Material Is There.

AT quarterback, Jones has not decided
whether Thorne Murphy. son of the
greatest athletic trainer the world yet
has seen. is better than F'ido Kempton,
a youngster who knows a lot of football
and can play It, But these are minor
worries. The material is there.
The last time Carnegie Tech came to
Yale, several years ago. it held the Ellis
to only a couple OF touchdowns. The
engineers proved fast and scrappy. This
year. again under the coaching of Wal
ter Steffen, the old Chicago star, Car
negie is reported to be fast though light.
Princeton, which started the 1919 sea-
son so dismally only to come through
in blaze of glory, again has Bill Roper
at the helm and looks for greater sue
cess than 1t enjoyed last November. 1t
expects another triumph over Yale and
something better than tie with Har-
ward. And small blame to the Tigers
for expecting, as they seem to have
lot of top\ notch football players, with
the traditional speed of the Tiger.
Princeton will take the field against
Swarthmore to-day minus Trimble. star
of 1919, Strubing, McGraw and Paris
settle, who have gone, and Clarity. who
is not yet ready to play hard football
But the new men seem to be quite up to
to have a worthy successor to Trimble.
while Lourie seems to be taking good
care of Strubing's old job at quarter
Tiger Captain Pressed.
Mike Callahan, the captain, is having
the time of his life holding his place
at centre and IL he does not improve
may be forced to give way to Opie
who is reported to be coming along like
n house Attire. Opie was fumbling
back last season, but he is a sure fire
centre Nthis fall 1t looks like n good
season at Princeton, but IL looks like
a good one at Yale and Harvard too,
and since all three cannot have sue
cessful campaigns it becomes evident
that. after all, there is some doubt
and that we will be interested in the
big games anyway.
Harvard which had no easy ti.Ife in
winning over Holy Cross last saturday
by the skinny margin of to 0, VIII
take on Maine this afternoon. AS
Maine played a scoreless tie with Bos-
ton University last week there seems
10 be ground for expecting one of those
old fashioned early season Harvard
scores-something we'll beyond the
thirty mark, anyway. Harvard will get
the exercise which 1t craved last week
that of seeing its attack in full swing
and its defence not too busy.
Columbia Meets Trinity.
Columbia will open against Trinity,
which IL has not met since 1891. when
the Hartford eleven piled up score OF
"a to 0. The Blue and White Will start
under n new coaching system. as In
stituted by Frank O'Neill, n Williams
graduate. who did lot to lift Syracuse
to a high plane in the football world.
O'Nelll has instilled a lot of snap and
dash into his squad and II shapes up
quite well.
Fordham. under the coaching of Joe
Dumoe. also seems to have made great
Roadway. The New York state Agsies
are not likely TO bother the Maroon very
much. over at Hoboken Stevens, which
did not suffer defeat all last season, VIII
omen against Penn Military. New York
University will not play until next week.
when il will engage Columbia.
Something new will be tried by the
Army. which will use all of its PLAYERS
In double header with Marshall Col
lege Of West Virginia and Union. Just
why Il wis necessary to bring an inno-
cent little eleven all the way from West
Virginia TO take pasting is not quite
clear. But n FASTING II certainly VIII
get. for Charley Daley has q whale OF a
squad this season. and 1t has advanced
far beyond the stage Mt which the ARMY
was ut this time in 1919. The Navy VIII
start against North Carolina state.
Penn May Get slam. y
Pennsylvania which had an easy time
against Delaware last week. will find
sterncr opposition to-day from Buck
NELL which has many veterans. Buck
nell was no SLOUGH of a team last sea-
son and may give the Heisman coached
squad bit OF jolt. Dartmouth. again
under "Cute" Spears, will play the boys
from Norwich up the hill Last fall
Norwich won lot OF money for some
