| The prospects are that Princeton is
going to show US a speedy football
team during the season to come.
| That seems to be the talk down
Princeton way. Even thus early there
appears to be an evidence of dash
! about the men that is convincing.
The old boys are right on the job and
the youngsters are displaying a de-
| termination that is most satisfying to
! the coaches. Sort of a line was Sc
cured on the men yesterday when a
good healthy scrub team was sent in
against the regulars. The one touch
| down came about in the first ten
minutes of play, after which there
was a long period with strictly moth
ing doing. AS far as their real
efforts went, the regulars have moth
| ing to blush for. Their work was full
of ginger and they plugged so fast
| and hard that the scrubs fell asunder
when the attacks were particularly
strenuous. There was much fumbling
loose and careless. When down to
stern reality, though, the Tigers made
| grand showing for so early in the
season.
O.
Captain HOBBY Baker was in evil
dence good and strong yesterday and
it was on his big gain as a
result of a forward pass that the only
touchdown of the scrimmage was re-
corded. Captain Baker is in pretty
fair condition even thus early in the
season, and in him Princeton is going
| to place lot of hope. OF the young
several of them look promising, but
not one of the numerous candidates
gives more promise than Heyniger,
who has been given chance at left
guard. This boy is very good, and
he seems to improve with every prac-
tise. Another youngster who may
make the eleven in one way or an
other is Merritt, whose line bucking
|
much attention in his direction. He
was really the only man in the back
field who did any gaining at all, and
his line buclSing was marked and GER
tain. He comes with Coach Andrews
land he seems to be a mighty good
selection.

A football hero is a lasting fellow
/ One sensational play in one of the big
college games and you are marked
for life-pointed out as the man O
the occasion. Thus Pumpelly, o
Yale, will get just about as mucl
press dope as the next one. HI
might lead the league if he ha
good luck At present he is out of tn
practise with a bruised muscle an,
there is much wailing among tn
dogs of war" Pumpelly's fame cam
about last year through most beau
tiful kick OF about flfty-five yards il
the game against Princeton. 1t save
the day in the last few minutes 0
play and came when the chances wer
more than 100 to 1 that the Bulldoj
was a beaten canine. 1t was a DIES
perate chance that the coaches, too
and they had their own time pullin
| it off, too. Lefty Flynn, the capital
of the Ellis, for whom Pumpelly sub
stituted at the time in question
didn't want to get out of the gam
by a long shot. He stood and argue
the point and even put his headgea
back on and went back to play
out, when the coaches insisted on til
change to Pumpelly. Flynn left til
field reluctantly. He was sore indeed
Those who saw that wonderful kic
will not forget it in a hurry. Th
play was just about fifty-five YARD
from the goal line and considerable
to the right. AS the signal was givel
Pumpelly dropped back and the pas
came up to him perfectly. He ser
his toe into the pigskin and away
sailed as if on a string, its cours
was so straight and low and eve
AS it neared the goal posts it lo
some of its power and began to reac
. out for the earth. There was jul
enough life left, however, to carry
over the bar. but not until after
had hit said bar almost plumb cent
and meditated for the moment whic
: way to go. 1t went Yales wa
, though, and Princeton, which hs
} played most beautiful game, hs
Ito be content with tie. For once
