more for right guard. For Piekarskfs old
position there are two men In sight, Horr
or Colgate Academy, who has definitely de-
cided to enter Penn. and an Exeter Acad-
envy youngster whose name has not been
announced. With all of this material PENIS
line should be much stronger than IL was
last year.
Conditions in the back field could not be

sensational work was the cause of the de-
feats of Columbia and Harvard last fall.

tain Reynolds will once more play at left
halfback. and Greene at right halfback.
For fulfback Folwell. who substituted for
Smith last fall, will be the man. and he Is
sure to fill the position exceptionally well.
This will leave Corson and Johnson for
substitute quarterbacks. Sheble and w.
Hollenback for halfbacks and Longwell
for fullback
With all of this material and such men
as Mike Murphy. Henry Dickson. DR.. Carl
Williams. George Brooke. A. l.. Smith and
former stars to do the coaching, there is
no reason why Penn should not hold her
own as in former years.
Cornell, quite as much as Penn. Is re-
joicing over splendid prospects. For the
first time in a number of years things do
look exceptionally bright for the Ithacans.
This will be the second year OF Warmers
regime at Cornell. and he. in common with
the men who are responsible for him as
coach, are praying for success. Last year
rosy reports were sent out from Cornell
as to what the Ithacans would do to CO.
lumbia, Princeton and Penn, their greatest
rivals. Unfortunately all these anticipated
victories turned into defeats. But 1t would
be the height of folly for any one to rate
Cornell lightly this year. One season is
not enough In which to develop cham
pionship, or even first class, eleven. 1t

the 1904 victors and the critics should
be liberal with Warner. He showed what
he could accomplish with the Carlisle In
dams. and he is sure to have success with
the 1thacanS.

The thing that helps Cornells prospects
more than anything else is the fact that
only four men are lost from the 1904
squad. These are ex-Captain LYMAN, Dewey.
Smith and Hackstaff. This loss, however.
may not be quite so severe, for there Is
talk Of Lyman returning. But If all four
men are permanently lost Cornell is sure
to be much stronger than last year be-
cause Of the greater experience her men
will have had and the addition of several
preparatory school stars. Never before has
Cornell Jared so we'll in this particular.
Among the new recruits thus secured are
Thompson, the Andover guard, who was re-
ported to have been find for both Har-
ward and Yale, no one dreaming that Cor
rell would get him. 1t is also announced
.Aat Schmildmiller, a star end rush of the
same team. has picked out Cornell for his
alma mater. Another promising man is
Kirkerger, 220-pound center rush from
MercerSburg Academy, as well as Lubey,
the crack quarterback from the same team
OF Cornell's 1904 squad she still retains
Van Orman and Forgy, the two ends; Cook
and Costello, tackles; Furman. Downs. Oder

Newhall. Booth and Halstead, quarter
backs; Rice Gibson and Davis, half backs;
Halliday and Cox. full-backs.
The veteran coach. Warner, is very. en-
thuSaStic over the situation, and well he
may be. For years Cornell has been en-
deavoring to get out of the rut of gridiron
defeats which seemed to be fated for her.
Now she has three intercollegiate teams to
inspire her. These are the crews the track
and cross-country teams. The base ball
team also came very near to winning
championship Now Coach Warner has the
laudable ambition to make his foot ball
team take rank Withdrawals other ath-
letic teams. and he has better prospects for
It this year than ever before.
One OF the most interesting bits of col
lege athletic news during the week was the
announcement that Charles Parsons of Los
Angeles. Cal, would enter the University
Of Wisconsin this fall. Parsons promises to
be the crack Splinter Of the year. He es-
tablished his right to fame when he won
the A. A. U. championship 100 yards at
Portland, Ore, in the fast time of 9 As Sec
onds, defea ting such men as Hahn, the for
mer Michigan star. and Blair of Chicago.
Parsons is not only very fast at the 100
yards. but he can travel 220 and 40 yards
at a very lively gait He is nearly six feet
In height, weighing about 100 pounds Re-
port has it that he will try for foot ball
honors at Wisconsin, but it is highly inn
probable that A. c. Kraenzlein, the track
coach, will risk such valuable man on the
foot ball team.
The strength of Wisconsin in all branches
of athletics just now is worth noting The
Badgers first tried the graduate coaching
system two years ago, but it was dis
aStrous that the professional coaching Sys-
tenn was revived, and it promises to place
the cardinal once more in the front of the
western schools. Phil King has an especial
ly brilliant prospect for foot ball. and with
kraenZlein In charge of the track men this
sport is sure to boom.
The University of Michigan promises to
have a plethora of weight champions next
year. Word has come from the Ann Arbor
institution that Ralph Rose, the former
Shot-put champion, who was suspended last
winter. and w. w. Coe, who wrested the
world honors from him at the Portland
games, would both enter Michigan this fall.
Rose says he has patched up his differ
ences with the Michigan faculty, and has
secured consent TO resume HIS STUDIES lneTe.
Rose has been student at Harvard, Yale
and Oxford, England. His decision to en-
ter Michigan was surprise to his friends,
but Is probably due to his being trained by
Keene Fitzpatrick, the Michigan track
coach

The re-engagement of Patrick Dempsey as
coach of the Georgetown crews and of Dick
Glendon coach of the Annapolis oarsmen
has disposed of two persistent rumors. The
first was that Glendon had been determined
upon as the successor of Jasper Goodwin at
Columbia. The second was that Dempsey
was being sought after by the Columbians.
The success of Glendon at Annapolis was
his first with college oarsmen. In one year
he developed rowing at Annapolis SO that
the middies went through the season with
out defeat. They won first from George
town, then from Pennsylvania, from Yale
and finally from Columbia. Notice was at
tracted to Dempsey by the splendid showing
which Georgetown made at the Poughkeep-
sic regatta, almost beating out Syracuse
IL.
