Princeton certainly has a big kick coming.
or last years team Pell, left tackle; Mills,
left guard; Fischer, center; Poe, quarter
back: McCord, half back, and Shefheld, full
back, were all graduated last June. That
makes a big hole. The backs are fairly
rlddied and a big cash Is cut in the line.
However, the Tigers had a big grist Of extra
material last season. much Of which
ranked right up with the first eleven. In
fact, eighteen men were played against
Yale, and Of those these will return:
Davis, captain and left end; Dana, right
guard; Dewitt, right tackle; Henry, right
end: Freeman, quarterback; Foulke, s. Nc
Ciavs, Stevens and Pearson, halves, and
Short, substitute guard. Thu OF those six
vacancies there is experienced material for
three at the start. Freeman was regarded
very nearly Poe's equal at quarter last
year, and will probably get the place. Short
can take Mills guard position and anyone
or the halves can play McCord's place.
Meanwhile the Tigers have three things
for which they may be decidedly thankful.
First. they have secured Garry" Cochran,
the famous captain and end of the 81 eleven.
II, is said that no other Princeton captain
ever welded so powerful an influence over
his men, and great things are expected from
his coaching. Second, Princeton plays every
game at home, save one, hat with Annap-
oils at Annapolis. on October II. Such a
schedule is certainly advantageous. Tn I'd,

It is impossible to beat it into the heads
Of some folks that no team was ever or
ganized that could win all the games. And
that is all the home knocker wants. Every
player has his days when he can not do his
best, no matter how good his intentions, and
every team has the same experience. Omaha
has as honest and capable a lot OF ball
players as ever wore uniforms, ana II they
do not win the championship OF the West
ern league, Il will not be because they have
not tried. All who have attended the games
with any regularity during the season are
a unit in saying that this season has wit
messed the fastest base ball ever seen In
Omaha, considered as a whole. and that
the Omaha team has been in II all the time.
Four star pitchers and the admitted premier
Of catchers have done the battery work, with
a corps OF helders that have been again
and again pronounced the best in the league,
have guarded the city's name In what has
proven the hardest fought championship
schedule ever played in the west, From
the drop of the hat Omaha, Kansas City and
Denver have fought. earnestly, even bit
terly, for supremacy. Milwaukee, starting
at the very bottom, has fought it's way up,
displaeing st. Joseph from the first d.
vision, and is now making a strong bid for
first place at the finish. Hugh Duffy has
not only played a great game Of ball him
self, but has shown wonderful skill In
handling his team, and deserves to win the
pennant for the gallant fight he has made.
One Of the remarkable things about the race
is that on the last three games depends the
hnal standing Of the FIRST four teams. Mil
waukee finishes with Omaha and Denver
with Kansas City. and IL will be impos-
sible to tell the order Of the hrst four places
until the end OF this closing series. Such a
situation never before existed in base ball.

OF all the four big teams Yale's loss
is much the lightest. Only three old men
drop out. the two ends, and Olcott at guard.
Meanwhile there is now a weli-dehned rumor
that Dick" sheldon. the famous guard OF
three years ago, will return to school this
fall, and he would then play In Olcott's
place, thus settling Immediately that difa-
Guilty, Sheldon has not yet verified the
report. Even IL he does not, it should

to get "a satisfactory pair OF ends than a

OF the other conference colleges there is
not much to be said. Nothing phenomenal
is expected from Northwestern, Beloit or
Chicago this year, though the latter school
viii probably surpass its unfortunate show
ing OF. last season. Meanwhile Illinois, so
strong in 'O1. will again have a light team,
but a fast one. Iowa starts this year to
try and recover from its slump, but an
other season or so is necessary yet. The
loss of Clyde Williams at quarter was a
blow which demOraliEed the Hawkeyes early
in the season Of OF, and their succeeding
play did them very little good In the way

Coming west. attention turns first to the
two teams which So conclusively demon
strated themselves the strongest last fall.
Wisconsin and Michigan. II seems now that
each is to receive body blows on personnel,
with the Wolverines getting a little the
worst Of It.. Coach Yost will find himself
with the task OF replacing Shorts and
White at tackle. Wilson at guard, Snow at
end and Snow also at fullback, which posi-
ton he played on offense. Thus for those
four men he needs FIVE. From meager re-
ports yet received st seems that material
Of the promising sort is somewhat Of a
rarity. However, Yost is said TO be great
in an emergency.
At Wisconsin Phil King also has a nice
little job laid out. He needs a tackle
to take Curtis place. two backs to re-
place Larson and Cochems. and a quarter
back for Marshall. The last position will
give no trouble, however, as Fogg, who
started in that position in 'oi, but was
shut out early by injuries, is now in shape
again, aud as good at least as Marshall.
Larson was the terror among halfbacks
in the western gridiron world last fall,
and another as strong. reckless and UNI
~stoppable will not be found in a year. it
is safe 10 predict. Curtis. too. cannot be
replaced. He was for four ytars the
greatest tackle in the west, and no other
man as good will be grown in a single
season. Fear was felt about Fullback
Driver. but it is now said that his foot
will be healed in time.

DR.. J. L. NJ. Curry. special ambassador to
Spain, tells the following %aneodote. says
Harper's Magazine:
In the discharge Of his duties, in promot-
ing the cause Of education, he has been
frequently called upon to address the pupils
Of schools he had been visiting. On one
occasion he was at q rural schoo and the
usual address was expected at the close
OF the exercises. The children went
through a number Of calisthenie ex-
e%reises, which were, probably, some
what elaborate in honor of the dis
tinsuished visitor, and then came the doc
tors speech. Thinking that It was a favor
able occasion TO impress upon his youth
full auditors the Importance Of drill and
practice the doctor, after expressing the
pleasure that the exercises had given him,
told the children that they had done far
better than he could have done, and then
asked;
Can some one Of you tell me Why It Is
that I cannot do these calisthenie exercises
as well as you have done themg"
After an instant's pause a small hand
went up and. on receiving an encouraging
word from the doctor. the little boy stood
up and said:
Cause you are old and stIn in the
jints," which was not exactly the answer
either expected or desired.
