look like promising candidates for the

heavier now, and even when he is trained
down to rock bottom it looks as though he
would have considerably greater poundase
than that. He can stand it without los.
ing any of his speed.
He is a Chicago boy, and prepared for
college at Hill School, where he played
some remarkable football for a scholastic
team At Yale he might have made the
varsity team in his freshman year had it
not been for the rule prohibiting members
of the entering class playing on it. Hill
School, by the way, turned out Billy"
Warren, who played tackle in the Yale
Princeton game last year. He looks like
a promising candidate for the place this
season.
In 1911, as sophomore, Spalding
made the varsity and proved himself q
good, consistent ground gamer. He
showed ability then as a punter, but
Howe, who was captain and quarter
back, outclassed him in that department.
Just at present this same Howe is bend
ing his efforts to teach Spalding every
thing he knows about punting and drop
kicking. The possibilities that Walter
Camp, Jr., may not be available for some
Of the big games or may be so weakened
by his illness that he may play only for
short periods in a game makes it i'm
perative that another first class toe ar
tist be developed.
One fault operating against Spalding
last year which he seems to have over
come this season is kicking with q bent
knee. The captains leg when he boots
the ball now is as straight as q crowbar
and one gets the impression that 1t is
just about as fragile as that implement.
Arthur Howe says that none Of his
men is really a veteran, for none of them
has played two years of varsity football
as yet, but last years men who are back
seem to be SO well grounded in the
fundamentals that they are veterans to-
all intents and purposes. They may rot
have had very wide experience in fac
ing opponents with thousands of cheer
ing partisans in the bleachers, but it Isl
not likely that men like Spalding, Bomeis-
Ter. Camp, Cooney, Ketcham, Philbin,
Avery, Sheldon, Gallauer and Warrent
are going to suffer from stage fright.
Philbin is another man who will prob
stE be strong in the back field. He

last autumn, looks like man who will give
the others a fight for the place.
