be freshmen instructor in english during mr frye's absence was valedictorian of the class of 92 at wesleyan and comes here highly recommended especially by pro fessor winchester the well known english scholar the football outlook the question which most natur ally arises to the minds of college men at this time is " what are the prospects for a good football team this fall of last year's team five will not be back namely wooden mc clung ordway roderick and floyd this leaves one vacancy on the line and four back of it captain trafton . therefore starts with a good nucleus of old men from which to form a team keys 96 last year's centre will play in the same position this year and should prove oue of the best of the year trafton 96 will be found at his old position — right guard and his playing there needs no comment budd 95 will play right tackle and is a good conscientious player though a trifle slow left tackle will be filled by houston 95 if he returns and his playing also needs no comment okeson 95 and best 95 the two ends will both be back and should have improved greatly by their experience of last year among the most promising can didates fer the line are dick 95 bowie 9s and beccara 98 all three had some experience on the scrub last year and should make the men hustle for whose places they are trying back of the line the most prom ising candidates for quarter back are philips 95 saltzman 96 e thurston 96 and wallace 97 of these saltzman 96 has had the most experience though the others have all played on the scrub for half backs the most promis ing candidates are j thurston 96 gunsolus 97 and harrison 98 of these thurston has had the most experience though the others have both shown themselves to be good men for full back the most promising candidates are dornin 96 senior 97 and gass 98 of these dor nin and senior have both played on the scrub while gass comes from pennington where he played full back on the school team altogether the outlook thus early in the season is fair and the new class may be expected to fur nish several men to the varsity team and to the scrub captain trafton expects to begin practice immediately and to organize the training table early in the season the scrub will be managed and captained by able men and will have a schedule of its own new chaplain rev dr toliafero f caskey rector of the american church in dresden
