WALTER CAMPS CRITICISM
Yale Could Gain t;rOunJ With More
Certainty Than PrincetOn.

Walter Camp writes ir the Philadelphia
Press of the Yalc-Princeton game:
AT the start Yale had rather the better
of il. and for the first dozen plays SEEM
ed far more active and dashing than Prince
ton. They at once began TO Iorce the fight
ing. blocking a low kickoff of PrinCeton's S
and following it up by crowding the New
Jersey team down into their half of the
field from which they seemed unable TO
extriCdte themselves.
The game began to take on a tint of blue.
and steadily the Yale men carried their
advantage up until, on a run over tackle,
the ball was lost at the moment of the run
ner going down. Poe stealing away with i
for almost a hundred-yard dash down the
field for 81 touchdown, and what proved TO
be the only score of the game. Then Yale
settled dOggediy down to work, but FUN
bling and poor handling Of kicks prevented
her evening up matters. and although her
team seemed to be able to make ground
more certainly than Princeton. the superb
riority was not enough TO overcome the
looseness of their play in other respects.
and time was called for the end of the first
half. with Princeton in the lead
When the second half began Yale had
apparently taken on resolve to make up
for lost time. Gunston fought his way over
Princeton's left tackle for smashing runs
and seemed endowed with some of kelly's
Oid-time line bucking qualities Then. when
both he and Benjamin had been replaced
by CoTHin and Townsend, these two worked
we'll together and seemed able TO make dis
tance. Corwin was especially strong both
through the line and around the tackles,
out the lucky moment never came, for no.
{. little of their hard tightIng was done In
the mitdle of the field, and the puntng
OF Wheeler would relieve the strain upon
Princeton line.
Then came the inevitable struggle of the
defeated team. when. realizing that the
time was 50 nearly UP as to make their
chances almost hopeless, they fought on in
desperation.
Here Princeton. with her better follow
ing up OF kicks, began to eat her way up
toward Yale'S goal. a sturdy defense Sc
cured the ball for Yale and the blue began
to breathe more freely. Then a blocked
kick put them even more upon the defen-
sve
Princeton was almost in Yaes goal, but
Yale braC@d once more and held her off
and pun:ed out of danger, and the game
ended with the same score that of last
year only this time it was Princeton that
had the six points ard Yale nothing.

Inmates used in the table published month
ago We're made. Australia has suffered Sc
verely from drought, but this is now brok-
en-. good rains having fallen throughout
Victoria, South Australia and New South
Wales If the Australasian wheat crop
should fall short of the Broomhall esti-
mates-the largest-it may in any case
equal or perhaps exceed the very moderate
estimates of the other two authorities an
nounccd last month The Broomhall esti-
mate was 54,oO0,OO0 and the Hungarian
estimate only 81 000, 900 of 90 pounds. while
the estimate of the Bulletin des Halles was
81, ,0c0 800 Winchester bushels. Severe frosts
fave been reported from Argentina, but the
latest accounts as to the outlook for the
wheat crop in that country are not unfa-
Vorable.
Other Crops.
AS to other crops, the estimates for
France for barley is 81, 167, 166 bushels and
for oats, 299,059074 bushels. The pro-
visional estimate of the Russian agricul-
tural ministry give in Winchester bushels:
Winter wheat. Ill, ,639,G00; spring wheat
I5,S11, 600; total wheat. 411,4J0,0U0; rye,
al, $4,000; barley. 32o, l41 600; oats, CO.,
S61,GJ0; maize, s42, 1Ig000.
The official crop report of Austria for the
middle of October represents the oats crop
generally satisfactory in quantity ana
still more so in quality. Except In the
mountain districts, maize is mostly mar
vested, and hardly medium crop. BUCK
wheat suffered partly from drought and
partly from frost in the northern and east
ern provinces, but in the middle zone more
satisfactory. The barley crop was some
what deficient in quantity and quality. In
general, however, the cereal crops were sat
isfactory, the kernels being mostly full,
heavy and of a good color. In the noun
tain districts, and in the south, the yields
of averages were below, where they
were satisfactory, and especially so in up
per Austria and part of Moravia and East
Galicia though in the last-named province
the latter part of the crop suffered some
what from frost Beet roots suffered from
drought more than other root crops, the
yield is barely up to the average, but quail
jty satisfactory. The fruit crop. though
good i'm the middle zone and In some dis
trcts of Silesia and West Galicia, is on the
whole disappointing. The vintage In lower
Austria exceeded the estimates, and the
quality of the must was quite good. In
Karst and the coast districts the yield was
only medium, but the quality, in general,
was satisfactory.
Fall sowing was delayed by drought
throughout large part of Europe, but
there is no reason to apprehend any ma
terial detriment TO the crop from the de-
lay, though in some countries the area
sown may be somewhat smaller than under

The Racing at Benning Opened

The autumn meeting of the Washington
Jockey Club opened at the Benning track
Saturday afternoon, under the most auspi-
cous conditions. The weather could not
we'll have been more favorable, the at
tendance was by far the largest seen on an
opening day for years, the fields were un-
usually large. while the work of Mars Cas-
sidy who welded the starters flag, was
simply perfect, deservedy winning the ap-
plause of the crowd. In the second race
he sent sixteen two-year-olds off at the
second break, and in the last he dis
pat atched the thirteen horses on their jour
ney on perfect alignment. There is no
reason why Mr.. Cassidy should not keep
up his excellent work with the flag and if
he does the local club. which secured his
reinstatement, will have the distinction of
providing the Jockey Club tracks with the
best starter since the days of Caldwell.
The attendance of ladies was large, as
was that of officers and men of the army
and navy and the volunteer service, who

deed. the attendance included those pror
nent in official, diplomatic and business
circles, while the number of Metropolitan
race-goers was very large. Speculation YVES
brisk, nineteen manipulators of odds being
present and in the first four races it was
about an even thing between the public
and the gentlemen of figures. The last race
won by an outsider, Atlantus, against
which ID TO ] was offered.
The full-cOurse steeplechase was run as
the third race, eight horses starting. But
one fell, Rifer. and the second choice. Tril-

CROP OF THE WORLD

Cornell played straight foot ball through

Game to SNarthmore

The Columbian University team was cle.r-

their game at Capitol Park Saturday. and
as a result, the local boys were beaten bv
a score of - to 6. The game was the first
one this season in which the regular Co
iumbian team has been played, accidents
and sickness nearly always necessitatins
the use of substitutes in games heretofore
played this season, and it's hackers pro-
fess to be satisfied with the showing made
Besides this handicap Swarthmore has
played several big games already this
season. and added to the advantage which
their weight clearly gave them was that
of practice as obtained in a regular game
Columbians' six points were made in the
first half by double pass, Beard going
around the end for touchdown from
which Cummings kicked goal Columbian
also had a chance to score a second time
in the second half, but an unlucky fun

scored d run of sixty yards. The Swarth
more team made their remaining touch
downs through hard work in rushing tho
ball down the field through the line and in
exchange of punts, in which Farouhar's
kicking cut quite a figure. Cummings tried
for two goals from the field on drop kicks
but missed both. The lineup follows:
