He says' his work in the lumber camp has put him in almost perfect condition and that he can stand any kind of a gruelling practice period.

Smith left college a year ago to enter the Army and did not return when discharged from the artillery service, where he won a lieutenancy.

arranged what I looks like the hardest schedule Pitt has ever undertaken. From what I can learn there Is not a soft spot on I it. This means that my boys will have to be kept in a high state of development for to full months, and that is some task, mere is not point the schedule where Pitt will be able to let down and rest up. "It is too much to expect a team to go along year after year without suffering a defeat, and it may be that the Panthers win meet their Waterloo before the coming campaign is very far advanced." Warner was never known to be an optimist at this stage of a football season. Many of those conversant with the abnity of the Panther coach and the calibre of the candidates who will start for camp tomorrow refuse to be gloomy, although they are will- ln? to admit that the task ahead of the Pitt mentor this fall Is the biggest he has undertaken since coming here.

Warner plans to hold the first practice session at camp on Tuesday. For a few days the work will be more of less elementary. truer short time to size up tne pnysicai qnalificatlons of his material before he goes in for the harder work that must follow. tn less than a week, however, the Panthers will be down to hard work, for no time will be lost. The athletes will be kept busy right along until they return to Pittsburgh a week before the ppening game with Geneva at Beaver Falls.

One week later comes the first con- test of the season at Forbes Field the game with West Virginia Uni-! versify, one of the real rough spots! on the local schedule.

It is apparent from thi tnat Coach Warner will not dare all any grass to grow under his feet in preparing his men for a tougft season.

said last night: "We are not doing any boasting this fall, for we all realise that Coach I Warner has the biggest task on his lione i ha vr ho r-nrtn. i here. Many followers of our team seems to be, of the opinion that we cannot be beaten, but they are likely to change their opinion before the coming season draws to a close. Warner will have 43 men under him at camp. Of that "number, only nine are men who have won their varsity letter in competition.

The nine are Tom Davles. Capt. Jimmie Dehart, Andy Hastings, Herb Stein, Harman Mervis, Hornor, Morrow and Mccracken. "Of the others 22 have played on the scrubs in past season. We lost 15, letter men by graduation last prirg.

They will be in eood trim, however, as both of the athletes have been doing hard labor during the summer aa as ngagins in at least two baseball games per week. In addition to their baseball they have been working out With a football for several weeks.

Pauley has also had this training as he has performed tlie function of an electrician at Glen White for several months. Just what day Capt- Peter Calac will reach here is not known. He has I I i Morrow to seek him as a developer of the Presidents' backs this fall. Tibbens will resume his work as a surgeon in a Philadelphia hospital about October 1, but he will have three full weeks with the Ked and Black candidates prior to that time, Inasmuch as this will be the forma-tive period in the development of the Red and Black machine it is expected to count for much. By the time Tibbens relinquishes his work here Coach Morrow will have ascertained pretty definitely what backfield men he can -count upon for varsity places.

John Aiken, the old W. J. captain and quarterback, later a lieutenant colonel with the Twenty-eighth Division, will also be able by that time to give a lot of attention to the Presidents. Just now Aiken has a political fight on his hands, being a candidate for the Republican nomination for register of wills of Washington county. The primaries come on September 16.

liood Backs needed. Just what the early procedure at College Field will be has not been made known and much will depend upon the character of the material that is presented to Coach Morrow. While the Red and Black tutor is a great stickler for defense of an adamant character, he is also determined to have a scoring machine. It is apparent that the Presidents want no more a situation that was presented In 1917 when the team was so powerful on the defense that it would stop almost any attack while unable to make scores itself; Morrow, without relinquishing his idea of a strong defense, has freely (stated that he expects this year; to build up a scoring machine if it is in the material. t1 Whut what the coach hoping for a w-i Ann among his recruits is a brace or trio of big powerful backs who can advance the ball.

He has a tre-mendons asset in Smith and he will have ends and tackles who should be among the best the institution ever developed. Bixler is counted upon I to show greater prowess than ever before, so that two or three more good backs should give the team a powerful backfield.
