are the most promising men for the other
tackle. Gilbert Green way, brother of last
years end, is playing well in his brother S
/ position. Lyman Bass is another promis-
| Ing candidate for end. De Witt, Mills
and Jerrems are the best backs. Mills
and Jerrems are very good at punting.
The Tigers of Princeton are in fine
shape and the work of the team is pro-
crossing nicely.
Three candidates who stand a good
chance as guards are Riggs, Rhodes and
Wentz. Rigs experience last year
against such men as Bull of Pennsylvania
has fitted him to be a great player. His
movements are quick and often enable
him to secure the ball for the Varsity on
tumble. Rhodes played against Wheel
game thoroughly. but does not drive into
every play as he might. Wentz, new
man at Princeton, has played on the
Lawrenceville School eleven. He is
trihe slow, but will make an excellent
substitute.
Church at tackle has been doing star
work, playing with vim and dash
seldom seen so early in the season. He
and Captain Lea are especially we'll up
in liz reference. The other promising
men for tackle are Armstrong and flyer,
both powerful men. Cochran, Johnston
and hayward are all working hard at
end with Smith and Brokaw shifting
between that position and quarter. |
Both the latter are doing creditabie work |
in passing and following up the various
plays.
Rosengarten is making an excellent
showing at BALI being a fast runner
and follows his interference well. Ayres
and Fulton have also made good gains.
Both are strong men and good runners.
Pope, ex-'96, has returned to Princeton
and is nov irving for full-back here,
having played for the university of Vir-
ginia last year. Baird and Barnard are
also at work in this position, and the
indications are that Princeton. will be
stronger at tull-back than she was last
year.
There is little or no chance now that
Yale and Harvard will allow the differ
snoes of last year to be forgotten ana
come to an amicable understanding
about games this year. AS a result the
popular interest in the sport will surely

A POOR LOT
OF KICKERS
Yale : Harvard Troubles
Have Affected the
Football Season
FEW STAR PLAYERS VISIBLE
Harvard Has Hard Luck in Losing
Her Best Men "a. Yale's Team
Only Fair Is. Princeton's
Team Above Average

The Varsity football season is now in
full swing, but rather strangely none of
the colleges are boasting of particularly
strong teams. Many of the elevens are
still in embryotic shape, while those of
Yale, Harvard and Princeton will not be in
inc working order until the first of next
month.
The followers of Harvard in particular
have been afflicted with an unusual series
Of ups and downs. At the beginning of
the season it looked as If the Crimsons
would have the banner eleven OF Its his
tory, but as the weeks crept on, first one
good man dropped, then another AMI an
other until the team was only shadow
of what il was hoped it would be. How
aver, the team has reached the turning
point in its decline and for the past two
weeks has shown marked improvem emit
tight along. Whether il will reach true
Varsity form by the time the big games
begin is question. There is an abund-
ancs of fine raw material and the coaches
are working industriously to lick it into
some kind of shape.
Captain Arthur H. Brewer, familiarly
cale1 Frosty =" has never lost heart. and
to his interchangeable energy is due the re-
cent improvement Of the team. He is
one of the finest specimens OF athletic
manhood to be found in the country and
at right end can hold his own with any
man in the country.
In his preparatory days he made credit
able records in running. The latter

but changed her mind and took what is
known as the southern passagea; this
lasted nine months before she fairly
began her western voyage. This voyage
was accomplished in nine months more,
when we find her off the coast of Flor
ida. After spending the winter months
in this vicinity, she started for more
northerly ATTITUDES, arriving off Hatteras
in June, 1894. From this point she en-
deavored to cross the AtlantIuc once
more, seeking to do this by the southern
passage, but on arriving in latitude 80
degrees north she started for the north
ern passage. This change must have been
serious mistake for on October 81, 1894

she was seen for the last time. and there
can be small doubt that she has sought
and found her last resting place.
After she was abandoned it is known
that the Wolston was ahoat for three
years and six days. The distance which
she Travelled in that time can only be
coniectured-tha is, by locating the
places at which she was reported as hav-
ing been spoken, and connecting these
with straight lines, and measuring these
lines, which makes the enormous total
of 9l56 miles. This amount could be
dou Dled, even trebled, and yet be within
reasonable possibility. For whom the
reports have been within a few days of
each other, it Is seen that she constantly
doubled on her track, and il cannot be
supposed that she travelled from one DO
sition Co another by the nearest route.

the ball he is easily his equal.
Captain Brewer is II years old, weight
1853 pounds and is 5 feet 1l1a inches in
height. He is member of tue Institute
of 1910, the Alpha Delta Phi and other
clubs. HIS strength record, according
to the gymnasi UNI tests OF DR.. Sargent,
is sSs.5, making him the nineteenth
strongest man now in college.
With Cabo6 at left, the Crimsons have
another strong man. Unless Norton
Shaw gets into shane there may be a
weak spot at right guard. Shaw was
knocked out in The Summer during
practice game and is still hobbling about
on crutches. JaffIey, who has been play
ing in Shaw's old placs, is a hard worker

but has not proportionate sUrength-a

other back. Gonterman, who took up
sprinting last spring long enough to do
10 1-5 seconds in the 100 yards, is circling
the ends in pretty style.
There has been up to the present a
great scarcity of coaches. W. H. Lewis,
with Captain Brewer, has been the only
one in regular attendance. Billy Brook
is So Busy with his medical practice that
he does not expect to get out very often.
Jim Lee was on the field once or twice
during the week, and Bernie Trafford has
been bround for the rsuitations. The
force is certainly much weaker than 1T
was last season.
Yale is in fairly good shape and the fine
condition of the Blues has been largely
due to the excellent coaching of La uric
Bliss and ex-Captain Frank Hinkey.
Captain Thorne is levei-haaded man,
with goodly stock OF experience behind
him.
