Following is the outlook for the University football, track, and baseball teams, and for the University crew next year, based on the showing of the past season:

The Football Team.

The prospects for a successful football team are bright, not only from the fact that there will be a number of "H" men available, but also because Coach Haughton has consented to coach the team again. The new rules have not as yet been given a trial, and it is very difficult to make any prediction for that reason. However, it will be of immense advantage to have as coach one who is helping to form the rules and who is studying the methods of the new game. Coach Haughton will serve not only this fall but also the two following seasons.

Of the twenty-two men who have won their football "H," eight will not return to College. H. Fish '10, G. G. Browne '10, F. deH. Houston '10, H. B. Sprague '11, G. S. West '10, P. Withington '10, E. V. Long '10, and S. Galatti '10 will graduate; yet only four of these men played last fall against Yale. Fish will be the greatest loss to the team, as he was one of the best tackles of the past few years. P. Withington's place at centre will be hard to fill. There will be a number of promising men who played on the second team and also material from last fall's victorious Freshman team, which should nearly offset these losses, especially if speed rather than weight is to be a factor in the new game.

L. D. Smith '12 and H. A. Rogers '11 will probably be the regular ends, though R. P. Lewis, M. F. Carr, and P. M. Hollister, all of the 1913 team, and F. D. Huntington '12, are good men. R. G. McKay '11, provided his standing in College is good, will be one tackle. The other tackle position may be filled by H. K. Bush '11, S. M. Felton '13, A. M. Goodale '13, or E. S. Blodgett '12, although none of them has shown exceptional ability. Captain Withington and R. T. Fisher '12 will again be at the two guard positions. J. G. B. Perkins '11 or P. D. Smith '11 will undoubtedly succeed Withington at centre.

For quarterback, the position on which so much depends, there will be keen competition, since D. V. O'Flaherty '11 and R. B. Wigglesworth '12 will both be eligible, as well as H. B. Gardner '12, R. G. Ervin '13, and R. S. Potter '12. It is possible that O'Flaherty may be shifted to end or the backfield. There will be a number of good halfbacks available. H. F. Corbett '11, T. Frothingham, Jr., '12, H. C. Leslie '11, E. P. Pierce, Jr., '12, E. A. Graustein '13, P. L. Wendell '13, and E. P. Graves '13 have shown superior ability. W. M. Minot '11 is an exceptionally good fullback and will have two strong substitutes in H. H. Tryon '12 and G. E. Morrison '12. On paper the team seems strong, but it is impossible to fore-see the development that may result from the new rules.

The Track Team.

The track team will lose by graduation nine men who won places in the Yale and intercollegiate meets. Of this number the loss of G. P. Gardner, Jr., S. C. Lawrence, 2d, and C. C. Little will be most keenly felt. These men secured 19 1-2 points in the dual meet with Yale and 9 in the intercollegiates. Such a loss will cause a weakness in a number of events. Fortunately, however, Captain Foster will be in shape next year, and some men will be able to compete who are at present ineligible. In addition to this, the Freshman team was very strong in some of the events which graduation will weaken. Yale's team in 1911 will again be strong in the field events and the hurdles, but will be weakened greatly on the track by graduation.

Next spring 12 "H" men will be in College. These will represent 23 points of the 52 1-2 scored in the Yale meet, and four points of the 13 1-2 scored in the intercollegiates. Yale will retain seven men who secured 20 1-2 points in the dual meet and 11 1-2 in the intercollegiates. As far as past performances are a criterion, it would seem that the 1911 University team should be well balanced, with the least strength in the broad jump and pole-vault. Captain Foster should have no difficulty in winning the dashes in the dual and intercollegiate meets. Cummins of this year's team, and Austin and de Gozzaldi of the Freshman team should provide good second string material. Kelley and Simons should do even better than this year in the 440-yard dash. H. M. Warren '13 will be a valuable man in either the quarter or the half-mile. In the latter event B. M. Preble '12, who was in-eligible this year, and Fernald, who will be shifted from the mile, should do excelently.

Harvard will again be strong in the longer distances. Jaques, Gray, and H. P. Lawless '13 will very probably take the three places in the mile in the dual meets. Newton, Viets, Withington, Warner, and C. W. Burrage '13 will run in the two-mile.

Long and Lewis will be available in the hurdles. J. H. Noble '11, H. H. Heath '11, and J. B. Cummings '13 may show improvement over their work in the past season.

In the high jump Harvard's strength will depend on Barker and Reed. Dennis is also a good man. Long and Dillingham have shown ability in the broad jump. Park, Austin, and Phillips of the 1913 team did good work in this event this spring. In the shot-put R. B. Batchelder '13 and H. P. Keays '13 should creditably fill the vacancy caused by the graduation of Little and Goddard. B. D. Hodges '11 will be the mainstay of the team in the hammer-throw. Parker, Douglas, and Cable and Batchelder of the 1913 team, will also be developed by Coach Quinn. The pole-vault will be the weakest department of the field events, since no men will be available who can clear over 11 feet.

The Crew.

The prospects for a strong University crew next year are very bright, as the eight will lose only three men by graduation. J. E. Waid '10, E. C. Bacon '10, and R. Whitney '11, who is taking a three-year course, will leave College. McG. A. King '10, coxswain, will also graduate this spring. To fill the three places left vacant in the eight there are several promising men in the University fours, among whom the most prominent are R. F. Hooper '11 and G. H. Balch '12. The material coming from the Freshman eight is only fair, with the exception of A. M. Goodale, at stroke, who is a very good man. Other men who have shown more than mediocre ability are P. H. Keays, G. F. Stratton, N. B. Lincoln, and G. von L. Meyer, Jr., all of the Freshman boat. The competition for the coxswain's seat, left vacant by King, will be between H. M. Voorhees '12 and C. T. Abeles '13.

The Baseball Team.

Of the men now playing on the University nine, Captain C. L. Lanigan '10, G. P. Gardner '10, S. T. Hicks '10, R. S. Marshall '10, and R. C. Brown '10, substitute, will graduate. This will leave vacancies at third base, in the pitcher's box, at shortstop, and in right field.

There remain for the pitching staff McLaughlin and Ernst, but the main dependence will be placed on new players. S. M. Felton, 3d, who was not eligible for the Freshman team this year, Bartholf and Hardy, the regular Freshman pitchers, and R. G. McKay '11, who was ineligible for the University team this year, seem to give promise of a very fair pitching staff. For the catcher's position the best men are Young, this year's catcher, who has not the strength to last a full season and be at his best, Reeves, substitute this year, Sullivan and Graves, the Freshman catchers, and R. P. Lewis, another player in 1913 who did not play on the class nine.

McLaughlin will undoubtedly be at first base again, and with added experience will be even better there than he has been this year. Potter will be at second base, but third base and short-stop will have to be filled by recruits unless Carr gains one of these places.

Considering the weakness of the outfield this season, it seems likely that another year will see three new men playing in the field positions, though there are several "H" men now on the squad who have played in the outfield. Babson, Kelly, Minot, and Rogers have all shown weakness in some department of the game and all are likely to be displaced by new men. Coon, Hollister, Lowrey, and Tomes are the promising candidates from the 1913 team for these positions, though Tomes may find a place in the infield
