Harvard Looks Strong.


Head Coach Haughton and MS as
sistants are thoroughly satisfied Win
the material Harvard has at hano anu
are reasonably decided upon the men
whom they will use in the big gains
with Yale at Cambridge, Nov. zO.
While no statistics have as yet oeen
given out, it is certain that the mar
ward varsity eleven of 1909 is going to
be above the average in weight Far
ticularly will this be true OF the pack
field. in which Corbett, P. d. Smlth anu
Minot may be regarded as the regular
members. with O'Flaherty at quarter
back position. Corbett and Snlth naVe
both earned their initials in football.
and Minot surely would have been a
varsity man a year ago had not schol-
arship deficiencies kept him from the
gridiron. So it will be a back HELD
that possesses experience as well as
weight.
Up to date the line men have been
drilled particularly in defensive play
ing. Captain Fish at tackle mas not
been playing az brilliantly as IN the
past, but no fear is felt regarding his
ability to hold his own against any OPP
ponent when the time comes
Harvard's greatest need today IS TOT
a real good kicker. The eleven is al
81
and Kennard, who have done the kick
ing for two years past. would be
welcome addition. The coaches nave
evidently decided thai Corbett must do
the kicking this fall. and while he does
It nicely and shows marked ability IN
placing the ball, he will never be IN
the same class with his predecessors
Opposing teams need not have any fear
that Harvard will drop any goals from
the field when the eleven is any great
distance from the goal posts The fact
that Wilmington at center has not yet
fully acquired confidence in passing
the ball back for kicks has undoubtedly
been a factor in making Harvard s
kicking seem som what weak
Whatever Harvard may be lacking in
kicking, the eleven will make up in
open plays and forward passes Har-
ward knows a whole lot more of the
new football, SO called. than the team
has shown thus far, and this new
football includes several forward lss
formations.

Michigan's Prospects.
Michigan's prospects for a winning
team has steadily frightened with the
last few weeks. The good work of
Captain Allerdice. Wasmund. Ben
brook, Watkins, Ranney, Loell, Riley
and Casey, eight M men trying for
the team, is causing Coach Hurry Up
Yost considerable satisfaction. His
chief delight. however, is in the work
of the new men, so-1e of whom are ex-
pected to give the older players a hard
battle for positions.
Yost is doing this season what he
has long wanted to do-playing fast.
Silly ulcu III the line. Inere are likelv
to be few giants on the Michigan team
this year. although Benbrook, Riley
and Conklin weigh 200 pounds each or
more. To accomplish his purpose Yost
is using former back field men at tao
kle and even guard, and, while the
team this year will probably average
pounds lighter than recent elevens IL
will make up in speed what it loses In
weight.
The surprise of the team up to date
has been the work of the new candi-
dates, Benbrook and Bertrand. Yost
has been working Benbrook, formerly
a guard on the team, at center since
the first day of practice, and, to the
surprise Of every one, the big Chi
cagoan has shown well at the new po-
sition. If he continues the pace there
will be merry fight for the pivotal
position between Benbrook and Loell,
who played center on the 1906 eleven,
when the faculty kept Schultz from
playing.
