FOOTBALL CANDIDATES.
Sixty Men Answered Capt. McBride's
Call-Butterxyorth for Head Coach.

| 1oNSH.
In response to the call Of Captain
Mcbride of the University football
| team for candidates for the eleven for
the coming fall, about sixty men hand
ed in their names and were present at
the meeting held in the trophy room
of the gymnasium last night. None OF
| the men who played in either the
| Princeton or Harvard games, with the
exception of Dudley responded to the
call, and when their names are added
to the list it will contain at least sew
enty-fve.
There are, of course, quite a number
who were unable to be present last
night, and it is safe to say that when
the active spring training begins there
will be about 100 men at work. Cap
tain Mcbride outlined no policy at the
meeting, but advised all men who in
tend trying for any of the line positions
especially candidates for CENTER guard
and tackle, to take their regular work
with the men that are training for the
shot put and hammer throw.
Regular and systematic spring work
will begin about two weeks after East
err The men in all probability will be
in charge of Burr Chamberlin, captain
Of last years team. Captain Mcbride
was asked last night concerning q
head coach for the team. He stated
that nothing official would be given out
until after the close of the present
school year.
1t can be stated, however, on high au
thority, that Frank Butterworth, who
had charge of the eleven in '97, has
been pra ctically decided upon as head
coach and that he will assume the duty
of training the men as soon as the time
fore arly fall training arrives. This
will be good and welcome news to
many who are of the opinion that But
terworth is exactly the right man in
the right place.
