With a Nucleus Of Veterans the
Coaches Must euild Up Their
Teams with New Material-The
Most Prominent Warriors Of Last
Season Who Will Remain.

When the Yale, Princeton, Harvard,
Navy, Army. Pennsylvania and other
elevens turned out on their gridirons
there were many old stars missing,
but there are also a number OF
lights" that the football loving pub
lie knows of old
Among the stars that play again
this year are those two great gen.
erals, Dillon,' quarterback OF last
years Princeton eleven. and Tad
Jones, who played the same position
for Yale. O'Brien of Swathmore is
another star who should shine more
brilliantly this season than ever be-
fore. Mccormick, the Princeton
captain, and Wendell, the dashing
Harvard fullback, who by his own
brilliant games for the Crimson last
year, will be in the thick of the fight
again. Princeton contributes another
backfield star in Harlan, captain of
her baseball team for next year, and
the Navy still has the "old reliable"
Douglass to bolster her defenses and
lead her offense.
Folwell captain Of tho University
OF Pennsylvania this year, will have
10 play some wonderful football II he
is to live up to what the Red and
Blue coaches expect of him. May
hew, All-American halfback last year,
F! can be counted on to gain few
| yards more" for Brown this season,
| and Cornell, though by no means hav-
ing a brilliant backfeld, has one that
| is steady and reliable. Yale and the
| Army both have problems to solve In
making up their backfield quartet.
or centers there are few of last
years stars left. Singluff of the
Navy, should be better than he ever
was; Parker Harvards captain.
| should also show improved form II
the duties of his position do not hurt
his individual play, and Yale still has
the giant Hockenberger, and the
prominent guards this year will be
Burr, Harvard; Bigelow, Yale; Pullen,
Army; Zeigler. University of Pennsyl-
vania; THOMPSON, Cornell; Lubo, Car.
lisle Indians .Northcroft. Navy, and
Draper, University of Pennsylvania.
With the final games of last season
there disappeared from the football
arena some Of the most brilliant play
ers that have ever been seen on any
gridiron. Eckersall has played his
last game for Chicago. As a field
general, as punter and drop kick.
er and as tackler he has seldom
been equaled and never surpassed
not even by such stars as Johnny DE
Saulles, of Yale fame, or the Poes
of Princeton Veeder, the Yale half
back, who played LIST year played the
best backiield game In the coun
try, and used the forward pass better
than any other half, will no longer be
seen on the gridiron. Hill, captain ol
West Point last season, and Hollen
back. OF the University of Pennsyl
vania; Spencer and Ingram, of the
Navy; Knox, of Yale; Walders, OF
Cornell. and Norton. of the Navy, all
OF them star backfeld men, viii moi
be seen on the gridiron again.
"Forbes, of.Yale, who was almost gen
orally selected as an All-Amo.icar
end last year, will be badly missed
by the Blues this season. Such Q
player as Forbes was cannot be easil,
4 developed. "They don't make then
like him every year." said Coach
Rockwell. OF Yale.
| Osborne, OF Harvard; Christie, ol
the Army; Dillon, OF Princeton; Stan
nard. OF Princeton, and the might,
cooney Of Princeton. are others wht
won't be seen Gsain.
