BROWN AND LAFAYETTE CLASH.

A Critic Who Thinks De Witt Punts Too Far

Rule - Umpire Dashiels Eagle Eye.
Ky no means the least Interesting Of the
| many interesting games to be played next
| Saturday win be the Brown Lafayette game
az Easton. This game promises TO be Greek
! We Greek with a vengeance. Tor both or these
| teams are playing hard ana consistent foot
| ball. The record Of the Brown team so far
| this season il a most meritorious one. The
Brown men have met Harvard. Yale and
| PENNSYLVANIA among others. and the total
| points scored against them Is only ~. Tn At
IL pretty keen football. Five OF these 2?
| points were the rrsul, of a goal from the Held
| by Mrtcali OF Yale. SO not one OF the three
teams ment loned crossed Browns goal Tor
a touchdown more than once. Lafayette
has a much larger total OF points scored than
has Brown. and has not been beaten; but, on
| the other hand. has not faced anything like
| as hard opposition az Brown. only I'VE
points have been scored AGAINST lafayette,
and Manhattan College OF this city was the
| team to do the trick.
4 man who has had experience in football
| at Harvard says OF the Princrton-C olumbia
| game: While De wits puntinS was IN
| itself fine. yet in lay opinion, he kicked too
| far for his ends fast as those ends were. He
got good height TO his kicks. too. but his
| driving power was a. great that the opposing
cat cher almost alW ly- had chance TO run
| the ball back. aud more of the kicks would
| have been run back hut for poor judgment
| IN paucing the punts With all due respect
! 10 Princeton 1t seemed 10 me that the score
| was due more TO Columbia weaknesses than
| Princeton strength Columbiss tackling was
| very poor
| Capt Herman of Harvard took advantage
| OF the :O.yard retreat rlle IN the game
against Brown last saturday and probably
this Is the first case of Tn" Kind this season,
/ The bail was We'll within Brown territory

J IL for first down II was Capt Mcbride
| of Yale who nrst took advantage of this
rule 10 hold on TO the ball. and his -hreN dneas
| IN making the most Of "a rule that had been
| generally overlooked was one OF the causes
| of Yale holding Harvard to u tie in that game.
! which was in 1899. There has been some
| legislation Oh the point eince then, and now
| a team may not take tn" ball back second
! time unless II has changed hands in the mean
| time There was SOM little criticism Of
NcBrid"'s course AT the time, on tina ground
! that IL would hav" been moro sport nike
| TO try for the distanc" ON the fourth down
| and lose the ball rather than retreat. or run
| away, as IL was called, which criticism. was
| oil course absurd.
