Not until after the Worlds Series does
King Football expect to reign supreme.
The football outlook around the East
this year Is unusually interesting. Yale
occupies the spotlight, not because it is
expected to "clean up" this fall, but be-
cause Frank Hinkey Is back to coach
Old ELS pigskin warriors. The prospect
of this former Blue star putting in a win

task is too great, in the minds of football
critics. But the Hinkey spirit as 1t Is
remembered by those who saw that fa-
nous star in action in the old days, Is
something to be reckoned with and the
seemingly impossible may be accom-
plished. Hnkey's efforts, at any rate
Will be closely watched.
In the preliminary work to date, Hinkey
has tried out large number of candl-
dates. His policy seems to be that every
man who reports is going to get a chance.
He seems to want to see for himself what
material he has on hand. Only the three
players who were regarded as regulars
are available for Hinkey. They are Cap
