Haughton has big Job on his hands II he
hopes to turn out a nning team this fall.
Only three regulars are back and the substi-
tutes have not yet shown anything startling.
In the Colby game last Saturday the Grim
, son barely was able to win by the score of
10 to 0, and the chances are that they will
have TO go some against Bates tomorrow.
Captain Dadmun and Dick Harte are the
real players on the team, and Tom En-
wright. who was declared ineligible last
fall, has worked Off his scholastic cond-
tions and will greatly strengthen the back

The line is very weak in spots. the play.

Just what kind of team Princeton has
this year is a mystery. The candidates
have been practicing up in the mountains

astic and excessively patriotic reports, the
squad looks better than ever before. How
ever, we shall see what's what tomorrow.
Holy Cross has fairly decent team and
will give Speedy's Rushlets hard battle.
Yale Plays Carnegie
Yale will appear in the limelight for the
FIRST time this season tomorrow against
Carnegie Tech. 1t will be interesting to
note the playing of the Blue under the
Jones system. but Old Eli will have little
trouble in winning. The Westerners are
