NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Under the new
rules these Carlisle Indians are play
ing the mischief with football prophe-
cies What their thin red line of he
roes did to Penn has caused slump
in the prediction market.
The new rules demand fast foot
ork. and ever since the time of Deerfoot
the noble red man has had a reputa-
tion for swift running. When Carlisle
meets Harvard and Cambridge we VIII
have another line of ability of the war
whoops to play the white mans game.
And 1t is not a to 4 get that Carlisle
won't present the cultured bunch with
a large and juicy prune.
To use a comparison that Will pro-
duce a picture in the mind of every
St. Louis follower of sport, VINO throws
his fellow townsmen, Stannard, Prince
TOMS great tackle, is as big, as rugged
and as powerful man as Jeffries, the
fighter.
He has the leonide head, the massive
features and the huge limbs that dis
tinguish the ring champion from all
other heavyweight boxers, and yet, in
football uniform, Stannard is not more
prominent than the rest of the Prince
ton linemen.
Princeton this year has one of the
greatest football teams produced by
the Orange and Black for many sea-
sons.
The new football rules seem to suit
this team to dot. 1t is speedy team,
but full of swift action. 1t is team
that will fight at full speed, apparent
ly, and still have enough left for tre-
mendous squirt at the finish.
1t showed this Saturday in the game
with Cornell. The Ithaca warriors out

to work together with the beautiful
accuracy and rhythm of piece of we'll
oiled machinery.
IF there is a weak spot in tie Tiger
lineup it is invisible. Dillon, the
swift little quarter, pushed his men
into play after play at lightning speed.
He is a great little man.
He is sure of catching punts. al
though his one muff Saturday helped
Cornell to score, and and stars like a
flash. In a broken field he twists and
lodges swiftly always making good
gain before his is pulled down. and
when tackled he is never thrown back
with the ball. He is cool and clear
headed, and in the second half. when
he slugged the man who had tackled
him and brought him down, being
ruled off the field. 1t was surprise to
Dillon is usually very clean player
of the game.
Herring. while new at center is
good man for the place This is his
second year on the varsity. He has
played tackle, but he has made good.
He stands like a rock. keeps his ball
ance and passes out the ball swiftly
and accurately. Herring weighs less
than 100 pounds.
right guards. are d rock wall. Cooney,
right tackle, is as good man as Stan
nard on the left, although he is much
lighter Cooney is very fast on his
feet and tears into the line like loco
motive His years on the team have
given him experience and craft. He is
as aggressive as an Indian on the war
path.
Stannard. the giant, is surprisingly
fast in starting and for short plunges.
He is not fast runner. compared to
some of the others, but he is fast for
his bulk. Stannard played in '04. after
which he dropped out until after this
year He is still very young. but is
harder and stronger than two years
ago.
wister and Hoagland, the ends, are
very fast on getting down under
punts. Wster is particularly good in
there"
Harlan and RulonM Miller make
great pair of halfbacks. Rulon-Miller
is a 10-second man on the track. Har-
lan's strongest point is finding holes in
the lines, and he shoots through like
rocket
Mccormack, fullback, is 1885,
FOUNDER, with two years of varsity eX-
perience. Last year he was an "All
American" With Cooney and Eddie
Dillon, Mccormack plays bareheaded.
All the other Tigers wear the black
leather caps. Mccormack is a hard
man to stop
He is fast and strong and jumps
through openings like an obstacle race
runner diving through a barrel. The
longer he plays the faster he goes.
Time and again he went through the
Cornell wall for plunges of ten or
twenty yards. Once he gained a clear
forty before he was finally tangled and
brought to earth.
Taken all around this Princeton ag-
gregation is as swift and aggressive a
team as has been seen in the field this
season. And it has plenty of reserve
force in its subs. Any vacancy can be
filled in an instant without interfering
with the efficiency of the team.
The new rules have certainly i'm
proved the game. and in the new style
of swift, open tricky play this Tiger
team will give any of its rivals a hard
rub for the honors.
