be an opinion among football authori-

weak i'm the back field, and it is to
the backs hat special attention will be
laid.

years freshmen team and looked upon

old friends, who %journeyed out to
Franklin Field to see him.

the Penn team. reaching this city early
yesterday morning. Mercer has taken
on considerable weight during the sum-
mer, and is in the best of health. He

eral boys camps in New England, and

which has put him in excellent shape
for the coming season.

before returning to New Haven. Cap
tain Under, of Williams, has ten pre-
Vious players available, but it is believed
that h rule of the faculty that no
