PRINCETON, y. j.. Aug 17.-Princeton
football adherents are unusually anxious
to begin the approaching college year, and
to know what the entering class will con-
tribute toward the makeup of the Tigers
football contingent Football is already
the absorbing topic here. The University
field has been put in fine condition for
the early season practice. and everything
is now ready for the preliminary.
AS the season closes a week earlier than
last year Captain Pell viii arrive here Sep
TENDER 10, and has announced that prac-
tice will begin on September II. The pros
poets of q strong team this fall are not en-
couraging, since all the old players who
composed the Tigers line last year have
graduated with the exception of Captain
Peu. at left tackle. The fact thai so
many good substitutes from last years
eleven are coming back is somewhat con
soling
The best candidates for the vacant posi-
ti0ns in the lines are Gresham Poe md H.
Little, left end; Mills, left guard; Monroe
and Wright, centre; Dana and Dewitt OF
LawrenceyiIle, right guard; Sheffield and
Gardner, right tackle; Roper and Kelley,
