Intercollegiate Football Campaign of 1920 To Be Started Thi^Week on Many Gridirons
Harvard Will Open Season
In Game Against Holy Cross
Crimson Sure to Receive Hard Test in First Issue;
Penn State, Syracuse, Penn, Rutgers9 Lehigh
and Others Will Also Start on Saturday
By Ray McCarthy
The preliminary season in the intercollegiate football campaign is
ebout over or at least well under way, depending on the angle from 'which
the matter is viewed. To us the preliminary reason means sizing up
of the candidates by the coaches, the learning of the rules and fundamen?
tals of the game and of muscle hardening and weight reducing.
The assembling process will now*
?tart. Many of the colleges will play
their first games this week, while prac?
tically all of them will at least start
scrimmaging, the whole with the idea
of picking the best eleven. For no
teamwork can be wrought?that is, in
an efficient manner?until a tentative
aggregation is formed.
Of course, the ideal situation for a
coach weuld be to ?;o through a sea?
son with the same team as orginally
picked, which quite obviously is im?
possible. Rut all football mentors aim
to determine their line-ups as soon-as
possible so that the rough spots can
be smoothed out and unity acquired.
Hard Test for Harvard
Before Thursday Bob Fisher will be
forced to line up some kind of a team,
if he has not already done so, for on
Saturday Harvard will meet Holy Cross j
in its curtain raiser. And the eleven
which Fisher selects to start this game
is quite sure to be the one that will
play against, Yale, excepting possibly
a few changes.
Speaking of this contest, let nobody
make the mistake of thinking the
Crimson is to have simply an after?
noon's work-out. Remember the Yale
Boston College struggle last fall? T<*
our way of thinking it would be a great
surprise if something similar did not
occur in the Stadium next Saturday.
Not that Holy Cross is so wonderful.
We have it that Cleo O'Donnell, who is
handling the Worcester eleven, has a
lot of promising material. But Har?
vard this year is by no means the Har?
vard of 1919. It has lost several stars
whose places will not be easily filled.
However, the Cambridge students
should win their fuss quite handily, and
probably will if they don't make the
mistake, as Yale did last season, of
underrating an early season opponent.
Penn State is another of the head
liners which will get into action this
week. St^te will entertain Muhlenberg
in its opening game at State College
and should have a lead-pipe cinch.
With a lot of excellent material on1
which he has 'oren working for nearly
n month now, Bezdek's only worry wili
be that it will receive some opposition
Wc doubt if he gets it.
Weit Virginia will war upon West
Virginia Wcsleyan, and should win.
Whether it will be tested we know not,
not knowing anything of the line-up of
the Wesleyan team. West Virginia,
with several veterans and with some
new stars, including Beck, Harrisburg
High School star, whom Penn State and
others wanted, but did not get, looks as
though it might be ns strong as ever
thi3 year, although Beck will not till
the shoes of Rodgers in this his first
year.
Penn to Play Delaware
Pennsylvania is going to see what
its prospects are in a game against
Delaware on Saturday. Heisman is
working like a Trojan with the Red
and Pitt'"' squad, in which the material
is mostly unknown. The Delaware
game should produce a fair idea of
what Old Penn will or may do this
year.
Syracuse, practically the same as last
year, is going to take up where it left
off last, fall in a work-out against Ho- ?
bart on Saturday. This'should be a
canter for the Orange if it doesn't de- j
velop into a slaughter. From this game
we shall learn no more about the Salt
City eleven than we already know.
Brown begins its schedule on Satur?
day with Rhode Island Stale and may
meet the hard struggle, the Rhode
Islanders are always wont to give the
Providence lads. Washington and Jef?
ferson will meet Bethany, Lehigh will
face Lebanon Valley and Rutgers will
take on Ursinus, and in each case the
first named team snould have an easy
time of it. i
These comprise the games that will
be played in the Fast. Yale, Princeton,
Columbia, the Army, Navy and the
others will probably put in the day
scrimmaging and preparing for games
on the following week, when all of the
teams will be off.
