\ Capt. Herbert Dillon Of Princeton. has
rheumatism. and may not he able 10 play
against Yale. Daub, who played half
against Old Icli last year. showed up well
in the Tiger Enc against West Point and
will take Dillcn's place 70 the lattcrs
joints do not timber up.
Cooney is acting-captain of Princeton
during Dillon's absence The duties of the
captaincy were too much for Cooney be-
fore but they do not seem 10 bother him
this year. iW
The callbre OF the Tiger backs IS shown
by Daubs inability 20 make 4 back field
position this season. Last year Daub tore
through the Yalo line several times. but
hr cannot Gust either Mccormick, Rulon-
Miller or Harlan. ASK n-l-
In the Brown game Needer4 kept up his
good puntng The Yale line gave way To-
Brown as it did to West Point and Veeder
saved the dav bv repeatedly bootlng tho
ball back down the field.
Now Dartmouth comes ont frankly and
Acknowledges that she must give UP tho
old system Of play and change over TO the
new wrinkles. Her experience with Prime
ton taught her thar nothing worth while
can be obtained With modified old foot
ball between the 2S-yard lines.
Tha lack OF endurance shown by Cor
nell hero seems 10 have been overcome.
The lthacans made a grand-stand finish
or Saturday, when they defeated Holy
Cross In the last half
The Tiger cubs were no match for tho
Yale freshmea. Those flrst-year men IN
New Haven are an exceptional lot and
will be valuable addition 10 the varsity
squad next fall.
Swarthmore placed too much confidence
i'm O'Brien's toe against the Navy. O. Brien
did land one drop between the posts, but
he missed several other kicks that the
Quaker offense prepared for him.
The Maine college eleven appear. under
the new rules, TO be very evenly matched.
Two nothing -to-no:hing scores rewarded
their championship aspirations, Saturday.
II was splendid idea at Harvard 20
have tho two squads run from the locker
building 10 tho field together. Such lit
tie customs aid cleaner sport. After all.
the trouble with old football was not so
much the fault OF the sport itself as it
WAS the ethics OF the men themselves.
Only one man will umpire the Yale
Princeton game Evarts Wreenn, whom
Princeton asked Yale 20 accept refused To-
act with another man, whereupon the
Tigers asked Yale TO continue the single
umpire system. and Yale agreed. This
looks like clever diplomacy ou Prince
tons part But is it not a violation
OF tho conference agreements? Certainly
II Is n violation or the letter as well as OF
the spirit OF the new rules. One would
think Yale would prefer to have three or
four umpires on the field during contest
with Princeton
Harvard should have no trouble n,
downing Dartmouth on Soldiers Field
next Saturday" observes a competent old
Dartmouth man. with much reluctance.
The spirit Of the undergraduates at Han
over is however optimistic. I'VE are not
cut 10 make a good showing" sing tho
young fellows in unison. I'VE are on 10
win. and We depend on Johnny Glaze ana
hs men To 10 the trick What care va
that Harvard did 80 we'll against the In
dians or that he We did so we'll at Prince
ton. and stiil failed 10 hold the Tigers
down? We've forgotten all about Prince
ton. We are thinking now Of Harvard
Dnd Brown. and we're out 10 Win both
games
u is good news that Proxy Eliot ap-
proves Of tho reform football President
Eliot has caused the devoted lovers of the
game more worriment than any other
opponent of the sport The game Is still
rough but is all the games OF the season
up TO date may he taken as a basis for
judgment. football is comparatively safe.
Here and there accidents are occurring
indeed on Saturday there were at least
two grave misfortunes. but. taking into
consideration the opportunities which
football offers for personal contact OF
men, the percentage of accidents is this
year FAR below the percentage I'm many
o,hcr sports Motoring. for example.

football H. scarcely comparable in respect
OF accidents TO many sports Time out
for injuries ~ very infrcquent nowadays.
