her exceedingly clever end rusher, Cumnock.
who, by the way, captains the team; her no
less sprigetly half back, Lee, who got over
the ground at an amazing rate last year, and
quarter back Harding. In the way Of eI-
perienced players, who have not been in the
team, she has no end Of men Baker, Allen
and Brooks, all of 20, who often played with
the varsity last year, are all back this year
and will probably try for the eleven Young

1t Is said, strive to gain honor for the fresh
men class by making a breaking for the uni
versity team. Dennison, '92, may come back
20 College and take up football again Ken
dricken, who played quarter back on the
Boston Latin school team last year, center
rusher GuIlivan and two other MEMBER Of
that team are all In this years freshman class
and will all doubtless take a crack at their
favorite sport.
Besides these more or less well known play
ers there are several candidates from the
preparatory schools in which Harvards In
terscholastio Football league has been In
working operation for the last year. These
mems respective abilities arc not as yet
known, but it would be queer II at least one
or two of them didn't turn out good men
Take It all In all, despite the gap made by
graduation, Harvardis chances for a strong
team this year are capital In a recent let
ter one OF her football men writes in a very
hopeful strain and says that for the first time
since he has been In college he looks to -
the crimson get away with the pennant.
The Princeton footballists haven't -dons
any great amount of blowing as yet, but It
by no means follows that they nave no hopes
of the championship.
Princeton's 'SS was composed Of;
Rushers-Speer, Cook, Irvine, George,
Janeway, Cowan and Bovaird; quarter
back, r. Hodge; half backs, Claiming and
Black; full back, Ames-
or this team a bare majority have return
ed to college this year, and 1t is not certain
that all OF them win play. Among the losses are
End Rusher Speer and Snapper Back George.
Black, Janeway, Charming and Ames are
among the returned players, and all OF them
viii doubtless return to the team. The Col
lege Of New Jersey has done very well In the
way OF capturing promising new men, and
out OF this stock may patch up a team that
will be up to her usual standard. Princeton
always does have a good team, and the crack
players who don't go to Yale generally drift
down Jersey ward
This year the influx includes Upton, one Of
the most promising of the young players; a
loca1 crack" Mowry by name, and one or
two other New Jersey youths, who are more
or less expert at the game. Just now good
the new men are probably won't appear until
the striped Jackets meet their rivals In public,
as Princetonians are proverbially foxy" In
the way of hiding their light under a bushel.
1t is rumored that Full Back Ames will
change his position for that formerly occu-
pied by Valedictorian Speer, of the class OF
1889, and play end PUSHES. Edgar Allan Poe,
'e1, has been elected captain, to fill the va
cancy caused by Ames' resignation.
Reports from Philadelphia do not indicate
any particular activity in a football way at
the University Of Pennsylvan.- The chances
are that her team will be very much like that
Of last year, which was fashioned in this man
ner;
Rushers-Ziegler, Bower, Savage, Dewey,
Sypher, Hurst and Wagenhurst; quarter
back, Church; half backs, Hume and Gala
day; full back, Hill.
Wesleyan's eleven In 1888 was;
Rushers-Crnne, go, Gibson, P. G., Eaton,
80, Gardiner, 's9, Heath, '9l, Glenn, 's9,
and Floy, 80; quarter back, Opdyke, go;
half backs. Mcdonald, '91, and Manchester,
80; full back. Slayback, '91-
From this 1t would appear that she has
lost about half her team by graduation.
Still, her elevens never vary much In caliber,
and the college world will never look to her
to put In a pennant winning eleven.
1t will be Yale, Princeton or Harvard.
