AsCoRING WE WILL GO.
Oh it's first, first down
On the gridrcn brown.
As We cover The yard lines White.
And no check we know
AZ with GtiS at team That is full of fight!
On our backfield slick
Is up to trick:
And quarter. he's peach;
He keeps shooting plays
In dozen ways
And he's always out of reach.
CHORUS.
Then no. the team, heish no!
Asserting will go.
Wen reach the goal
For it's in our soul;
So let the whistle shrek.
We're OF on march down Held:
So here's to a score. wen make 1t more.
For we'll find the spot that's weak!
A wonderful charge and by-and large
4 line that is good to see,
With shifty backs that can turn in their tracks
And punter somewhat free.
With ends pair 70 raise the hair
OF the catcher you see,
And quarter. too. can step straight through
Where hole should be!
CHORUS.
Then 10, .he team. heish no!
Harvard is probably better situated
than any of the other teams in the
country in respect to her BACK
field. Brickley. and Mahan are the
tE se m ataas e OF tent drop ne
we have ever seen, and the latter an
exceptional end runner. good aver
age punter with ability to place his
kicks, and a man who under practice
and in his play on cis, IS team dem
onstrated exceptional ability with the
forward pass. He has not been used
in that respect very much, as Har-
wards game is not dependent upon it.
With Bradle, a stout line plunger, to
supplement these two. the combination
is ideal. Like Yale, Harvard will have
some breaks to fill up in her line, put
there is lot of material from the
scrub and freshman of last year. AL
together it looks as though Haughton
would be able to start out with a thor
oughly developed backfeld who have
played together and can be slipped In
he can give his substitutes practice. He
will have to get ready for his Michi-
gan game, for that is important but
these veterans in the backfield will
help very materially.
Yale's backfield remaining intact this
season. and if games were decided upon
the number of possible hrst-class
backs, the Blue would certainly stand
Guernsey, Wilson. Ainsworth. Pum-
pelly, lie Gore, Cornell. McLeish and
Millburn, the array looks striking. I'm
fortunately, the old saying Is true
bali teams without good line, and that
brings up another question, for Yale
lost last season a captain and center in
Marting, her two guards. Capt Ket-
cham and Pendleton; Warren, their
tackle. and Avery. their end. besides
Cooney, the substitute center and gen.
eral utility man, at guard. That is
something of a sweeping out of a line
Cornish in the Colgate game forced
Wilson from the backfield into quarter,
8 position he played with credit, but
the combination would have been
stronger with Guernsey at quarter and
Wilson in the backfield Wilson is
available for either place this year.
While for ends. there are Brann and
Carter, two men who, when in con-
iition last season. did creditaole work
also Roberts. CALDWELL substitute
center: Chatfield, Taylor and Miller,
another substitute center; Capt Talbot,
himself at tackle. with Robertson, Wal
den and Way as guards. make up the
first line of material. 1t looks as though
Yale would have to develop some of her
freshman material of last year or SUBJ
stitutes to build up a line to protect
her good backs.
Princeton started out last year with
q rush. indeed. and before the 1st of
November her team was going at as high
a pace as that of any other on the grid
iron, but when sitter opposition was
offered In November in the shape of the
bigger teams the attack lost something
of its power. although in the early
part Of the Harvard game. in spite of
the slippery field. the line plunging
was excellent. This year Princeton
starts out with Penfeld as field coach
Amos at its head. Everybody hack in
the late sos remembers the marvellous
kicking and running of this Princeton
Tiger. Perhaps one ought to say, in
cidentally. that Ames' ability on the
golf course now very nearly equals his
former quality on the foot ball field
He has also son coming on at school
now who is going to make an athlete,
too. The rest of the committee con-
sists of Taylor. Sheffield, Herring and
Fsrr. and this committee is to have
the actual charge. Princeton was I'M
fortunate in having two wet days for
year. and no opportunity to show what
her team could do on a dry field. Hence
the test until they came to the Yale
game was inconclusive That game end
