ON THE FIELD FOR FIRST PRACTICE.
A long list of men reported on Soldiers' field, Cambridge. Mass, for the
first fall practice. Among the most noted of those reporting Is Captain Dadmun,
the huskv linesman of the famous "Eddie Mahan's" 1915 team. It will be
hard task for the coaches to whip up a winning team this year, since Dadmnn
and Harte are the only veterans eligible for this year's lineup; the others are
out of the game either due to graduation or to scholastic difiiculOes. It will
be the task of the coaches Haughton and Leary to build a new team around
Captain Dadmun.

WILL BANISH SECRET PLAY
Coach Folwell of University of Penn
sylvania Announces Radical Pro
gram for Season.
Bob Folwell. who will endeavor to
restore football supremacy to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, has an
nounced a program that Is radical.
He says that all students and others
will be welcome to witness the prac
tices of the eleven, that the training
and coaching systems will be open and
above board and that If the team falls
it will be his fault and not the fault
of the material, a manly, if not always
rational, point of view to take.
"My plans for preliminary work are
all completed," he said. "There need
be no curiosity about my training and
coaching system it will be exactly
the same as that which I used at La
fayette and Washington and Jefferson.
If s different from any other system
Coach Bob FolwelL
It's my own, in other words. I don't
believe In overworking my players, and
I shan't do It at Franklin field. ThereH
be no moonlight scrimmages, either.
Fll be master, and 111 ' decide bow
much drudgery is to be done. It won't
be enough to kill the team.
"There Is another important fact
that I wish to emphasize and It is
that there will be little secret practice
this season, and the gates will be open
at all times to the undergraduates iiA
the public. Uy practices will be some
thing unique, for I guess I am some
what of a driver. There will probably
be short games between the varsity
and the scrub daily, but while the
games wRl be played with all the
rigor of a real match, they win be ex
tremely short.
"The spectators are welcome to wit
ness these battles."
