Capt. Garrett Cochran and Trainer Jack Mo-
Masters are hard at work developing new can
didates for Princeton's football team. The
champions. by their remarkable playing a year
ago, will DO carefully watched by ali enthusl-
asts this season, for their supporters believe
they still have material for another decisive
winner. Last years team, as football experts
acknowledge, was one of the most formidable
over put together. The victories over Harvard,
Yale. and other opponents were SO signal that
tho Jerseymon's superiority on the gridiron was
without question. But this fall tho students
will miss four great players, whose places 1t
will be a difficult matter to nll. They are Bro.

Brokaw, toward the close OF last season, was
considered a wonderful end. noxt in skill to tho
Princeton captain, Cochran, who was easily the
best end In the big universities. Church was
the best tackle on the field last year. and one OF
the finest that over played football. His hand

There are a number of good men who will be
