EASTERN FOOT BALL TEAMS WILL BE ON
MORE EVEN TERMS THAN LAST YEAR

Folwell, full back. Ex-Capt. Torrey is field
coach. but Carl Williams and George
Brooke will be retained as advisers.
Princeton Well Fortified
Princeton is unusually well fortified with
good material. The Tigers lose Tooker
at one end, Rafferty, at guard, Carrothers
at center, Bard at half back and Brasher
at one end. Bard was the best of the men
lost. Princeton is fortunate in possessing
once more the best players the 1905
eleven. These are Cooney and Herring the
tackles; Capt. Dillon at guard, Tenney and
E. Dillon. the two star quarter backs;
Daub at half back and Mccormick at full
back. Not only has Princeton retained all
these veterans, but there are a number CT
very capable backfield substitutes who will
make things hum this fall. These include
Simons. who did splendid work at half
back in many of the games last fdil and
Rulon- Miller. who will probably be avail
able this year. The latter was kept off
The team last year through lllness, but
with his health regained and under the
new rules he should develop into a star Of
the first magnitude at half back or end
Cornell's Prospects
Cornell. whose team was pretty much a
disappointment year ago. will have bright
prospects this fall. The Ithacans have lost
only five of their veterans. These are
Roadhouse and Van Orman, the ends; ex-
Capt. Costello at tackle, Furman at guard
and Halliday at full-back. This leaves the
Ithacans with Capt. Cook at tackle. Thomp-
son at guard Newman at center, pollak a.
quarter back, Walders and Gibson at half
back. Cornell men should consider them
selves fortunate in having three sucn back
field men as Pollak, Walders and Gibson.
This trio played most of Cornell's game a
year ago, and in the final contest of the
year with Pennsylvania were resp )nsibie
for most of Cornelrs gains. Under the
new rules Cornell's fast backs should prove
more effective than ever.
Glenn Warner will once more have
charge of the coaching. Warner has been
laying the foundation of his own system at
Cornell. He has found it pretty harl work,
but the prospects for his complete success
this fall are very bright. Warner will be
assisted in the coaching by Luders, who
had charge of the freshmen a year ago.
Stage at University of Chicago.
The University of Chicago looks to Alonzo
A. Stage to bring the colors of the great
western university to the front in the foot
ball world To bring to the front does not
mean for one moment that the great teams
which the Maroons Of the past have put
upon the gridiron have not been at the head
of the column with the leaders of the sea-
son. Stage has been wonderfully successful
with men-with foot ball men. He is with
out doubt a marvel when a trainer of the
athletic side of man is considered.
Stage is conscientious. He works for
Chicago University all of the time. His
ideals are high, and this is one of the rea-
sons that Stage has been so successful in
bringing the team Of the college over
which William Rainey Harper presided so
long to the front in the foot bali world
The splendid teams which he has turned
out have raised an endearing monument in
the minds of all lovers of the game, and
across its sides are written in letters that
VIII not fade away, His ideals were high"
Stagg declares to his men that the educa-
tional points of the game are paramount,
and In all of his coaching he emphasizes
this strongly. He says that the moral in
huence OF the game over the men Is good
and good with them in after life as kind
of guiding star.
Last season Eckersall, declared to be one
of the best quarter backs of the country.

to bringing men to the front In the foot
ball world In the game with the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan the educational value of
the game, as far as the whetting of wits
is concerned, Stages claims were carried
out. In one case Eckersall saved Chicago
by his nerve. The Maroons had been forced
back until Eckersall stood within his own
Vineyard line, a third down and about to
kick against the wind. If he attempted to
run and Michigan stopped him the Wolver-
ines were perfectly sure to score If he
punted against the wind the chances were
very strong indeed that If the ball went out
into the field it would be heeled and Michi-
gan would kick place-kick goal If he
