NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Old King
Football is about to mount the sport
throne. He is collecting his reservists
throughout the country and already
has engaged in many slight slSirmishes
with his ancient enemy, Gar Base
ball. In all of the outlying posts Foot
ball's forces are scoring heavily. Around
the big centers, though, Baseball still
holds forth the strongest.
Not until after the worlds series
stuff does King Football expect to reign
supreme. He comedies Gar Baseball a
lead on space in the sporting pages until
after Mackmen score their usual fall
victory, but after that he expects TO
come into his own with a vengeance.
The football outlook around the cast
this year is unusually interesting. Yale
occupies the spotlight, not because it is
expected to "clean up this fall, but
because Frank Hinkey is back to coach
Old Ellis pigskin warriors. The prospect
of this former Blue star putting in a
winning team there this year Is very
doubtful. The task is too great, in the
minds of football critics.
But the Hinkey spirit, as 1t is remem-
bered by ones who saw that famous
star in action in the old days, is some
thing to be- reckoned with and the seem
ingly impossible may be accomplished.
Hinkeys efforts, at any rate, will be
closely watched.
In the preliminary work to date,
Hinkey has tried out large number Of
candidates. His policy seems to be that
every man who reports is going 10 get
chance. He seems TO want to see for
himself what material he has on hand.
Only the three players who were re-
garded as regulars are available for
Hinkey They arc Captain Talbot,
Halfback Carroll Knowles and Quar-
terback Aleck Wilson.
Hinkey is being assisted at present
by DR.. Billy Bull, who has charge of all
the kicking candidates; doc" Cornishi
who is directing the quarterback aspi-
rants. aud Billy Marting, who is show
ing the ccnters the fine points.
Harvard's candidates reported only

held at all. although the Crimson is be
lieved to face an unusually hard sched
