(By George R. Holmes.) (United Press Staff Correspondent.) New York, Sept 4. The sphere t'.iat comes up out of the eastern horizon mornings is beginning to assume a slightly oval form, mid those who have been speculating as to Ty Cetob's chances of finishing with a .400 average are beginning to wonder how Harvard is going to get along without Charley Brickley. The well known football sea son which has been on Its way for a year is almost here. The lid will be officially pried off two weeks from today when Coach Kel ley's Carlislo Indian bucks collide with Albright at Carlisle. A week later the big universities of the east and west swing into action and the season will bo on in full. - Little Dartmouth, which proved a Tartar for the big fellows last season, starts off with, the Massachusetts Aggies on her home lot; Colby stacks up against Har vard the same day; Penn tate takes on Westminster; Princeton lines " up with Georgetown; Syracuse with Ho bart; the University of Pennsylvania with the University of West Virginia, and the Yale crowd mixes with, the Uni versity at New Haven. The absence of any big intersectionnl combat this season has detracted a lot from the interest. Last season fans in the east and west had the Yale-Notre l)ame and the Harvard-Michigan bat tles to look forward to, but the eastern schedule makers passed up the teams from the middlo district and for the most part the games will be local quar rels. About the nearest things to clashes between the cast and west are t.ha Nntra Dame-Armv same, November 0, and the Michigan-Pennsylvania bat- tlo a week later, JNovemner id. What easterners call their first really big game comes November 0, when Princeton meets Harvard at Princeton. Sahib other pood eamcs are on the dock et. for the same afternoon with Yale meeting Brown nt New Haven; Dart mouth mectinff the University of Pcnn svlvania at Boston: Ohio meeting In diana at Columbus; Purdue meeting Iowa at Laiiyetto; Michigan meeting Cornell nt Ann Arbor, and Oregon mix ing with Washington on the Pacific const. A week Inter comes the Yale-Prince ton battle. Brown meets Harvard on the snmo dav. 'Michigan and PcnnByl vania come together; Cornell plays Washington and Jefferson; Illinois meets Wisconsin, and Kansas and Ne braska clash. The climax comes seven days later when the historic Yale-Harvard game, with all tho accompanying ceremonies, is played at Cambridge; Yale, with Brickley gone from the Crimson ranks, has high hopes of avenging last year's defeat. Two enmcs which will bo every bit as bitterly fought are scheduled for the middle west the same day the Purdue Indiana scrap and Coni'h A. Stagg's Maroons battle with Illinois. The season really conies to a close five days Inter on Thanksgiving Hay, but the eyes .of the sporting world will hardly turn from the gridiron until Un cle Sam has Bettled his private little embroglio the Army-Xavy scrap scheduled for tho I'o'o grounds the fol lowing Saturday. Notre Dnme plays Hice institute at Houston, Texas, the sumo day, and from then on the season drib bles away until December 4, when the University of Southern California plays the only game in the country against Wliittier at Los Angeles. Only Eight Contenders Are Left In Game Forrest Hills, L. I., Sept. 4. Of the ll!B entries for the national tennis championship, only eight were loft whi'n play started today in the fifth round for the title.

I ( United Press staff correspondent.) (Copyright 1915 by the United Press. Copyright in ureat rsriuun.; Soohin. Bulearia, July 27. (By mail to Niah, to Rome, to London, to New York.)-!-Tho woman who is queen of Bulgaria has 'an interesting message for the women of the umtea :hiuch. it. js that all who possibly can should learn the Red Cross work. Queen Elconorn, who bv reason of her work as a nurse on the actual field of battle in the Rus so-Japanese war and the two bullion wars has been called another Florence Nightingale, talks in a wuy familiar to American readers. Her message is such as might come from one of the Amer ican women who have won their place in world affairs. And this is not strange, for Bulgaria sometimes is call ed the America of tho Balkans. The queen was gracious when the re quest for an authorized interview was presented. Tlirougn an miermeumry toe granted it. To appreciate the authority with which her majesty speaks her subject is that of women's wotK in war Amer ican readers should know thot hhe spent years of preparation in the leading hos pitals of Europe, served them for 14 months at the head of tho Russian Imperial Ambulance in Manchuria dur ing the war with Japan, prepare.! iurtli ci for the work and served her own country when the Balkun wars begun. She worked not only in the hospifils, but unik-r tho enemy's fire at the front. Tho errvtitude of tho army and ll.e na tion was supplemented by military decorations awarded solely for personal bravery. Since the outbreak of the present war and tho strong prospect that Bulgaria mnv b drawn into it. she has worked unceasingly to perfect Bulgaria's Red Cross and hospital lacinties. Her statement to the United Press follows: "After her natural role of mother, no greater, no nobler, and no more iru i.i.rfnut field of usefulness is held out to the woman of today than' thnt of tho Red Cross or its auxiliary work. Only a woman who has known personally nil tim linrmrs of modern warfare can crusn what this field really menus.

"It was largely the desire to study your own American schools for the training of nurses that prompted my plans Inst year for visiting the United States but which the clouded interna tional horizon at the time forced me temporarily to abandon. But that is a dream which I expect yet to roulifco and in the meantime through the uid of the Red Cross unit which tho American so ciety has sent us, we are proceeding rapidly with our reorganization in Bul garia. ' "Of course my plans to study nt first hand your American hospitals and especially your hospital organisations in remote "districts far from the big centers of population, was only one- of the objects of my expected visit. "Next in importance was to have been the study of your charity organ ization und above all of your nutional, state and municipal care of the unfor tunate. Beginning as Bulgaria tin entirely new country, we want to otmiD lish its charity system, which of course has become a recognized duty of every state, on tho most ndvnncod lines thnt have been developed. These we nro cer tain we would find in Americi. Your blind, your deaf, your poor, your crip pled, your mentally deficient, wo want to know how you cure for them. True, the number of our unfortunate is not great, but this duty of tho state towards them we wont to perform in the fullest manner that modern methods and sci ence have devised. "And then, the third and Inst great object of my visit was to hnvo been the study of your problem of iinniignits. How thnt could lie of servico to Bul garia you perhaps do not see. But our problem of refugees must be very simi lar to your problem of immigrants. From the districts of Macedonia, Thrace, Rumania and Bessarabia where the Bulgarian population" is in the ma jority but which are not yet united to the common tutlierlnnd, hundreds of thousands of our countrymen flock to desire to studv vour solution of the 1 I..H., , ,i;ut,: P f "Znt tiU . . , lth tx,omt Trw villi I I 1111 nuin ' '. r J j keep thern from congesting communities unn ".
