punters have been doing
Swarthmore was the first team to cross
Annapolis goal line. The army, however
seems again to have the better chances for
December at Princeton.
Ihe Yale defense will stand lot of i'm
proVement. but 1t is worthy of note that
the line stiffened when West Point was
really dangerous
Shuster kept up his remarkable goal kick
ing Tor Lafayette again on Saturday, when
nc Kicked three goals from the field He is
certainly a wonder.
BY all means the surprise of the season
is that Holy Choss should have beaten

either Harvard or Yale did
In the games In which the big four

utes and Yale 40 minutes
Great big John De Witt. the famous
Princeton athlete of recent years. has for
attention to the development Of the Tigers
1t is unfortunate that two such brilliant
backfeld quarterbacks as Stevenson OF
pennsylvania and Jones of Yale cannot be
seen In the same game this year.
Thus lar this season the games have been
| much more interesting than they were a
year ago. There is more variety, more
dash and closer attention to detail on the
part of the spectators.
Tad Jones of Yale has all the earmarks
of a great player. but the best quarterba ok
now playing the game is undoubtedly Ste
venson of Pennsylvania.
In seven games Harvard has scored ll2
points. while Yale has scored 1874 points IN

crossed.

Princeton has found an end in Freshman
CBrien, who. 1t thinks, will suit. He has
excellent results. He is light, but has the
knack of tackldng. For the other end
Tooker. a veteran, is being supplanted by
Fryer.
Drop kckers in the "big four seem to
be lacking this year. Harvard Is certainly
in bad way. Saturday there were sew
eral chances for drop kicker to get in his
work. but there was no one on the Harvard
eleven skilled In this department of the
game.
Such gathering of former Yale players
as never was saw the game at West Point
last Saturday. Among them were Rock
well. Olcott. Heffelfnger. Glass Goss,
George Chadwick. Metcalfe, Phil Stillman
Bloomer. Owsley Chamberlain, Sanford
Hnkey and Rodgers. Other former stars
who looked on were Hillebrand Of Prince
ton. Waters of Harvard and Boyers, Graves
and Daily of West Point.
Athletic circles were stirred by the dis
covery that Northwestern University, the
great Methodist school, has a former pro-
fessional prize fighter on it's foot ball eleven
Dave Barry, the Canadian lightweight, has
participated in several of the practice
games that Northwestern has played this
year. but 1t has never been known that the
professional was a candidate for the purple
team. Barry is bona fide student In the
Northwestern University Medical School,
and Is one of the most popular students In
the institution. He has not attempted to
play under any name other than his own
| Barry denies that he was prize fighter.
