briggs WILL HELP
PRINCETON IN 1914
Is Captain of Freshman Eleven
Which Gives Varsity Stiff
Practice This Year.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Princeton Is going to have a power
full punter in 1914. Ed briggs. captain
of the freshman eleven, can outkick
any member of the varsity team, and,
furthermore, is doing 1t in practice
every day. If he We're eligible to play
with the varsity now he would be
sure Of a berth. Blu. all he can do Is
to upset the best laid plans of the
varsity coaches day after day on Os-
born Field.
briggs gives US the best practice
imaginable" says Phil King, the Wash
ingtonian coaching the Tigers backs.
He makes our kickers look foolish.
His ends have some trouble covering
his drives, and the other day in that
high wind he had Stew Baker and
Hobey Baker standing on their heads
trying to get his spirals. He's going
to make a wonderful punter for us next
season. Just keep his name in your
memory-Driggs, Princeton, II. He's
a conner"
"Pudge" Heffelfinger, a giant guard
in the line years and years ago, is at
New Haven. and, not satisfied with
looking on and talking to the players,
dons uniform and plays guard on the
scrubs. Inasmuch as he weighs in the
neighborhood of go pounds, stands we'll
over six feet tall, and never gets tired.
he fills large hole in the scrubs de-
fense. The varsity backs prefer trying
some other holes in the line than that
occupied by Heffelfinger. because he
has a way of twisting the backs necks,
mauiing their faces, and hurting them
in the opposite direction. The veteran
always visits New Haven and practices
with the squad throughout his stay.
Chester Minds is proving wonderfully
adept at shooting the forward pass for
Penn, and all opponents must study his
style, if they would upset this winning
play. He has succeeded against all
methods of defense. and bids fair TO go
on down to the big games.
Jim Thorpe's visit TO Carlisle brought
! instant improvement in the punting of
Welch and Guyon. Thorpe spent all of
his time teaching these two players the
secret of getting the ball away rapidly
and his instructions are expected 20
bring results.
Three fights for places on the varsity
eleven are in progress at Harvard.
Trumbull and Soucy are battling for
| center. Mills and Cowan are even in
while Bradlee. Freedley and Logan are
| all taking turns playing quarter.
Dee Randolph. tine former Western
High star, Is making a valiant fight for
a place behind the Virginia line and
town next month. Randolphs speed
stands him in good stead and Johnny
Ray, his opponent, is oeinG forced hard
Randolph is an exceptionally good line
plunGer and is proving it every day in
parctice.
Princeton coaches are worrying about
the absence of a punter in the varsity
squad. Hobey Baker and STREET. boot
the leather about thirty yards pitifu
distance when compared with what
Hardwick, Mahan and Brickley are do
ing at Harvard and Guernesy, Pumpel-
ly and Knowles are achieving at Yale
Unless a good pUntcr is found the
Tigers may be driven back by Harvard
