The four men lost to Warner by graduation nro linemen nnd stars of tho first water, but with tho wonderful 1-ecervo strength of 1D1R on hand ho should havo llttlo trouble developing n powerful net of forward, Captain 1'eck, Horron, Thornhlll nnd Hoppltt nro tho men Warner will lone. Jt will bo dllllcult to replace tho wonderful Pock nt center nnd tho brilliant Kerron, who nre of All-American callbor, but Wnriicr has not been nnpplng. Tho greatest part of tho prnctlco lalo In tho Benson was devoted to tho development of substitutes to ml tha four vacant posts, nnd .Warner gavo a great deal of tlmo to tho freshman team. Warner Has Splendid Reserve Material T)ITT will havo ono advantage noxt fall that It did not havo this year.

Just whcio tho back will bo placed Is not known, as It will bo almost Impossible to oust aicrarcn, Hastings, DoIIart nnd Msndown from tho first string.

Red and Blue Backfleld Intact TjlOUrt regulars and flvo second string men will bo lost to Penn by graduation. Ono of tlio four regulars, Lud Way, la likely to return to college, despite reports to tho contrary, which will leave only three lino positions for Tolwell to nit Tho loss of Mathews, Honiilng nnd Urquhiirt will mako It necessary to build an entirely now left nldo of tho line, but Tolwell has been preparing for this, and already has an Idea of his line-up for next fall, Tho bnclcfleld will bo Intact and will bo strengthened by tho addition of Ebio, of the scrubs, nnd Wheeler, who joined tho team too lato to be at any vuluo this lesson. Cblo was tho most finished football player on rrnnklln Klold last fall, and If ho had been ollglblo would havo had llttlo troublo earning 11 regular position. Wheoler Is destined ti bo nnother Stevenson, according to tho opinions of shrewd football mon. Thla Will mean that I'enn will havo 11 backfleld second to none, while tho line, with Crane, Young, Berg, TIUol, Mnynnrd, tho .freshman star, nnd Bovera'l others will bo just as atrong as the powerful 1016 forwaid lino. Colgate Loses Onlu Two Men "lOLOATn, conquerors of Brown In tho most aurprltlng gamo of- tho 1916 '-' season, will loso only two men. Tho two men lost, howovcr, nro tho roal backbono of tho Hamilton .elovon. Thoy oro Andeison, tho wonderful quarter back, who Is reputed td bo tho best combination man In tho Hast, nnd West, gen erally picked as tho best tackle In tho land. Colgate's orfonHo was built nbout Anderson, nnd tho llttlo quarterback did everything that was asked, ot him. Ho could punt, dropklck, run tho onds, forwaid pans, had a wonderful head and was biff wnough to buck tho lino If necessary. Altogether hoana a wonderful combination man, nnd his loss will affect Colgate In 1017 as wIllNho absonco of West, who was tho beat tacklo turned out by the New York Htato oloven In years; but tho presence of nlno other regulars and a hoit of second strlm men makes It certain that Bankhart (If ho returns to Colgate) will havo u team oven mora powerful than tho great eleven of tho lost season. A Wealth of Material at Tufts THE5 real surprlso of the 191B season was Tufts, and unless unforeseen circum stances deprlvo the llttlo New England Institution of star players who nro listed to return next fall, Whalen'a cloven Is duo for nnother wonderful season. Only two m'en aro lost from tho team tbtit defeated Harvard and went through on unusual schedule, with only eighteen players In tho vnrslty squad. Tho men lost nre Captain Westcott, n marvelous back, who was burled on 11 small team for years, and Hulllvnn, a quarterback, who. has prmed himself a better genoral than any pilot In tho East. Westcotl'sloss will be the greatest blow, an ho Is recognized by opposing teams ui onu of tho best all round backs In recent years. Tufts counts Upon tta Incoming material nnd tho remarkable work of "Dinger" Doano to Pull it through next fall. Hill Hollenback.'former Tenn star, now coach t Syracuse, declares that Doane Is the greatest line plunger ho evor has seen, not excluding Ted Coy and Jim Cormlck. Therefore It Is easy to see that teams playing Tufts will have u most interesting afternoon, Ella Also Arc Fortunate WITH only threo regulars departing from tho Vnlo eleven v!at came with a rush late In tho season. "Tnd" Jonca should have llttlo troublo building nn other powerful team. The Ells' will lose only throo men nnd hao the best nee ond string squad In the Kast, barring possibly Penn. Harry I-cgore, a wonder- Ifut combination man and a brilliant all round performers atoseky, considered an All-American prospect, nnd Larry Fox, the giant I'hlladclphlnn, who starred In the Princeton and Harvard gumes, are the plnyora Jonca loses, and he has a wealth of excellent material at hand, Kcmpton, tho freshman captain and quarterback, Is hailed as the greatest all round back Yale 1ms had In ten years, and he. Is1 slated to till Legore's place. With throe other freshman stars and' the second string nnd scrub men from this season Jones should be ablo tn turn out a team superior; to the 1PIG aggregation In every way. The 1017 team will 4 have more confidence than the team that pulled the unexpected surprise by Seating Harvard and Princeton, and also will have the advantage of a full season -unde,r the Jonea system. Nine Regulars Back at Brown IAST but' by no means the least. Drown must bo considered. Sprague, a a center, whose defensive nullity was overlooked In the showering of praise Von the marvelous Pollard.'ond Word, a veteran und powerful tachle, are the only regulars the prynonauis lose, and Coach Robinson, has unusual second Utrtne material Ortnsby and Sturphy, two valuable backs, are scheduled to graduate, but as each entered Drown when the freshman rule was in force thov are entitled to another sear of varsity football, apd have signified their Intention urtiwUiig Pt graduate courses.

