this fall. In addition to Head Coach Owsley
and Capt. Shevlin. Walter Camp win once
Hinkey and McClung. two former stars.
viii lend their assistance. Although Yale
may not have as large squad Of new
men this year as formerly. college men
should not be misled into thinking that
Yale is to be weak. On the contrary the
Ellis ought to have as strong an eleven as
last year IL they are not visited by too
much Ill luck.
The University of Pennsylvania inaugu-
rated Its season on Friday at Franklin
Field under conditions that could not have
been more suspicious. Not only was there
an unusually large squad to report for the
first day. but most Of the men were Of
the big. raw-boned type that coaches love
to see. Although the Quakers lost the en-
tire left side and fuli-back from the unde-
feated 1904 team the new men give prom
ise of being atle to fill the places left va
cant I'm capital style. For Butkiewiczs
place at left tackle Bankhart, q star of
promising man. He is more than six feet
In height and weighs 200 pounds. Similarly
Horr ought to be satisfactory for Pie
karskfs place at left guard. Horr weighs
close to 240 pounds and Is built much on
the lines Of ex-capt. Hogan. the old Yale
star. He is extremely fast on his feet and
made great name for himself at Colgate
Academy. Torrey, last years center. Is
his lightness. AT right guard ziegler is a
certainty. while the veteran Lamson Is
equally sure Of right tackle. Right end
promises to result IN struggle between
Sinkler. last years end, and Greene. who
played right haIf-back last fall Greene
Is thought to be better end than Sink
Ter. because OF his greater weight and speed.
If Greene Is moved up to the line this will
leave Capt. Reynolds and Shebfe for half
backs, with Folwell. Longwen and Boeck-
aman the candidates for ful1-back. Steven
son. of course. will be PENIS quarterback
unless the unexpected happens.
Princeton started active work on Thurs
day with large squad of veterans. So far
none of the Tigers freshman stars have
reported. Unlike the other universities.
Princeton never calls out her first year
men until after the university opens. which
will be next week. 1t is understood how
ever, that the Princeton authorities have
not been asleep while their rivals have
been securing the country. and that they
will present some new men that will help
to win back the Tigers prestige. OF the
men who reported on Thursday the prin-
cipal veterans were Capt. Cooney, butcher.
Dillon and Tooker for the line Tenney,
King, Rulon- Miller and Mccormick for the
back fed. In addition to these men there
were many substitutes who promise to de-
velop well this year.
Princeton will be the first of the Big
Six to play a regularly played game. The
Tigers play Villa Nova on September %,
whereas the other universities do not be-
gin operations until the Saturday following.
The reason for Princetons early start Is
the early date on which it has to close
it's season, this being week earlier than
Harvard and Yale and nearly two weeks
earlier than Penn and Cornell.
Coach Morley started foot ball practice for
Columbia the first of the week, but the
prospects for the New Workers are far from
bright Indeed, it looks as though Column
bia will have one of its poorest teams this
year The veterans with which Morley Is
now working are Capt. Thorpe, Eccheverria,
Post, Fisher. Carter and Heinrich. With
hardly exception all the others are new
men and few of these are of much promise.
Columbia is badly handicapped by the fact
that it is largely a postgraduate school to
which few athletes are attracted.
