STRONG FOOTBALL
CARD THIS WEEK

The college football games scheduled
for this week make the strongest card
of the season so far and are to be
eclipsed only by the closing contests OF
the season. which come next week. The
one great game promises TO be the an
nual meeting OF Yale and Princeton at
Princeton on Saturday afternoon. In this
game, the experts agree. will be shown
the possibilities of the new rules nj the
best advantage Both Princeton and
Yale have so far this season shown
ent from those OF the past, I'm which there
is practically nothing but open play.
Princeton has always favored open play
more than the other colleges. as its
teams have always been famous for their
running OF ends. on the other hand, Yale
in the past has stood for the massing of
men against the point OF attack and has
been the introducer of many mass plays;
but this season Yale has thrown all aside
and is using an offense more open and
varied than any other team, with the pos
sible exception OF Princeton. so that when
the two teams meet on Saturday there
Will be whole lot more doing on the
field than ever before.
Harvard's game with Dartmouth is not
attracting the attention that the meeting
OF the two teams I'm the past has. owing
TO the proved weakness of the green

Coy. the Yale freshman Is the man
whom the Harvard freshies fear most He
was the herculean performer OF the Yale
10 crowd In their game with the Tiger
youngsters. The absence OF the unstudi-
Gus stars from the eleven threw the btr-
den OF all labors on the shoulders OF
Andrus and Coy. However those two
men managed TO win the game.
The crowds are plainly delighted with
the more open play. But after all. should
football be judged from the standpoint of
a spectacle or from that OF a sport? In
other words does the game exist prima-
rily for the spectators or for the PLAYERS?
This is no criticism OF the new rules. but
IT Is question to the commonly express
ed point OF view.
In view Of all that Newhall did satur-
day afternoon. nothing short of an alb
ject apology should precede one single
word on fault-flnding. But Newhall
braves the traditions of football by slew

ponent on the run you should give him

Yale's score came very early i'm the last
half. The touchdowns was made by the
straightest kind OF football. and the Yale
backs tore along through the Brown line

rush for the goal Yale went nearly the
length OF the field without loss OF the
ball and often tore off 20 or more yards I'm

whom the burden of this work fell and he

and was never stopped at this particular
stage OF the game without a gain.
