Gridiron Scores to Date by the
Leading Teams.
YALE'S CLEAN RECORD
INTERESTING MATINEE TROTS AT
THE BRIGHTwooD TRACK.
Following the Hounds in Virginia
Races at Pimlico and Aqueduct
Many Bowling Battles.

Yale not only is the only one that has not
been scored on, but the only one that has
made two or more touchdowns in every
game Yet In total points a number Of
teams have surpassed the Yalensians, max
ing big scores in one game and a small
score In the next. The inference is that
Yale has played a more even and consistent
game Certainly that is true regarding her
defense, Yale having shut out every oppo-
nent. Harvard has shut out opponents in
six games out of eight and had three touch
downs registered against her, one Of which
only was the result of being pushed stead
lily back to her goal line. Two teams have
been able to force the Harvard line for con-
sistent gains. West Point and the Indians,
while two have done the same to Yale. West
Point and Pennsylvania State. Princeton
has kept her goal line safe in five games out
of eight. Lehgh and Dartmouth having
crossed 1t, while Lafayette scored on Prince
ton by drop kick. The fact that a team
has not been scored on does not OF itself
signify superior defense to team that mas
been scored on. If the latter be by field
goal. West Point might very easily have
kicked a goal on Yale. being within easy
distance for such a feat, but as a toucn-
down seemed likely rushing tactics We're
continued Thus the very fact that West
Point was able to get near Yales goal line
is one of the things that have kept the goai
line uncrossed. not overlooking the lmpor.
tant fact that Yale was able to repel west
Point when scoring was imminent.
Cornell's Startling Slump.
Pennsylvania has played nine games. the
number of shutout victories exceeding the
number of games in which opponents scored
by the scant majority of one. Columbia has
shut opponents out In only three or ner
seven games, and has been shut out three
hot, no
game with Wesleyan. OF group OF twenty
teams in the east Columbia and West Point
are the only ones that have scored FEWER
total points than their opponents 1t was
only against the much weaker Union ana
Seton Hall teams that Columbia has shown
any real offensive strength. Corneils rec
ord to date shows steadiy increasing
scoring scale-with one exceptlon-up 10 the
time she met Swarthmore. Inc 1thacdns
total of points in each of their first six
games was as follows: s. II, ", "A, 81. o.
Then came Swarthmore, when me scoring
dropped with a dull thud. tlfty-seVen
points in one game and none In the next
was indeed a far cry. Princeton reached
her zero mark with Dartmouth by easier
stages The total against Bucknell was AZ.
then came 90 against Lafayette, IL against
Columbia and none against Dartmouth.
The Brown team, which is quietly prspar-
ing to make Old Eli hump himself next sat
urday has scored in every game II mas
played this season except one rive out Oh
Brown follows Columbia as Yale's opponent.
Princeton was little good against the op-
ponent she tackled after meeting Columbia,
and next Saturday Will show Whether MS
tory has any repeating feats In store for
Yale following the latter's battle with Co
Iumbia The West Point team has BANKED
opponents only once this season, ana lost
three games in succession. Annapolis,
against a much easier group OF teams. has
kept her goal line inviolate in six out OF
eight games and scored in every one OF
them. Dartmouth has scored In every game
and been scored on only by Colgate. her
one conGueror. Michigan has neither been
scored on nor held down to less than three
touchdowns by any opponent Total scores

Tigers Had Easy Work.
The Princeton foot ball team received
a let-up yesterday after the two hard prac-
tices which came at the first of the week.
The We're simply sent through the
preliminaries to keep their muscles in con-
dition. The policy Is being tried for the
first time this season of following a foot
ball game with hard work and giving to
the men long rest previous to big
contest This has been adopted because
the physical condition of the squad Is not
up to the usual mark at this time. Since
October Il there has been a marked decline
in the condition OF the the team, but 1t now
looks as If the men were on the upward
path again. The great question that Is con-
corning coaches and trainer Is whether the
men can be rounded into shape by No
vember IS to meet Yale on equal terms.
Capt Cooney again took charge of the
eleven yesterday from his field position
at left tackle. II. Dillon was again in his
place at right guard. while Rafferty, took
charge OF left guard again and seems to
have steadier nerves than on Saturday,
when he was responsible for many off
side plays against Dartmouth. During the
rast few days the whole team has been
drilled to charge with the swapping of the
ball TO avoid off side penalties, and special
attention has been paid TO fumbling.
