NOTES FROM THE GRIDIRON.

Twenty thousand handsome women are
praying that the sun will shine next Sat
urday. It's dreadfully distressing to have
to hide ones beauty and comelness in
wet-weather wraps.
Any coach who will not reprimand his
players for holding can have no excuse to
offer If a game is lost because of a penal
ty enforced for violation of the rule
Very few players have been removed
from the game this year for smuggling or
rouhing ii.
This week the Indians travel all the way
to Minneapolis to see what they can do to
the University of Minnesota.
Dave Campbell has agreed to join the
coaching staff at Harvard. Judging by
some of the comments on the Harvard
Indian game. what the Crimson needs
most Is a visit from odd Chief Tabasco"
One of the Boston newspapers very peril
nently remarks that foot ball is not a
pink tea party.
Grant made himself so busy against
the Indians that sugge stions are being
made to Harvard to Shift him from center
to end.
The question that agitates Ann Arbor,
Mich. is whether the Penn is mightier
than the Wolverine.
Yale did not begin to be so busy against
West Point as Cornell. 1t is no wonder
that the Army was scored upon. The
greater wonder Is that the Army kept the
Cornell score so low.
Faith in the Harvard coaching system
seems rudely shocked, as It were.
In the three games played by the In
dams against PENNSYLVANIA. Harvard and
Princeton. the Carlisle team scored 40
points to 81 for its three adverSartes
That's significant of anything but feeble
ness.
The Tiger is painting up his stripes
preparatory to emerging from the Yale
jungle.
Princetons team remains at Norfolk
Conn, for two days prior to the New
Haven game.
All the foot ball that Mount Pleasant
knows he learned right at Carlisle. Move
that some of the Indians be sent to coach
some OF the paleface teams.
CornelHs victory over the Army inspires
the confidence at Ithaca that now. having
beaten The Tigers and West Point. this is
Cornells year to beat Penn.
There Is more holding in the open file Id
under the new rules than when most Of
the attacking done through the rush
line.
The Phillips Andover team enjoys a
unique record. Although invariably out
weighed. Andover during the last three
years on the foot ball field has used only
one substitute in the games played.
1t means lot to Yale TO have scored
% points on Brown. no matter how it was
done, and to have kept its goal line clear.
Amherst and Williams meet this week.
Both teams have shown great improve
rnent as the season has advanced.
From all appearances the attendance
at the Michigan-Pennsylvania game on
Saturday will surpass that of the Chicago
| Michigan game of 1905 in Chicago. The
! first DAVIS sale shows that 1900 seats
! were disposed Of
| Vllanova won the championship among
| Catholic colleges Saturday by beating
! Fordham.
| Pennsylvania has a formation which
/ scored a touchdown in five plays from
/ Penn States 26-yard line.
/ The Indians scored 40 points on Penn
| syIvania. Princeton and Harvard, and
| these teams scored only 81 against them
| The Yale freshmen victory over the
! Tiger youngsters was decisive, and in
4 spires confidence in a win over the young
Ellis at Cambridge this week.
| Former stars are rallying to the aid
| of Yale. Frank Hinkey, Tom Shevlin
| and Jim Hogan the latest trio to join
! the New Haven coaching squad. In adj
! dition to these three the following are
| coaching: Head Coach Knox. Walter
| Camp, Clint Roraback. Ralph BIoomer,
! Foster Rockwell. John Hall. Paul Veeder,
Olcott and Carl Flanders.
| The general impression prevails that
Princeton did not attempt to show her
| full strength against Amherst, but saved
herself for the big game with Yale on
/ Saturday. The team will put on the fin
! ishing touches at Norfolk. Conn.
/ 1t is not at all improbable that field
goals NAV decide the Yale-Princeton
| game Princeton coaches expect to Guido
| Yale with the long forward pass In
secret a new long running pass has been
| successful
! Yale has great respect for princeton S
| ends and for the line -plunging ability of
! CAPT Mccormick and the defense of New
/ Haven has been built up to Offset the Sc
| supposed advantages.
