launching were at once begun. Promptly

My dog Epictetus and l were out
hunting and strolling near a farm
where the owner was attending his
own chattel mortgage sale. We both
noticed a beautiful peacock being Of
fered by the a%uctioneer. Epic looked
at me just as the bird was going for
seventy-five cents. l could not resist
his pleading manner, so threw him a
dollar bill, which he grabbed up and,
darting through the crowd, dropped
1t at the auctioneer's feet and made off
with the peacock, which was at once
knocked down to him. Epic had a
royal feast off this prize, and, saving
the feathers, he traded them in to our
family butcher for a tenderloin steak,
which he carried to a poor widow, who
cooked it or shares. Epic never could
abide raw steaks.

and Black, and even Of these four the latter
two may be unable to play on account of
injuries. The very fact, however, that the
team this year is so much lighter than in
previous years, has led Captain Poe to de-
pend more on team play to see him through
than on heavy rush line work.
"And what do you think OF your pros
pects?" he was asked.
''That is not for me to say" was the
answer, still more modestly than before,
'for am a new man in the team and
have done nothing yet to warrant me in
comparing myself with any of last years
giants. Still, Captain Poe, who can judge
teams abilities if any one can, has ex-
pressed himself as being highly pleased
with our work thus far, and is confident
that we can win. We are working mag
nifcently together, and that, you know,
is more than half the battle. Then. too,
the record we have already made this
season has strengthened our confidence in
our abilities. OF course Yale,-as we'll as
ourselves. will have to depend on much new
MATERIAL
Capt. Poe, it is understood, does not care
to expose either. his hopes or his fears to
the enemy: but it is a fact that he has great
confidence in this years team, and believes
that their unity in action is without a par

grounds last month will long remain the
talk of both collegestudents and townspeo-
pie, all of whom unite in the pluck and
endurance displayed on the occasion by the
home team.
Another good man on the Princeton team
this year is Jesse Bright Riggs, also Balti-
more boy. The name Riggs in itself is al
most synonym for football player, for
the family had had representatives in sew
eral champion teams and there is more
material ripening for future teams. Jesse
looked upon as the. coming Star. rusher of
this year. At present he is playing centre,
but there is some talk of putting him oppo-
site Heffiefnger in the Yale game, to give
that notable gentleman little worry.
If jeremiah Sullivan Black, the right
half-back of last years champion team
can get badly injured knee we'll in time
to play on Thanksgiving day, he will
undoubtedly be found in the Princeton
rush line. Training for the t0g-of-war
team brought his weight up to such a
degree that this move was deemed best.
Jerry" as the boys call him, understands
the game thoroughly, and it is predicted
that as left tackle he will keep Captain
Rhodes. of the Yale eleven, about as busy
as possible.
Ralph Herbert Warren, always called
Pop" in college, completes the quartet of
the old team. He is looked upon as one of
the best end rushers now playing. A sure
tackler and always we'll down the field on a

does not recover in time for the Yale game,
it will be hard to fill his place. When he

of great Importance, in these November
days, seem to prevent the Princeton uni
versity football team, when at home, from
beginning practice daily few minutes
after noon and continuing it until at least
two o'clock. For the day of the great
Thanksgiving match with Yale, to be played
this year on the Eastern Park grounds, in
Brooklyn, is fast approaching, and even
the match games played during the fall
with other college and athletic club teams,
exciting and glorious though they may be
in themselves. arc chiefly regarded as being
merely preparatory to the eliminating con-
test of the season, in which championship
honors are to be held or lost. 1t sometimes
happens, though, that there is that in
Princeton sufficiently attractive to draw
even the crack football players away from
their practice. That is what happened on
certain day this week. The attraction
was relocated brass band attached to a
travelling "Uncle Toms Cabin" troupe
which had just struck the quaint old Jersey
university town for two nights stand.
Down the long village street which
stretches in front of the college
grounds came the uniformed mu-
sicians, playing martial airs and accom-
panied by attendants leading trick don
key, Shetland pony and three savage
looking bloodhounds. They halted in front
of one of tho broad, open gateways and
began midday advertising concert. 1t
still lacked few minutes of noon and not
many of the collegians were to be seen out
doors, the majority of the auditors being
townspeople, who stood on the business
