William Clarence Matthews '05, of Montgomery, Alabama, substitute fielder, prepared at Andover, where he played on the baseball nine for four years, captaining it one year. Last fall he was substitute quarter-back and substitute end on the University eleven. He is 24 years old, weighs 130 pounds, and is 5 feet 8 inches in height...

...this year's football team Yale loses next year by graduation F. G. Brown, Jr., '01, left guard and captain; S. L. Coy '01, right end; W. M. Fincke '01S, quarter-back; H. P. Olcott '01, centre; J.

A tendency of the backs to go too far out on end plays and to break apart on centre plays is the most conspicuous fault. For full-back the candidates now are Skilton and Myers with the chances slightly in Skilton's favor. Philips, who at first was effective in this position, has lately taken a slump. At left half back Pruyn is a strong man with Parker as a substitute. The candidates for right half back are Lindsay and Mackay. At quarter...
