There may be some doubt about Princeton's backfield next season, but there isn't any about her line. For she will have Yates on hand. and in MT. Yates she will have the best foot ball player in the U. s. of A. He only weighs 246 and ohe isn't any faster than a good end or halfback. Hardly a bit.

There are yet a number of cold and spectral winter moons ahead of us be- fore we come to another October. Rut even this far ahead Mandarin George Stallings, of the Braves, can visualize his clan romping into the Red Sox, Tigers or White Sox, as the American league case might be.
 Stallings was confident enough last spring. But unkempt Fate blocked his way. And now for 1916 the Brave leader believes he has even thwarted Fate.
 "I have received word," says Stall lings, that Bill James is now back in shape and all soreness has left his nrm. But in addition to James, Ru- dolph, Hughes. Ragan and Tyler. have in Neff and Barnes two of the greatest young pitchers I have ever seen. Out of these seven pitchers I am sure to get four who are in shape and four will be enough. For I have at last gotten regular out neld-the best one 1 have ever had and I know beyond doubt will have a much better ball club than the Braves of 1914-or much better pail club than the team that took the field last year.
 The Return of tho Braves. Stallings is no wild and woolly prophet nor any rabid dispenser or the voluble dope. But it is simple enough to observe that deep down in his soul he is quite sure his Braves will stage a return and re-enter the 1 Promised Land of world series kale and glory.
 And it takes no terrific expert to confess that so far as the dope goes Stallings has started his dream up the l stairway of probability. Certainly, in l the advance fling, the Braves look to { be the One Best Pick of the N. l.. l field.
