TIGERS FORGET PAST;
LOOK TOWARD FUTURE
Hobey Baker and Phillips Only
Men Lost to Princeton
Football Eleven.
A WEALTH OF MATERIAL
While Absence of Two Stars
Will Be Felt, Prospects
for Winning Team
Are Excellent.

Princeton men are trying hard 10 forget
the disappointments Of the football sea-
son. which closed in so unsatisfactory a
manner with the tie score at New Haven
last Saturday. by looking to the future
for consolation. And they have every
reason for looking to next year with high
hopes OF better things, for there VIII ne
no lack OF first class material for nearly
every position on the team, provided the
men can be made to keep up 10 the re-
quired standard I'm their studies for the
rest of this college year.
Although the past season ought not "a
he looked upon as a total failure, the de-
feats by Dartmouth and Harvard and the
tie score with Yale. when the Tigers felt
confident OF victory, have made II seem
little better than a complete waste OF
the year 10 the football enthusiasts OF
Jungletown. According to the early sea-
son statements Of the coaches themselves
there was no dearth Of material for a
winning eleven this year. and when II
failed to materialize the coaching system
as usual. was the first thing to catch
the run OF dlSgfunllPn spllllH
All are agreed that Andrews ana
Bluethenthal ought not 10 be censured.
FOR they did all that could he expected OF
absolutely inexperienced men. but the
demand for a new system for the Tigers
is growing more insistent after each dis
appointing season.
Only two regular varsity players. Cap
nd ON arSt GtII-
stltutc. Emmons. will be lost by gradua-
ton from the Princeton team as II played
thlq season. and. barring ineligtbility on
account Of low scholarship, wealth or
promising new material will be available
for next Years coaches. whoever they
NAV be The two losses that VIII be
sustained will be heavy ones. TO be sure.
for Captain Hobey Baker has been one
of the leading spirits Of the Princeton
football eleven for three years In the
backfield. as George Phillips has for the
same length Of time at tackle. II Will be
hard 10 replace both these men. but the
possible material for their positions Is or
an unusually high class. and with care
ful coaching they will not he missed
nearly so much as they might have been
I'm other years.
The supply OF fast ends will be added
TO rather than diminished by the pres
ence OF Eddy and Eberstadt, two new men
from this years freshman eleven, which
gave the Yale freshmen a drubbing by
a score Of 30 TO o. With the added ex-
periencc OF another year. one OF the fast
est pairs Of ends that ever was seen AT
Princeton ought 10 be developed from
among the Ave men who played the wing
posltions this year. Hammond and Shea,
this years regulars will again be eligible
while stew" Baker Lamberton and
Brown will be back for another year at
least
Material for tho tackle positions Will
not b. SO abundant. but IL Will be hardly
less valuable. for BallIn who was with
out much question the best tackle on
the gridron this fall, will be back again
next wear. The loss OF Phillips on the
other side Of the line will be felt. but
can be patched up from this years sub
sttutes and freshmen. Probably the
strongest man will be Love, who took an
easy first substitute job this year unth
he was put out OF the game by badiy
sprained ankle. Larsen. who played Tor
Phillips in the Dartmouth game VIII put
I'm his bid for the berth, and two good
men will be found i'm Bigler and Mclean.
Of the freshman team. Noursc. star
from the West. who has been ineligible
this season. but has shown great prom
lse on the scrub may beat all the better
known men I'm the race for Phillips
place.
AS for the guard positions. which were
the weakest part Of the Tiger line during
the past season. they Will be greatly
strengthened by the seasoning Of the
green material of this years squad and
the presence OF Hogg. who starred at
right guard for the freshmen and made n
name for himself at Andover before COM
ing 10 Princeton Foster. the other cub
guard. may also show varsity qualities

hold forth. with enough competition from
l. t.. Swart and Gowen. a freshman, TO
hold him up to scratch. out OF all the
wealth OF material IL seems hardly pos
sible that Princeton should fail to pro-
duce a better line than this years, which
shattered the attack Of Harvard and
forced Yale to do all her scoring on
single field goal.
In the backheld the only loss will be
that Of Captain Baker. but some OF the
men who hold sure places this year may
have to hold a sideline seat next year,
for by far the greatest part of the new
strength will be in that department.
Click has two more years OF eligibility for
his position at quarterback, and stew"
Baker. as well as the freshmen. Rogers
and Ames. will substitute for him.
STREET. and T.. Trcnkman will be back
for flllback again. but they will have
position IN Eddie Driggs. captain OF the
freshman eleven this year and Kirby,
an Ineligible freshman. who showed con-
siderable power. Both these men are
capable punters, and Kirby especially
will make Law hurry TO hold his place as
the varsity punter. They are both bet
ter men for carrying the ball than Law
and combine speed with power. They are
possible choices for Laws place at half
back although he will again be I'm line.
Dlckerman, halfback on the freshman
eleven. also made a name by his work
for his class team this season. Tibbotts,
a brother of the famous Fred TIbbotts,
Princeton In 1909, also is possible can
didate for the backfield and from his
work on the team of ineligibles this year
