Pennsylvania and Michigan have alter
mated as likely winners for their contest mex
! Saturday. and at present Pennsylvania Ia
uppermost in the outlook department. Part
OF this is due to the injury which puts Capt.
Curtis of Michigan out Of IL for the rest Of the
season, but more of II il due 10 Pennsylvania
showing against Lafayette. Pennsylvania
could not heat or score on Lafayette. but the
! Quaker eleven was against a strong team and
! came through the encounter with evidence OF
having at last put her game on a sound basis.
The Quakers faced a critical situation last
Saturday. An untried quarterback was TO be
put TO the test. a new centre and tackle were
in the game: what would be done in the back
field in handlinG punts was a serious question.
and what the new combination In its entirety
would do was a source Of grave uncertainty.
-, -. ~ ..A.A
in a way that created hope for the battles to
come. The Quakers. il is believed, have
started TO come and are on the road toward
the desired Improvement.
Among the defects TO be remedied at Penn
sylvania is failure of the ends TO smash inter
ference. permitting Lafayette TO gain on plays
lust outside Of tackle. They are wondering
in Philadelphia whether the formidable Gar
! rels of Michigan will be able to do the same
thing. Then again more drive is needed IN
the Quaker tandem for line plunEes. Mean
while Michigan and Yale are tied on the gloom
proposition. The gloom Ia so thick and
solid at each place that the only thing ex-
cept victory that could loosen it would be
dynamite and a drill. Yost says Pennsyl-
vania is 100 per cent. stronger than when
she met S~warthmore, and he Is deep IN
the problem OF what shifts he will make IN
his team now that Curtis il incapa citated.
The probable lineup next Saturday will be;
Loell and Newton. ends Eyke and Hammond,
tackles: Davidson and Graham. guards;
Clement. centre: Workman. quarterback:
Magofin and Bishop, halfbacks; CARRIES.
fllIback. The Wolverines will be put through
a g~ruelling siege this week to prepare for the
Quakers.
The work Of the Brown eleven this ia
speaks well for its coach. Robinson. If
Robinson can size up other teams as well as
he can handle his own Harvard is more likely
IN beat Yale than 20 he beaten. We fooled
Yale on all sorts Of trick pla vs." says Robin
son. Pretty nearly every team that Yale has
sta cked up against has done the same. The
Brown man says the playing OF Yale In the
fret and second halves was so contradictory
that IL Ia not easy 10 form a satisfa Glory idea
Of YaIe's real ability. In both the West Point
and Brown games Yale played a lot Of wierd
football in the first half but did a great deal
better in the second. If her work in tho first
half against Princeton is so loose and witless
IL is not likely that she will be able to catch up.
no matter how much she braces.
Continuing. Coach Robinson saws: The
Rrat dife between the Yale and Har-
ward teams Ii that Harvard's offensive play IL
far heavier and stronger than Yale's: the
Harvard backfeld is much better than Yale.
and her plays are far harder to stop than
Yale's. Harvard's offensive play inside the
IS yard line In ahead OF Yale s, and ri ght here
I think that Ysle's play at this point is very
weak. Yaleis backfeld supports the rush
line better than Hsrvard's does. Harvard's
tackling Is slower than Yale 3 and less shifty.
but / must confess that l was surprised al the
lack Of football 81 nse in the Yale team.
There are no medals hanging on the end
rushers Of either the Yale or the Harvard
teams. IL H. a toss. up bet ween them all. and
they are all mediocre lale's ends were
boxed constantly in the first half Of the game.
but on the whole they got down the rCId
better than Harvard's ends did last Saturday
As for Jones and Newhall, the quarterback
OF Yale and Harvard, ] do not like either OF
them as players. They do not appeal TO me.
Z Jones is passing better than NeWhall.
q would rather have Yale's kicking game
than Harvard'R. Needer is a more deceptive
punter, and I like his work better than that OF
Burr, should say that Harvards centre
was better than Yale's. We found il harder
10 gain ground on crise-cross plays aRainsi the
Yale tackles than we did against The Harvard
tackles. But on the whole Harvard played a
more intelligent game OF football than Yale
yale Is more shifty and better than Har-
ward between the IS yard lines because Yale
Il quicker, but when you get inside the 20 yard
lines then Harvard's heavy offence is what
think s:ll be most likely to count and TO
scorp.
