For College Football Dur
ing the Coming Season.
Carlisle Has the Hardest Seized.
uIe Of Any Arranged.
Prospects at Yale Seem Better
Than Those at Harvard,

pectcd, VIII witness many new and in
teresting developments, as coaches and
players discover and appreciate more
OF the possibilities of the new style
| OF game. great deal of interest IS
| centcred in the Carlisle Indian football
| team this year, owing to the fact that
Glen Warner will again direct the des-
TIMES of the redskin aggregation.
| For the last three years he has had
charge of the Indians, and has un-
questionably. been of great service to
the squad. He will have as his as
sistants this season Bill Newman. who
| was centre on the Cornell eleven last
year. and the famous Indian quarter
back, Jimmy johnson. Johnson it will
be remembered, was picked as the ALL
American quarterback in 1903 by Wal
ter Camp.
He will be Warmers first assistant.
Newman will have charge of the sec
ond team. The Carlisle officials feel
| this year that they have trio Of es-
| pecially capable men. Practice is al
| redy under way at the school and it is
necessary that the preliminary stunts
| should begin at once, owing to the
| schedule
| Carlisle will have this year a harder
| schedule than any other college or uni
vcrsity in the country. With the start
! ing of the schedule Sept. II, the team
| will meet the best of the smaller COL

| Dexter Draper the well-known foot
ball player at Pennsylvania, will leave
Boston for Philadelphia today to be-
gin practice for the coming season.
Draper has been at Rochester, n. Y.
all summer and looks in great con-
dition. Speaking Of the football rules.
Draper said: There will be little or
no change from the rules of last sea-
son, and all l look for is still more
by the new rules.
\ Forward passes will probably be
developed into something more. and
other features introduced which are
at present Unforeseen. We have prac-
tically the same team this year as
last and have lost but two men, 50 the
squad will be composed mainly of
veterans. OF course, the men we have
lost, Levine, at end, and Lawrence.
our quarterback will be hard to re-
place, but we have men from the
Freshman team who are bound to
make big names for themselves on the
gridirOn.
Those who will return to college
will be Scarlet. end: Castor and La

guards; Wyer. center; Follwell and
Green, halfbacks, and Hollenbeck.
fullbacks."
j Apparently the greatest problem
which will confront DR.. TOrrey and the
other coaches will be replacing Law
renee; still there are several strong
candidates for the position. One whom
Draper particularly mentioned was
Reagan. the crack quarterback on lats
Iyear's Freshmen eleven. Special mem
ton was made about his drop kicking
land puntng, as he made record last
lyear in the game against the Cornell
| Freshmen, when he booted the pail
over the bar from the 52-yard line.
Other promising men who VIII try
for quarter and end are Paul Otis ana
miller, Freshmen ends, and Rock, the
: old tackle, who was ineligible last
wear. Also Stein. Ochs, the Compound
guard. and Lamberton, tackle on last
years scrub team.
Between Harvard and Yale this year
the Eli team has by far the best OUTLOOK
although Captain Parker is hopeful. we
are going to start our football WORK
early." saws Captain Parker, "and from
the very opening which has been deter
mined Sept. Is, we will get down to bus-
ness First, however, the practice will Do
light and probably will he held only in
the afternoon. Most Of the players Will
be back for the start. I expect so that
we can all get our hands into the work
at the same time The coaches will be IN
charge of the men from the moment inc
first punt is sent away Plenty of assist
ants will be on the gridiron also. ana
expect that Brown, Cults, Hall and Leary'
and perhaps others. will be in their loot
ball toys from the beginning"
When asked about the prospects OF the
team this season, Captain Parker said'
"Of course. this is no time to make any
forecast. We have not lost many men oy
graduation, and there is some good ne"
material coming from last years eleven
but it is impossible to say how the ne"
men will work in with the older.
| Head Coach Billy Knox, speaking VI
Yale, says: "Our main task will De 10
get first-class backs this season. You see'
all of our backfield was graduated ias'
year and 1t is no easy task to PICK "p
three men in short notice to make rec
ords behind the line. Yes, it Is true that
the scheme Of playing Brides behind tne
lines has been discussed because OF the
scarcity of backfield material and the fac'
that he played guard In the big games
last year. although weighing only ~
pounds"
Indications now are that when the hrs'
of the Yale football candidates report
Sept. II the Varsity will line up for s's-
nal practice as follows:
Ends, Logan and Alcott: tackles, Gap,
tain Biglow and Paige: guards, Goeoe'
and Andrus; centre, Cooney: quarterbaek.
Tad Jones; halfbacks, Wheaton anu
