Columbia university, meanwhile, is i'm
proving in a style to worry even the big
teams, BY defeating the plucky little eleven
from Swarthmore college "a to 0 it has made
the scores the Quakers and the Tigers
rolled up against this team look very sick.
Columbia did "a to 0, Pennsylvania 10 to 0
end Princeton II to 8. However, the same
Told rule still applies. Comparative scores
count for naught, especially when separated
by time and by degree of preparation. To
play the Tigers or the Quakers either any
small school team would be likely to train
harder and then strain harder than against
columbia or Cornell. Again. Princeton is
doubtless far better now than It was when.
it played Swarthmore, while that school
Is more likely to have attained its best
form early, as is the fashion OF teams
that have but little material to work with.
The Crimson might have the. audacity
30 offer its score against Wesleyan Of last
Wednesday as proof Of that It was on an
equality with Yale. A week or more ago
Yale won from Wesleyan 35 to 0, and was
never in danger of a score against the
Blue. Last Wednesday Harvard played
Wesleyan 80 to 5, and that little score that
the Methodists made means a whole lot
more than II says. 1t means that during
the second, half of that game Wesleyan
did what It would to Harvard, with no
huke involved, either, aud that even at it's
own last ditch the Crimson would not stand
and hold a team that II had already made
50 points on. Right Tackle Forbes for
Wesleyan did as he would with the ball.
First a common little delayed pass trick
play so demoralized Harvard that Forbes
carried the ball from the middle of the
field TO the Crimson ten-yard- line, a dash
of forty-five yards. Next Epsy, Wesleyan's
left guard. tried a drop trick, but It was
blocked. The ball bounded back and Van
surden, wesIeyan's full back, landed it>and
started for the goal again. He was nailed
down on the onesyard line. Here was Har-
wards place to show class and superiority,
but Forbes walked right through between
guard and tackle for the touchdown.
In Conference college circles II is inter-
esting to note that the Haskell Indians are
continuing their good record made last sea-
son in the Transmissour western country
and are extending Il eastward. This team,
comparatively unknown east of the Mlssis-
sippi, went into Champaign, ILL.,, and scored
twice against the strong University of I'LL
nois aggregation, at the same time giving
the white men a scare for the game.
The Indians adopted their we'll known
tactics, which came so near proving fstaI

playing like wildhre from the very begin.
ming. and so astonishing was their speed
and so rapidly we're their formations put
In motion that the ilinoisans were simply
played OF their feet at first. They had
never seen men who could start so quickly
and yet keep going so hard.
So the Indians got across the goal line
twice. but there the puzzle was solved. Tn,
varsity men woke up 10 the fact that they
would have to play TO win and they did. Il
was the very fastest work the Illinois team
was ever called upon to do or will be agar
this season. They had cut out for then
the job OF scoring and scoring fast. This
they did to the satisfaction OF all. running
up twenty-four points before the gam'
ended.