Davis was fin err as tho manager ot a team which played in various Eastern cities, but the fines at the remainder of the team were suspended because It was brought out in the testimony that Davis had assured his team males that he had the word of President Johnson, ot the American League, that there would be no official objection to the team playing The commission states that President Johnson simply advised Davis to take up the matter with the chairman of the com mission, which, according to the chairman, lis failed to do. The chairman, August Herrmann, states that had Davis taken tna matter up with him a refusal to play would have been the only possible ruling.

RICIIJER On Tuesday the National league will hold Its forty-first annual meeting and un less nil signs fall It will bo the forty-llr.it annual quarrel. Kor some reason or other tha National League magnates do not seem to agree and year after year a stormy session results, nnd the wonder of It la that thti owners stick together so closely when other 'factions step Into tlui argument. If we nre to believe a few of the mag nates It will be a harmonious meeting, but there are others who predict trouble, and who nro going to New York Intent upon stirring It up Ono of the belligerents Is Harney Drcyfuss, owner of the Pirates, who Insists that Carry Herrmann is not worthy of the position of chairman of the National Commission, nnd ho Insists that he 'will carry enough otes to assuro tho ousting of tha Clnclnmitl magnate as the head of oaseuaus supreme court. Una Support Dieyfuss claims the support of two or three magnates, whoso iccent remarks would lead one to bellove that they nre In favor of the" National Commission ns now constituted. So matter what the result of the National League's vote on this subject may happen to be, thero Is certain to be trouble, as It Is generally understood that the American I.iugiio will not stand for two National Leaguers on the commission, While the main lliiht Ih the senior leactm will bo on the Instruction of Its delegate to the reorganisation of the National Com mission,, thero aro many other subjects which a ro going to cause the owners more worry than they have any Idea of, It Is believed that tha new form ot con tract, adopted by the National Commission at Its recent meeting In Chicago, will be accepted by the National League and that the club owners will order tho distribution of contracts. This will be hitch No. 1 In the "harmonious" session. The Ilaseball I'laers' fraternity Is determined to fight nny move on tha part of magnates to squelch them, and there are certain things uuuui mo new contracts mat are not suit ablo to them, and President Kultz can be depended upon to mako a strenuous fight. Ono National League magnato predicts tho sale of two franchises at the coming meeting, which probably win mean tha ousting1 of two managers, while another pilot Is slated to go. It Is generally be lieved that the 8t Louis Cardinals are for nalo nnd tha other club probably lit the Iloston U raves. President Dbbets, of the Dodgers, recently announced that hla Vn. tlonal League champions were for sale, but as he does not want more than a million and a half, tho Dodgers cannot be Included In tha list of salable clubs. Usual Trades s There will be the usual trades and It would not be surprising If Manager Moran, of the Phils, pulled one or two deals, counted upon to strengthen the local team. Moran has two or three men he would like to trade to other teams, according to Dame Humor, and unless tha dope goes wrong there will be several clubs anxious to bid for the platers. Moran has proved himself a David Harum In other deals with National League plIoU,nnd the fans can rest as sured that he will get at least an even break, Just who the players that are on the market haonen to be is a mvitrv Moran refuses to divulge their names, fear ing uiai a aup-up on any ueai would affect the harmony In the ranks.

These first year men who will be given a thorough try out on the Ited and Illue varsity team are Johnny Lavan and Emery. Lavan comes from HI. Joe's and was formerly one of the stars of that five. Jourdet hAs been giving all of his ma terial long Iryouts trying to select the fast est nnd best players from the great mass of candidates and believes he has succeeded In getting together nnother winning combi nation Lost yenr, with material which looked extremely poor on paper, largely due to the lack ot weight,. Jourdet developed one of tha best teams that ever represented l'cnn, With these men ho won tho Intercol legiate championship.

Against this array of unknown talent Jourdt will line his team up with Connolly and Lavan nt tho forward position, JefCord Jumping center and Captain Eddie McNIch oil und Kmery nt guard. Tho Penn substi tutes will include Clark, Ivory, Williams and Itoblnsoti, It Is expected by the members of the Penn team nnd Coach Jourdet that Urslnus will bo rather easy picking for tho Jted and Ulue. If such proves to be tho caso It Is likely that all of tho substitutes will be given n chance to play a few minutes In the game, Just to show what they can do under foreign fire. Tho "Varsity game Is not scheduled to begin until after tho freshman five has fin ished with Williamson Trndo School. Thla preliminary event Is scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock, Tho Penn freshmen this year have a very font team, and they know a lot of basketball, because they have been taught tho game by Lou Sugarman, the fast iiuio lorwnra or mo urcystocic LrfiBtern League club. The freshmen team that will start tho gams Is composed ot Stannard, Sweeney, Davis, lledett ond Mlchell.
