Crane derived his experience in the game
nearly a score of years ago and since that
time has done very little active coaching.
1t is not believed that he can DO the HaT-
ward football men very much good. and
dire things are predicted on this account.
There was much disappointment al
7 Cambridge when BIZ Reid refused to re-
turn. Reid worked extremely hard for
three years to put Harvard football on a
firm basis, but he was antagonized to
SUCh'an extent that he encountered trou-
bic every way he turned Since there is
no evidence that Harvard men have re-
formed in this respect. Crane may have
his troubles.
The Harvard eleven is fairly well pro
vided with veterans from 1906. OF last
years team. all but four of the men are
back. The men lost are Pierce the left
tackle; Kersburg. left guard; Osborne.
right tackle and Foster. left halfback.
This leaves Starr and Mcdonald ends:
Burr. right guard; Parger, center: New
hall. quarterback: Appolonno, right half
back. and Wendell fullback The Grim
son will not suffer in the slightest for
lack Of veterans. But there is every rea-
son for the belief that Harvard will not
have many first-elass men from last
years freshman team. The uncertainty
that prevailed at Harvard all Of last wear
and the year before had a tendency to
drive promising scholastic players to 9TH
er universities where they knew the game
would be played. On this account the
Crimson coaches viii have TO depend more
upon their 1895 regulars and the substi-
tutes.
Warner Back to Carlisle.
No discussion of the big teams of the
east would be complete without some
reference to West Point. Annapolis and
the Carlisle Indians. Both of the academy
teams suffer about the same I'm the
number of veterans lost They have
equally heavy schedules. The Middies will
play Princeton and Harvard, while the
army lads will play Conner and Syracuse
before the big game on Franklin field.
This year the soldiers have cut out both
the Harvard and the Yale games because
they crippled the army players too much.
The Carlisle Indians will this year be
coached by Glenn Warner. who returns
after an absence Of four years at Cornell.
Warner has always been a most versatile
coach and as he viii have the very best
Of material with which TO work at the In
dian school he will make things lively
for the big teams he meets.
With but few exceptions the schedules
of the big teams are much smaller this
year than usual. The West Point sche;1-
ule has been cut to seven games; the Yale
and Harvard schedules to ten games
each. The Princeton dates. for some rea-
son or other. have not been made known
a this writing. being held up by the fac
ulty 1t is known, however, that the IL
ger schedule Will be much smaller than
usual.
There will be but two intersec;ionaI
games of Importance On Nov. 16 the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania plays Michigan at
Ann Arbor and on the same day the Car
Isle Indians meet Minnesota at Mime
apolis. These two games were played on
the corresponding date last year and the
games resulted in an overwhelming VIC
story for the east. This year both of the
western elevens will bend every energy
toward reversing the order Of things. Tie
big eastern games this year will DE tie
Yale-PrinCeton contest at New Haven on
Nov 16; the Yale-Harvard game on Nov
"a. at New Haven; the Princeton-Corneil
game on Oct 26 at Ithaca, and the Penn
Cornell game at Philadelphia on Thanks
giving day. Then will come the wind-up
10 the whole season with the Army Navy
game at Franklin field, Philadelphia on
Nov. %
