was particularly good The Wesleyan game
must not be taken a criterion of Ysle's abi-
/ ity. The eleven lacks team work. Hard,
steady prac tice, with good coaching will quickly
eradicate this trouble, and BY the time the
championship season opens the Yale eleven will

PRrNcEToN's TEAM
The strength of Princeton cannot be fairly

I Wednesday rather disappointing to her
supporters, "a but sixteen points were scored

/ been named. The condition of the weather
must however. be taken into consideration.
During the game rain, snow and sleet each had
their inning. making the grounds and ball
I slippery, that fumbling was an evident
fault. Capt King, ''Our Phil" as ne is called
| in Washington. has undoubtedly made wise
move by changing his position from quarter to
half-back. He is too good q ground gamer TO
be next TO the line. Poe, a younger
an excellent quarter. He passes
with precision and utilities his place with good

showed up well and will undoubtedly make a
valuable man. Ballet, at center, Is a prize.
His ability in that position while on Lehigh
eleven for the past three years won for him
a reputation which cannot be disputed.
Princeton's line is a strong one and a good
record may be expected during the coming sea-
son from the orange and black
WESLEYAN SLOWS UP WELL.
OF the smaller colleges Wesleyan would seem
to be the strongest. Under the coaching OF
BILLY" Bull they have developed an eleven
which will give the big teams hard struggle.
Gordon. the full-back, is one of the best men In
that position, behind the line, in this country.
He il cool, quick, an exceedingly strong punter

make him most valuable. The team has been
strengthened By the return Of Hank" Hall .one
OF the best men who ever played at that college.
The team IL big. heavy one and puts up a
hard. aggressive game. 1t viii be y surprise il
the University OF Pennsylv ania is able 20 win
from them this season.
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
The University Of Pennsylvania seems to be
overburdened by q surplus OF materisl-not a
great drawback. In each of their games they
have tried several men in the various positions.
Nagcnhurst Is nov coaching them. and when
the men are sifted down and the chosen team
result In Camp they have half-back who
would be an addition to any team.
LEHIoH UNIVERSITY.
Lehigh has been well coached by Hartwell of
Yale. and from all reports is playing a beauti-
fully scientific game Their interference and
tackling is said to be almost perfect They are
handicapped by great lack Of weight in the line,
as the average weight Il only 100 pounds. Ord
way OF this city, Hutchinson, McClung and
hoderick make very strong combination of
backs. Their play together is said to be
admirable.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY.
Cornell is u dark horse from which great
things are to be expected. They have a big
roster from which to choose, and a winning
team should be Forthcoming.
OTHER coLLEGEs.
Williams Lafayette and Dartmouth have
teams which are probably on par with those
OF last year.
GOALS AND ToUCHDowNs.
Richards of Yale has been coaching the VIII
liams team.
The Garfield brothers, "Abe and Jim," sons
Of the late President Garfield, are the two half
backs Of the Williams team.
Owing 10 his fathers objections Cross the
promising candidate for guard ON Yale's team
has given up playing.
Cranston coached the Harvard eleven on
Thursday. The practice was the best of the
season.
Howard. wesleyan's left tackle. was injured
In practice game on Thursday and will prob
ably be laid up for some weeks.

move Is regarded a beneficial one
The story comes from Chicago that William
Crawford, who last year captained the ALL
University eleven Of that city. has an aggrega-
ton OF foot ball talent with which he will start
east on October 20 for an extended tour The
team as announced is as follows: Holcomb and
Peters, who will alternate at center; Heffel-
finger, Lewis and Janeway, guards: Malley
rafferty,, Award, Haworth and Harding
tackles; HaElin, Lockw God, Sager Remington
and Donneuy, ends; Dean and Yazer quarters;
Crawford, sturges, Award and Haworth,
haif-backs, and Snake Ames, full-back such
team. well trained and in good condition,
would be world besters. but. like many other
announcements of this character, this list given
Is probably that OF PLAYERS now residing in
Chicago. An effort to get them all together
for a trip would meet with little success. a. most
Of those named are in business which they can
no, Ii slect.
Chicago can also be credited with the rumor
that certain patrons q, athletics in that city are
interested IN organizing professional foot ball
league. Their idea Is that the game can be
made 10 supplant base ball as the national
game. The scheme, IL is stated, il backed
financially BY wealthy members OF the Univer-
sity Club. whose interest in the sport dates
back 10 college days.
