absence OF the coach cast shadow
over their 1917 football prospects. Tho

he starred on the. Orange and Blue

In mentioning the fact that Pitt re-
ceived his initial football training at
Richmond Academy. it also might be
we'll to state that the entire backfield
or the Spiders was taught football at
Richmond Academy. from which they
graduated as stars. Tom Miller, Good
win Kuyk and Pitt. who moro than
likely Will be three fourths of the
Spiders backf1eld. are graduates of
Richmond Academy. Robbie whittet

pivot positions. is also a graduate Of

not thought that any OF the other back

Carter, Robins, Cakes and Henderson.
varsity linemen of last fall will not
return. and 1t will be necessary for an
entirely new line to be built from the
substitutes OF last year and the green
material that will enter the school.
Carter was elected captain of the 1917
team, but enlisted In the government
service. and will not return to college.
His absence will make 1t necessary for
another captain to be elected. 1t has
been rumored that Henderson, who al
ternated at confer with Shepherd Ia st
year, may return.
Rucker, Robinson and Thomas, sub
stitute linemen OF last year, will all be
back In college this fall. and will come
out for the Spiders eleven. Last year
these men gave promise OF developing
into good players, and Coach Pitt is

Intimation that Pope Benedict may