Most of the college squads have al?
ready put in a lot of hard work and
arc about ready to absorb a few other
things besides fundamentals. The Navy '
and Penn State it seems to us have
progressed the farthest, having been
at it longer. But the team which still
continues to attract most of our atten?
tion is Yale. The Eli machine, when
it is f'nally rigged out. should be a
humdinger if we mistake, not. To us
it looks very much like an all-Blue
year.
Columbians Hopeful
We are quite convinced also that fol
lowers of Columbia are going to have
much to be cheerful about this season.i
Buck O'Neill has already made a vivid .
impression on those who have seen him ;
handle his charges. And no matter
what else may be said of the eleven
that will represent the Blue and White
this year, it is quite certain that nobody
will ever accuse it of lacking a fight?
ing spirit.
New York University students are
looking forward to a good season. They
have a lot of faith in Frank Cargan and
are confident he is going to produce a
winning combination.
From Fordham comes the report that
Joe Dumoe, former Fordham and La?
fayette star end, is going to turn out
a team that will surprise football fol?
lowers. Dumoe is working long and
?trenuously these days and is receiving
valuable aid from George "Buckie" Mc?
Donald, ex-captain of the Lehigh Uni?
versity eleven. McDonald is instruct?
ing the line candidates, and doing a
good job of it, we are told.

1 Army's Chances
Depend Upon
New Material
Outlook for Good Eleven Is
Bright, Despite Losses
by the June Graduation
(Special Corrrspendenee to The Tribun?.) j
WEST POINT. N. Y., Sept. 18.?The j
development of a football team to rep- ;
resent West Point on the gridiron this
fall is progressing favorably. For sev- '
eral weeks the cadets have been de- I
voting consid?rait time to practice
and a large nurmSff of candidates for
the squad have turned out at the call
of the coaches. During the last fort
night the number has been reduced
until the squad now numbers about |
sixty men, which is likely to be its
strength for the season.
The outlook is far from discourag- ?
ing, although graduation in June took ,
the best of the Army's veteran ma?
terial. The class which graduated this j
summer had been here but two years !
?hardly long enough to develop veter
ans of the gridiron. But such men as j
McQuarrie, lilaik, Daniel, George, Her- ?
r;ck, Lystad, Schabacker and Vogel, all
of whom faced the Navy last fall, are
no longer here.
The nucleus for Army's gridiron ?
team this fall will find just three var- ?
sity players icft from last season's
eh ven. They are Breidster, a guard;
Greene, a center, and Wilhide, a quar?
terback, the latter captain of this
year's eleven. To be sure, Dodd,
Davidson, Spettel, Enderton, Timber
lake, Pitzer, L. J. Storck and W. C.
White, who were among last season's
substitutes, arc still available and are
again out for the,,team, but none of
these men was seroously considered a
year ago. ';'.?/'
The new plebe class is the largest
which ever entered the academy. Over
six hundred men comprise its strength,
and it is this class from which the
army will take a host of material.
About half the football squad as it
exists after all the numerous "prun
ings" is made up of plebes. There
are Butler, Dabezies, French, Goodwin,
Mulligan, Perkins, Stewart, D. G. '
St.orck, Strohecker and Tibbetts among
the new men who are attracting atten?
tion. They have all had more or less
football experience.
The coaching staff is beaded by
Char'ey Daly, of Harvard, '01, and West
Point, '05. "Pot" Graves. '05, and Tom
Hammoinl, '05, are assisting. Both
these latter named coaches have as?
sisted Daly and figured largely in the
successes of former Army elevens.
Graves looks after the Army's linemen,
and Hammond, who was a star end him?
self during his cadet days, has charge
of the flankers. There are also other
assistants to the above named mentors;
for instance, McEwan, '17; Gerhardt,
'17; "Biff" Jones. '18; Hoge. '14; Prich
ard, '15, and Tully, '16. So the Army is
strong in its coaching staff.
Indulge In Daily Practice
Practice is now a daily feature. In
faet the cadets are being given more
time for football and athletics in gen?
eral than ever before. It is, indeed, no
strange sight now to see cadets, every
day, participating in football, baseball,
basktball, tennis, golf, lacrosse, soc?
cer and track activities.
