these necessary laws Of the modern game.
The Boston Athletic Association game with
Harvard yesterday was a good exhibition or
the game rules Harvard. Of course. put in
what with the exception Of two men was a
poor second eleven but the illustration is just
as good The Boston Athletic Association team
is composed Of individuals. Of older men. who
do not know how to play together. but who
do know how 70 force the game at critical mo-
ments They gained their ground at the prop
er moments. while Harvard gained little ground
except at unlmportant moments, when long
and brilliant runs were made where a very long
kick would really have done quite as Well Inc
Harvard team. by the way. ought ~ have put
up a far better game. as they are quite capable
OF doing. but II is probable that Waters $ idea
was 10 get his best men in CONDITION lor me
coming game with Pennsylvania next Saiur,
day. and he took risk in putting in second
team which has cost him dearly.
What is u be the result OF the Yale-Prince-
ton game on the 21st? No one can say, but
two very evident statements can ne made.
On the one side Princeton has beautiful kick
or in Baird a better kicker than Yale can
show this year and Princeton has a series OF
twist plays that are practically mass plays
which will be sure ground gamers against Yale.
the latter has not as strong defence as
Harvard on the other hand. Yale has for
several years understood the importance ~
the important details already pointed out
above. The proper understanding OF these
points IS what has given rise 20 the phrase.
Yale luck" For The Yale teams have blocked
more kicks than any other college teams. Tn"y
have PLAYED more sure simple. straightf0rW ard
plays at critical times than any other co"eEe
teams. and consequently they have won more
Whether this year that common sense winning
game will win over better players IS uncertain.
The chances judging from the men, are Win
Princeton. The chances. judging from the
knowledge Of the winning quality in football,
are with Yale Practically speaking. the bal
ance OF favor is with Princeton. II the Nassau
men have not gathered IN a little too much con-
fdence from the result OF the Harvard game.
