have strong team there is no longer any doubt.
The fact that the base ball team has had posses-
SION OF the grounds lately, getting ready for the
games with the De.roits, has prevented the
practice OF the foot ball team, except at odd
times. 1t Is proposed now TO 60 earnestly TO
work 1t Is proposed to secure the services Of
good coach, possibly the brilliant Poe. now
reading law In Baltimore. His system of field
coaching, followed by blackboard or chalk talks
at night, VIII tend to work MP the necessary
amount OF confidence and enthusiasm among
the players.
The question whether two games of foot ball
on Thanksgiving day would pay is the question
which now worries the manager The general
opinion Is that game with Swarthmore on
that day would pay. but not so well as it would
II played before or after Thanksgiving. In ad-
dition to the game with Swarthmore. Manager
Wells is in correspondence with q number Of
good teams, any one of which will be an attrsc-
ton. The dates as arranged will be completed
and published later.
Following the candidates for the several
positions In which they have recently played:
Center-Boyle or Nietch.
Guards-w. H. Lewis. Davis, Sanders, Cissell.
Tackle-Johnson, Gapen, Bowen, Vietch.
Hooker.
Ends-staley, Brainard, Brown, Hooker,
Wurdeman, Gapen. Quackenbush.
v,
Half backs-Townsend, acting captain; Pey-
ton, Gordon, Harder. Leet, Vaughn.
! Full back-Wurdeman or Quackenbush.
Among the guards and center and tackle can
didates are some very heavy men. Boyle weighs
/ 200. Davis 200. Cissel $50, Bowen Brown Un,-
yersity man, lis; Victch $50. Generally speak
ing, 100 or thereabou;s is too heavy for
tackler unless he can be quick with it. In prac-
tlce the heavy men named above have shown
that they are not only heayy, not fat, but smart
to get about, and their weight makes them all
the harder to handle. There is sharp competi-
ton for all the positions and Capt. Townsend is
putting the men through all the PAGES.
To help the team in practice as well as to de-
velop material to draw from in of neces-
sity, the reserves, composed Of lighter men, are
in daily practice. Among the candidates for
this team are Leopold. Bright, Sanforth. Brit
well. Davidson, Quinn, Clapp. Jenney, Lebigh
player, and a number of others.
The new uniforms will arrive this week.
The code of signals now being worked out is
said to be something new in that line in this
vicinity, though simple TO the players. yet ''past
all understanding" to those on the other side Of
the line up.
THE coLUNBIAs.

past week of practice has found the men who
will compose the Gao. foot ball team:
Ends-Welch and Weaver: guards. Rainier
I
captain; center, Will Church; quarter backs
Lewis and Burrows; Half backs, Catlin and
HALEY; full back. Shields.
1t is hoped that later in the month Bob Wade
can be induced to play center and il will very
materially strengthen what seems in nearly all
teams through the country the weakest spot.
The old players are showing up in good form.
Shels Is doing some fine punting and lis play
ing shows marked improvement. Catlin, one
of the best half backs this country has ever
had, is a great favorite with the team. HALEY
is Cornell man and played half back on the
team of the so class. Tinker is a new man and
a heavy one and will make an excellent guard.
Rainier is in fine form ard his playing better
than ever and his rushes Just as effective
NeaZey will be missed from the team, but his
going out of town for the winter will deprive
the club of his valuable services. Nelson, a
rowing man. may possibly be induced to play.
The reserves are in daily practice and Capt
MCGOWAN is getting good work out of his very
willing lot of PLAYERS. Mann and Lewis and
Harlan are showing decided improvement in
their work. S. E. Darby. an old Naval Acad-
| envy man. is playing regularly and hopes to
mate" the team. Ralph and Harry Lee and