The schedule for the cadets this year
is weak. Notre Dame is the one big
home attraction. Tho Hoosiers come
here on the last Saturday in October.
Navy Day at 'the Polo Grounds in New
York, however, is the mark the Army
will shoot at, and it is hoped that "by
November 27, the date set for the an?
nual meeting between the cadets and
the middies, the soldier eleven will
have found itself and rendered a satis?
factory accounting.
The cadets open their season two
wcks f rom to-day?a double-header
featuring the event. Games will be
played with Marshall College of Hunt?
ington, W. Va., and Union College, of
Schenectady.
Over 100 Players
To Select Squad
From at Old Eli
NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Sept. 18.?Al?
though Yale will not open for two
weeks, its football squad to-day num?
bered more than a hundred players and
with two days of scrimmaging, Head
Coach Tad Jones gave an indication
of the final line-up through his eelec
tion of first and second teams.
Hi3 policy regarding the organization
of the team has been to form a varsity
squad, composed of the first and second
elevens, and to include the scrubs in
the rest of the group. As there is ma?
terial for nine full elevens on the field
already, it will be possible to hav*
two or three practice games in pragress
daily.
Dr. Billy Bull has been given charge
of the scrubs.
Three ends who were thought to be
included in the squad are not avail?
able, including the veterans Louis
Reinhardt and "Babe" Allen, regulars,
and Jack Sauerback, the former Case
College player, who is laid up with
water on the knee and may not be
available till the mid-season games.
Reinhardt and Allen have decided not
to return to college.
At present, the coaches have shifted
Ray Munger and Eddie Egan from
tackle to end. Dickens and Walker,
regular tackles last year, are again in
splendid shape in the positions, with
Trowbridge, freshman tackle, and Mc?
Kay, freshman guard last season,
promising. The veteran John Acosta
is in his historic fine form at guard
and the other guard place has been
kiven to Herr, the 260-pound freshman
player o?" last season, who appears
like a genuine find.

Lehigh Eleven Is Fast
Rounding Into Shape
BTHLEHEM. Pa., Sept. 18. ? With
two sessions of practice each day Coach
Tom Keady is realising good results,
and although the Lehigh squad got
away to a late start the players are
rapidly rounding into condition. The \
double practice session, one in the l
morning and the other in the after- j
noon, was started at the beginning of
the week and will be continued until j
sessions at college open next Thurs- ,
day. It is likely that the first scrim- I
age will be held on Monday.
The number of candidates who are :
working daily has reached a total of
more than forty, and more are expect?
ed with the incoming freshman class.
Among the. new men are such scho
Iastic stars as Edgar Brandau, a young?
ster weighing 190 pounds, froh Michi- ;
gan Prep; Harold Schlickenmayer, a !
halfback, and R?ssel Raines, an end, |
of Central High, Detroit; A. W. Spring- !
steen, an end, and his brother, W.
Springsteen, a promising looking cen- ?
ter, of Northwest High, Detroit.

Pittsburgh Eleven
Shows Up Strong
In Scrimmages
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 18.?The Uni?
versity of Pittsburgh football candi?
dates are engaging in some strenuous
scrimmages at Camp Hamilton, Wind
ber, Pa., and Coach "Pop" Warner hopes
to have his charges in good shape for
the opening game, October 2, with
Geneva. The team returns to Pitts?
burgh Friday, as college opens Monday,
September 27. The Geneva game is the
only easy one on the entire schedule,
: ns hard struggles follow in rapid suc?
cession with West Virginia, Syracuse,
Georgia Tech, Lafayette, Penn, W. and
J. and Penn State.
The West Virginia game will he the
opener at Forbes Field and the Moun?
taineers, fortified by a galaxy of prep
school stars, are expected to give the
Panthers an unusually hard battle.
Under the one-year residenceflrule,
Coach Warner has thirty-seven eligi
bles for the varsity, more than half of
them coming from tho 1919 freshman
eleven.

