Probably even before all the dew Is off the grass, Warner will have his men out for their first session, Just how much will be done on Wednesday will depend on the condition of the men when they report. All who hav- shown up here so far are In splendid shape, and eager to be up and at it. Not all of the men will report before going to camp. Wissinger lives In Johnstown, and will go direct, and several others residing In that district will do likewise. However, most of the boys reside In Allegheny county or contiguous territory, and will come here to report.

Seventy candidates arrived here yesterday to get together on the many student problems which confront high schools of Pittsburgh. In the session are varsity men, presl- I "established -''t their school duties. Warner is fully awake to the fact that one of the biggest tasks of his entire coaching career Is just ahead of him. The situation at the local institution this fall peculiar. Hard-1 )y ur of last year's regulars will be back.

The "Old Fox" will have to rebuild V. ri.m.n1 tin V.vprv ripnart- 11UW 1 1 lllhV. Ul'i -J I ment has felt the inroads made by the passing of veteran players, and there wiU be many strange faces in the team which plays its first gams here against "Jock" Sutherland's Lafayette aggregation on Saturday, Oct. C. Just how Pitt has been hit is best illustrated by naming the 11 men who faced Penn State at the start of the game here last Thanksgiving day.

They were WiUlams and Sauer at the ends, Simpson and Gourley at tackles, Hack and Clark at guards, Bowser at center, Wlnterburn at quarterback, Flanagan and Anderson at halves and Hewitt at fullback. There will be just two of these men in camp this fall. Gouriey is still in school, but he Is no longer eligible for varsity competition. He has played his three years of varsity football He wiU be a law student this fall. "FRENCH KKEUETTK LOST.

The others have all graduated. Hewitt received an appointment to the United States Military academy and la now at West Point, where he ought to be a bearcat behind the line. In addition to these regulars, a large number of promising substitutes have also hit the graduation trail. Tommy Hollcran, the 1922 captaon, did not start the State game, but he, too, is among the missing, having graduated last spring. Wagner was counting on "Frenchy" Fredette, but he will not be able to use him, the faculty having ruled that his scholastic status was not such aa to warrant his registering.

Warner had 32 men on his varsity quad at Camp Hamilton last fall, and more than half of that number are missing now. It is a question if any college team In the country has been compelled to face a situation like this, which gives an insight Into the enormity of the task ahead of the coaches. Warner will unquestionably do a lot of experimenting at Camp Hamilton. He may have a number of men variable for one department and not enough for another. This will mean that he will have to do some shifting in order to get the best possible combination for the hard games on the (schedule.

He will have 40 men available from the left-overs of the 11)22 varsity squad and the recruits from last year's freshman bunch. He will fashion his team from this material, and It remains to be seen just what the result will be. i The situation Is not hopeless, according to the Pitt authorities. They have it that the Panthers will put forth a fighting, aggressive front, although they will be up against odds in most of their games. Nevertheless, tho indomitable Pitt spirit will be In svtdence, and the teams which trim the Blue and Gold will know they have been through a battle.

TEAM W11X SHOW FIGHT. The fact that conditions are not as favorable as they might be Is merely expected to spur both coaches and players on to herculean efforts, and It ia expected that the result of their co-operative efforts will be a team that will creditably uphold the honor of the Blue and Gold, regardless of the outcome of the games on the schedule. The program would be a touch one, even if the team were one of the strongest the university ever boasted of. No "easy marks" were picked out when the card was put together, and thera Is scarcely a breathing space from the moment the lid is lifted with Bucknell at Lewisburg on Sept. 2D until the Hugo Bezdekians are tackled here In the annual Thanksgiving day tangle.

It is a case of one hard game after another, and the fan' who ex-peot tho Pittites to go through it without encountering a setback is decidedly unreasonable. The most -that Is promised by any one at Pitt is that the men will be well trained, well conditioned, and that they will give their best in every contest iu which they engage. Everything Is set for the departure for crfmp on Tuesday. The squad leaving here will be in charge ol Student Manager K. F.

Boulton, who will have 10 assistant managers to help him in the work at Windber. All of the details there will be handled by students who have volunteered their services. Ollie IeVlctor, the trainer, is already in camp, and is prepared to give the men some expert attention ss La the past. He will toll under Improved conditions this fall, a number of changes hsvlng been made in the amp. Tha cook this year will be George Klrkland, who will be assisted by ht brother Tom, who came up from tha aunny southland to help the Panthers get into shape.

SOME FLA VERS JO FROM HOME. While Coach Warner no doubt wiU keep his charges busy much of the time every day, double sessions being on the program, there will still be time for other things, and golf Will bo one of the recreations. "Chalky" Williamson now holds the course record of 27, and has Issued a challenge to all anl snndry to beat It Ha was an Instructor In the Pitt frngtuofttiir school thla summer, and fore going to camp.

This will be the last year the quartet will be together, as Warner goes to Stanford for the season of 1021, and. "Jock" Sutherland will be in charge here next fall. Dr. H. Carlson, who is to have charge of the Pitt freshman football fortunes again this fall, will also spend some time at camp, and will In a position to render valuable aid to the varsity Instructors.

With the bases full and no outs, Chicago was retiitd on two force plays at the plate sod a strikeout. The young Langley HUh player had pitched himsel' out of a very deep hole but he has unfailingly proved to be a last-minute man his destinies as a Camp Porier.it.

Locke, the witty Pittsburgh attorney and who you might call Camp Porter" best friend, is about so-so in all kinds of sports, taking a stab at anything just for the fun. But most of the contests on the diamond and court are for blood and not for fun, so the judge finds himself amicably situated hear the bench, splurging hia cynical remarks at the umpire and the players. Particularly was his chatter of high order when Herr Bothwell came to bat. Bothwell has no form but he goes through the motions and often looks up after swinging to find that he has negotiated a base hit It Is then that the honorable judge foams in fury, knowing that he personally could not hit a basketball were it pitched to him. The judge, then, in search of some startling activity of which he might be the main spring, announced at dinner that he had signed up what he believed to be 10 of the mushiest mushball players in camp, and furthermore, these players had banded themselves into the Locke-Step Semi-pros and were thereby open to challenge Not many challenges get by the competitive veins of a Porterlte and especially any son of old Johnny Bull.

L. E. station at supper time, according to daylight saving, 55 minutes behind tho schedule. Writh their blood as red as their cheeks, thoee hundred and some manly campers whisked away from their Lake Erie tentage with moistened eyes and heavy hearts. They were leaving the land of promise and Americanization.

Camp Torter to them Is the sacred hunting grounds where men are men, one to the other, a perfect co-ordination of fellowship andservice. For 10 months now, the Pittsburgh T. M. C. 60-acre site will be but Camp Porter in name.

The spirit has been carried on to the four corners of the big city. In its high schools and In Its business the incomparable and mysterious Camp Porter spirit will radiate from the smiles and hearts of these young fellows who exemplify democracy. During the nine weeks of the camping season a half thousand Pittsburgh sons lived the life of a Camp Forteiite. Watch these fellows this winter and observe what association and organization have done for the commonwealth. Point to Earl Bothwell and his 50 collegiate pals.

Therein all the glory lies. In bringing to a close the greatest of the three seasons, the campers celebrated the final day in feast and revelry. From 5:30 o'clock to shortly before 9, the dwindling hours of the camping year were observed amidst the crowded quarters of Harbison dining hall. Dinner was prepared In the royal way, under the expert cuisine of Jim Godfrey.
