PRINCETON and
YALE LOOK GOOD
They Loose But Few Veterans
While New Men Appear
Fast

tagious confidence among Princeton
men this fall when they discuss their
football prospects. And they have
good reason for It, too. because w.
w. Roper at the end Of his first year
as director Of athletics. has SO sys-
tematized things that Princeton pos
sesses a new spirit. Within the last
decade there were SO many changes
in the coaching policy that it furnish
ed a ready excuse for those who
sought a reason for Princeton's al
most perennial losses. For this year
Roper will have for his guidance an
advisory committee of famous Tiger
football men of the past, representing
the best brains Princeton can muster.
Galaxy Of Stars.
These men were Walter Foulke,
Langdon Lea. Hector Cowan and
Knox Taylor, Roper being the fifth
member. All of these men were stars
in their days who have kept in SYM
pathetic touch with the developments
Of the modern game. However, they
are not to assume the active coach
ing. This will be done largely by a
group of recent graduates who
have played the new game. Roper
himself will, in all probability, do
much Of the active work, as he did
last year, but the duties of the grad
uate committee will be of an advisory
nature. They will map out the
Princeton policy and see to it that
It is pursued consistently.
There are other reasons for Prince
toms optimism. One is the fact that
the Tigers have the best schedule
they have had in years, at least the
best in its capacity to arouse the team
and attract the football public. This
is due to the scheduling Of games
with Harvard, Dartmouth and Yale on
successive Saturdays. The arrange
ment Of the Harvard game was a ten
strike for the new management. 1t
will be the first game since 1896 that
these two old rivals have met on the
gridiron. Not only does the arrange
ment Of this game help the prestige
of Princeton in football, but 1t will
90 greatly increase the Tigers re-
CENTS as to relieve them from finan-
cial worries.
Princeton Has Good Material.
Princeton is unusually we'll equip
ped with veteran material for this
fall. OF the team which lined up
dH6lQBL 1o1O 16ot ySoA VAAy S0ASS
members will be missing when the
candidates report. They are McGreg-
or and Sparks. who have graduated,
and Ballous who has left the univers-
ity. McGregor was q tackle. Sparks
q halfback and Ballou the quarter
back. Fortunately there are good
men for all these positions. either
from the scrub or freshman teams.
This leaves as a nucleus from last
years eleven Capt. Hart at %fullback,
Pendleton at one halfback. White and
Dunlap on the ends. Brown at one
tackle, Wilson and Mccormick at
guard and Bluenthal at center. Ma
turally 1t is too early to discuss new
candidates at this time, but there is
n man who deserves some atten-
ton. This is Baker. who played quar-
! terback on his freshman team. He
was to last years freshman team what
Pendleton o to the one before.
Therefore II Baker. who is clever and
unusually fast, makes good in the
manner that Pendleton did, there will
be no bemoaning the loss Of Ballou.
The wonderful Pendleton, II prop
erly protected, IL worth any two of
Princeton's other tackles. It Is true
that In the Yale game he was usually
smothered before he could get under
way, but It took two and sometimes
three Yale men to get him. There
fore. II Princeton has another man
who can relieve him Of some Of the,
burden Of advancing the ball the
TIGER backfeld will be m to be
feared.
Yale's Material.
While Yale technically loses more
men than Princeton, the Ellis are
making no complaints on the score Of
lost veterans. Graduation has remov-
ed from the Yale ranks Captain DAILY
at halfback, Fitzpatrick at n end,
Morris at center and Field at fullback.
That is n more than Princeton MISS
es and they are probably more ex-