Captains of "Big Three'* Elevens?Two of Them Brothers
Outlook Bright at Fordham
As First Week of Work Ends
Candidates for Maroon
Eleven in Shape ; Frisch
to Assist Coach Dumoe
At the conclusion of the first week's i
football practice at Fordham Field it
looks as if the Bronx collegians are
going to spring a big surprise this fall
and produce a really first-class grid?
iron machine. Head Coach Joe Dumoe
is developing his youngsters rapidly,
and should, with the help of a few vet-j
erans, mold together a formidablejjapm- j
bination. /, '.
Dumoe is being ably assisted
coaching the Fordham athletes by
"Buck" McDonald, former captain and
star center at Lehigh University. The
latter is drilling the linemen, and the
former Is giving most of his attention
to the ends and backfield men. As soon
as the National League pennant race
is completed Frank Frisch, the Giants'
third baseman, will return to Fordham,'
where he first achieved athletic fame
as a halfback, and help Dumoe in his
coaching problems. Frisch is expected
to take charge of the backfield men
and allow Dumoe to concentrate on the
end candidates and the team tactics.
Two new candidates, who should
prove valuable assets to the Maroon
eleven, reported at Fordham Field yes?
terday. Th?y are Robb and Duff, both
of whom played at Rutgers last fall.
They have matriculated at the Ford?
ham Law School for the coming year,
and should win regular berths on the
team. They are both big, powerful
fellows, each weighing well over 195 j
pounds.
At present Williams, who played at I
Lafayette last year, and Fall?n, for- !
merly of Springfield V. M. C. A. Col?
lege, are showing up the best among
the tackle candidates. However, Staf?
ford, the one-armed lad who captained
Fordham Prep in 1919. will make them
both work h^rd to beat him out for
their positions. This remarkable
youngster overcomes his great handicap
by his amazing pluck, and with a little
more experience should become a real
star.
There are four very promising can?
didates for the center position,
O'Grady and Walbridge, of Lafayette;
Smith, of New Britain, and Gorman,
who comes down from Rochester. As?
sistant Coach McDonald has three men
under his supervision, and should de?
velop two fairly ?rood pivot men from
among them.
Of the^iost of candidates for the end
1 positions, Banks, last year's Bucknell
captain, and Miller njake the most
' favorable impression, so far. If the
rumors circulated about the campus,
I however, prove correct, Syl Fitzpatrick,
i who, along with Joe Dumoe, was a star
end on Fordham's 1918 eleven, will re
j turn to college this week. Fitzpatrick
j would be a tower of strength to the
I Maroon line, as he is as fast as light
? ning, a wonder at intercepting forward
passes and tackles with deadly ac?
curacy.
The backfield men are also coming
! along very well. As yet no one stands
| out above the rest. Halloran and the
I Noonan brothers, halfbacks; V-.-rgara
j Meyr and Sullivan, fullbacks, and^Mulry
and Hoctor, quarterbacks, are alSnght
ing hard for berths on the first eleven.
; There is one deficiency, however, which
, must be immediately overcome. There
i is not a reliable kicker on the squad
and Dumoe will have to set to work
at once and develop some of his young?
sters in . thia ?Important part o? the

Where to Pla.ce
Robertson, Problem
_
To Syracuse Coach ;
_
SYRACUSE, Sept. 18.?Just what to
do with Harry Robertson is one of
the toughest problems to be solved by
John F. Chick Mechan, head coach of !
the Syracuse University football team.
The opening game of the season comes
next Saturday, with Hobart as the
trial horse, and Meehan has not de?
cided where he is going to play the
captain.
It is not that Robertson is not going j
to make the team. On the contrary
he is that valuable he can be used in :
any position along the line, and Mee- |
han is trying to find just where he
will work best. "Robby" was promi- I
nently mentioned as an All-American
center last year. This year Meehan
is thinking of making an end of him,
because Joe Schwarzer left a gap at
one end of the lino when he gradu- ;
ated.
