Three football elevens of more OF
less Importance in the collegiate. world
open their football seasons tomorrow,
and are sure to attract the attention
Of the solons Of the game eager to find
signs of coming superiority. Yale lines
up against Wesleyan, Cornell battles
Ursinus. and Holy Cross starts the pig
skin rolling with the Norwich Uni
versity eleven. Last season Wesleyan
scored a field goal on the Ellis, but was
beaten 10 to 3. Cornell did not meet
Ursinus, but Norwich defeated Holy
Cross, to 0. 1t will be interesting to
note the results of tomorfow's contests.
In addition, Carlisle, which opened its
season with a victory over Albright
Saturday, 25 to 0, will get into action
against Lebanon Valley. Last year the
Indians won from this team, IS to o,
but this score will hardly be duplicated
tomorrow.
OF course, chief interest in tomor-
rows preliminary games lies in what
the Yale team will do against Wes-
leyan. Howard Jones, the Eli coach,
believes that three or four touchdowns
will be marked up for the Blue He Is
judging from the speed and power
shown in the early drills on Yale Field,
something not equaled at New Haven
in several years. Yale is going into
this football season very much in
earnest. Gone altogether is that feel
ing that the Blue always wins" Har-
ward and Princeton have upset the old
confidence existing for decades. and
now the Ellis are getting down TO busl-
ness from the start
Yale has a large number of veterans
from last years eleven, but they will
have to produce the goods to make
their jobs certain. keteham, Avery,
Cooney, Warren, and probably a hall

varsity, but even they will have to
demonstrate their efficiency to the sat

backs are sadly needed at New Haven.

coaches opportunities of watching sew
eral field generals in action.
Against Wesleyan Yale will very
likely use Avery and Gile, ends; Tai
bott, Pendleton! White and Won Holt,
tackles: Gooney. Warren. HARRISON
Iar;Ing. centers; Wilson, Cornish.
Cuarterbacks: Castles, Wiser, Markle.
Taylor, nowles, Savage, Guernsey and
one or two more backs.
Knowles entered Yale from Brown
University and is looked upon by the
Flynn as punter and dropkicker.
Robinson, a lineman from Minnesota
University, has also joirSd the squad
and will be heard from later.
Dearth of material is handcapping
Al Sharpe at Cornell and what few
players he has have much to learn.
The old Yale halfback has started in

three years 10 do il. Against Penn last
November Cornell played as good foot
bll as was seen anywhere. but during
the season its work was wretched.
There is no foretelling what will be
seen tomorrow. Ursinus is hardly
line, but Al Sharpe's charges will need
to keep their eyes open.
Holy Cross. to be seen here Thanks

heavy material for both line and back
field and. in addition. the Purple is
going out to avenge last years defeat
al the hands of the Norwich eleven
Hence, watch for a comfortable score
by Holy Cross. irrespective of what
Norwich may do.
The signs of the times are that
Princeton will bank once more on a
fast team equipped with much open
aggressive line will protect some of the
best kickers and runners in the East
that Dartmouth will gain speed and
alertness at the expense of some OF
that beef of 1872, that Penn will make
the most out of ordinary material un-
der the skilled coaching Of. George
Brooke. that Yale will use that splen-
did material murdered by Door coach
ing last year, and that Carlisle will
have the same tricky, powerful team II
has always had, with Acasa filling Jim
Thorpe's shoes to 4 nicely.
Coming nearer home. Virginia ought
to have one of its best teams in years.
The Chariottesville contingent is hard
at work. there is plenty of material and
Rice Warren knows his business
Georgetown must find a pair of tackles
and back or two before the Blue and
Gray can face the Orange and Blue on
equal terms. Both teams are complain
