...backfield as quarterbacks Yale will have two "Y" men eligible, Wheeler and Cornell. All three regular halfbacks, Spaiding, Flynu, and Philbin will be unable to play again and an entirely new combination will have to be formed. Pumpelly, who was Yale's most effective ground-gainer in the Harvard game, will undoubtedly be one of the halfbacks. Markle and Loftus, both "Y" men, are strong candidates for the other back field position. The Yale team is fortunate in having a wealth of experienced substitutes who are capable of filling in the vacancies. The line promises to be strong, but real...
...guard; Penfield, tackle; and Wight, end. DeWitt, too, will be unable to play again, being disqualified under the three-year rule. However, Coach Fitzpatrick has expressed his opinion that prospects are brighter this year than last. Eight letter men will return, two in the line and six in the backfield. Of the line-men returning are Shenk and Phillips, who distinguished themselves last year; E. Trenkman, Ballin, W. Swart, Longstreth, and I. Swart, who will be the logical candidate for centre. Princeton also has a number of men of varsity, Calibre who were ineligible last year, namely Hammond, Boland, Larson...

Felton was given the other end position by four of the seven papers. For the tackle positions Storer is the leading candidate, all but two of the papers favoring him. Pennock, of Harvard, and Brown, of Annapolis, are both chosen...
...veteran teams played have afforded the team excellent practice and have served to bring out the possibilities of the material. The backfield is good, Captain Barron and Rushmore, Francke and Weston, being men of ability and experience. In the forward line, Needham is a fast man at right wing and T. Hardwick, S. Hopkins, and D. Steele are all fairly sure of positions. A number of men from last year's Freshman team have also been playing well up to the University standard. Nichols at goal has played consistently all fall and will probably defend the goal next spring...
