Hard Hit 81 Graduation

! fIInited Pre,,s:s.l

Princeton football team has been
particularly hard hit by graduations
and ineligibility, but Coach Bill
Roper is confident Of building cham
pipnship combination out of the
wealth of new material
sis the case with most big eastern
elsvens, Roper's hardest task is to
develop suitable pair of ends but,
in:adMtion, he must construct a back
!. Although twelve letter men re-
turned to- school this fall few of them
were regulars, Men must be devel-
oped to take the places of such stars
as Stiubing, sTrimble, McGraw and
Williams, who graduated. Holmes,
Snivsly, Euwer and Lipscomb, all
members. of last years freshman
team, are not, available either because
Of leaving school: OF, being declared
insligible. #}'I.H -.
Out Of the squad of sixty five that
reported for first practice the follow
ing appear@to have the best chances
Of making the varsity:

Raymond was d varsity end last
year. Davis also has had varsity ex-
perience. Jones was freshman end
in 1919 and Legendre formerly
starred with Tulane "
1"Stan" .Keek was one Of last years
stars but was out of the game most
Of the time with injuries. He weighs
200 pounds, is a terrific line plunger
and an accurate place-kicker. Rutan
was on the freshman team last year.
Hooper, Halsey and Epson played on
last years scrubs. Thomas was sub
stitute center last year. Dickinson,
Morgan. and McCaull have had var
sity experience. The latter may have
made q. regular but for injuries.
Captain Mike Callahan will be I'M
derstudied at center, by Opie and
Scureman. The latter was sub
center when his leg was broken last
year, ~, ..
Lourie, who played in part of the
Harvard game last fall, is a good
open field runner and is sure on
punts. Stimson and German alter
mated at quarter on the freshman
eleven. =
;.SMurrey, who kicked field goals
against both Harvard and Yale last
year, seems to be certain as a half
back. Gilroy was full on the fresh
man team. Wittmer has had varsity
experience. &c..
rScheersr is one of the best punters
insthe game. He also is a good ground
gamer, ,aA evidenced by his perform
ance against Yale last year. Gilroy
and Lourie may also be tried out at
full. Others who are showing we'll
on the squad are Cleaves, Gordon and
,Cutchins.
= Princeton opened with Swarthmore
here last Saturday. The next game
will be with Maryland State. WASH
ington and Lee plays. here October

Princeton beat, Is to 6 last year,
