pacity-those which fight it out at the end
of the year for varsity honorS-are max
ing no particular effort this season to dis
play their greatest scoring ability in the
earlier games.
OF the larger teams there seem to be
only two which have 'let out a link" to
use colloquialism, merely to test their
scoring power. These are Yale and Har-
ward The former tried its men in the
game against Washington and jefferson
and the latter against the Springfield
Training School. Pennsylvania is not in
Guided in this category. for Pennsylvania
went further than both when 1t played
the Indians. That game was unquestion-
ably a contest on both sides to win. No
hindrance was put on the scoring power
of either team. The contest was prima-
rily. secondarfy and finally to triumph
and both teams We're out to the limit to
secure a victory if possible.
From the reports of the Dartmouth
Holy Cross game it may be imagined that
Dartmouth was not slack In trying its
strength in that contest. Possibly the
team was not pushed, but it looks as II
the Dartmouth coaches were feeling out
the ability of their formations to get past
a line with sufficient safety and gain to
count for points.
Worked the Players Too Hard.
For two or three years it has been sug-
geSted from time to time that some of the
varsity teams were being pushed too hard
early in the season. The players seemed
TO be seized with mania to score when
they faced elevens which were much
weaker Three years ago there was al
most as much rivalry to see who could
run up the highest score as there was to
win some of the games.
No particular good was done to the
players even though they obtained plenty
of team practice. 1t used up so much vi
tally and when games were played later
in the year, where endurance was neces-
sary the exerton OF earlier contests in
which the men had wearied themselves in
scoring frequently told severely upon the
contestants. This season it looks as If all
the coaches by tacit agreement had de-
cided that they would reserve their
charges as much as possible and still seek
to obtain as good results as they could in
the matter of practice
Nothing Easy Ahead.
There is reason for it in the case of
more than one. Princeton, for instance
comes on now with three hard games in

later at end rush. This shifting of adapt
able players serves to make a number of
men in the squad capable of filling in as
substitutes In more than one place. and
helps out in the open play on outside
kicks and forward passes, where quick
thinking is essential.
Hobbs and Andrus, the big fellows, who
are just coming back into play, remained
throughout the whole afternoons work.
This is most encouraging to the coac4.es.
