EASTERN TEAMS
APPEAR STRONG
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Penn
Open 1914 Season Today

New York. Sept. 2G.-The heavy ar
tillery Of the eastern college football
brigade unlimbers today and the boom
OF punt and dfop Kick is heard Oh
many varsity gridiron. Harvard.
Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cornell,
Dartmouth and many other elevens
enter tie field, majority playing the
initial game of their schedules. While
all report excellent material from
which to build up teams. which late
in November will be battling for east
ern football supremacy, the coaches
make no secret Of the fact that in al
most every case they are counting
heavily upon veteran players about
whom they will build the 1914 football
machines
In this respect Harvard, which holds
the 1913 season honors, is unusually
we'll equipped for the hard campaign
which Includes games with Yale,

This schedule, probably the hardest
that has been undertaken by an east
ern team In recent years, places
heavy strain upon the team, and ii is
certain that far more than the usual

the major and minor contests. 1t Ia
fortunate, therefore, that Harvard is
well supplied with first and second
string veteran material. In Captain
Brickley the Crimson has the most
consistent drop kicker OF modern foot
ball This is a great asset, hut the
team as whole must bring Brickley
to within striking distance of the goal
and hold on defense while he gets his
kicks away safely.
Outlook at Harvard.
For this purpose Harvard has ma
jority of the line and backfield which
last autumn brought championship
To Cambridge. ON the line Cowan ana
Pcnnock are again available as guards;
Trumbull and Soucy for either center
or tackle and Hardwick and Coolidge
at ends. The backfield is intact with
Logan at quarter, Mahan and Bradiee
at halfback and Briclley at fun back
Coach Hauehton's problem is to de-
Velop from the second string and 1918
freshmen squad two tackles ana one
end. To select three or four suitable
players from squad of some seventy
candidates is not task beyond
Haughtons reach and with a satisfac-
tory second string Harvards line up
problem should be solved early TINS
