The Army-Navy climax game will be

Stanford in New York, while the Navy
and Princeton meet in Philadelphia
This is the first time an eleven from
the Pacific Coast has come East, anc
the Stanford-Army game will give a
pretty definite line On how much If g

Yale has lost Tad" Jones, much to
every ones regret. Jones was great

the game. Jones was a great coach and

Bruce Caldwell. who unfortunately
was kept out of the Harvard and
Princeton games, has been graduated
Capt Webster, who played great
game at guard for Yale. and Scott and
Fishwick, two high-grade ends, also
have been graduated.
AS a nucleus, Coach Stevens has Ed

worth, a veteran center-two outstand-
ing lineSmen last year-and Decker and
Carney in the backfield. AS see it.
the greatest problem facing the Yale
coaches is to develop two f1rSt-clasS
ends
Pitt Loses WEIGH.
DR.. Sutherland makes practice of
turning out strong teams at Pitt. This
year should be no exception. even though
Pittsburgh opens the season minus Glib
by WEIGH, its outstanding player. Aleck
Fox. captain and guard. is a stellar
lineman. Parkinson, fullback, and Ed
wards quarterback, are veterans. While
last years Pitt team had lot of seniors
the Freshman team was unusually
strong. Hood, from Bellefonte Academy,
will bear watching.
On paper Harvard seems to have
better material than for several years.
For the last two seasons Eddie Casey
has been turning out high-grade Fresh
man teams, having lost only one game
In two years. This material, seasoned
by year or two of varsity experience,
should make itself felt this year.
Capt. French at halfback is a fine
player. He is supported by Guarnaccia,
Harper. Porter, Gilligan, last years
Freshman quarterback from Exeter, and
Batcheler, halfback on last years year.

Academy. I understand that Putnam,
quarterback of two years ago, is eligible
this Fall. In the line, Bell, last years
center possibly may return. The line
material doesn't look quite as seasoned
as that in the backfie4d but there Is
enough to make a flrst-class aggressive
line.
Dartmouth Has Marsters.
Dartmouth has a great player in
Marsters. Coach Hawley has lost Nc
Phail and Lane, two backfield stars.
Capt. Black. fullback, has been
handicapped in the past by bad knee.
With that all right he should play a
great game.
Tuss McLaughry with Lawson, the
old Williams hear coach, who has
charge of the line, starts his third
season at Brown. OF the veteran Iron
men" of two years ago, Cornsweet. cap
tain and fullback; Kavorkin, guard,
and Faber. tackle. are left. McLaughry
tells me he has lot of willing sopho-

Last Fall, of the smaller New Eng
land colleges, Tufts had a remarkable
record. 1t was the only team in the
country, so far as the records show
to play through the season undefeated
or united. Coach Sampson has lost
the bulk Of his line, but retains Ellis,
an outstanding quarterback, and one
or two other good backs.
Last year Wesleyan won the little

The Army also has wealth of vet

but there are lot of other good back
