" Bill R6p6r, after " an absence of eight years, will be head coach
":f the OPrihceton .yars.ity quad this year and he is facing a tough
proposition, for th Tigers are extremely shy of experienced material.
Eoper will be assisted by. Keene Fitzpatrick, whojhough a trainer is a
Rkillful' coach; Harold Ballin, and "Red" Gennert, of the 1910 team.
Nat Poe" is to act as coach of the scruhjs, who will have a schedule all
j their own, something, new ,in college football.
i The Orange and'Blaekhas its customary stiff schedule, with the
Yale contest t New Haven, November 15, as is goal. Trinity, Lafay
ette, Colgate, West Virginia, and Harvard make up the list of games
to be played. - .
. The Tigers lack experienced var-
sltjr players, but they. wiu have a ,
number of likely .lads from tne in-I
fopnaL.tearas-oi 4-317 and 1918. This
applies' especially to Murray, the
quarterback of the S. A. T. C. eleven
last "fall who was plsjced on W.-ilter
farcin's all-American team. Murray

the few games staged last season.
Nevertheless, 'Roper Ir going to
have a rough time whipping together
an eleven strong enough to defeat
such veteran outfits, as ."West Virgin

Princetpn has always shown great
gameness'in the face of difficulties,
however, and so it is pontile that

BOB MAXAM RUNS
IN A. A. U. GAMES
"Washington's lone entry-in'the na
tional A. A. Jj. championship meet in
Philadelphia at Franklin Field to
morrow is Robert S. Maxam, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania flyer, who
was recently released from the naval
aviation service.
Maxam is gradualb getting back
into condition, and while he expects
ta compete to the best of his ability
tomorrow, is not at top form yet.
As a niombor of the University of
Pennsylvania" freshman team two
years ago, Maxam was on the quartet
which set world's record. His last
performance on the track" was in the
Meadowbrook games of 1017, when
he won the Meadowbrook 060, being
the first to have his name inscribed
along with that of Ted Meredith,
three times winner of the event.
At Toronto two weeks ago, Maxam
qualified in tlie century and led
Hayes, the A. 13. F. crack, for seventy
yards. Maxam had done but little
work this summer, and is going up to
sec how the sprinters. are making a
go gf it., His best work has been
done at the quarter.
Maxam is entered in the 100 and
220 in the big-championship meet tomorrow.
