PRINCETON'S SPEED

New York, Nov. 5.-The remarkable speed
shown by the Princeton football team In their
game with Dartmouth WAS the feature NJ

Harvard met the Brown team which Pennsyl.
vama defeated on wet and slippery field, and
found with dry field that they were a very
different proposition. Their open football played
havoc with the big crimson team, who finally
won out. The game showed a remarkable simi-
lartty to the West Point-Yale game, in that
each side scored touchdown, and the winning
side made goal from placement after fair
catch, the opportunity for which was made By
superior punting, which drove the losing team
back to their goal line. -
Y Harvard seems to have played her usual game
against strong opponent, game similar to the
one played week ago against the army, in
which she never at any time showed the full
strength Of which the crimson is capable but
came forward with just enough of championship
quality to win out in the end.
1t Is Coach Reid's well-k policy to hold
back for the Yale game, to suffer reverses If
necessary, should an opponent prove bit strong
er than anticipated, and to vary not whit
the gradual slow and sure preparation that shall

1t is wise policy and it explains why GRIM

Princeton furnishes a contrast. The tigers
play football from start to finish They are as
fierce and wideawake a bunch when they first
get together in September as they are in the
last minute Of the Yale game in November.
Every man Is usually doing his best all the time
consequently Princeton has in the past some
times reached the top notch of form too soon
and as result has been overconfdent.

GETTING READY FOR
FLORIDA COAST RACES

The publication Of the program Of events for
the fifth annual Ormond-Daytona Beach (F1a.)
automobile meet started the critics going. It
Is we'll known that no race-meet promoters ever
succeeded in satisfying everybody. If the sug-
gestions Of every driver were embodied in a
race program 1t would embrace enough events
to last thru the entire Florida season.
The Florida East Coast Automobile associa-
ton, therefore. decided, after consultation with
competent advisers, to give pragrom that would
meet the wishes Of the greatest number and
at the same time provide a meet that would
give the best results from a racing and record
point Of view. ,-.a .s-,-~t Is
Speaking of the advance criticism and sug.
gestions before the program made its appear
Coast association at his office, Broadway and
Eighty fifth street, New York, said among
the critics and advisers in regard to the fifth
annual program were at least two foreigners
that have never appeared in Florida, and posi-
bly, never will, for the simple reason that the
game in Florida is a little swifter than the
game is In any other part Of the world. Hun
dred-nile records on three tires and mile In
are not made on the other side. and many OF
the foreign drivers know that fact and there
fore give Florida wide berth. -:
"Our association will always be glad to listen
to competent critics who take part In the
nual races in Florida, but advice from non
competitors is seldom sought and little needed.
There has been some criticism in regard to So
called freak cars. 1t has become the general
be labeled freak cars because they are not 1t to
drive as touring cars on the public road, so that
every car engaged in great road races and are
purely OF racing type must necessarily be freak
cars. ~ It Is those freak cars, however, that
make the worlds records. 1t was the car from
London. driven by the English boy, Walter
Clifford carp, that made the worlds record for
the hundred miles. It accepted type
of racing that made the two miles inside of
q minute, driven by Demogoet, the Frenchman,
the car being French production. 1t was
steam car built in America thaS made the mile
in % Is and was driven by an American. 1t
is, therefore, up to the ruling misunderstanding
bodies to determine what Is and what Is not a
freak racing car, the present rules of Europe
and America do not cover the point. All that
is demanded is that the cars come within the
heavyweight classification Of 2,2o4 pounds. In
this connection it Is well to remember that
A. L. Guinness Of Dublin has recently been
making at least European records with the
French car used by Demogoet last winter in

Chicago Game.
BY o'LouahIIn.

Minnesota settles down to business this at
ternoon in the last stage Of the polishing up for
Chicago Saturday. All over the west the big
football game at Marshall field is the sole topic
of conversation among rooters. The compare
tiye dope" on the teams Is without any founda-
tion. Neither team has met an eleven which has
played the other. and both coaches have been
playing fox. Each team has chance to win.
Nebraska unquestonably showed unexpect-
ed strength of attack and defense that was
embarrassingly adequate to Minnesota whose at
tack was limited to straight fcotball-for a pur-
pose. Scoring on straight football under the
new rules is a tremendous task and takes
power that can hardly be estimated. Minneso-
ta's touchdown in the beginning Of the second
half, when the ball was taken from Nebraska's
4O-yard line, straight up the field and was
a wonderful performance, when 1t is consd-
cred. -.st ra- .-.s
1t went up on straight football with no gain
less than three yards approximately, nor greater
than eight. Seeing this after half devoid of
anything save spectacular attack by Nebras-
ka and mediocre altho stubborn defense by
Minnesota, it Is small wonder that Professor
Stagg is quoted saying that he thinks Mime

Tay in Hearts of Nebraskans

TO hold the mighty gophers more than level
in the first half twice endangering their goal,
was an achievement unexpected In the ranks OF
cornhusker supporters and salves the wounds Of
defeat, which did not come until the final mo-
ments Of the struggle. It was frankly admitted
at Nebraska that Minnesota possessed the more
formidable eleven, and there is solace in the
realization thatzthe cornhuskers were overcome
by an aggregation ranking with the strongest
in the college world. ~
]. Coach Foster, In discussing the contest, said:
Nebraska, to make it plain, was up against
a stronger, heavier and more experienced eleven.
Naturally; am grateful to kno what we made
so good q showing. The Ames defeat was a
splendid thing for the Nebraska team. After
that the boys took q brace and began playing
real football y guess that the Minnesota root
ers win not deny that we played that kind of
q game Saturday. i think the luck was against
us, however, in the first half otherwise we
should have scored. It was clean contest and
free from muckerism or roughness. I wish to
give the Minnesota players credit for fair sports
nanship Next year hope we win have an
other. chance to even up for Saturdays defeat,
for / believe we would stand good chance
to beat them. = t5 u "A.

ILLINI NOT so SURE
ABOUT THE BADGERS
Journal Special Service.

Urbana. ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Wisconsin's decisive de-
feat of Iowa sent cold shivers into the Illinois
camp, where the badgers are held in a lot more
respect since they trimmed the hawkeyes. For
some reason other the lllini had obtained an
idea that they were a lot better than their
opponents of next Saturday, and despite the
warnings of the coaches, it was hard to remove
this impression.
Assistant Coach Jimmy Cook was an observer
at Madison yesterday, and on his return today
he gave considerable light the situation. for
little was known about the cardinals except
that they defeated Iowa. Cooks report was
followed by a conference Of the coaches at
which plans to confound the invaders from Mad
ison were discussed.
It 1t probable that Coach Lindgren will order
the gates closed and hold secret practice this
week while plays are tried out for Saturdays
game. Much dependence is placed on big Moyn-
Than for Saturday, as the veteran played end
grandly Saturday and to have rapidly
adapted himself to the position. He will greatly
brace the team. Now If Captain Carrithers
should be able to play, the Illint would feel
that the badgers could never circle the local
ends. But Carrithers' is still dubious,
and his services cannot be banked Mackey
would be a prominent contender for end if
Carrithers is out, but the track team man has a
bad shoulder that handicaps him greatly Stew
art has shown promise and may be the pick.
