the game with far more spirit that was
shown In the first contest and they
worked together In most pleasing style.
Webb seemed to have gotten into fght-
Ing trim. for he was In every play and
almost invariably rushed the ball when he
got IL In his possession. Savage has
found the place for which he is ftted I'm
full. and on Saturday showed that he
was a true ground gamer, making his
place hard 10 fll.
While Schwartz Is a good quarter and
a plucky fighter Rackle has him beaten
thus far this season. though lighter. He
IL faster and much surer. In the game
Saturday when he went in there seemed
to be far more spirit put into the work
than before and he made several long
runs.
All the team followed the ball at all
times. Pearsali showed that he LIS a half
back 10 be relied upon at all times.
Schwinn also demonstrated his right to
be the leader of the men. for he has grit
from the call OF the whistle to the call
of time.
Saturdays football games showed that
all the big teams are beginning to get
In shape. In other years some OF them
have made a better showing. but the i'm
provement In all since the first OF the
year has bean general, and some splendid
contests are promised for November.
In giancing over the sumna ries OF the
practice games so far played by Har-
ward. Yale. Pennsylvania and Princeton
the names OF 30 players who won their
varsity letters last fall in championship
games are noted There are six each AZ
Harvard. Yale and Princeton, while the
ouakers have IL men who played against
Harvard or Cornell last year.
Harvard has Montgomery, Meier and
Squires and the three backs the Yale
veterans OF Princeton or Harvard games
are Blsomer. Kinney. Roraback and
Hogan on the line. and Rockwell and
Shevlin behind 1t. the big end playing
fullback against Trinity.
Although Capt. Foulke OF Princeton
did not get into the Yale game last year
because OF an lith-hour injury. he had
made previous records on the Tigers
varsity team. And besides FouIkr this
fal Princeton has Cooney. Short Miller
Burke and King. this group being we'll
divided between the line and the back
Geld.
The ouakers, though. arc unusually
fortunate. Their game against Cornell
showed the possibilities OF some OF their
men. who. with the exception OF Smith.
played against the Ithacans, the big full
back playing against Harvard while he
was ineligible. The Quakers' list In:
Capt. Torrey. Drake. Butkiewicz. Pickar
ski. Taylor, zrlisen. zeisler. weede. Cor
son. Reynolds and Smith. Eight of these
are linemen~ and every position on tn.
line ie included.
This profusion OF old men on the hirh.
est rated teams so far this year cannot
but help the game. making the teams
stronger than In 1903 and giving the
coaches splendid opportunity to do
themselves Justice. And in addition. the
columbia team. which beat rennsy last
year and after tieins Yale O TO O i, tha
nrst half so tired out the Blue I'm the Sec
ond that the team never came beck :.
has eight veterans I'm lire this fall: Cant
Strangland. Brown. Talbot, Tborne
Metzsnthin. Duell, Buell. and Fisher. these
oeing equally divided between the line
and backs. ''
Tne rules this fall should help tn.
popularity of football.
