It looks as if the guards and
tackles would be fairly we'll taken
care of. Here we have Capt
Whyte, Barfield, Bill Moore, Mes
tres and Hockenberry, all veterans.
Graduation also hit Yale pretty nara.
particularly in the backf1eld. MOST Oh
the veteran backs have gone-Garvey'
Hoban, Decker and Loud. was m
pressed last season with the playing Oh
Booth, captain and quarter of the yale
freshmen. He has poise. and is fine
broken-field runner. He should De
heard from. Eddy, last years captain,
will be missed. I liked the play OF
y Firpo Green, captain OF this years
team, at guard last season, very mucEl
indeed. He was one of the best line
men in the East last Fall. and should
be Q tower Of strength this year.
Walsh Successful.
Adam Walsh, captain of the famous
1924 Notre Dame team, has charge Of
the line at New Haven this year. Walsh
has been coaching at st. Mary's College
in California since his graduation, ana
has had remarkable success. AS a
player he stood out as one of the best
centers in the game. I know he Will do
well at Yale.
Harvard has lost Capt. French and
Guarnaccia, very good backs. This
pair did more with the lateral pass than
any other backs in the East. Harvard
still has wealth of backfield material,
including Puturem, Wetmore, Gilligan
and Harper. The freshman team at
Cambridge was particularly strong last
Fall. So, all and all, prospects for a
good eleven are above average at Har-
ward.
The Army has eagle back. This
means strong backfield. Prospects
for the Navy are bright. Bill ingram
is back as head coach. He and his
brother, Comdr. Ingram. director of
athletics, are a hard pair to beat. They
have lots of enthusiasm and know foot
ball.
look for Brown to have a powerful
team "Tuss" McLaughry is an excep-
tional coach. Last Fall he developed a
lot Of material. Brown had three COM
plete teams, one almost as good as the
other. The line material is above aver
age. Edwards and Fogarty. backs from
last year, will be heard from.
Dartmouth loses Jess Hawley, but Jack
CARMEL knows Hawley's system thor
oughly and should do well. The line Is
almost intact, and Marsters is a great
running back. I understand he will be
shifted to quarter. 49,.
New York u. Hard Hit.
N. Y. U. faces heavy schedule. The
losses by graduation were heavy. Capt.
Alfred Lassman, who played a great
game at tackle, and Ken Strong, all
American triple threat back, are partic-
ularly hard to replace. But Meehan is
a fine coach. and I have no doubt he
will develop another strong team.
Carnegie Tech will miss Howard
Harpster and other fine backs, including
Moorehead and Stauffer. Penn is badly
hit in the backf1eld by the graduation Of
Scull and Shober. Bert Bell, who has
had charge of the Quaker backfleld
number of years, did not return to
coach this Fall. His place is taken by
AL KreuZ.
Prospects at Columbia are better than
last year. Syracuse has good outlook.
DR.. Sutherland should have another
strong team at Pittsburgh. Dimeslo,
captain and guard, is particularly good.
Pitt is eager to wipe out the Carnegie
Tech defeat of last year.
From all accounts prospects at Cor
nell are none too bright, but Dobie is
never overenthusiastic. Penn State is
on the up grade. Lou Little should
have another strong team at George
town.
Temple, whose rapid rise in foot ball
l1dS OCCh 1cIIldI hdDlCB ~ dCOACC
at Atlantic City September 4. Heine
Miller has much good material. The
Temple Villanova game should be worth
going long way to see.
Lafayette doesn't look as strong as
usual. Lehigh has better prospects than
last year. Charley Caldwell should de-
velop another good team at Williams.
From all accounts Amherst will be I'M
usually good. hear Grosskloss is
fine back.
hear Swarthmore will have strong
line. Suavely starts his second season
al Bucknell with good prospects. So,
all in all, it should be a big year for
foot ball in the East, with plenty Of
surprises before the season is many
weeks old.
