mined. The eleven is captained by Thorn
ms G. f. Trcrchard, who led the Tigers to
victory last year, and Phil King is at the
head of the coaching department.
Yale is even moro fortu latC ON the mat
ter of veteran material than Princeton, as
nearly every member of last years eleven
Is again in football harness. Frank y.
lIinkcy, who cnptained the team in 1893,
is still in control and among the candi-
dates for tho eleven arc Murphy, McCGca,
Hfckok, Stiliman. Brown, Beard, Green
way. Adcc. Butterworth, Thornc, Arm
strong and others Walter Camp, "tho
father of football" has watchful eye
on the players, as usual, and nothing is
done without consulting him. Yale will
doubtless refuse To play Pennsylvania this
year In order that her team may be In bet
ter form for the great battles of the year
with Harvard and Princeton. Last year
Yale defeated Pennsylvania lat e, which,
as the score shows, was wonderful
game on the part of the ambitious Qua
llors Exactly two weeks later Yale do
fcatod Harvard and her bruised and bat
tered cohorts had only week of rest be
fore they were compelled to buck the Tiger
and see the beloved blue humblcd i'll the
dust Yale will not again play three
hard games against her most powerful
rivals in three weeks if she can avoid it.
Sho is bound by contract to play Harvard
Nov ~ and cannot change the date, but
she will ondcavur to play Princeton later
than Thanksgiving day, Nov. 80.
Harvard has not won from Yale since
1890 and vii. strain every nerve this year
to plant the crimson standard above the
blue Last fall Captain Bertram G. Wa
tiers was reelected, contrary to the instruc-
tions of the athletic committee who OPP
posed him because he was a graduate and
who refused to ratify his selection by the
football squad Robert W. Emmons, who
has played on the eleven ever since he has
been in college and who is the best end
rush at Harvard, was chosen in his stead.
OF last years team Emmons, Manahan,
Beale, Stevenson, Wrightington and
Brewer are candidates for the eleven this
year, and there are many strong new men
for the vacant positions. DIR. Billy Brooks
heads the coaching department, and his
assistants are Robert Bacon, captain of
Harvard eleven of years ago, and Lorin f.
Deland, tho inventor of the flying wedge
and other momentum plays that are not
in high favor this year. Princeton is very
eager to play Harvard this year, but the
crimson eleven has already refused to
meet the Tigers.
With such well seasoned players rs
Knipe, Osgood, Brooke, Gilbert, Newton,
Roscngarten, Upton, Woodruff and Wag-
enhurst at call, Pennsylvania seems well
qualified to continue her meteoric shoot
toward the top of the football heap. Penn
sylvania will probably meet Princeton in
New York about Nov. 3 and Harvard in
Philadelphia on Nov 90. The team is
captained by Knipe, the shot pulitzer, and
John c. Bell looks after the coaching.
The colored fancers of football are said
to be betting on Princeton this year be-
cause in her first days practice Princeton
had Al men ON the field, divided into four
'elevens. 1t certainly seems good policy to
back Princeton, with 4-11-44 so prominent
~ in evidence. EARLE H. EATON.
