two pounds, which should give him a de-

]. O. Rodgers at left tackle is probably
the surest ground gamer on the Yale
eleven. Rodgers played three years at An
dover. and last year captained the team at
that place. His PUSHES at the line have

man class to make the Varsity. and has
already made a name for himself in the
position of right tackle. He Is regarded as
phenomenal player, but it will take all of
his energy to keep back the bull rushes of
his opponent, Rodgers. He Is nineteen
years of age, is six feet one-half inch in

six pounds.
Lyman N. Bass, for two years Yale's end
is displaying the poorest form this year he
has ever shown. He has regularly been
caught mapping, and been shut in by the
opposing interference during the games Of
this year, allowing runners to make good
gains by him. He has taken somewhat of
a brace, however, and If he plays up to his
usual form there will be no fear for his
end OF the line. He is twenty years of
age, five feet ten and one-half inches in
height. and weighs one hundred and fifty

Princeton team. Garrett Cochran, jr. Coch-
