200 Don Pads for Football Inter-House League Tourney

Long, thin, skinny ones and big, round, fat ones swathed themselves in the "Old Look" yesterday, and the inter-House football league ambled off into another rough and tumble season.

The athletes were coming in all sizes. Also, they were coming in all sorts of conditions, the natural result of summers spent anywhere from Pigalle to the Pampas. One scrawny week has been set aside for the late comers to the House League to fatten into shape before the season begins.

To make sure that this week of conditioning is observed, Dolph Samborski, House Athletic Director, closed registering yesterday except for men cut from the Varsity and Jayvee squads. These have already warmed up.

Since the first days of practice a week ago the House squads have doubled and now all the teams carry enough pounds spread out among enough men to grid a full team and still have some expendables.

Schedule for First Week Set

The timetable for only the first week of play is now ready for print. It goes: Kirkland vs. Dunster and Leverett vs. Winthrop on Wednesday, October 13; Dudley vs. Adams and Lowell vs. Eliot on Thursday, October 14. The rest of the schedule is lost among the H.A.A. brass and their respective secretaries but will be out in the open this week.

The season will be run off as a round-robin, each team getting one chance at every other. The robin of the season will clash colors with the winning flock of Yale tweeters Friday, November 19. Traditionally there is also a playoff between the League worms.

Two Leagues Considered

At first, Samborski dickered with the idea of running two leagues with a playoff between the two winners for the Yale game honors. The purpose: a more camel season for both players and coaches.

Popular request, however, caused him to drop the idea and take up the present one in which no team will play more than twice a week, and usually only once. The quarters will be eight minutes during two-game weeks and ten minutes during the others.
