Princeton's prospects for a successful team in 1917 are anything but encouraging, for with but five letter men returning from this year's defeated team, Coach Rush has a very small nucleus from which to build a more successful eleven. Two of these five, Wilson and McGraw, were regulars, playing at right end and tackle throughout the greater part of the season. The other three, Funk, Halsey and Winn were substitutes but will be regulars next fall...
...practice at Princeton in September so Coach Rush took his men to Lake Minnewaska, N. Y., where he started their training in preparation for the first game of the season, with Holy Cross, on September 30. A large number of veterans reported to Rush and he had a good nucleus from last year's team from which to build a winning eleven. Driggs, Tibbott and Eddy were backfield veterans and Captain Hogg, with McLean and Gennert, formed a strong basis for a powerful line...
...been elected captain of the brown swimming team for this season. Practice is now being held twice a week under the direction of N. V. S. Mumford, captain in 1910 who will continue the coaching until after the football season, when Coach Huggins will again take charge. With a nucleus of seven of last year's team and many promising swimmers among the freshmen, the prospects are much brighter than in several years...
...They are W. B. Snow '18, captain and most promising man in the heavyweight class; S. Davidson '17, the champion of the University in the 125-pound class, and R. B. Miller '18, who last year represented the team in the 135-pound class. These men form a strong nucleus around which to build a team, and with the football men that are expected to report, there should be no trouble turning out a strong team. S. Burnham '19, captain of last year's Freshman team, will be among those available after the football season is over...
Seven veterans from last year's championship team will serve as a strong nucleus about which another strong team should develop. These men are Mueller, Shiverick, Eckley, Miller, Anderson, Tilley, and Gillies. The loss of Collins by graduation leaves Shiverick as the only veteran half-back, but Benedict, Hoffman, Van Horn and Carr form a good squad of players from which an excellent back-field should be made up. Mueller will undoubtedly remain in his old position of fullback. With the loss of Barrett, comes a large gap to be filled in the form of a quarterback. Shock, last year...
