FOOTBALL CHAT.

Princeton's small score against the
University of Virginia eleven yesterday
emphasizes the fact that the big college
teams have found 1t unprecedentedly
hard to run up big scores against the
minor colleges and athletic club eevens
this season. Lehigh made a great fight
against Princeton. Williams scored
against Yale Brown did the same with
Harvard. The coaching these lesser elev-
ems have received during the past three
years from graduates If the big colleges
