the front with a rush and would undoubt-

ers But from the very start of the sea-
son the Quakers have labored under this
great handicap. In their search for the
proper man they have tried out five candi-
dates. These were Sheble, Lee, Luby, Kei-
nath and Lawrence. They are now expert

the Michigan quarterback. There is a
chance, of course. that one of these men
Will take a sudden brace and drive the
team to victory. but the probability of
this Is remote.
In carrying out the comparison of the
teams, Pennsylvania undoubtedly has a
better pair of halfbacks than Michigan in
Capt. Greene and FolweH The shifting of
Hollenback from center to halfback has
likewise been of great service to the Quak
er back field Michigan has the better QUAR-
terback, and in Garrells has one of the
very best fullbacks in the country In
the line the two teams are about equal.
Michigan Is stronger at center and one
tackle, while Penn has a fair pair of ends
and good guard and tackle in Ziegler
and Draper In the other positions the
yidng the two teams play the game of
which they are capable. this will surely be
great fight.
The Indians Look Good.
= On the same day there will be another in
tersectional fight and one which promises
to be quite as exciting as the Penn Mich
igan game, This will be tie game between
Minnesota and the Carlisle -Jdians. The
stock of the Indians took a great upward
bound when their team defeated Penn
sylvania two weeks ago q to g. The fact
that the Redmen were especially lucky in
three of the touchdowns they secured is not
considered by those who attach too much
Importance to the Indians victory over
Pennsylvania.
The Indians are very fast but light, and
probably could not duplicate their victory
over Pennsylvania, matter how many
times they tried This statement is not
made to discount the splendid game of the
Indians, for they are exceptionally shifty
with the new game, but merely to call at
tention to the fact that they are likely to
be beaten by Minnesota. If they de-
feated the victory of Minnesota need not
be set down as a demonstration of the su-
periority of the western brand of foot ball
over that which belongs to the east If
Minnesota does win her game, and Michi-
gan should lose to Penn. this might lead
Minnesota adherents to make extraor-
binary claims.
Some complications are likely to grow
out Of a little hard feeling that was en-
gendered between the Princeton foot ball
authorities and Edgar L. Wrightington. of
Harvard. over ruling in the Princeton
Cornell game in New York two weeks ago
In that game Wrightington ruled quarter
back Dillon, of the Princeton team, off the
field for striking a Cornell opponent. Prince
ton claims that Dillon was provoked to this
act by the illegal playing of the Cornell
men and that the Ithacans should have
been punished. 1t so happened that
Wrightington had already been agreed
upon as one of the officials for the Prince
ton-Dartmouth game the Saturday follow
ing. But so great was the resentment of
the Princeton officials toward his decisions

in refusing to have Wrightineton may make
trouble. 1t will certainly not increase the
cordially of the feeling between Princeton
and Harvard.
Increased Power Used.
That the officials are exercising the
greater power given them under the new
rules Is evident from the way two of them,
one of whom was Wrightington of Har-
ward, ruled out five men In the Williams
Colgate game week ago. One man OF
each team was sent from the field for
off because of the objectionable language
they used toward the officials. This is the
proper method Of curling unruly plays.
Harvard men were much surprised on the
same day when Edwards, who umpired the
Harvard Brown game. had to send Wen
dell, the Harvard halfback. from the field
for smuggling. This Is the second time

ball tactics, though not this ear. To date
Yale has had two men ruled of for rough

season for offensive remarks to a visiting

has a clean record in this regard.
There win be no foot ball at Columbia. is
the edict of President Butler of that insti- |
tuition. Ever since the game was aban-
doned year ago the Columbia students
have been trying by petition and other
wise to get the game restored to them.
Their last petition. which was for series |
of interclass games to test the new rules, |
has been rejected President Butler de- |
clared to the students that the new rules |
had had no effect whatever on the evils /
