th the closing of the college baseball and rowing seasons there was an undercurrent of decided inquiry as to tu what is going to happen lappen next fall on the tho football gridiron grid ron Spring practice had bad been indulged indulged in in- in in at most of the tile uni universities and every possible means has bas been adopted of getting ing out the tho m material and preparing it for next falls fall's strenuous campaign t Tho The practice at all tho the colleges has bas been far more systematic and the number of candidates greater than in any previous year In fact as indi- indi I by the tho erection of tho the enormous bowls and stadiums the th interest in inthis inthis this his particular sport has increased with such rapidity that it makes even j college authorities uneasy as to the tIle future handling of those who wish to toco toco 1 tc co th the i This Tho bowl howl of all wan waD that erected by Yale last Jas fall seating seating- people and antS at the tha time of ot applications for or the tho game although there was no no public naJ sale of seats ed whatever over applications were wore turned down lown In n other words word for the Harvard Yale contest of last lut year with sales limited d entirely to college colleen ranks l. l It would have required a seating capacity of or not let lens han th to lC accommodate the ap ap- ap p 1 can ts te The gen general

ot the preliminary season earlier than ever 1 before Haughton at Harvard developed level devel the best team of 1014 UH but h ho he t re realizes ro- ro fully as does doe Captain Mahan that Yale with th the linemen that como come over from last years year's freshman team will be an exceedingly dangerous 0 ag ag- ag g- g In fact Captain Wilson and Coach Hinkey at New Haven start out nut with better material for forwards than has been seen on any gridiron for tor t. t on tar r r. r I men realize that they JL I have h lost too many times to Yale Talo and have havo Inaugurated a new system under Coach Hush and If one may judge from their preliminary work this spring it Is 18 going to be a a. desperate desper deeper ate struggle for positions position and one that thatis IB is to b hA bli carried through the season on the tho principle that only the best shall survive and the team that meets Yale will be the tho pick of tho the Orange and Black student bod body The Navy 30 feels In a a. similar Va way regarding re re- garding the Army Arm and Captain Ca Miles is planning a a. campaign which has has' one great advantage In that very few of the best men are aro lost los by
