What's all this I hear about Arm

day, taking command of Furr's
activities at the MeadoWbrook Sad
die Club. Il hope Armstrong thinks
he will because he may get a little
surprise if he's too confident. You
can't play around with Phil as if
he were Christmas toy. He's dan
gerous because he's got that right

opinion that Henry can win when

Armstrong was to begin tapering

He finished his heavy work yester-

He's ready to go u or 20 rounds

mo one can say whether Bob
Feller and the Cleveland infield will
be more dangerous than the bats of
Greenberg, McCosky and York, plus
the pitching of Newsom. Bridges and
Rowe. Don't forget Buck Newsom
has been as good this season as
Derringer or Walters-and Buck is
no puff ball in tough spot. We feel
that Cleveland and Detroit are about
the same.
We know what Feller means in
any short series where they can use
him at least three times if the series
goes to seven games But we also
know that such pitchers as Derringer
and Walters can hold their own with
anybody, even a Feller. At least
there1l be no four-game mop-up this

Rose was injured playing polo last

If this promise is realized, the Tigers,
as the season wears on, may present
a deeper front than in the October
games.
The presence Of Allerdice, hard
at work, disposes of rumor that
he had failed in scholarship. Mean

his forward passing thus early give
the impression that he will rate
among the great passers of 1910.

Why give all the credit to certain

timer writes.
What about Mississippi State. one
of the best teams IN the country?
What about Duquesne and George
town, both strong? What about
Auburn? And you can watch Ray
Morrison at Temple this fall
These are missiles that are hard
to dodge. Both Georgetown and
Duquesne have been on high upper
level for the last two years. They
will be hard to roll back this season.
I happen to know that Mississippi
State will be something to beat all

Any coach from the deep South
will tell you that.
The trouble is that with over 100
high-class college teams, possibly 200
such teams, there isn't time enough
or space enough to cover the long

NEW HAVEN, Sept. 20.-On the
say so of the varsity players, who
should know, the Yale football team
is in for its best season in years" "
Capt. Hal Whiteman, hard-hitting
blocker, and Ray Anderson, q mighty
smart quarterback, even go so far
as to predict an undefeated cam
paign. Head Coach Ducky Pond
likes to hear such talk and. natu-
rally, hopes they're right, but he isn't
quite so enthusiastic.
Yet, a neutral visitor, watching
the big, blue squad 60 through a
grueling workout. can't help but be
impressed with the potential power
and exubrance on display. ESpe-
cially is this true when one after
another of the varsity gridderS
being groomed to start against Vir-
ginia here October 5 expresses only
the utmost confidence in discussing
the Ellis prospects.
All Players Enthusiastic.
For example, take the team that
Pond says looms as his starter
Capt. Whiteman from Nashville.
Anderson, Hovey Seymour and Ted
Harrison in the backfleld: Alan Bar
tholemy of Portland, Greg, and Jack
Thompson from Minneapolis, the
ends: Bob Brooke of Milwaukee and
Frank Kemp of Denver at tackle;
Cape Burnham of Richmond, KY,
and Jim Dern Of Fort Wayne, Ind,
at guard and Ted Turner at center.
What do they think?
We're going to win all eight
games agree Whiteman and An
derson. why shouldn't we? The
spirit is great. the team looks we'll
balanced and experienced as a
group"
The four other lettermen on the
team-Bartholemy, Brooke, Burn
ham and Dern-don't go quite so
far, but they feel mighty high on
the prospects, too. Cornell, Penn
and Princeton look mighty tough,
but we'll be in there fighting every
second against them" they tell you.
Harrison, ace baseball pitcher and
Southpaw passer; Thompson, who
like Anderson, was ineligible last
season; Kemp and Turner are sure
it's going to be "a great year for
old Eli" And Seymour, last seasons
star, can't see how we're going to
miss top ranking"
Reserves Above Average.
Reserves-good ones that is-al-
ways have been bugaboo at Yale,
and this season is hardly an excep-
ton. But there are quite a few above
average, like Jim Potts, the sopho-
more blocking back: Spencer Nose
ley, last years freshman center:
Howie Kaye, kicking specialist, and
several good solid linemen.
We're better balanced than last
year" he points out. And we GER
tainly should improve on last years
record yale won three and tied one
in seven starts. Much will depend
on whether the squad, which was
coming along fast near the end of
last season, will pick up from that
point. But, with all this on the
credit side, how can anybody be
optimistic with the schedule We have
to play?"
After Virginia on October S. the
Ellis run into Penn. Dartmouth and
Navy in order. Then comes Brown,
followed by Cornell, Princeton and
