New York, Sept. Jl.—Football for the
season of 1806 makes Its appearance
today with a few contests nmong minor
colleges. The big universities will not
fall Into line until a week or so later.
The football rules In their revised form
are to be given their first practical test
and coaches, players and the general
public are waiting to see what the sea
son will bring Ajrth. It Is certain that
about everything has been done along
ethical lines to Improve the great col
lege sport, nnd tho season's play should
be clean and fair.
In summing up the outlook of the big
teams of tho East, It may bo said that
they are on more even terms at the
start than they wore a year ngn. All
ef the "Big Five" have lost several
veterans, but the losses are nlinost
squally severe In each cnse. Tnlo and
Harvard are the heaviest losers, while
the prospects at the Unverslty of Penn
sylvania, Princeton and Cornell are
repotted unusually bright.
PHILLY M/iY
GET THE PUGS
New York, Sept. 22.—Jack McOulgan.
manager of the National Athletic Club
of Philadelphia, has wired an offer of
66 per cent of the receipts to hold the
McGovern-Corbett fight at his club
They have agreed to split the share
turned over to the fighters by the club
on a basis of 66 per cent to the wlnne,
and 36 per cent to the loser.
McOulgan’s offer Is likely to be ac-
cepted by the fighters. It was his
manipulation that brought them to
gether originally and started them do-
Ing business.

Over Football Prospects
The first full week of regular football
practice ot Tech ends Saturday night, nnd
only five more days are available for prac
tice before the opening game of the sen-
son. which comes next Saturday, with
Maryville college.
The week has been most discouraging to
A1 supporters of Tech.
Of the three veterans who turned up
nr regular practice, 8atn Robert* was
forced to leave on account of 111 ness, and
only Lock and Hweet remain.

It Is all up to Coach Helsmnn, the WIs-

New York, Sept. 22.—Ernest Keeler,
bent low over the steering wheel of a
big 45-horse-power Olds machine,
passed over the storting line of the
Vdmierbllt cup course on the stroke of
6 o'clock this morning nnd the elimina
tion races for American cars was be
gun. A grent cheer went up from the
grand ttond, where men and women of
th(% ”400" were gathered, oh a plucky
driver with his machinist, Harry Mul
ler, hugging him close, whizzed down
the beautiful stretch of oiled turn
pike and was lost to view In the early
twilight and mist.
Before the men and women In the
grand stand had time to turn from
looking after Keeler a second chugging
gave warning that.nnother of the groat
machines was brenklng out from the
line-up. In another Instant, the ma-
hlne spitting fire, Herbert R. Little,
driving a 120-horse-power Pope-Tole-
do, shot past the grand stand and
started In mad pursuit of Keeler. In
rapid succession the other entrants
Hashed by until all were thundering
around the course ‘at terrifying speed,
and the great race wns In full progress.
Just before the beginning of the race
the representatives of the Maxwell-
Brlscoe Company, who had entered the
35-horse-power Maxwell car,
nounced that "Wally" Owen had been
withdrawn. This left only 12 cars In
the race.
Willi* on Hand.
W. K. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Vander
bilt left their summer home nt Lake
Success at one end of the course long
before daybreak nnd started In Mr.
Vanderbilt’s big Mercedes touring car
with the young millionaire at the wheel
for the grand stand at Westbury.
Mr. Vanderbilt made the run to West
bury over the roads of the course In
almost record time. Upon reaching the
grand stand he left Mrs. .Vanderbilt
there and then started off with his
chauffeur and one of the members of
the racing board ovqg the cup race
course.
Mongini a Hero.
A real burst of applause greeted Mon
gini when he reached the starting line
seated in his 60-horse-power car. Mon
gini sprained his wrist badly several
days ago during tfje practice spin nnd
the Injury became so bad last night
and early today thnt C. A. Ringer, who
entered the car, offered to withdraw
his entry, but Mongtnt insisted on go
ing Into the race.
The determined fellow’s wrist was
bandaged as he held the wheel, but It
could be seen that he was still suffer
ing from pain.
Dr. Finn, of Garden City, looked
Mongini over Just before the start In
the contest and gave him one more In
jection of morphine to mitigate his
suffering.
All during the night the pain In
Monginl’s wrist was severe. Repeated
Injections of morphine were necessary.

