What complicates Princeton's predicament is the fact that this year's Freshman eleven was of very poor calibre and consequently will furnish no good material for next year's first team. What Princeton lacks above all are power guards, for the graduation of Captain Hogg and Nourse will leave a great vacancy in the centre of the line. Funk may be moved from end to centre, filling the Gannert's old place, but none of the substitutes or Freshman guards are equally university material...

Although even odds give no feeling of comfort or security to either party, they unquestionably furnish a stimulating excitement to the nervous system...

In addition to this, a second University team will be formed, also with a regular schedule. The practice of the team is commencing nearly a month earlier than usual this year to enable the coach to give more attention to individual coaching...
