Eastern Football Season Opens To-day -~~-'?'-""""""-""""- ' ^-^ ? ..."?'.''.". i? i i ?m With Several Leading College Elevens in Action Strong Holy Cross Team May Spring Surprise on Harvard penn to Play First Game for Coach Heisman, Facing Delaware College Outfit; Rutgers, Syracuse and Penn State Also Swing Into the Campaign By Ray McCarthy To-day marks the grand opening of the football season. It won't be guch a grand getaway, however, for Yale, Princeton and several other leading elevens will be idle. Then again, the closing of the season is always grander, as far as brilliance and closeness of contests are con? cerned. But in any event, the season will be inaugurated this afternoon and all A^t-hall followers will be interested in seeing what they can see. In the East most o? the optics of ?idiron lovers, followers et al, will be focused on the Harvard Stadium, first, because Harvard is the only te?m of the "Big Three" playing to ?t?, ?nd secondly, because this game m?\ be about the best of the day. Holy Cross will help the Crimson nsher in the season, and whether the Cambridge students win or not there ja sure to be more or less crimson spread ?bout. Harvard should and probably will come off victorious, but the Worcester eleven is prepared to put tip one of those old fashioned every Vody-kick-in- battles. It has some goad players in its line-up, and if it gets the jojnp ?ny number of things may hap? pen. * Holy Cross Formidable We have used the foregoing phrases and ?djectives in saying that this game will be a hard-fought struggle. We fig-re it this way: Holy Cross will ??obably fight tooth and nail for the fist half and may' hold the Crimson oa even terms. Then, if the Cambridge beef and brawn, of which there are con? siderable in the Harvard line-up this ??ion, hasn't sapped the entire itrength of the Purple eleven it may go on and give Fisher's eleven some-, thing to remember it by- Jh any event it should be an interesting game. . ThiB seems to be about the only real contest on the list for to-day. The other? probably will be mere work oats. Penn, for instance, will encoun? ter Delaware, but should experience no difflculty in winning. The game, how? ever, will be watched with interest, in? asmuch as it will be the Red and Blue's 5r?t showing under the tutelage of John Heisman, the veteran mentor who c?me up from Georgia Tech to succeed Bob Folwell. The whole Eastern foot? ball world will be looking to see what Heisman'? first showing will display. Penn State will entertain Muhlen berg at State College in what probably will develop into a track meet. For State it proDablv will be an afternoon's exercise: for the AUentown eleven just ? beating. The same goes for the gyracuse-Hobart contest. It will be an opMrtunity for the Orange to limber _p?ag?inst some new faces, but for hard practice the scrubs probably could do better in these two cases. Rutgers Meets Ursinas Over at New Brunswick, Rutgers will take on Ursinus. However, there is nothing to get excited about over this game, which will probably consist mojtly of straight football and which thereby will be only a drab exhibition. Bulgers figures to win by three touch? downs or more. Lehigh is playing Lebanon Valley in it? opening day contest and is apt to receive some strenuous opposition. Lebanon Valley hitherto has appeared ?t a later date on the Brown and White's schedule and generally has put te a good battle. Hobey Light, the flashy back of last year's Penn team, is coaching Lebanon this year, and be? ing fast himself will probably have a ipeedy and aggressive eleven on hand to meet the Bethlehem aggregation. There is one other game which may h? rather closely contested. That is the West Virginia-West Virginia Wes leyan struggle at Fairmount. This meeting in the past has generally taken place at a much later date. The Wes? tern students always have given the Morgantown eleven a close tussle and will probably de so to-day. These arw ?bout the only games of importance on the schedule. ' Committee to Greet U. S. Athletes at Sea Arrangements for the city's official Welcome to the victorious Olympic ath? letic team, which is to take place next Saturday afternoon and evening, were completed yesterday. The large squad of retnrning Olympi- ! ana, due on Thursday next on the Mo? bil?, will be giv?n an official greeting down the Bay, to be participated in by til?