wns In one of the front boxes, she Jumped
from her chair, waved her arms wildly nml
shouted until she was hoarse. All the
grandstand cheered her nnd her fiance.
Dlngley, Lyttle's mechanician, showed a
ldt of grltn heroism on the third lap. As
the I’ope-Tolodo ear was passing the garage
the company had built nt Hulls Head, one
of the attendants stood ready with a can
of oil for Dlngley ns the tnnchlne passed
Two of these cans of oil nre ready to pass

the lubricant.
As tin* man passed the first can to Ding-
ley he lifted It too high nnd dashed It Into
the mechanician’s face. With a gasp, Ding-
ley sank bnck Into his seat, apparently
overcome. Rut with a prodigious effort
he recovered himself, knowing that In an
other second he would have to grasp the
second ran of oil. He did so utid fainted,
hut was afterward revived.
When the .racers lind gone nearly four
lap* around the course the clouds, which
had been threatening, broke and u heavy
rain fell, making tho already slippery road
all tho more dangerous.
Many of the people In the grandstand be
ing without wraps fled, but W. K. Vander
bilt, Jr.’s, party, in the box facing the
starting line, remained.
Mrs. Vanderbilt borrowed her husband's
rubber coot.
During the wait In the sixth lap, while
the crowd was killing tlnlb for the cars to
sweep past the grandstand, Wllllnm K.
Vanderbilt nnd Harry Payne Whitney
nniusod everyliody with their horse pity.
Vanderbilt, who wns In his box, leaped
to the rail preparatory to crossing to the
officials’ stand on the other side of the
track.
Whitney seized him nnd the pair strug-1
gled until Vanderbilt wns sent stumbling
to the floor, overturning two chairs, nnd
there wns a good-natured wrestling match"
befwccnethem when Vanderbilt got to his
feet. Finally he broke away nnd went out
i the track.
In u few mliTutes Vanderbilt got his re-
>nge, for Announcer Protity appeared with
his megnphone and roared: "By special re
quest, Mr. Harry Payne Whitney will now

Kvervliody laughed nnd Mr. Whitney
umped up on a chair, bowed right nnd
course was at the northeast turn at
East Norwich. This Is one of the dan
gerous points of the course, and here
somewhat back from the road, but on
both sides, were grouped several auto
mobiles filled with men and women.
The grand stand at Westbury began
filling fully an-^nour before the time
scheduled for the start of the race. Be
sides Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mr. Breeze
and Mrs. Thomas, some of the other
early arrivals in the boxes and seats
were Mrs. Sydney Love, Mrs. Albert
Terwllllger, A. J. Morgan, EL C. Fitz

Gather at tha Curve.
"Hair Pin Curve,” one of the moat
dnngerous turns on the course, waa the
gathering place of hundreds of private
cars. Shortly after midnight they be
gan to arrive and there waa much
maneuvering and Jockeying for advan
tageous positions. At the most peril
ous po)nt of the curve is stationed a
telegraph vole, which, during the turn-
Ing-up trials of the auto racers has
brought more than one driver to grief.
The curve run* through the center
of an open space about a hundred yards
square. As the automobiles chugged
up to the spot, they formed two banka
on either side of the course. Hundreds
of automobiles were driven here be
cause they could not secure accommo
dations.
All night long the Westbury hotel
was besieged by applicants for rooms,
but the hostelry had been sold out the
night before. Farm houses In the vi
cinity were appealed to, but these, too,
were crowded from kitchen to garret.
So the sight-seers had to content
themselves with camping out all night
in thetr machines, lap robes and cush
ions serving to make them comforta
ble until they were awakened by the
signal Indicating the start of the race.

against An even $1,000 that one of the
three Thomas cars which he has en
tered will finish first In the elimina-
tory trials. The betting odds- on the
Thomas entries Just before the race
was at even money.
Weather it Bad.
The weuther conditions, before the
start were unfavorable and disagree
able. The wind wks east with a strong
feeling ot rain In the air. A mist hung
over the course and many women who
had camped out In their machines over
night shivered beneath their wraps as
they huddled In the corners to the ton
neaus.
Before daybreak the sights In the
zone at various points along* the 29-
mile course were weird and strange.
Automobiles driven by members of the
racing board and by hundreds of the
visitors to the great races, ablaze with
their brilliant lanterns, flashed by along
the roads like so many demons of the
night.
All the "Whlzx-Whizz" machines
were here, there and everywhere; those
not speeding fj*om place to place along
the course were bankd along the va
rious turns where most of the exciting
incidents of the race were expected to
