Neville and Casey share the honors at halfback on the second team with Doane of Tufts at fullback and Cannell of Dartmouth at quarter. Coolidge and Moseley, of Yale, fill the wing positions, and the line is made up of McLean, of Princeton, and Gates, of Yale, at tackles; Captain Hogg, of Princeton, and Henning of Pennsylvania, at guards, and McEwan, of the Army, at centre. The line-up of the first eleven follows: Miller, l.e. Pennsylvania Wheeler, l.t. Harvard Black, l.g. Yale Gennert, c. Princeton Bachman, r.g. Notre Dame West, r.t. Colgate Highley, r.e.

No more will he have to perform superhuman feats of line-plunging, of long distance running, of athletic leaping over intervening horses, wagons, and automobiles, only to arrive as the last car of his train rolls majestically from the South Station. The great work is complete at last; science is vindicated. The oldest Senior who said gloomily that it would never be finished is a prophet without...

The games were postponed from yesterday but with the additional material which reported yesterday, each class should have a representative team when the elevens line up at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
