The football season of 1808 is ended, but many readers may be interested in taking a look at the prospects of the teams which Yale, Harvard and Prince- ton will put into the field next Fall. The entering Class of 1903 must, of course, be left out in the reckoning, but this will make comparatively little dif- ference, as the squad is not often aug- mented by Freshman members, the chief reliance being placed on the three upper classes. AT YALE. Five members of the Yale team will graduate next Spring, deSaulles, Cor- win, Eddy, Cutten, Marshall and Durs- ton. At the present time it is doubt- ful whether Chamberlin will return to College or not. Of the leading substi- tutes, Marvin, Gilmore, Dashiell and McConnell also graduate. Of these places, Cutten’s at center and Marshall at right-guard will be the most difficult to fill, particularly the former. If Cadwalader does not enter College in the Fall, as is now his inten- tion, the snap-back position is likely to give much trouble to fill. For quarter-back, Ely, Sullivan and Winter are the most promising men. Ely will probably return next year and will be eligible. Sullivan, who played in most of the games up to Nov. 12, and Win- ter are both good men. McBride at full-back will return to College next year and will fill that posi- tion in a competent manner. At half- back, while Yale will suffer serious loss, there will be good material from which to select men for these places. Dudley, Townshend, Wear and Burdick of this year’s squad will be candidates and Ward and Hall of the Freshman team are promising men. Coy and Hubbell, who were inexperienced ends this year, should develop into strong players for next year’s team. Schweppe, a substi- tute, and Abbott of the Freshman team will strengthen these positions. The tackle positions will be well taken care of by Stillman and Chamberlin, if the latter returns. Young will be a can- didate for the open guard and also some material from the Freshman team may be depended on for placing this position in the hands of a reliable man. FEW SERIOUS LOSSES AT HARVARD. At Harvard the season will be begun with a number of experienced players in the team and with her great array of good substitutes a strong Eleven will be produced despite the holes left by graduation. The Harvard Crimson says: Five members of the team will grad- uate next Spring, Donald Dibblee, Haughton, Jaffray and Cochrane. Of the leading substitutes, Farley, Mills and Richardson also graduate. The men on the team who remain in College and all eligible to play next year are Boal, Burden, Hallowell, Daley, War- ren and Reid. The positions which will be hardest to fill next year are Cochrane’s at left- end, and Dibblee’s at left-half-back. The greatest loss at first sight is Haughton. But Reid and Daly are both good punters and can undoubtedly be developed into first-class kickers. Flarvard’s successful policy of playing a kicking game need not therefore suf- fer in the least. A new left-end must be found. Campbell of the Freshman team, is promising material, and the incoming class must also be depended upon to help fill this positica. Left- half-back cannot be so splendidly filled as it was this year, but it can be well filled. Kendall 1902, Sawin and Gierasch are backs of great ability. Kendall is fast, quick and hurdles well, Sawin is a wonderful dodger, and Gier- asch is steady and keeps close to his in- terference. With men like these, it should not be difficult to find a good successor to Dibblee. Donald’s position should be very well filled by Eaton, whose agility, weight and power to advance the ball mark him as one of the most promising tackles of Center is a position which can easily be filled by a very good man. Burnett is a reliable goal kicker, and, as a center, is inferior to Jaffray in very few respects. C. S. Sargent and Greene of the Freshman team will also be can- didates for this place. From the above summary it is quite evident that Harvard will begin next season with more old players of exper- ience than she did this year and with much better material from which to fill the places left vacant by graduation of members of this season’s team. The abundance of strong substitutes was a feature of the past season, and this will be a great source of material next Fall. These conclusions are reached without considering to any great extent what the 1902 team may furnish, or what next year’s Freshman class may contribute to the University squad. PRINCETON WILL BE STRONG. Princeton loses fewer fnen than either Yale or Harvard and will be able to re- place her losses with fine substitutes. The Princetonian presents the situation as follows: Princeton will lose of this year’s team : Crowdis, left-guard; Marshall Geer, left-tackle; W. H. Black, left- half-back, and perhaps L. T. Palmer, left-end; of this year’s substitutes D. E. Filson, guard; J. L. Crane, end; F-. Rosengarten, quarter-back; L. Beam, tackle, and W. A. Fenstermacher, half- back. For the vacant positions in the line there are some first-class candi- dates. Mills for guard; Pell, 1902, for tackle, and H. Lathrope and Mont- gomery for end. Behind the line there will be only one position left vacant, while there is abundance of material from which to choose a back field. +4 SOCIETY ELECTIONS. Members of 1901S.
