BIG TEAMS BEGUN WORK.
Beginning today the football season
may be said to be open. Princeton
and Harvard will go into active train
ing. Yale and Pennsylvania have al
ready done some practice work, while
Columbia and other teams have got
in considerable training. Columbia's
candidates have received six days
training at Brandfort, Ct, and the
work has enabled Sanford, the coach,
to get good idea of what may be ex-
pected. The result is a decision to try
and get more material, and Capt.
Thomas Simmons left the training
quarters today in search of new men.
In many respects the season of 1900
Is most favorable for the training of
first-class eleven in Princeton. This Is
the general opinion amongst those who
have a line on the men, although there
is no doubt that very great loss has
been sustained when 1900 graduated
and took away almost every man who
was among the forwards. At first it
was thought that only Capt Pell
would return; now Palmer and Sam
Craig will be among the line candi-
dates for another year, and on this ac-
count better aspect has been given
to Nassau's chances on the gridlron.
The places that are vacant are: Ar
thur Poe ut right end; Hildebrand at
right tackle; Capt. Bill Edwards, at
right guard. Booth at center, and Bert
Wheeler at fullback.
There are six candidates for center
among the men now In Princeton
Wright and Losey, "subs," on the
varsity of 1890; Montgomery, the 1SO-
pound end Of last season; Monroe,
freshman Brown 1904, who comes from
a Virginia academy, and Stratton, the
freshman center OF last autumn.
Brown Is expected to prove a strong
candidate. He weighs 210 pounds and
seems to have the swing of a foot ball
player. Both Wright and Losey are
proved men and either one could I'll
the center position after the valuable
training of last fall, under peter" Bal
liet when they were both used on the
varsity in match games. Wright Is
splendid fighter, and only needs n lit
tie more seasoning to mature into an
especially able prayer. Losey was un-
der Princeton coaching for three years
mt Lawrenccvillc academy and one
year at Princeton; he has the build for
n center and gave Booth n hard shove
for the place during the first weeks of
of the 1890 schedule. 1t Is certain that
the Tigers have the materials for n
center and by the time for the Yale
game Princeton ought to be fortified
mt this point Stratton put up n
smashing game against the Yale fresh
men at New Haven, and was great
help townrd smotherlng the Young
sons of ELI on that occasion. Monroe
is player who is about the size of
Eddie" Crowds, and possesses many
OF the elements of strength that the
famous Princeton guard did. Monroe
showed up well In some preliminary
work on university field last spring.
Ilorvard's football squad win begin
work today on the soldiers field and
already the football players are in
Cambridge for the customary practice
Eight gridirons have been laid on Sol |
dlers' field to give plenty of opportun- |
ity for the several practice teams. The
schedule OF games for the season is al |
most ready
