During the past week every one of the
big eastern universities got well under way
with their work. The evenness of their
start. too, was notable part of the week.
Harvard and Pennsylvania were blessed
with the largest squad at the end of the
nrst seven days, but the other institutions
were not far behind. The Harvard squad
numbered fifty on the first day and has

bers about eighty AS Coach Reid says
there are many others yet to- be heard from
the Crimson may be expected to have at
least 400 men at work in a few days. At
the University of Pennsylvania all prece-
dents have been broken by the number of
GOOD men to report for early practice

hing and other veterans. looks to be as
good as that Of 1904. But the Tigers never
uncover their best men until the freshman
squad has been culled out That has not
yet been done. but will be this week, and
then dozen or more Promising men may
be expected to pop up on every side.
Although the flrst week of work at Column
bia demonstrated that the New Workers
would not have very many stars with which
TO begin work. 1t brought out the fact that
the Blue and White would live up to its
reputation of turning out team of giants
Coach Reid of Harvard is rushing mat
ters. for he has already selected what looks
like the nucleus for the first eleven. Dur
ing the last two years the uncertainty
about the makeup Of the Harvard team
was one of the factors which contributed to
its weakness. The correction OF this evil
has been one of Reids reforms this year
he worked with the majority of his candi-
dates during the spring. and has made such
complete study of them that he probably
knows the strong and weak points of his
squad as well now as he will a month
hence. Accordingly he has started out to
get his team together and will give them
the advantage of working together from the
very start. Following out the hint which
Reid gave last week when he picked the
first eleven men for the training table 1t is
probable that Harvard will start the season
as follows: Blair. left end; Brill left tackle.
McF'addon, left guard: White, center:
Pierce. right guard; Sqaires. right tackle;
O.Brien. right end: Starr. quarter back:
Wendell, left half back; Foster, right half
back; Hurley. full back. II Harvard starts
the season with any changes from this line
up 1t will probably be with Hurley at one
half back and Hanley at full back.
This Hne-up neglects several veterans OF
the 1904 team and Indicates the reyolu-
tionary methods Reid will pursue to get to-
gether winning team. From tackle to
tackle this line would average about POI
pounds. The two ends. however. are light,
neither weighing more than f65 pounds AT
