ably the highest salaried foot ball coach IN
the country. Reid last year received ts.s0o
from the Harvard Athletic association for
bis two months coaching and then, Il was
admitted, he received 1850 from other
sources. so that his salary was 5000 a
year. almost as much as President Eliot
himself received The only other coach
who ever received this amount was Foster
Sanford. the old Yale player. when he was
coach at Columbia Now. with the exeep-
ton OF Reid. the highest salary usually
paid to a foot ball coach is $780, This Is
the amount which Coach Yost receives
from Michigan II Is also the amount
that Coach Williams of Minnesota and
Coach stagg Of Chicago are thought to
receive.
There will be another race across the
ocean IN 1908. The German emperor is to
offer another trophy. Since the race last
year. which was such success he has
been talking of another contest and has
thought of arranging for race for next
year. but yatchsn1en who have been APP
preached to see II they were ready for
another race have discouraged the idea of
having IL so soon, and now Il is said 1908
has been selected as the time for the next
ocean race that plans have been made by
yachtsmen TO have large schooners built.
and the one Tor Edward r. Coleman, who
raced last year in the Hildegarde, Is said
to have been planned with another ocean
race In view. This yacht is to be 100 feet
long and Is to be rugged as a three-masted
schooner. Other yachtsmen are planning
| to build ocean racers, II another trophy Is
offered for a race across the Atlantic and
| II the announcement Is made In time II IL
expected that there will be even more
memorable than the race last year. The
German emperor is doing all in his power
to stimulate interest in yachting.

| Nearly every big university in the east
has announced its plans for the coming
foot ball season. These plans include the
beginning Of preliminary practice which
will be more thorough than ever before.
In summing up the, outlook of the big
teams of the east 1t may be said that they
are on more even terms at the start than
they were year ago. All 1--WE have lost
several veterans. but the losses are almost
equally severe in each case. Another thing
that helps to eoualize the situation is the
rule adopted unanimously by the big
Five" prohibiting the competition OF fresh

served one year probation. On this account
the entering classes at these Ave UNIVERSE
| ties cannot be utilized for foot ball or any
other teams. They will be obliged to play
with their respective classes. Each team
must rely upon the same squad Il had last
| year, unless some new men then in school
can be found and utilized As each of
these teams has lost four or more of the
1905 veterans, II Is quite likely that the
standard Of play will suffer a little this
year. as their places must be taken by last
years substitutes.

OF all the big teams Yale is probably the
heaviest loser. not because the Ellis have
lost more men, but because of the char
acter Of the players themselves. All told,
Yale is minus seven OF it's regular veterans.
These include shevlin and Gates, the two
ends; Trip, the All-American guard; Elan
ders, the center rush; Hutchinson, quite
generally picked as the best quarterback in
the east. and Finn and Quill the two men
who alternated at fuliback. These men are
left for the 1906 nucleusi Forbes and Blge-

Harvard has by no means escaped severe
losses. 1t should be noted. however that
the majority of Harvard's losses are on
account of the new eligibility rules rather
than the graduation OF players. All told,
Harvard must start the season minus five
and possibly six of its best players. These
are Knowlton and Leary, the two ends;
squires, tackle; Kersburg, a guard, and ex-
Captain Hurley. halfback. The sixth loss
will be Brill, unless he reconslders his de-
termination to quit the game because of
It's brutality. This will leave Harvard with
the following men; Burr, at guard;
Parker. at center; Starr. at quarterback;
Foster. at halfback. and Lockwood, at full
back In addition to these men Harvard
will have big substitute list from which
to draw. The team will be COACHED once
more by w. T. Reid, jr. Although Reid
has not been successful during the last two
years. the fault lay not 80 much with his
coaching as the inability of the players to

The University Of Pennsylvania will
start the season with an unusually bright
outlook. The losses the Quakers sustain
are more in quality than quantity. Five
OF the veterans who made Up the 1905 COM
bination will be missed this fall. They
include ex-Captain Torrey at center and
Lamson at tackle. both iail-eastern selee-
tons; Quarterback Stevenson, the most

two men who could not play last year.

mid-season, and ziegler. the guard. who
