Club Lectures-Other Items. The following interesting article on Football Prospects, appeared in the Yale News yesterday:
 | Now that the years football season is over it is interesting to lcok at the prospects for next year.
 At Harvard, Cochrane '99, left end; | Donald '99, left tackle; P. M. Jaffray '99, center; P. D. H1ughton 99, right | tackle; B. H. Dibblee 's9, captain and left half back; L. Warren '99, right half back, and J. w. Farley '99, substitute l left end. and r. Mills 99, substitute tackle, all graduate. This leaves four places in the line and two banind the 1 line to be filed At tackle, Eaton, who was substituted for Donald in the Yale game, gives promise of being an ex- ceptional tackle and should be heard 1 from next year. At present there Is no one in college who can fill the other tackle position and some man from the scrub or the freshman team will have to be developed. Behind the line the positions should be we'll filled by this years substitutes. Kendall will surely have one of the half back positions and | should he improve on his form of this year, will be ranked among the best line l buckers. The other position of half back will lie between w. s. Gisrasch and Lawrence of this years freshman team. At center Burnett, who took Jaffrays place, Is equally as good a man and Jaffrays loss should not be felt The end position lies between Lawrence and Lewis, who were substi- tutes on this years team. Although Harvard loses six regular players and two first substitutes of this years team nevertheless with the possible excep- ton of Dibblee the loss will no: be greatly felt as there Is an abundance cf good material still left in college.
 Princeton loses this spring, by grad uation, E. G. Crowdis '99, left guard :; Marshall Geer '99, left tackle; w. H. Back 99, half back; D. F. Tilson, P. G., substitute guard J. l.. Crane 99, sub stitute end and F. w. Fenstermacher, P. G., substitute half back. At guard, Princeton has very able player in Mills, who as freshman was substi- tute on the eleven this year. The loss of Geer at tackle will not be serious as Pell another freshman, Is very good tackle and should show q great deal of improvement over his form of this year. Black will not be seriously miss ed as there are q number of fast backs still in college, among them being Ayres, Kafer Beardsley, Lathrope and Wheeler.
 The whole line then will remain in- tact with the exception of Geer and Crowds. and the only loss to the back field will be Black, for whose position better man can easily be developed. Princeton, therfore, is the lightest loser of the three colleges and from the ma terial at hand should develop an ex- ceedingly strong team.
 Yale loses five of this years team G. B. Cutten '99, T. S., Ccnter E.. E. Marshall '99 S., right guard; c. A. de- q Saulles '99 S., quarterback; A. H. Durston '99 S., left half back. and E. M. Eddy '99 S., end. The men remain- ing are Brown, Stillman, Hubbell, Dud- ley, Mcbride, Ely and probably Cham berlin All of this years first substi- tutes will be in college except McCon- nell '99 S., substitute center; Corwin 99 S., half back; Marvin go, substitute half back.
 This leaves Yale without any promis- ing material for the vacant guard and tackle positions, but behind the line there is an abundance of good material to choose from.
