This is "Hobey" Baker. Gaze long
and intently on the future captain
Of the Princeton Tigers and the hero
of at least two big games of the 1872
season. "Hobey'' won the Dartmouth
game for Princeton with a sensational
eighty-yard dash. His toe made Yale
tremble and almost brought a we'll
earned victory to the Princeton BAN
ners. They are calling him the great
est halfback of the season 1t seems
certain that he will be picked for the
All-American team by Walter Camp
this fall.
Princeton claims that Baker is the
best offensive back in the country.
He did not get the opportunity to reel
off one of his sensational sprints
against the Blue, because Yale play
ers watched him too closely and he
was always blocked off by the Yale
defenders, but on the defensive Baker
did as much as any Tiger to break
up the Yale plays and hold the bull
dog in leash.
Besides being a great football
player, Baker scintillates for the
Orange and Black at hockey, base
ball, basketball, wrestling and swim
ming. He is % years old and the sue
cessor of Sam White in Princeton's
1912 highest niche of fame.

BY SURE SHOT

The National Turner's ought to
have their troubles in beating the Gel
luloids at Turn Hall tonight. The
form the Bruce streeters have shown
this season, however, makes them a
favorite. The Cells" are a classy
quintet, but it is not likely that they
can wrest victory from a team of tho
Turner's calibre-at least on the lat
ter's own court.

Glenn Warner through his connec-
ton with Cornell and Carlisle and
the Indians success since he became
their football instructor has been
such as to rank him among the best
known football teachers in the coun-
try. It remained for Warmers in
genuity and understanding of the
characteristics Of the men under him
10 devise a means of spanking his
team into shape which is quite
novel and recommends itself to other
football "profs' laboring under the
same difficulties.
The Indians are a strong combina-
tion on the aggressive, but somehow
fail to stand together properly on
the defense. Warner has striven in
vain to overcome this weakness I'M
til yesterday he hit upon the proper
solution. He ~resorted to the old In
dian game of running the gauntlet
and gave orders that every man who
Jagged on the defensive or failed to
catch a signal should be compelled to
bear the cuffs and kicks of his fell
low teammates.
Wallette was the first to offend,
and the result was so edifying that
not another aborigine had a lapse in
his mental machinery until just as
shades of night were descending
Bergie started to loaf, probably
dreaming of rolling plains, happy
bunting grounds and other pleasant
pictures which might arise out of the
clouds of the forbidden "kinnikin-
mix" After he received a c~astigation
no one else offended. Running the
gauntlet is henceforth a popular In
stitution at Carlisle.
