WNHE whir of the pigskin will hold

The fact that no radical changes
have been made In the rules OF the
game has been of great assistance to
the coaches in whipping their teams
into something like first class condi-
tion early in the season. Heretofore
when Important changes were made In
to rules, as they have been nearly ev-
H1y year until the present since the
great upheaval In 1906, coaches have
had to devote n great portion of their
tine to explaining the changes to their
charges.

THREE VETERANS OF LAST SEASON WHO
EXPECT 10 SHINE IN EASTERN GAMES.
Bluenthai, center; Pendleton, a half
back. and Captain Hart, fullback.
There are also number of excellent
substitutes trying for the team, SO
that optimism reigns supreme in Tiger
town.
Sometimes team is handicapped by
too many veterans, because this con-
dition of things tends to make a team
overconfident and keeps down the list
of new candidates. This may or may
not prove to be the case at Princeton.
Prospects at Yale are rosy enough,
although the Ellis have lost more men
than Princeton. Captain Howe and
Fullback Kistler are the only veterans
In the back field, DAILY and Field
having graduated, the latter now act
ing as head coach. In the line Kilpat.
rick Is gone at one end and Morris is
missing at center. Scully and Paul
are back at tackle, and Childs should
make a capable guard.
Yale's greatest good fortune Is the
possession Of Howe as quarterback.
This is his third year on the Yale team.
He held down the position on Captain
Coy's well nigh perfect eleven in 1909,
and last year he was about all that
stood between the team and utter rout
Harvard has lost but few players,
the principal losses being Mckay, the
All American tackle; Wilmington, his
mate on the other side of the line;
O'Flaherty, quarterback. and Minot,
fullback. With the exception Of Nc
Kay these positions will be easily
filed Last year Harvard had a num-
Der OF high class backs-enough, in
fact, for two or three back fields. Pot
ter is likely to be first choice for quar-
Aerback, with Campbell and Wendell
completing the quartet
In the number of veterans lost Penn
sylvania suffers far worse than either
Princeton or Yale.
In some ways the Red and Blue is
more fortunate than appears from the
foregoing. This is due to the fact
that there is some unusually good ma
terial from the 1910 freshmen eleven,
which was the champion first team or
the east.
Pennsylvania real problem will be,
as heretofore the development of a
heavy Lac. This will be the more diff
ficult because, az rule, the Quakers
are not blessed with an abundance of
heavy men.
Cornell has brighter prospects than

tie large number OF men from last

Crowds Falling Short.
Judging from the present registra-
ton it is becoming more apparent ev-
cry day that the number to apply
for claims will fall far short of that
of three years ago and much below
the early estimate of the most con
servative. Three years ago the first
three days brought over 10000 regis
trations and this year in the same
time less than 1000 have registered.

proud Of the protection she has as
