First Game Next Week.

With the beginning of practice by
Harvard and the University of Pennsyl-
vania Monday every big team in the
east was well started on its season.
Yale got the jump all the big teams
in the matter of an early start, but
Princeton and Cornell were not far be-
hind, and even Harvard and Pennsyl-
vania do not expect to suffer any by
comparison when the end of the season
comes
Before another week all of the big
eastern elevens will have played at
least one game, while both Yale and
Cornell will have played twice Yale is
scheduled To meet Wesleyan. while Cor
nell lines up against Trsinus. These
may or may not be easy games. About
every other year Wesleyan proves To Toe

Wesleyan. Coach Sharpe and his as
sistants at Cornell will not breathe free

rrsinus is coached by Price, one OF the
most versatile gridiron instructors among

CRIMSON SQUAD
|SVERY STRONG
Harvard Looks to Have Mar
gin on Yale at the Begin
ming of Practice.
BY EDWARD r. BUSHNELL.

Reading over the roll call of the Har
ward gridiron stars who reported to Coach
Haughton and Capt. Storer when foot ball
practice was begun at Cambridge Mon
day is all one needs to explain why there
is SO much elaton in the Crimson foot
ball camp. OF the eleven players who
walloped Yale last year and won for
Harvard the intercollegiate championship
seven have returned, not to mention a
host of 1912 substitutes who We're but
little If any poorer than the regulars not
to mention unusually good group from
the 1912 freshman team. With the best
squad of regulars ever known at Harvard
left over from the 1872 team, and almost
an over abundance of hgh-class new ma
terial, about all that the Harvard coaches
need to worry about is over confidence.
Some Harvard sympathizers We're much
concerned over the fact that Yale got a
two-week running start in the matter of
preliminary practice. but study of the
veteran material with which the Crimson
has to start the season will convince any
one that Harvard could well afford to
give Yale this big handicap This does
not mean that Harvard Is sure To beat
Yale. The Ellis have proven in dozens of
hard campaigns that they are always d
winning possibility. no matter how poor
they may be nor how rich Harvard may
be in material. But if this years Grim
son eleven is handled rightly it ought to
be d more powerful ombination than
that of last year Such seasoned players
as Harvard had in 1912 do not require as
much preliminary and conditioning work
as the green men Of which the Yale
eleven will have to be built.
Harvards 1912 team was distinguished
by magnificent back field. That quar-
tet made up of Gardiner at quarterback
Hardwick and Briclllcy at halfback and
Wendell at fullhack was one of the
greatest combinations that ever represent
ed the Crimson or any other university.
Two of these men are now gone, the alb
sentees being Capt. Wendell and Gardiner
But there is "A host of high-claSs men
working for the vacancies. The man who
is attracting the most attention and who
promises to rival even the illustrious
Brickley himself is Mahan of last years
freshman team. Nathan can do nearly
everything that Brickley did to perfection
in 1912. He comes to the Harvard var
Sity with Il freshman record in drop and
place kicking as good as that Brickley
made when he played on Harvard'S first
year team. In drop and place kicking he
did almost as efficient work, while in
punting he is Brickley's superior and
even FELTON,, who this year is among the
missing, had nothing on him for distance

ing and kicking attack which promises to
eclipse even what Harvard did last year.

Quarterback Is the Problem.

Quarterback was the weak spot in
Iiarvard's 1912 eleven, if it had any
weakness. Gardiner did not find himself
until his senior year. Even then he was
not a brilliant individual player In Brick
ley, Hardwick and Wendell he had
good supporting trio. and about all he had
to do was to select plays, give the ball to
one of these three men, and they would do
the rest With Gardiner gone three men
are active candidates for his position.
They are Bradlee, Frisdley and Logan.
The first named played on last years
freshman team, while the latter two We're
substitutes on the 1912 VARSITY The
coaches seem to think that Bradlee has
the making of the best quarterback on
the squad, and he is likely to get most OF
their attention. He is big and fast. just
the type of man Harvard looks for III a
quarterback.
From the line only two men are miss
ing. They are Parmenter. at center, and
feiton, at end. There are enough candI-
dates for Parmenter's position, but not
one who has yet measured up 10 his
ability. Capt Storer and Hitchcock have
only to play the high-class game
they did last year at tackle
avoid injuries and their positions
Will be safe enough. Pennock and Trum-
bun, the two guards, are both men of the
same physical excellence and near enough
to all-American caliber not to worry over
their positions. O'Brien is back for end
and Coach Leary, who has charge of the
candidates for this position, has several
candidates who can play the other end as
well as FELTON, did, though none of them
can punt with him. Still, with Brickley
and Meehan in the backfield. the kicking
department will be well cared for.
The unusually high-class men now
working for the Harvard team explains
In part the anxiety of Yale TO set the
early start the Ellis did. The Blue had
two weeks of preliminary work before
Harvard man made his appearance. Yale
men know that their task of beating HaI-
ward this year will be even more severe
than it was in 1912. The Crimson gave
the Blue some pretty hard knocks in all
Tour major sports last year. winning III
root ball. base ball. track athletics and
rowing. Yale men propose to move
heaven and earth this year TO regain some
OF their lost prestige, and even now they
