We are on the threshold Of the great

statement, but its use will he indicated

We look for a Yale year-the hrst

Blue has lost nobody whom 1t cannot
replace with a better player. On the
other hand. Harvard and Princeton Will
miss a good many Of their leaders.
Harvard has been especially hard hit.

Princeton has los, eleven first class

all highly dependable men. Among
those who have left are Frank Click.

to Princeton last year from Yale and

Many Changes In Coaches.

changes In coaching stafs. The me
important Is that at Yale. where Fra

The captain at Yale-Cupid Black
