FO0TBAu
TEAM IS HANDICAPPED :
BY Loss OF GOOD men

Philadelphia, Penn, Sept. 16.-No
college will envy the task which con-
fronts the Princeton football authori-
ties this year. The Tigers got to work
Monday Of last week, but the way their
1912 team has been riddled by gradua-
ton and other causes 1t is a wonder
they did not begin work earlier. OF
the 1912 team Princeton has only
three regulars, who have returned.
For two new coaches to build up a
winning team with so small a nucleus
is likely to prove a mighty hard job.
The only regulars of the 1912 team
are Captain Baker, who was an ALI
American half back. and ]. F. Philips,
who played left tackle. Last years
regulars, who have been lost by grad
uation or other causes, are Bluethen-
thai, at center: Logan and Shenk, at
guard; Penfield. a tackle;; Dunlap
and Wight. who alternated at end;
Waller, a half back; Dewitt, the full
back. and ex-Captain Pendleton, who
~alternated between the back field and
the end. OF the men who are in the
lost class, Waller and Shenk will be
on hand when the university opens
but both have trouble with their stud
les and will not be allowed to play.
There is not much doubt that
Princeton will have a very good back
field, because the two Bakers were
both splendid players. Captain Baker
in particular. wal me Of the best open
field runners Of the entire year. He
is also a splendid drop kicker, though
as a punter he IL only Of average abil-
ity. The present outlook is that
will play full back. He is
a bigger man than Dewitt and a good
line plunger.

Resolution Submitted.
Little business other than that, OF
the drafting was taken up by the Ma

President Ebbets Of the. Brooklyn Ma
Nonal league club was submitted. It
aims to- revise the drafting rules so
as to give the teams which. are: low
est IN h league the chance
To chtain first call on the players that
are drafted. Briefly It. is as follows:
There shall be sixteen draft selec-
lions numbered from one to sixteen
which shall be awarded to the sixteen
major league clubs.
The National leagle and the
American league shall determine by
lot. which league shall have the odd

1.-THE great element Of uncertain
ty as to the players to be secured will
be removed.
"2-the elimination Of fling lists Of

"3-minimize the possibility Of a

players not up to the standard.
"4-the elimination of the techni-

MICHIGAN PLANS
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Football Coaches all on Deck
For the First Practice
This Afternoon.

Ann Arbor. Mich. Sept. 16.-The
clans have been gathering at Ann Ar
Dor during the past few days. The
big influx did not take place until
yesterday. With practice starting In
real today. practically all of
the men were in this burg yesterday,
and the three coaches were here ready
for the seasons work. AS has al
ready been noted, Trainer Farrell has
heen on the ground for several weeks.
Probably all of the men who are
invited to this preseason drill will be
here for the workout with the ex-
ception of Jimmy Craig. For some
reason the Detroiter does not show
a willingness to get out this season.
hut the fans here refuse to give up
hope. They figure that the voices OF
the coaches and the call of the game
itself will prove too alluring for him
to ignore.
\ New lime Coach.
Even though things may be a bit
more open in the l,acktield than in
the line. the heavies who hold over
this season are not going to have any
sweet young time in holding to their
old positions. In the first place. there
he may nave different ideas about the
value of some of the men than did
his predecessor. Even granting that
this will not be sc to an appreciate
) extent. he is sure to have many new
ideas of the way the positions should
be played. and 1t will he the men
who conform to the Schultz model
most quickly and most readily who
will have the call for the steady jobs.
It is not going to he any silk-lined
JOY scoot. either. to play the Michigan
line this season, because the reserves
are pretty certain to be bolstered up
by the presence of some ESQ pounds
of trained muscle in the person of this
same Schultz nan He has ordered his
toys and is planning to get into the
mixup and show the boys just how
they used to do it in the good old
days. If he turns out a line Of the
caliber that he did at Wisconsin the
fans here will have no kick coming.
Yost has not divulged just what his
plan Of procedure is to be this fall, but
one thing is certain and that is that
there will be lots of work. There
will be three sessions each day
though for the first day or so the
coach will not drive the men as hard
as he will a bit later. The morning
and afternoon workouts will he large
ly in forward passing. tackling, fall
ing on the ball and getting up speed.
The evenings will be devoted to the
mastering of the 1918 football code.
Those who have friends on the squad
may be thankful that the rule thinkers
did not see At to make any changes,
and for that reason the vets will not
have much to do except refresh their
memories.
