New Material At
 Yale Looks Good

Aefcham, Anderson and Church
 Loom up Strongly For
 1 Varsity Jobs
 They're separating the sheep from the goats at New Haven nowadays,
 and the stage has at last been attain
 ed where, from the horde of candi- dates, fifteen men stand out as the l survivors of the preseason campaign.
 The line up for the Wesleyan game, l which will be posted on "Wednesday,
 ter careful consideration by Johnny
 Field, Foster Sanford, Walter Camp,
 and Captain Howe, the theoretical | varsity eleven has been determined
 upon. There will doubtless be some changes later on, but they will be be-
 cause a player selected has failed to
 measure up to the standard he him. self set in the first three weeks or play. Those closely acquainted with
 Yale football conditions say that it is now possible to name eight of the elev-
 en men who will start against liar ward and Princeton, provided that in- 1 jury does not prevent.
 l The discovery over whom the coach l ing staff is rejoicing most is that of | ed his playing on the first-year elev- en last season predicted big things | for him this season, but it wasn't un- | til the past week that his ability has | been generally appreciated at New Haven.
 Ketcham is man who will be heard from this season. He has all the | requisites of an ideal centre. Heavy fast, and aggressive, he combines fast chargin ability with also a pair of shoulders which are as wicked as 8 steel battering ram. There isn't any suparf1uous flesh clinging to him in folds, such as mars the outline of many heavyweight candidate. He lis clean cut and every pound of av- oirdupois is accompanied with, an equal portion of nervous energy and fight ing ability. The three leaders in the 1 guards division are McDevitt, sPete Francis, and Childs. McDevitt, who plays on the right side of the line, played in both the Harvard and l Princeton games last fall- He is of a peculiar build and in street clothes would pass for a man thirty pounds | less weight than he actually carries. He weighs 175: pounds and is 5 feet 1-2 inches tall.s Hard muscled and big boned, he is fast on his feet and
 can go right down the field with the ends.
 Pomeroy Tucker Francis is his mate on the other side of the lines. Francis position in the Eli lineup within the past two years. Last year he start ed as a tackle, then shifted to cen tre, and ended the schedule as a back on the scrub eleven. Pete, as he is universally known, is one of the a varsity letter last fall. Childs, the track captain, played last year on the eleven, but has not been out yet this season. In considering the question of guards at New Haven, however, it must sbe said that these are the posi- tiops which are most in doubt, and where new names are likely to ap- pear before the end of the season. + When it comes to Yale tackles, there is little to be said. One of them is Scully, All American last season and the other is Charlie Paul, who ranked with the first six players in the east at his position. Scully is as good as
 he was last season, and Paul is in better shaps physically. Foster San ford said one day last year that Paul
 knew more football than any line player on the team. He was handi- capped because of injuries through the season.
 This year he looks harder, and has a finer all-around development. This | will make the third year that he has played his position so there seems to be a good chance that Yale will have | two tackles on the theoretical All | American eleven. Strong tackles con- l stitute an immense advantage for any team, and is one of the reasons why close students of form say that there l isn't chance in the world of the | Eli's finishing worse off than third in
 the footbalk ranking at the end of the season.
 Camp and Galleur are the men who have been playing the end positions | in the lineups so far, but it is pretty safe to say that it will be Bomeisler and GaHeur when the big games come along. Romeisler, if he can put up the same brand of football that he did I in the. early part Of last season, will be one of the sensations of gridiron | play this year He has the physique, ! the football knowledge, is afraid of nothing, and the only thing that can stop him will be the handicap of the | injury he received last season
 I The other two men who are battling | 1t out for a place are Walter Camp. Jr., and Gadeur
 | With regard to the latter two men, Camp knows the more about football and Galleur has the more strength and aggressiveness. Young Walter Camp | is as great a master of the science of handling the pigSkln as any man at New Haven. He has handled a foot | ball constantly since he was three I years old, and knows the possibilities | of kicking. He is a plucky player l and good defensive end. His trou- ble is with his physical equipment, for he hasn't got quite enough weight to carry his height and in eonse- quence he. suffers frequent injuries. He will doubtless get his varsity let ter this season, but most people think that Galfeur and Bomeisler will rank ahead of him as far as the varsity l lineup is concerned.
 The hopes of finding a sure line breaker in the backfield are centered on Holiday Philbin. He is one of the fastest men in an open field ever developed at New Haven. Heavily built and with all the grit that his brother Steve had, Philbin ought to be able to gain for Yale through any defense. He has just one fault, but | that was enough to shunt him last season. F'umbling! With all the l brilliancy of his playing, Holiday | Philbin is not sure of the ball, and | last season he was especially weak on l handling punts. In the work at New | Haven this fall young Philbin shows great improvement and the coaches are steadily drilling him to under stand the wiles and whims of foot ball when on high.
