1t is not improbable that springs will
cut more figure next season than they
have done for number of years. vi
bration is only partially eliminated by
the use of air tires, and with the small
sizes that are now SO popular the de-
sire for relief becomes stronger.
What form of relief this desire will
eventually settle upon is not easy to
say. AS far as spring saddles are con-
cerned. the tide has flowed and ebbed
SO much that almost any conclusion
could be drawn regarding them. 1t
seems idle to look for anything start
ling here, however.
When it comes to springs as applied
to the frame, however, an entirely diff
ferent condition of affairs prevails.
Years ago spring frame was intro
duced that met most of the objections
urged against a machine of this kind.
But it came at a time when the pNej-
udice against springs was still strong,
and it seemed destined to perish of
inanition.
Since then there has arisen demand
for just such a machine. 1t is con-
fined to an exceedingly small proper
ton of riders, to be sure, but it is a
demand none the less. and one that
grows, steadily if slowly.
1t looks as if it would continue to
grow, gathering force as the months go
by. Anything approaching general ac-
ceptance of this type of machine is
scarcely likely to come to pass. But
it will continue to appeal to certain
riders. and satisfy them as nothing
else could

ordinate. 1t is just in this last mem
toned fact that the sting of the whole
mistake rests. for when it happens, as
is the case this year, that there are not
the right class Of men in the team to
sustain the continual fierce rushes. the
work of the whole team goes practical
ly for nothing. In fact, when the
guards back fails everything is
gone, because the team has so to speak,
placed all it's eggs in one basket.
In kicking and defense Pennsylvania
exhibits still more weakness, adherins
to the old idea of sending only one
down to punt while the other stays to
take care of the kickers. The closenss
of Pennsy's tackle play is the fault in
her defense and also the end play on de-
fensive. which leaves too much oppor-
tunity for an end run to be scored.
One of the most important things for
football managers to do nowadays
seems 20 be to save the best men in
practice as much as possible to avoid
their being rendered useless when the
date for great match comes round.
The managers are in many cases TAX
ing this precaution, knowing that the
absence of strong man in any import
ant position is more apt to cost the
team the game than anything else
which can happen outside of actual in
feriority.
AT Cambridge the Harvard team is
making prodigious efforts to improve
its standard and with some good re-
suits. The team has been better at Of

and in consequence the coaches are in
sisting upon great deal of practice
tending to perfect the Crimson in that
direction. Drop kicking has also been
given some attention and Head Coach
Dibble has been making miracle out
of Swain with some sharp practice in
this line.
Old coaches say that for this year at
least there is no fear of the pennaut
going West, as in elementary work the
coaching of the western teams is weak,
their work having been rushed through
without thorough preliminary training
in detail demanded of an east
ern team. This constitutes a weakness
which cannot help being felt sooner or
later, no matter how brilliant the play
may be. say the coaches. and in conse-
quence bars the aspirants out for the
time being.
In this way the sharp tussle which
the Wiscons!ns gave Yale must not he