O'Neill, Columbia Coach, Warns His Charges Colombia's football squad was again dismissed for the week end by Coach O'Neill, after a light work-out on South i Field yesterday afternoon. Due to the i large numb? of cripples and hot I weather, the daily drill was consider i ably shortened. Three teams ran | through signal practice for an hour. After practice Coach O'Neill called ! the men who are on the training table around him and warned them to keep i strict rules. He declared that any ! man breaking training would be dis missed from the squad. Robeson. for | mer star end at Rutgers, was on South Field giving the Columbia squad the ; once-over. Robeson is at present a student at Columbia Law School, but is not eligible to compete on any teams. - -?^- J Fordham Cripples Back; Syracuse Man Reports Some of Fordham's injured football candidates returned to practice at Fordham Field yesterday afternoon, and as a consequence the prospects for a winning eleven took on a much brighter aspect. Miller, one of the end candidates, who had been confined to ! the infirmary for the last week with I torn ligaments, was out for a light | work-out, and should be ready for to? morrow's scrimmage. Banks, another end, who wrenched his knee running down a punt la.:* week, will probably I don his togs to-day or Monday. Coach Joe Dumoe spent the major part of yesterday's practice putting the tentative elevens which he has se? lected through rapid-fire signal drills. Cliff Steele, former Syracuse player, reported for practice yesterday. He is very fast and is a good punter. ??' Woodring in N. Y. A. C. Medley Relay To-day An added feature of the annual fall ! games of the New York A. C. at | Travers Island this afternoon will be ? a medley relay race in wMch six of i the local club teams will oppose an | ' all-Olympic team composed of Allan Woodring, Syracuse; Jake Driscoll, Boston; Mike Devaney, New York and Larry Shields, Philadelphia. Howard Drew, the world's record holder for 100 yard3, will be a starter in the 110-yard dash. Eldon Jenne, of Washington Agricultural College and a member of the American Olympic team, will give an exhibition of pole vaulting. Gardiner White And Dyer Lose In First Round Young, After Beating "Met" Runner-Up, is, in Turn, Put Out by Knapp The unexpected popped up from every corner of the lot i i the first and sc;ond rounds of match play in the Cherry Valley Club golf tourna? ment -t Garden City, L. I., yesterday. By nightfall the home club players had got their licks in, with the re? sult that it seems quite certain the cup, or the main prize, will remain at Cherry Valley. At least there is more thr.n an equal chance that it will; for in the semi-finals, Grant Pea? cock, a Cheery Valley member, is wait? ing to meet E. S. Knapp, of the West brook Cub, while Alex Calder, a homer, will stack up against A. S. Bounre, of the Meadow "rook Club. In each case it is figured the Cherry Vallew players have the edge on their opponents, and bctt are favored to come through to the final. Gardiner White, of the Nassau Club, runner-up in th: Metropolitan tourney this year and player par excellence, was eliminated yesterday in the very first round by W. H. Young, a free lancer, who won at 3 and 2. Young, while not a golfer of note, has a habit of ? ropping in on these small tourna? ments and occ .sionally taking a fall out of some star. Young Bows to Knapp After putting out White from furthet competition, Young himself was benched in the afternoon when he suc.umbed to the prowess of E. S Knapp, of Sleepy Hollow. This was a painstaking and carefully fought struggle Neither, particularly Young took any desperate? chances during the rounc", preferring to stick to the more or less conservative type of game. Thi? contest was feature., ry the studiec: shots of the contestants. Young, al bay on the'final green, did resort to s bit of flashy play, but it availed hin nothing. He and his opponent were on th? green in 2. Knajjp had putted anc had laid Young a stymie. That per plexed and worried the latter. He ad mitted he was stuck, then gave th? situation his entire attention. H? was going to use a putter, but a care ful scrutiny convinced him a mashi? wa the necessary club. But th? mashie jump only served to get hin over trfe other ball and not into th? cup, so he lost out. 'Twas tough. ('aider's work was about the best o the . day. Besides overcoming F rani W. Dyer, who has been playing exceed ing well this season, by a score of ' end 1, he took on and defeated n other than C. E. Van Vleck, a golfe who has a lot of good shots in hi bag ever, if he doesn't always brin them into use. Yesterday was one o the days he s shooting away fror the main line, and as <3alder was a steady as the cadence of the Wes Point cadotaJtfce GreenvHch club playe stood little chance.

