THE GRlDIRON ---------------------------- REVIEW OF THE SEASON Princeton is Away Ahead in Scoring Up to the Present Time
 Other News.

Princeton has run her total of
 points away beyond the 200 mark
 and is easily ahead of all the rest in
 scoring. Her nearest competitor is
 Pennsylvania, who is eleven points
 shy of 200, with the Indians having
 one less point than the Pennsylvan-
 ians. Yale stood still last week in the point of accumulation, as did West
 Point, but both of these teams have a
 clean slate of the other side of the scoring question. Yale West Point Amherst, Dartmouth, Exeter and
 Tufts in the east have not been SCOT 1 ed on, and in the west Michigan has blanked all of her opponents.
 Princeton's total of 237 is the equivalent of 391a touchdowns, or within a fraction of eight touchdowns
 game. That is exceptional scoring
 and the sort to give future opponents
 grave pause. The Tiger scoring has been evenly distributed throughout
 sameness in the strength of the op-
 posing teams and steady ground gain
 ing by Nassau. The ideal schedule
 for team would be that which pro- vided gradations from game to game that would temper gradually increas-
 ing severity of test with one or two opportunities to ease up after par ticularly trying game. For instance
 Yale gets comparatively easy game after the West Point battle, hut the change from Holy Cross was too pro- int to another which yields no points is a suddenness of variety in the strength of opponents calculated to bother any team.
 Yale's schedule for the first month found one extremely easy game sand Wiched in with three stiff ones, the scores by Yale in the four game coming in this order: Ii, IS, 52 and 0. Harvard's point record has not consisted of such a sweeping swing from one extreme to the other, the Crimson's points having been made in this order: 5, 30, 33, IS and 6 Schedules, however, are largely guess work, for nobody can foresee what an opponent will bring forth. The La fayette eleven, like Princeton. has made double figures in every one of it's games, and with one exception there has been a notable sameness in the number of points made against opponents, Lafayette's total having been made in the following order: 22 21, 43 and 21.
 Drop kicking was rampant in Sat urday's games, there being nearly a score of them, the Minnesota and the Pennsylvania state teams each max ing two and winning on that account With a crack drop kicker at Penn sylvania, another good one at Car lisle and two skilful ones at Swarth- | more the state of Pennsylvania comes | kickers. An II to II score in one | game and an IS to 17 result in an- other were among the potpourri of happenings on Saturday. The totals l of the different elevens follow:
