which is simple and practical.
Another secret of the early or mid

BAKER NEW
CAPTAIN OF
1913 TIGERS
Clever AlI-Around Athlete Will
Lead Princetonians on
Gridiron.

PRINCETON, n. j.. Dec. 12.-Ho-
bart A. H. Baker. Of Manayunk,.
Pa. was yesterday elected by
the Princeton football team to the
captaincy of the Tiger eleven for 1913,
as was predicted in the Evening Star
weeks ago.
"HobeyS' as he is known through
out football circles, is already captain
of this years hockey team, and is con-
ceded to be one of the fastest anna
teurs on the ice. IT is his speed which
has won for him the greater distinc-
ton of being football captain. His
work at halfback for. the Tigers this
year was of the highest order and
gave him berth on several of the
An-American teams chosen by diff
ferent authorities. Parke H. Davis
singled him out as the most reliable
handler of punts seen on the Ameri-
can gridiron since the days of Phil
King. and everybody agrees that his
open field lodging is equal to that
of anybody playing the game.
Baker entered Princeton from st.
Paups School, Concord, N. H., where
he had starred as an all-round ath-
lete. and in his freshman year was
on his class teams in both baseball
and football. He has since then given
up baseball in preference to hockey
and football.
"Hobey' had an enviable family
record to live up to when he came
here, for his father. Alfred T. Baker,
was famous halfback on the Tiger
team of 1884, when he. was noted for
his speed and his kicking ability. The
speed Of the father cropped out in
the son, greatly increased in most
respects, and Hobart is today a more
distinguished man in college than his
father ever was, being capain of the
only teams for which he has tried.
