How a Football Eleven Trains For Fierce Gridiron Battles (By MANHATTAN) NKW YORK With tho coining all th* l football squads report for duty 1 and the active work of Relenting (he teams and conditioning the men will h-j under way. In fact, all the squads »*x refit those of Princeton and Cornell al readv are at work and these two mem bers of the foot ball Hi* Six start In on Monday. Few except those in the game realize what the early days of the training sea son means to tin; football player. While the August days are still un comfortable with summer heat foot ball player begins the first course In the preparation which is to harden him for the big contests scheduled three months away. This preparation varies in a multitude of ways. Some combine business and truinlng by selecting a vo cation which gives them plenty of hard work In the open air, while others. In perhaps more fortunate circumstances, train a few hours a day on the outskirts of some seashore or mountain summer resort. Whichever way they may select, to begin their training they are expected to report to the head coach at the open ing of the college season in fit physical condition to take up the second step of the training course. Under the supervision of their captain coach and trainer, the more serious work is begun. For the first few days little is attempted beyond the kicking and catching of the football, running practice to improve the wind and endurance of the candidates, and possibly an occa sional lineup for illustrative purposes with all scrimmage work eliminated. At. the beginning of the second week the half hour practice Is lengthened into twice the time and while the rudimen tary instruction Is continued, tackling, defensive and offensive formations and a little sclrmmage work is Injected into the training.

Next the scrub, or second team, as It is known, is called into operation, and the practice licgins to acquire the as pect of a regular football game. As the players of the two teams contend under the watchful eye of the coaches, the latter point out and rectify errors In form and tactics which the players may i develope. The training table is siarteit and the rubbers begin to be called Into I use at the end of each afternoon’s work j in order to massage away the bruises and strains incidental to the practice. There come tho prelVmnary games of the season, which with the afternoon u practice each day kce(t the candidates well occupied between the close of re citation and t lie dinner hour. Hy Tho middle of October both the coaches and trainers know the physical and mental peculiarities of their charges and fit tho training schedule to meet their require ments so for as Is possible. The squad of perhaps sixty-five candi dates has been reduced f*o per cent by the elimination of those unfit from one cause or another, to stand the strain of football piny, and the remaining candi dates are begining to bo divided Into those mystic sections known as varsity and second squads. Now approaches the period when, with the big games less than a month away, the eleven players with ability and playing peculiarities must be welded into a perfect football machine that acts with resistless force at the command of the quarterback. The prac tice on the field grows border and is pro longed until darkness puts a stop to It on many an afternoon. The diet of the players Is watched with Increasing care and the service of regular physicians and surgeons are called in as occasion may require. Afternoon practice is augumented by early morning work, consulting of drop kicking tackling and other features or SOCIETY MAN BOXED O'BRIEN TO A DRAW PHILADELPHIA A. J.