In the morning he elin inated Ray Thompson, of theEngineei Club, by 5 and 4, and in the afternoo he won his way into the semi-finals r. defeating Harold Rowe, score 4 and A. S.

Macbeth Though "Buddy" Ensor rode three winners at the Aqueduct track yester? day afternoon, he came a bad cropper in the feature race when he finished last in a field of three with R. T. Wilson's Thunderstorm. And, more's the pity, this sensational artist of the pigskin put up what appeared a very weak and indifferent finish on Thunder? storm. The feature was the Banquet Handi? cap, with $1,500 added, at a mile and a sixteenth. A. K. Macomber's five year-old gelding Royce Rools got the lion's share of tha prize money be? cause of a judicious and heady ride on the part of J. Mooney. This lad waited off the early pace, with Royce Rools, came to the front in the last furlong, and was going away at the end. Last Tuesday Royce Rools, at the generous odds of 20 to 1, ran a race that would have earned brackets nine times in ten, but still finished last in a field of five good handicap horses. He was but a little more than a length behind Pilgrim, the winner, at the end after getting away last and having to run to the outside of his field all around the long turn. On j that occasion Royce Jlools was run? ning the strongest at the end, and those who yesterday figured he had only to run back to that good race were not disappointed in the Banquet. Tailor Maid Sets Pace Mrs. G. W. Atkinson's three-year old filly Tailor Maid helped to put Thunderstorm on the shelf. This filly broke running for Callahan and soon I opened up a lead of a couple of j lengths. Ensor used up Thunderstorm in the early stages trying to run down I the pacemaker, while Mooney, show. 1 ing better judgment, rated Royce ! Rools off tho killing paco. Mooney ! therefore was able to save every pos ! sible inch of ground on the way home, ! while the inevitable happened to the ' other pair. Tailor Maid flew around the stretch ' turn so fas she couldn't keep the rail 1 and Thunderstorm, flying after, went ' even wider. When straightened for ! home both were out near the middle | of the course. There was room on | the rail to drive through with a wagon j load of hay. Mooney seized the op i portunity, crowded Royce Rools along at top speed, and soon was on even terms with the others. It was a gallop the rest of the way for the gelding. Rovce Rools won by nearly two lengths I in tho fast time of 1:45 2-6. A far different ride was that which ! Ensor put up on R. T. Wilson's LocuBt | Leaves, a cheap plater that won the ?fifth ?ace, at six and a half furlongs. ?"Buddy" put up a million dollar finish , against Mooney, who had the- leg up ' on. the favorite, Liola. It was a case I of one jockey laying it all over another, j rather than superiority in horseflesh, ! that decided the issue. j Liola put away Liberty Girl, the early pacemaker, and seemed to have the race won when Ensor came like a stone out of a catapult, through the last quarter. He hooked up with the favorite at the sixteenth pole. Mooney took much for granted. He attempted to save the day with a band ride and went to the whip too late, as Ensor simply was not to be denied. As a matter of fact, Ensor rode Mooney rather closely through the last hun? dred yards and twenty yards from home Beemed to bump him. But there was no complaint lodged. Locust Leaves got up to win by a nose on the post. Defeats 1 to 2 Farorite In much the same fashion Ensor brought Albert A, the second choice, home a winner over Abadane, the 1 to 2 favorite, in the third race, at a mile. He rated his mount behind the pace to the furlong pole, then came on and won in a great drive. On this occason Ensor made Kummer look pretty cheap in comparison. With Santa Cfaus, in the second dash at five furlongs, it was a different pro postion entirely. This one had all the foot and never left the race in doubt. Episode, thf? favorite, Was the con? tender all the way, and had no better excuse than Buxon in the saddle. The opening race, at three quarters of a mile, was won by Jimmy Murphy's Rood two-year-old filly, Mavourneen. Davies had all the luck at the break and, away flying, soon opened up a lead of three lengths. He needed all that room before the finish, as Teddy R. hung on gamely throughout, and came with a rush at the end. Mavour? neen lasted to win by a head. The Oneck Stable's Frigate took the last race, at five furlongs, in a hard drive from Quecreek after setting the pace all the way. Smoke Screen out gamed Pry Moon for the show by a short head. ? ? ?-? Miss Stirling to Oppofle Miss Robertson in FJnal HAMILTON, Ont., Sept. 24. ? Miss Alexia Stirling, of Atlanta, Ga., United States woman golf champion, and Miss Robertson, of Montreal, will compete in the final round of the Canadiar ladies' golf championship tournament here to-morrow afternoon as a result of their victories in the semi-final matches to-day. Miss Stirling defeated Miss Bauld of Halifax, N. S., 6 up and 4 to play. She led her Canadian opponent b> three holes at the turn and won the tenth and eleventh, the ' remaining holes being halved.

