Team Are Very Bright.

1t is still too early to speak definitely
in respect to this falls football eleven.
yet II may be safely said that the pros
poets for a good team never seemed
brighter. The energy and enthusiasm OF
coaches, management. and students.
have been exerted this year as never be-
fore. There will be coaches from the
alumni on the field every day to aid the
regular coaching stan. so that the can
didates are spurred on all sides to put
forth their best work.
The training is already well underway
because, contrary TO the usual customs,
the men have had preliminary practice.
This was made possible by Charles s.
Weaver OF the class OF 1882, who put his
large estate. "Edernheim." just out OF
Brooklyn, Conn, at the disposal OF the
football management.

Weaver enabled the management TO get
