mt Harvard win Not Play Princeton This
| Yesr.
CAMpmpoE, Oct 1.-THE daily practice OF
Harvard football candidates Is showing two or
three things which havo been somewhat ap-
parent from the start. They are that the
| eleven is going to be strong back OF the rush
line. IN fact. very strong. but wofully weak In
| the centre OF the line.
The improvement which The Sun corre-
spondont stated week ago ought to DO shown
| this week, has been apparent and to-day the
team showed much better football In the game
| against Williams than It had been capable Of
until now. The raw material which had only
| boon used in the rough until this week. is now
being put through course OF sprouts. which
is developing tho men into some sort OF play

| forces who had not been counted on at all this
ycar. Ono OF the regular substitutes for end
rush last year was Mason. who went to Spring.

very afternoon Mason took his place on the end
| in tho second eleven. where ho played last
| season.
| There ia only one thing lacking in Mason TO

the country to-day. He Is. by DR.. SeargeGats
