and Scarlet, the all-American end This
leaves of the 1908 first string only four
men. They are Marks at center. Lam
berton at one guard. Pike at the other
and Braddock at end. At first sight this
looks like hopeless situation. But II so
happens that last year the Quakers had
second team which was almost as good
as the first. Crooks is expected to take
Scarletts place at one end in a satisfac-
tory manner. In the backfield Capt
Miller. whose brilliant playing was the
feature of the Cornell game last fall after
keinath was hurt, is expected TO star in
this position.
The coaches also expect to make some
thing of Ramsdel. the sprnter, who
showed wonderful promise on the scrub
team at fullback last fall. There is also
some likelihood that the coaches will try
out Cozzens at center and if he makes
good put Marks. the last years center,
at half or full back This would leave
only two positions to be filled. and the
1908 substitutes and freshmen should fur
nish enough men for them.
New men are in charge of the Quaker
coaching machine. A. l.. Smith, the ia
nous fullback of the 1904 team, is field
coach, while Dr. Al Muford is chairman
of the board of advisory coaches While
DIR. Carl Williams, the organizer of the
present coaching system is not officially
connected with the coaching staff, there
seems to be no doubt that he will re-
Tigers Test New Coaches.
Up at Princeton they think they have
solved the cause of their recent defeats
by securing a brand-new coaching staff
with new ideas and harmony as the key
note. The new regime is the result of the
dissatisfaction that existed with the
coaching of w. H. Roper Those who
We're best situated to observe seemed to

done with the Tiger material. But the
fact remained that Princeton continued
to lose with great regularity to Yale, by
which game Princeton men measure the
success or failure of their season. After
series of conferences following the 1903
season the Tigers secured an advisory
board of coaches, consisting of Phil King.
Howard Henry and Walter Booth. All Of
these men were of ali-American caliber
in their day, and, with the exception OF
Henry, have been very successful in
coaching, King at Wisconsin and Booth
at Nebraska, In addition to assisting at
Princeton. In addition Mccormick, cap
tain of two years ago. has been made
head field coach. He will have the as
sistance of Thomas Butkiewicz and H H.
Short In the line. while NJ. B. Sheffield
and Johnny Poe will have charge of the
scrubs. This is undoubtedly one of the
best coaching STATS that Princeton ever
had. and if the material that presents
itself is as good the Tigers may sprlng
a few surprises.
The Tigers principal weakness will be
the loss of Dillon at quarterback, though
Dillon was not at his best last year on
account of injuries. In regard to the
other veterans lost and retained the
Tigers do not know themselves how they
stand. Several of the men upon whom
they are counting are said to have diff

know their fate until the college year
formally opens. At any rate there is an

Cornell's Hard Task.
Cornell has about the hardest problem
within the big Six" The Ithacans have
lost seven OF their 1908 veterans and will
have to recruit their team largely from
the ranks of the substitutes and the 1908
freshman team. The veterans lost in

and Macarthur, ends: Capt. Tydeman,

the substitutes Cornell hopes for much
from Wood. the quarterback, and Pope.
the fullback; while from the 1908 fresh
man squad Weeks and Donnan at tackle.
Baker. quarterback. and Gass. fullback,
are promising.
Cornell has an unusually hard schedule
this fall, playing Harvard Chicago and
Pennsylvania within three weeks. The
Harvard game is the new one on the
schedule and the Ithacans will undoubted-
~ make the fight of their lives against
the Crimson.
Prospects at Dartmouth.
Up at Dartmouth there is plenty to DO
with games against Harvard and Prince
ton. The Hanover men have been coming
TO the front with a rush of late years
and have humbled Harvard and Princeton
lust enough to make themselves feared.
This year Dartmouth is well fortified to
continue her excellent showing.
Dartmouth still has these veterans:
cant Tobin. the all-American guard;
Sherwin, tackle: Bankart and Ryan; ENDS:
Pishon. quarterback: Marks, fullback. and
Ingersoll, halfback. This gives the wear
ers of the Green a nucleus that could not
be bettered. In addition Dartmouth will
receive some good men from the 1905
