BROWN '98 HAS DISMAL OUTLOOK

In the current issue of the Yale News appears the following view of the general football situation by R. W. P. Brown '98, assistant coach of the University eleven:

"Yale bids fair to have the most powerful team she has had in years, with a line averaging 194 pounds. At Princeton only four regulars are missing from the eleven this season, and their places can be easily filled from the Freshman and scrub teams, while at Cornell one more first-string man has been lost, but with Cornell's big squad of physiques it should be as easy for Cornell to make up vacancies in two teams as the other colleges in one. From this distance it looks as if Harvard could not best Cornell with her material, but might with her coaching system. Princeton ought to win from Harvard on the strength of her experienced men, and Yale defeat Harvard through the exceptional individuals she has to mould into a team. Yale may be handicapped a bit through the change in her systems. As the season progresses the situation often changes through injuries or for other reaons, 'and a fortnight hence the Harvard position may or may not improve."
