the scrimmage last night "Bud" Bell injured his left shoulder but ho is expected to be in good shape for iho game Saturday. Things look roseate tor the opener, and fair weather should bring out a large crowd to get a first glimpse of what is expected to be the best team Tech ever had; one that is sure to bring the state championship to this city. • At the chapel exercises to-morrow morning, Dr. Lewis S. Mudge will speak to the student body on "What We Can Do to Help Win the War." He received his information first hand from the heads of the Depart ments at Washington.

Not content with having "Bill" Hoerner president of the athletic as sociation, his fellow classmates have thrust on him the honor of senior class president. While he is known among the Tech students as "Silent Will" he has a reputation for wield ing the gave! in Joe Cannon style. "Vic" Bihl is Ihe new vice-president, and Lester Bell the treasurer.

I ' ' -y"-~-CC*r^a rxo START FOOTBALL AT U. OF P. TODAY Coach Bob Fohvell in Charge of Team Under Military Supervision The football committee of the Wiiversity of Pennsylvania Athletic Association yesterday afternoon. In a mec'ing lasting an hour dnd a half, outlined Its plans for conduct ing the eleven that will wear the Red and Blue this fall, and at the end of the session the graduate man ager, Edward R. Bushnell, 'OO Col lege, stated, among other things, that the first practice will be held this morning at 11 o'clock and the second this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Bob Folwell, whose contract as coach of the University eleven was terminated by exercise of the war clause contained therein, was present at the meeting, and agreed to take up the duties of coaching the Franklin Field team with the same spirit in which the committee de cided to assume the financial and managerial obligations connected with It. Folwell's salary is t>f nom inal dimensions, the lowest ever re ceived by a Penn coach, but Fol well accepted with patriotic celerity. The eleven will not be a Univer sity of Pennsylvania eleven In the sense that it has been every year to date. This year the team will rep resent the Students' Army Training Corps, and membership in the corps is necessary for every candidate. Students below the age of 18, and therefore ineligible for the corps, may become eligible for the team by reporting for military drill. Since the team represents the S. A. T. C., and is therefore a service team in every sense of the word, there will be no ban on freshmen, nor any barring of a man who has played four years of intercollegiate football. Efforts will be made to se cure games with all the teams on the schedule as arranged before the taking over of the University by the govennment. The Cornell game is evidently out of the question, but it is possible that the trip to Pittsburgh may be made. Major Griffith has the matter under consideration, his de cision being the last word. Though operating as a service team, the football facilities of the University were turned over to the new eleven for its purposes. The Athletic Association will bo in charge of the managing and the coaching subject always to the orders of the military. As the roster stands at present, daily practice will be stagod from 4.30 p. m. till 6 p. m. Until the camp is fprmally opened on Oc tober 1 two practices will bo held every day, with the exception of to morrow, when the entire personnel will be involved in the military cere monies marking the opening of col lege. Great hope is held out that Hoboy Eight, who did not graduate last year, will be back, but he has not as yet reported to headquarters. If he does, he will be the logical candtdatp for the captaincy to fill Bert Bell's shoes. Bert, the captain-elect. Is in France with University Base Hos pital No. 20. Neylor, a subtacklo and heavyweight boxing champion of the university, has reported as a candidate. Central High Boys of Junior Class Win From Grey stock Fullback Gutschall, of the Cen tral High Junior Class team, made two touchdowns last evening against Greystock in a very fine game on the Island field. One day's practice seemed to have made a great Im provement In Central High which did not make much of a show against the Eagles. The game be gun with the ball in Central's pos session. A series of plays- followed which put the team in striking dis tance of the goal. Gutschall on a neat run rushed over the goal line for the first touchdown. The Grey stock team then received and was stopped on the forty-yard line. They were then thrown for heavy losses on the rtext few plays and were forced to kick. The kick was block ed and the ball rolled over the Cen tral's goal and was covered by Got shall, which made the score stand 12 to 0. In the second half the Cen tral team was on the thirty-five yard and was being held for downs. Stanford made a pretty pass to Rob inson. who caught the ball and run the rest of the distance for a touch down. The ball was then played bock and forth on the middle of the field when the final whistle blew which ended the game, the score standing at 18 to 0. Tho summary and line-up: CENTRAL GREYSTOCK Snyder.

How can a "man" who is almost old enough to shave and who is convinced that he must have a 'dress suit" before he is another week older, show to advantage before the new girl in town If he has an obnoxious beast of a little sister trailing at his heels all of the time and blurting out unpleasant truths?

Soldiers Are Sore on Baseball Slackers, Says John Evers Never was a day when John Evers could not start something. • Latest from Jawn is an awful knock on ballplayers as he de scribes it from an "over there" ■viewpoint. John is taking a whack at most everything in the way of criticism and the spart writers are beginning to Pay their respects to Jawn. One remarks: "If Johnny Evers is not care ful he will be back in the United States sooner than he expects. •Johnny has always been a man to express his opinion forcibly and freely upon any subject that interested him. One of the sub jects just now is the appointment °f Ty Cobb and Christy Mathew son as captains in the Gas War fare Service. Johnny writes to his old friend Hughey Fullerton to the, effect that the soldiers in France are not at all tickled with the idea that these famous athletes have received mighty good jobs for the asking, while other fellows have to work their heads off in training schools or fight their heads off in the front line trenches i n order to gain even a commission as second lieutenant. Evers is roundly criticised for this communication: "There is one thing i have learned, and that is that the pro fessional ball player is in bad with all the soldiers over there. "Believe me, the boys are sore on these shipyard and steel mill duekers, and those birds are go ing to get roasted oft the lot after the war. This gang won't stand for them any more, and these babies mean business, "The only fellows .who will be allowed on the lot after the war are those who have come over here to do their bit in one wav or other. Of course, you folks over there know that the players were led to believe that a few weeks or months didn't make any differ ence, but one gets a different" angle on it over here. I'd hate to try to play ball after this war with a bunch of return ed soldiers looking on unless they were sure I tried to do some thing. And if the players at home understood the situation they'd be fighting to get over." v -J Courthouse Notes Will Probated.
