PUNTS AND PASSES

Princeton has rolled up 237 points in
five games.
That defeat at New York yesterday IS
one of the worst ever suffered by
Georgetown team.
Eddie Hart, the former Exeter star, is
playing football at Princeton Prep School
and distinguished himself in the game
with LawrencevIle by making two touch
downs. The score was Is TO l6-
Hurry-Cp Yost is in favor of a longer
schedule for his team, the conference
rules which make few games impera-
tive not being calculated to give an
eleven a chance for practice contests.
High tackllng was one Of the greatest
weaknesses of the George Washington
team yesterday. The line must also be-
come more aggressive if it hopes 10 cope
with any set of forwards Of equal weight.
Dunn. the State College man, who was
selected as center for the All-American
team last year, Is responsible for the
great line which the State Collegians pre-
sented In the Cornell game. He has been
looking after the forwards.
The problem at Cambridge regarding
the half back situation is as unsettled as
ever Lockwood and Gilbert, the pair
that are being played, are but make
shift. Lockwood seems TO lack nerve,
and Gilbert cannot be relied upon for
clean handling OF the ball.
Ted" Coy, YaIe's great fun back, is but
nineteen years old and looks like an
/ awkward schoolboy Of fifteen, yet a
more fearless football player never wore
moleskn. He has developed into punter
Of marked ability, and can boot the ball
/ for kicks averaging fifty yards in dis
tance.
/ The Lafayette-Co Colgate game brought
up a point which was not decided, ac-
cording to the strict letter Of the rules,
! II the reports of the game are true A
fourth down brought the ball on the goal
/ line, but not over. The officials refused
a touchdown when it should have been
allowed.
! On the Yale scrub team are Hobbs, the
| former Dartmouth tackle; Warren, a
/ guard from Pennsylvania State, and An
/ drus, the guard who had to go back to
| the freshman class on account Of scholar
! ship standing. They ara considered valu-
able timber for next years varsity
eleven.
/ Harvard's right tackle. Fish. has i'm
proved so much during the past two
weeks that he is at present the leading
man for the Job. In action he resembles
/ Biglow. of Yale and is just as keen at
| following the ball. Biglow, owing 10 his
/ experience, is the superior of Fish on the
defense.
When Brown plays Harvard at the
/ Stadium November there will be two
/ special trains and a brass band TO ac-
commodate the Providence undergrad
/ yates who are planning to accompany
the team. Brown rOOters are already Of
fering wagers that their team will cross
the Harvard goal line.
oscar Osthof, full back Of the Wis
consin team and mainstay Of the Badger
backfeld, broke the clavicle bone OF his
right shoulder in a scrimmage, and as
a result may be out OF the game for
the remainder Of the season. The acci-
dent happened four minutes before praC-
tice closed, when Osthof, in an effort
TO make the third down over right guard,
was tackled by Boyd.
Among those who saw the Harvard
Annapolis game on Saturday were Lieuts.
/ GHIispie, Graves, and Rockwell all former
West Point players, while Lieut. Byron
A Long, United States navy, a Navy
star, saw the Yale-West Point game at
West Point. These exchanges Of visits
prior to the Army Navy game occur an
nually. and the repre- esentatives of the
other service are always welcomed and
given side-line privileges.
Bill Newman. last years Cornell center,
who is coaching the Indian second eleven,
has made wonderful headway, and Is much
/ thought of by the Indians Newman
| knows football TO a standstill, and has
| certainly communicated lot Of enthusi-
asm to his hot shots, as the Indians des-
/ ignate their second team. The new IN
dian training quarters are admirably
adapted TO their use, and every comfort
/ IS provided for the gridiron heroes.
Speaking Of the work of PENIS captain
in the Brown game Roy Reeves, IN the
Philadelphia Public Ledger says: Capt
FolweIl again showed that he is a
peerless leader and the best offensive
and defensive back playing football to-
day. His tackling was demon-like. II
mattered not where the man was run
ming with the ball in the open field
around the end, through the line, Folwell
was sure to be there to intercept him
| While his tireless playing has made nc
visible effect upon his physical condition
