Harvard Said ln tin in a :••r- fe4 tly Drinorall•ed .111111101i (roma, Ca .1141 ',hart. NTEREST in foot- ball has not been so great this season as it has beeasia past years, mainiX be- cause of intareol- legiate squabbling, but those who par- ticipate in the sport promise a grsater future for gridiron contests. Just be- . cause the ancient and natural rivals re- fuse to play, it is talc! that no one an tell whiah of ff N , Harvard, Pennsyl- vania or Pnce on is the strongest team.. On paper at the present time *ennsy - and Harvard are the most dangerous elevens. Yale Is always backward, and especially with a lot of green men, for her system of gradual development does not purpose to have the Machine working smoothly until the the middle of November. Princeton was weak last year, says \Referee - and outclassed by the \big three.\ The \tigers\ \tigers\ will be no stronger this au- tumn„ou present indications, and it is fortunate for I lie football credit of their HARRY CROSS. Institution that \Pennsy\ will not meet the orange and black. It will be almost Impossible to compare team play when the elevens get into born!, with Yale and Princeton leaving wedge and flying in- terference out of their strategy, and Harvard, Pennsyhania and Cornell handling their formations as formerly. Different standards must be set up to • further complicate matters. Yale has really a more hopeful look than seemed possible When only three old players came back. The line should be fairly strong with plenty of coaching. Harry Cross will not be a second Stillman this season. but he. picked up much knewledge last year as a \scrub\ cen- ter, and Stillman says he is rarely promising. Cross la. a better -Inuit and more active man than \Big tal,\ with almost as notch weight, and his ham- mer -throwing exercise has hardened him finely. For guards Chadwick is the leading feature on one side. With proper handling and training for his hot-headed and stubborn ways, this fel- low. the strongest man on the team, will be a very dangerous guard. San- ford, restored to membership in the law school, 18 playing again and will try for center, which place he tilled in 1ti91 for Yale: or he might be put in as guard instead of some of the big, raw eandidates for those places. • The Princeton line should turn ont as along as last year, but it is hard guess- ing on the finished product back of the rushers. Last season Princeton was beaten not so much because her players are inferior to their opponents as be- cause there was no head, no leader, and no confidence. and the team was no more together than a letneh of fire - sr. aa- l'T. L.E. crackers. - Doggie\ Trenchant was stamped a failure as a captain, after - Phil - King's fiery and magnetic lead- erahlp. but what Captain Lea will make out of his maternal ran hardly be told floe. lie has for his line Dudley Riggs, last year's center, and 'altar Rhodes. who will probably lye the guards: (la) ley . a promising center: Church and Les himself for tarkles, and Johnson are! Cochran far Pinta. For backs there are a dozen men and more of about the same caliber in the running, and it pay yonr money and take your choice from the rnric. There is not a star player In the PrIneeion hut with good management a fa .T.1 a -gao.1 alt round team can be turned out, whose work will depend considerably on the abiltty of their captaii. tititor, Brokaw, Smith and Tucker oight to furnish a reliable quarter -back attioni`aaaem, al- though Williams, of Pennsylvania, Rnowe more football than the lot of them with their talent in a joint pool. Rosengarten. Arinstrang and their com- rades at half occupy the same attitude toward \Brink\ Thorne, of Yale, or Del- bert, of Pennsylvania. and it cannot les denied that young Mr. Brooke, of the flaming thatch, who wears a red and blue sweater, can kick and run in a way to utterly confound Bannard and iitaird and Pope, the men who want to play full -bark for the orange and black. Man for man, it cannot be dodged that both Yale and Pennsylvania outclass Princeton at this stage of the game, and that Yale itnst concede something to the Quakers. Harvard will have a busy afternoon with these Quakers, or the crimson will not be overstrong in the line, and she will run against a good deal of a stone wall in the lads from the Schuylkill. Back of the hut' Harvard is well off. The worst blow is the loss of \Bob\ Wrenn, the brilliant quarter, as well as the ex -tennis champion and baseball player. Wrenn has positively declined to return, and the place will lie be- tween Beale, who plied the position poorly two years ago, and Hamlin and Borden, two pocket -edition hustlers, (Varied yet, but full of go. The list of backs is familiar to all followerl. of footbali and is really very strdng— \Charlie\ Brewer Wrightington, whom Hinkey apparently did not kill quite dead, Dunlap, Hayes, Gouterman and Fairchild. Hayes and Gonterman are an erratic! and unsteady pair, and, al- though sometimes brilliantly effective, will probably be counted out unless they steady down. Harvard has a cen- ter trio that can give pounds to Hickok. Stillman and MaCrea. But 220 pounds and six feet four inches of this Harvard bulwark, Knowles Jaffray, is so over- grown and soft that it will be thrown out. Holt, the other frekihman of the trio, weighs 2014, but he learned football, at Andover and can \tote\ his beef around in spry fashion. He is likely to shuffle Into Mackie'a shoes. Frank Shaw is In the center, and will give a good account -tor himself. Norton Shaw has been on crutches through most of the playing season thus far, which mis- fortune he owes to summer practice, which crippled also \Bob\ Emmons last year. If Guard Shaw is unable to get fit the right and left bowers will be problems hard to solve. The tackles may turn out fairly well, but not extra. with Hallowell on one side and a likely raft to choose from for the other, in- cluding Gould and Wheeler. Cabot and Arthur Brewer are all right on the ends. The Harvard center and tackles will his below ear. and of the four leaders Penn.
