HARVARD 8 STAR
DUE FOR DECLINE
Yale and Princeton Look to Be
Leaders in Next Few Years.
Crimson Eleven Will Lose
Stars.
By Frank G.. Menke.

NEW YORK, Dec. Hooking on
into 1915 IL seems to us that the Grim
son along the football horizon is fad
ing and that the blue of Yale and the
black and yellow of Princeton are in
the ascendancy.
Yale and Princeton have furnished
easy picking for Harvard in a foot
ball way during the past two or three
years. But graduauOns next June
threaten to wreck the Crimson ma
chine that swept through TO such
great victories last year and this year.
OF the 1914 regulars only three will
be left-Mahan, ParsOn and Wallace.
On the other hand. Princeton will
lose only three of its regulars, includ-
ing Capt. Balm. its great tackle,
while Yale will lose only two or three
valuable men and Will have left the
neucles for a great eleven.
OF course, Haughton, the Harvard
coach, may find some stars of the first
magnitude among the candidates, who
will present themselves for jobs in
1915. Probably some may rise to such
heights that stars of 1913 and 1914
will not be missed. But the lookout
for Yale and Princeton for 1915 is
much roster than that Of Harvard.
Regulars Will Return.
Most Of those who played regularly
for Yale and Princeton this season will
return next year, and the experience
they had this year will be of great
on the other hand, Harvard must
build a new team around three reg
ulars which, even for man Of
HaughtOn's wizardy, is som thing Of
a JOB.
Included in those who never again
viii wear a Harvard uniform are
Brickley, the great fullback and drop
IL, r II
''Tacks' Hardwick, the regular ends;
Atkinson, substitute linesman; Swi-
CERT, substitute quarterback; Trum-
bull, tackle;- Underwood, substitute
linesman; Weston, linesman; Withing-
ton, substitute Hnesman and end;
Pennock, linesman; Logan, quarter
back; SigOurney and Smith substitute
linesnan; Francke, fullback; Wealth
erhead, substitute end; Kean, SubSti-
tute linesman; Elkan, substitute half
back and end, and Conway, linesman.
Princeton loses by graduation only
BALM, Shenk and Eddie Trenkmann,
of the regulars. 1t loses q number of
good substitutes, but from out OF this
years freshmen squad some great
players will be available for varsity
jobs next year. Princeton will retain
Moore and Dickerman, the two sub
stitute halfbacks, who performed SO
we'll for the Tigers against Yale.
Driggs, the punting fullback, will be
back. SO will Tibbott, the other half
back. Ames and Eberstadt, quarter
back, will be candidates for the pivot
job again.
Yale Keeps EeGOre.
Yale retains LeGore, who was about
two-thirds of the Yale team this year.
With the experience that he gained
this year. LeGore ought to show up in
even more wonderful fashion in 1915.
Wilson. the varsity quarterback, will
be on the job again.
ScOvil one of the greatest plunging
halfbacks ever seen in the east who
was forced TO act as first substitute
this year, will get a chance to become
a regular next year. And Scovil prom
iSes to make himself famous. Guern-
sey, a fine kicker and a fine end sitter,
also will be back and will be can
didate for backfield job.
Brann, Talbot, Conroy. White and
Stillman Of the Yale line, will be miss
ing in 1915. But after what happen
ed TO those fellows in the Harvard
game, 1t probably will be just as well
for Yale's 1915 chances that their
places will be taken by someone else.
