was the freshman center last fall. Brides
and Erwin, who played guard for the team
in 1906, are eligible this year, but there
will be plenty OF competition ahead of
them. as Paige, veteran guard and tackle.
will be out for the position, as well as
Goebel, Andrus and Brown, of the fresh
man team of 1905. Andrus, who weighs
206 pounds and is one of the most active
men imaginable for his avoirdupois, bids
fair to beat everybody out for line place,
and it wouldn't be out of sorts to predict
that Goebel will make the eleven. Yale is
splendidly fitted for the line this year.
Forbes, who was one of the grandest
players of last season, has graduated and
will be coach this year, but Biglow is
left and will captain the team, and Big
low was one of the men who became star
under the new rules. Coy, of last years
freshman eleven. who is heralded as one
of the most promising players in the
United States, and who, IT is predicted, will
some day be Yale captain, may get the
tackle position across from BigIow
Good End Material
Alcott, last years end, will try for the
team again this year, and has every chance
to make 1t if he is In good condition
Burch, Overall. Pigott and Howard Jones
Will try for the other end, and they will
have company in Seth Logan, who was a
good freshman last year. Logan, by the
way, is one of the cleanest and most t.
curate handlers of the forward pass of any
man who has played under the new rules.
Tad" Jones and Dimes are almost sure
to be the quarterbacks, and the other backs
are likely to be Bomar Berger, Wylie,
Wheaton and Philbin. For that matter,
Coy can be used as a back II it is neces-
sary to place him there.
The personnel of the Yale team has been
gone into at some length for the reason
that 1t is composed of excellent material
and that 1t is likely to make sensational
record this year If one can predict any
thing on the form which has been shown
by the players who are with the university
AT Harvard there is good outlook for a
team. Three of the regulars of 1900 will be
out OF the university by graduation. one of
them being Kersburg, selected by many as
a guard for the all-American eleven Of 1906
He played a brilliant game for Harvard,
and more than once fairly carried the con-
test along by his individual effort
Some excellent second string material is
available Perhaps 1t is not SO snowy as
contend that their chances to get a team on
the field with more strength than that of
1905 are unquestioned. In fact, Harvard
learned lot by experience last year. 1t
took the Yale game to convince the GRIM
son that too much attention had been given
TO the old style of play and 1t is the gem
eraI belief that the coaches will surely open
the game this year and give Harvard more
running formations than was the case
under Reds tuition. Still the work that
was done by Reid last season was of the
highest type, for he instiled into the eleven
some idea of SYSTEM which had been omit
ted by previous coaches.
Good Man in Center.
Parker, the captain of the team. is q
man of experience. and will play at center
his usual position. Barney will be the
substitute center, and Barney has chad
experience, but not much with the new
