A. S. Meyer and K. G. Falk will play for Columbia, E. E. Southard and F. C. Ahrensberg (sic) will do duty for Harvard. L. A. Cook and W. A. (sic) Webb have been chose by Yale, and Alfred C. Weston and John A. Ely, Jr., will be Princeton's representatives. Only three of the above have played in previous intercollegiate contests, Meyer, Cook and Southard.

Falk and Arthur S. Meyer; substitutes, F. H. Sewell and A. W. Parker, Jr. Harvard—Charles F. C. Arensberg and Elmer E. Southard; substitutes, W. Catchings and F. E. Thayer. Yale—Louis A.
