line. At ithaca, Cornell found tough Gus
toner in Colgate, and neither side could
I score point, almost duplicating the game
OF yean ago, which was lilo in Cornell s
favor Harvard beat Williams to 0, but
could not cross her opponents goal line,
two fumbles giving Harvard touchdown
and a safety. Princeton had an easy OPP
ponent in Villa Nova and won by "a to O..
Yale played her first game Of the year
on Wednesday, when Wesleyan was beate
81 to o. This game was looked forward
to with much interest because Yale has
posed as mentor in the reformed foot ball.
The additional fact that Walter Camp, who
| Is credited with great many of the new
plays, Is Ya!e's advisory coach increased
interest in seeing what Yale would do. The
Ellis played the new rules to the best Of
| their ability and got away with some for
| ward passes which brought the crowd to its
feet Yet Yale found the same difficulty In
operating this play that the other big teams
have encountered. In fact the Ellis have
little more love for the new rules than the
other big teams.
In the other mid-week games Pennsyl-
vania was outplayed by Gettysburg. though
the game ended in tie at 6-6. Princeton
won another easy victory, beating Stevens
p to 0. Cornell met Hamilton and
triumphed q to o, the Ithacans playing a
Saturday.
The demand for drop k:ckers made at
the start Of the present season is being
answered quickly. In Wednesdays games
there were three field goals made in con-
tests played by members of the big Five"
Sieber, the Gettysburg captain, scored
against Pennsylvania with a drop kick at
bad angle from the fortyyard line. He
just missed another from the thirty-fve
yard mark. In the Harvard Owdoin game
Burr of Harvard place-kicked a goal from
the thirty -eight-yard mark. Finally, Har-

against Stevens. The man who promises to
develop into one Of the best drop kickers
is the east is Vorh.s. the quarter back Of
a goal from field in every game he has
played this year and In two games he
scored twice. Vorhis is only a freshman,
having played last year with the New YORK.

1t would be hopeless task at this stage
of the game to attempt to compare the
strength Of the leading elevens of the east.
Considering only the first two games, 1t
must be admitted that Princeton looks best.
The Tigers have put up a strong attack.
using the open running game to its best
advantage. Yale had a tough customer In
Wesleyan, but won out with plenty to
spare. Pennsylvania has been weakened
by the temporary loss of Capt. Greene.
Draper and Zlegler, all stars OF the HrSt
magnitude. With them in the game things
may look brighter Cornell had very
strong opponent in Colgate, and may be
pardoned that 90 score. The 1thacans have
a fast back field, and will gain strength as
the season advances. Harvard does not
look well adapted to the new rules and
has played a poor game so far this year.

While all this agitation is going on about
the roughness of Rugby foot ball, the advo-
Gates of the association game in the differ
ent colleges are hard at work planning their
campaigns The Intercollegiate League
promises to be stronger organization than
ever this winter The last season was
very successful one teams competing from
PENNSYLVANIA, Harvard. Haverford, Cor
nell, Princeton and Columbia. The Prince
ton team, which obliged to withdraw
from the league because of the opposition
of the faculty, which refused to sanction
games away from home, will probably re-
