THE HABIT OF SAVING. -

free-handed. He has liberal views of life—good, broad, free ideas
of hospitality and self-development that do credit to his heart and

neys from sugar mills. And at the
back are beautifully shaped and colored
mountains like those of Cuba. This
morning the Lampasas came alongside
and took off the sick soldiers and all
the army supplies and luggage. It
includes all the personal effects of Gen-
eral . Duffield and his staff. These
officers are in Cuba and their clothes in
Porto Rico. The Lampasas had on
board some very nice looking young
women who had volunteered to serve
their country as nurses. I am afraid
they will have a hard job. The -Lam-
pasas had no medical supplies, as I am
informed, by the Japanese medical
attache. So we gave the army half the
ship’s medical stores and the purser of
the American Line, now the ship’s
paymaster, lent General Miles some
money. He had no army~ chest with
him. In coming here he certainly
changed his plans. When we left
Guantanamo the understanding was that
we were to land the troops on the
north-eastern corner of the island.
A hundred miles off Sandy Hook,
July 31st.—At last we are going home.
After landing the troops and transfer-
ring the many sick to the transport five
day ago, we started. The voyage has
been uneventful. We look forward: to
getting the papers with great eagerness.
The front is no place for news. I hope
we are to go out of the transport busi-
ness and join the squadron to Spain
and the Canaries.
For two weeks the Yale was anchored
off Tompkinsonville, then she made a
third and last voyage lto Cuban waters,
taking a regiment of immunes to Santi-
ago and bringing back a load of sick
soldiers. On the 31st of August her
officers were ordered to other ships, the
crew was paid off, and the ship was re-
turned to the American Line. She cost
the Government nearly $2,500 a day be-
sides the expenses of running her and
paying her officers and crew.

is ended—for the present.

PRINCETON’S ELEVEN.
Good Material From the Freshman
Class Expected—The Practice.
[Correspondence of Yau ALUMNI WEEKELY.]
Princeton, N. J., Sept. 27.—On ac-
count of the resolutions passed by the
Faculty of Princeton, forbidding early
football practice, none of the men were
required to report until the opening day
of College, Wednesday, Sept. 21. The
squad that then gathered showed that
four of last year’s men who were ex-
pected to be with the team this year
were not present, making four very
hard positions to fill.
A. D. Kelly, who was the captain-
elect for this Fall and who has played
behind the line for three years, will not
\
be on the ‘team this year. Wheeler, at
half-back, is suffering from partial
paralysis and is disabled for active
work at present. Holt, last year’s left-
tackle, has decided not to return to
College. The only available man at
present for this position is Geer, ’99.
H. Lathrope, who was counted upon
as an end for this year, is at Mon-
tauk Point in the Volunteer army, and
will not. be mustered out in time for the
football season.
The old men who have returned are
Booth, center; Edwards, right-guard;
Crowdis, left-guard; Hillebrand, Cap-
tain and right-tackle;
Reiter, left-half; and Burke, substitute
quarter-back. '
So far the practice has been very
light. It opens at present with sending
the men down the field on kicks, in two
alternate squads. Then an eleven is
picked from the candidates present, and
it is put through the rudiments of the
game. This line of practice will be con-
tinued until the men get some knowl-
edge of straight football.
EXPECTED MATERIAL.
Much good material is expected from
the entering class, which is the largest
that has ever entered Princeton, num-
bering over four hundred men. Among
the players coming who were promi-
nent at their respective prepara-
tory schools are Chapman, from An-
dover, who did good work back of the
line last Fall; Thomson and Hutchin-
son from Mercersburg Academy; Mills,
Hill School’s big tackle of last year;
McCord, captain and guard, from
Lawrenceville; Kinney, from St. Paul’s,
Garden City, and Sultzer, who played
half on the Pingry School team. :
The Freshmen who are doing especi-
ally promising work are Hutchinson
and Roper. Hutchinson is being tried
at quarter and by his smart game is
removing some of the anxiety concern-
ing that position. Roper is also doing
promising work and may prove a valu-
able man. Poe, president of the Fresh-
man Class, and one of the family famous
for their football prowess, is also a can-
didate for the position at quarter.
Captain Hillebrand has taken every
measure to insure the strongest possi-
ble training contingent. Among those
who will come to Princeton to coach
and advise the team are Howard Bro-
kaw, of the ’96 team; Balliet and
Wheeler, of the championship team of
93; John Poe, who will give his atten-
tion te the backs, and Tyler. Alexander
Moffat will return to his work of teach-
ing the full-backs punting and drop-
kicking and Fine will study out some
new plays to be introduced this Fall.
Walter Christie, the present trainer of
the football team, is expected to develop
the material to the utmost. Christie
won his position as trainer of the foot-
ball team by the competence he showed
in training the track men.
_ At present the football situation here
is a dubious one and will prevent the
over-confidence which affected the team
so much last year, from getting a hold.