Mr. and Mr?. Marshall Beat en by Scores of 6?0, 6?2; Singles To-day By Fred Hawthorne There were no singles played yester? day, ether in the men's or women's j events, in the annual Castle Point trophy tournament of the Hoboken ?TenniaClub, these being reserved for this afternoon and to-morrow. In the mixed doubles Mrs. David C. Mills and Gerald B. Emerson, of Orange, de? feated Mr. and Mrs. Paul Martin, of New York, by a score of 6-0, 6?2, in the third round brackets. Mrs. Edward V. Lynch and Mrs. Mills will meet this afternoon in the i semi-final round of the women's sin? gles, and the winner will meet Miss ! Marie Wagner, who reached the final ! round on Thursday. Alfred D. Ham j mett and Fred C. Anderson will meet i in the semi-final round of the men's 'singles this afternoon, with the winner I to play Ludlow Van Derventer in the final to-morrow. The mixed doubles will also be finished to-morrow. The meek and much-maligned "for- ! eign correspondents" from this city who are covering the Hoboken tourney, ! have found a friend in court in the ! person of Haddon Ivins, chairman of the tournament committee, who has in? stituted a system of keeping the score boards up to date that should be copied by all other clubs. In marking up the matches played or defaulted on the first day, Ivins wrote j the results with a blue pencil, the j second day results with a red pencil, the third with black, and then went back to the blue, the red, etc., on suc- j ceeding days. How come? Simply! this, that when the correspondents j reac.h the courts fach day they know , just what matches were played on that day, and ever'thing. Next Monday, on the clay courts of the New York Tennis Club, the New j York State championship tournament j for women will begin, in accordance with the ruling of Julian S.

The race will be at a mile and a quarter and Man o' War will carry 120 pounds to Sir Bar? ton's 126. Exterminator was to have been the third horse in the match for the biggest purse in turf history, but this five-year-old was dropped when its owner, Willis Sharpe Kil? mer, insisted that the distance be one and one-half miles, the Derby route. J. K. L. Ross owns Sir Bar? ton, while Sam Riddle is owner of Man o' War. why this event is to be played ail over again, when the ?ingles had already reached the final round last June, with Miss Marie Wagner and Miss Margaret Grove, both club members, as the final? ists. Tn anawiT to the inquisitive, I can only say that, owing to one of the most unfortunate mix-ups and instances of bad sportsmanship that ever marred a tournament in this country, the final? ists could not reach an agreement as to when the final was to be played, and so it was indefinitely postponed, neither the referee nor the club making any decisive ruling in the matter. The matter was eventually brtvught to the attention of President Myrick, j who ordered that the tournament be j entirely replayed and the singles en tries redrawn. He added that Mis?! Wagner, without her knowledge, had been arbitrarily; placed in such a posi? tion in the draw as to practically insure her reaching the final round last June. The whole thing is a rather demor? alizing anti-climax to an honored tour? nament that under Other club auspices had been conducted without a breath of suspicion. It is well that Mr. Myrick hau taken official action .in the matter, for such things should not be allowed to pass unchallenged in tennis, whose fair name is'at ?stake, but there is not like? ly to be much interest in the replaying of the event, under the circumstances. The chances are all in favor of Miss Wagner winning the championship, for she has shown her superiority to any other player in the field, but, no matter who wins, the triumph and tlje cham? pionship cup will be tarnished.
