when the football season opened this
fall II was found that such was -
the case. Tho only result of the cx-
~traordinary efforts which had to be
used TO good material was the
putting OF nearly every man on the
squad on the hospital list.
The early date that Princeton ap-

fact that the Green team has 10 he

nothing OF tho plays the former will use

Not only has Cavanaugh been forced to
formulate some new plays but he has
had to formulate a new football machine
to guide them. The ends who played
