GAMES ON THE LOCAL FIELD

The Princeton football team is now IN
a high stage of development, and If the
good practice continues it is thought that
the tigers will again bring the champion
ship TO Old Nassau. Some of the prac-
tlce games on the varsity field during
the past week were the best ever seen
on the Princeton gridiron, and coachers
and trainers are elated with the fine
showing made against other college
elevens. Many alumni football stars have
returned TO Nassau to aid in getting out
the team and now every player is watched
and coached by some former star, who
at one time or another was the best man
on the college gridiron. The coach who
has attracted most attention and whose
efforts seem to meet with the greatest
success is Church of last years eleven,
who was considered by all to be the best
tackle in the country. Church has each
day played on the scrub eleven, where ne
could show, by example, what should be
done in that position. Holt received the
most of Church's attention, and by the
way the latter threw him around IT was
very evident that there was room Tor
Improvement. Holt has the build and
ability for the same fine tackle that
Church is, but does not understand the
position, for this is his first year out
side of a guard position. In nearly every
practice game the team, which viii rep
resent Nassau against Yale, has lined up
for at least a part of the game.
Few changes if any, will be made in
the lineup, which has thus far repre-
sented the Princeton team. Baird mas
become a fixture at quarter back. Vheei-
er at FULL, Lathrop at end and Holt at
tackle. The remainder of the eleven is
made up of the championship team OF
'96. Unlike most years which follow a
championship team at Princeton, the
present season witnesses each day mere
and fierce struggles between men who are
not fighting for their positions on the
team. but who are working with might
and main for the honor of Princeton.
Cochran wishes to be the first captain
at Princeton, who for two successive
years has won championship honors
there. Now that the men are in good
condition, the training will be regulated
and each player watched SO that when
Yale and Princeton meet at New Haven,
the tigers will be in the pink of condi-
ton. and, like the team of last year, have
that same clOck-llhS lilOllClCiSS oH0
team play which was so noticeable last
season.
The Dayton Field Club on Sunday won
a game from the Lafayette Juniors at
Newark ON the grounds at Van Buren
ard Lafayette streets. A large NUMBER

the gam was brought to an end by the
rain. The Daytons played a superior
game throughout and had the bail in
their possession throughout the greater
part of the contest; In less n ten
