TO bring about a victory so devou
Captain Click. it seems to me-
Il Princeton when he said to-day
Is better than at any time since
pretty good physical condition too
This mental attitude impressed me
strongly. On the field, in the locker
room. at the training table, every man
was in good humor. There was no
atmosphere Of teEseness and nervous
strain. II is seldom one hears iaugn
on the gridiron. Captain Click iauGheu

ouips in the dressing room after
most strenuous afternoon was over was
not indicative OF an overwrought or an
exaggerated mental condition. IL was
the best sign IN the world.
Man OF Few Words.
Rush is not q man of many words
bat what he says carries cohNlcUoh'
lie is a believer from all appearances
IN that old saying actions speak louder
than words" II wants the team 10 De

what he or somebody else THINKS; II ne

lie is the type @ man lh"' Su'0eS'
seeks out.
He welcomed ne this afternoon and
made me lust as much at home al the
Sor~et practice and at the training
table es IL another Jim McCormieK or
a Big Bill Edwards or BUNNY booth
we're back 10 lend counsel or ADVICE
In speakinc of :1t team, he said;
IL never worked with finer crowo
Of fellows. They are ever willing, ever

his men. There is confidence III IN Inelr
bearinr. but no overcontidence. They
know a lot Of football, too, II the signs
today count for anything, and IT re-
mains 70 be seen only what use they
can make Of this knowledge against
Harvard on Saturday and against la!e
the following week. The real test Is
at hand.
Credits TO Princeton.
Frank Click has magnetism and a
,triking personality. They are saying
down here that he is one OF the pest
leaders Princeton team ever hau'
There can be no question about ms
having earned the confidence OF hlS
mates. His uniform good nature ana
CHEEKY disposition on the campus a
we'll as on the field makes tor good Iei-
owship. Here's one football PLAYER II
seems. that the burdens OF captainey
have not spoiled II any man deserves
success by the sheer force OF ms own
character, Click is that man.
Speedy Rush was right when ne sald
he never worked with finer lot OF EEL
lows. In looks, in manners ana IN ae-
tions each one is sure TO be cIeuIU
10 Princeton. II is something OF an
ordeal. as q rule, 70 be introduced 10
bunch of thirty or forty men, but no
embarrassment was felt TINS aiter-
noon. The men in their heartness dis-
pelled the feeling. ..lr
The practice was good one ana SUI"
without being too strenuous. Inc iuh-
damentals were not neglected Du' nost
of the time was devoted TO an onenslSe
drill in formations. Princeton VIII be
properly armed TINS year. anu '"ete
should be no lack Of variety to the at
attack 80
Rush made no announcement as 10
his Ene-up for the Harvard game on
Saturday. but il looks as II Lamoertoh
will start the game at right END IN
stead Of Brown.
The latter is sure 20 be used part OF
the time. however Lamberton's worA
in the backfeld has speeded MN up.
lie is not so good as Brown and hlghIey
down the field. but he has Few equais IN
taking out a tackle and also IS cleVer
in handling forward passes.
The Team.
II is reasonably sure that Mclean,
high class tackle and one OF the strong,
men IN tft 4litf anu Ai"4"Nf 80
start against Harvard as the tackles,
while Nourse and Hogg will be the
guards. "Red" Gennert also appears TO
be q fixture at centre, although Butter,
worth is pressing closely. Highley Will
be at left end. Next to Bill Moore,
the sprinter and captain of the track
team, he is the fastest man on the
squad.
The backfield is definitely Fixed with
Click. Shea, the transformed end; Dave
Tibbott, the elusive runner and drop
kicker, and Eddie briggs. who has i'm
proved lot over last season. and Is
now OF substantial value aside from his
punting.
Buz Law. the baseball captain; Bill
Moore. Charley Dickerman and Jack
Eddy and Snake Ames will be able
substitutes.
Halsey is a comparatively new man
al tackle. but is taking kindly 10 the
lob. He was a pupil Of Mike Sweeney