The remainder of the line which at- ;
tracted so much attention last year ;
is intact, Alexander, who has one more
year of varsity football, is available
for guard again, but he may take
Robertson's position at center. That
is the original position for Alexan?
der. Thompson, Gulick, Usher, Hoople,
Clash, Culver and several other vet?
erans are ready for the other posi?
tions, including big Gus Rammi, who
stroked the Syracuse varsity crew to
a victory at Ithaca last June. Eddie
Brown is back for his old position at
one end.

Eight Games Scheduled
For Cornell t?feven
ITHACA, N. Y? Sept. 18. A squad of
some seventy candidates for the Cor?
nell football team has responded to the
call of the new coach. Gilmour Dobie,
and Schoellkopf Field is throbbing with
activity both mornings and afternoons
as the usual preliminary practice in "the
fundamentals gets well under way. ; By
the first of next week it is hoped that
upward of 100 men will be actrwly
seeking places on Cornell's eleven, and
Dobie will keep the list of entries open
well at least until the university opens
late this month. An effort is to be
made to get out every possible candi?
dato this year.
The schedule consists of eight games,
among the more attractive being the
annual contest with Dartmouth at the
Polo Grounds in New YojJt/the annual
Penn game at Philadelphia, and home
games with Colgate, Columbia and
Rutgers.
The complete list follows:

Tales of a Wayside Tee
By ORANTLAND RICE *
Copyright, 1920, New York Tribuns Inc.
Do not ease and grace frequently go
with precision? We rather think so.
Napoleon Lajoie was the most graceful
ballplayer that ever stepped upon a
diamond. His precision, both in the
field and at the bat, was of an unusual
j quality:
And certainly the most graceful golf
; er of the game to-day is Chick Evans,
1 the new amateur champion. Chick caj
j ries a ^combination of ease and grace
j that isi unapproachable.
Wheft you consider his foot action,
the dip of his shoulder, the perfect
teamplay of body and arms', the final
snap as ho hits the ball, you get a
pictur?-of perfect harmony and rhythm
beyond,, that of any amateur or pro?
fessional in the game.
?How Can He Miss?
watching Evans ? play a few
ou begin to wonder how he
could ever miss a stroke of any sort.
There is an even steadiness of his
back swing that is never hurried or j
jerky. The action of his shoulders is
particularly worthy of observation. Af- j
ter the club head has gone through j
the ball, and the ball is on/?ts way, you
will also note that Evans ??t still kept
his head down. There HHno golfer ;
anywhere who is in the &U?\i less, or
who is trapped a fcwer**?*umber of
times.
In his 30-hole match against Francis
Ouimet, with all the strain of a final
championship round, he was in a bunk
er on just two occasions, and he was ;
never in the rough. He reduced the ;
game to the startingly simple matter j
of driving straight down the fairway ;
and then pitching so close to the pin I
that it was a difficult matter to take |
over two putts.
His promenade in 69?35 for the last j
nine in the forenoon, and 34 for the |
first nine in the afternoon, included j
no putt of any particular length - bvt ;
it did include two putts.of. less thpjn
5 feet, which were missed.
His Best Shot
Evans' best shot in this championship !
match was his mashie effort. On the
third hole, in the afternoon, he was j
only 8 feet from the pin; on the fifth
he was only 3 feet from the pin; on the :
sixth he was only 1 feet from the pin;
on the ninth his approach was only 5
feet away, and on the tentl) he dropped
the ball less than 6 feet from the cup.
Ho concluded the match with a pitch I
to the twelfth green that stopped only j
4 or 5 feet from the hole. .
It was as fine an exhibition of mashie I
play as one has ever seen. When Var- j
don was moving at such a brilliant
ciip for 28'holes at Inverness, he was |
not getting his approaches as close ,
to the cup as Evans was against
Ouimet.
Ted Ray's manipulation of the mashie
is not to be compared with that of
Evans.
Bobby Jones, with his 71 against Fred
Wright, came closer than any one else
to Evans' work in this department,
but, while Jone3 in that round was as
brilliant with his seven 3s, he was not
quite as consistent.
Last August at Oakmont Evans lost
his chance to win from Ouimet by
erratic iron and mashie play, but on
this occasion he was primed. He hit
the ball with amazing confidence, after
a slow start, going straight for the
cup with fine backspin to hold the
pitch near the hole.
