Bright and so Are Those of tho Quakers.
The intercollegiate football season has
been formally launched. Tho candidates
for the elevens representing Harvard. Yale.
Princeton and the University OF Pennsyl-
vania are all in the field. but OF course no
really hard practice has been INDUCED In as
yet The big teams. barring Yale. have not
been seriously weakened By the graduation OF
star players.
The Princeton team will probably GO up on
the erdiron this fall with practically tho same
men who defeated Yale on Brokaw Field last
November By q score OF 9 TO o. In the rush
line. big Crowds will be missed. while Barnard.
who played half back. must be replaced. Capt.
Edwards has q splendid array OF talent to pick
from. including many promising youngsters
from preparatory schools. Mills. who was
substitute last year. has already been slated to
Ill Crowdis's place. He is q much faster man
than Crowds. but OF course cannot begin to
have tho weight. The neet-footeh ends. Poe
and Palmer. who were at the top OF the list last
year. will hardly DO ousted from their old
places. while former Capt. Hillebrand. who 10

Edwardsi 10 sure to play right guard and Booth
centre. Both are veterans. and last year were
rated high in the comparisons. Hutchinson
and Duncan. tho quarter backs. will have an
other tusslc for supremacy. 1t was about an
even thing between them last year. each hav-
ing an equal number OF supporters among tho
coaches. Wheeler. the noted full back. has
returned and nobody expects to see any other
player displace him. He is a fine runter and

take two exceptionally fast half backs to
dlsplace them. Alex. MofTatt was the head
coach last year. but 1t has not been definitely
determined whether no will act again this fall
or not. King" Kelly and "Biffy" Lea are do
ing the coaching now and both are fully com

the physical condition OF the players.
The Harvard team loses several OF its best
men. but there are many candidates who were
able substitutes last year. Capt. Dbblee. who
was far and away the finest half back in the
colleges. has graduated and is now head coach.

task to find any body who can play football as

Percy Haughton and Malcolm Donald. Haugh-
