New York. Oct. 25.--In two of the
big four" football camps this week.
strenuous programs have been laid
out that are intended either ~ make
or break the varsity teams. The
camps are Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania.
Princetons defeat by Lafayette
Saturday, to 0. and Pennsylvania's
tie game with Pennsylvania state,
to g. have convinced the coaches
| that these teams must be driven as
never before for the remaining half
/ of the season. Strange as 1t may
| seem. today's reports from Prince
| ton are that the coaches are fair
! IS well' satisfied with every feature
! Of Saturdays game except the score.
The Tiger team showed a vast i'm
provement in this game, and only lost
I through an unfortunate play in the
last minute of play. The great need
of the Tiger team, it was clearly
shown, is more ginger and stamina.
All the big gains made by Princeton
were nullifed by the simple fact that
when the team reached the crucial
point in every march il started for
! Lafayette's goal. its attack weakened
and stamina.
In the matter of new football"
Princeton demonstrated that she has
SO lar failed to pay much attention
to 1t. The least bit of versatility
should have won for the Tigers. ms
Lafayette was hopeless against
Princteons strong defense.

None of the big teams has a nart
