CAMP HOLDS
BROWN HIGH

Walter Camp. the well-known football
critic. in reviewing the progress of the
football season considers Brown a strong
eleven this year and likely to give Penn
sylvania hard battle. He says:
Brown may fairly be regarded as one
OF the danger points for anybody she
meets this season. With Mayhem. who
was wonder last year. TO do the start
ling things and with the rest OF the
team well balanced and strong. they are
likely to come very fast in November.
They were expected 10 do better against
Pennsylvania last year than they did. for
Pennsylvania had been having early sea-
son reverses and Brown was looked
upon as strong. In 1906 -Pennsylvania was
able TO win out only by a score OF TO s,
but last year Pennsylvania had one OF
her best days of the early season. and
Brown suffered defeat, IA to 0. Pennsyl-
vania certainly will be better than last
year, but will DE be fortunate with VIC
tory as decisive.
"At Pennsylvania they are working to-
ward increased steadiness, and by this to
avoid the horrible succession Of heart
breaking ups and down which came to
the Red and Blue in the first month or
so of last season.
AT Princeton green line Is being
hammered into shape in front OF an ex-
celent and veteran field back. III their
schedule is properly arranged. Princeton
ought to succeed in perfecting this de-
yelopment, but il in her early season
games she meets n veteran line that is
heavy and powerful, IL may result In Civ
ing her backs too much to do and use
them up. The schedule does not. with
the exception of possibly the Cornell con-
test, look as IL IL contained any such
mishap.
''The Indians under Warner and John
son are setting the highest pace I'm point
of speed OF any of the teams, and II
they can be he held at their best surely
promise a wonderful season. The diff
Guilty is to keep these men up. They are
always liable to get a good team on the
run. as thsy did Pennsylvania last year,
and give them a terrific drubbing. On
the other hand. in their Harvard game
last season while playing good. steady
football, they never cut loose, and
seemed perfectly content TO hold the
game where IL was. Warner understands
them we'll and should be able to get the
most consistent work OF anyone out OF
them"