He was greatly improved in the final
round over his showing against Reggie
Lewis, for by Saturday he had found
himself.
Stance and Grip
Evans' grip differs from that of Ray,
Vardon,' Hagen, Barnes, Hutchison,
Jones or Ouimet.
Ouimet uses the interlocking grip.
The others all used the Vardon, or
overlapping grip.
Evans keeps both thumbs down the
shaft, the left thumb partly covered
by the right hand.
But in no other way does he over?
lap.
His stance is almost exactly the same
for every shot. His toes are slightly
turned out but on a line parallel to the
desired flight of the ball.
He does not believe in changing his
stance for different types of shots as
so many do. By keeping his feet on
one line he can use the same type of
swing, which tends to simplify the
game.
His Putting
Early this season he went to a pe?
culiar type of the center-shafted putter
recommended by Knowlton Ames, the
old Princeton football star, who is one
of the finest putters in the game.
This type of putter is quite different
in looks from the Schenectady used by
Travis and Travers.
With this putter he has done very
good work. It is a matter of record
that he outputted Ouimet when the
two met, and Ouimet has always been
considered one of th? finest putters in
golf.
Having won the amateur champion?
ship for the second time, and having
proved Ait he can hold his own on
the greeTKi, Chick will be even more
formidable than usual hereafter.
He will be a.hard man to beat next
year?or any other year for a decade?
provided he gets the chance to com?
plete his preparation.
Columbia Will Be Represented
By Formidable Team This Year
Only Task Is for O'Neill
to Pick Eleven From
Wealth of Material
Football practice at Columbia Uni?
versity ended Friday afternoon, when
Coach Frank J. ("Buck''.)'?P'Ncill de?
clared himself well pleaJ?H with the
results attained so far anjd'granted the
gridiron candidates a vacation during
the week-end.
The Columbia candidates have spent
much time with a one-man bucking
machine. This is one of O'Neill's con?
trivances. The line man assumes his
natural playing position in front of
this heavy wooden, specially padded
?machine and bucks it low and often.
After the line men have tried to knock
the dummy apart again O'Neill sends
the ends and back field men at it.
From present appearance it would
seem that Coach O'Neill' will have a
hard job picking the first team, as he
has a wealth of good material to choose
from.
Training table was established the
first day of practice and at present
there are twenty-seven athletes as?
signed to it. The total squad ubmbers
between forty and fifty men, and it is
expected that there will be as many
more candidates out when the univer?
sity opens Wednesday. The men have
quarters at the Columbia boathouse.
Coach Merner will take charge of the
freshman team when it is called out
the latter part of the week.
The men have already learned that
Coach O'Neill is a strict disciplinarian,
as he has already threatened to semi
any man who is late for. practice rive
miles around the running-track.
There ?3 no doubt that Columbia
will be represented by orte of the best
varsity elevens of recent-yjears and will
once more take her pla?? among the
leading college teams. Coach O'Neill
will send a formidable a/$ray of talent
against Trinity on Octobers 2, when the
.. Dornest to help, aeieet and!Willing work?
ers listed with tho SeleHMtKmployment
As?sete* t.?varUaea* la ? to-jflggffli -Irife-aa.-?
season opens. New York University
will be met at a later date, and there
is promise of great rivalry in this an?
nual clash. Columbia will be especially
pointed for the game with Cornell at
Ithaca on November 13 and for the
game with Pennsylvania at the Polo
Grounds the following Saturday.
The following men constitute the
squad at the present time: Captain
Jack Kienniger, Harris, Lully, Lovell,
Pullyn, Johnson, Scovil, Brodi!, Larner,
Meyer, Moszczenski, Callway, Hinch,
Walder.iji Rosen, Anderson, Eccles,
Thorntoflf Forsythe, Nohl, Moderalli,
Grace, Applebaum, Habernicht, O'Brien,
Johnstone, Canapary, DeFronzo, Healy,
Taussig, Simon, Bruce, Tierney, Jen?
