Yale, on the strength of its victory over
Princeton and the tie with Harvard, will
also put in it's finger for a portion of the
plum.
While Yale played Harvard to a tic
there are mighty few people who are
convinced that the 90 score is a real
criterion of the strength of the two
elevens. 1t is more than probable that
the Cambridge crowd was a little over
confident as to the final outcome offering
odds of 100 to 40 on the result. 1t seems
that when the Crimson failed to gain on
the first two or three plays tried - the
players went up in the air so high that
they failed to land. Corbet. the crack
Crimson halfback, is reported to have
wrung his hands and pulled his hair and
time the ball was fumbled or a play
messed by Harvard player. Nine
chances out of ten If the two teams
were to meet now the Bulldog would be
humbled decisively.
There will certainly be some battle on
the hilltop tomorrow If the dope does
not all go wrong. Georgetown awoke
from it's lethargy yesterday and put in
some mighty good ticks in preparation
for Lehigh. The team has shown on two
occasions that it is capable of coming out
of an apparent slump and play rafting
good foot ball. and it's safe bet that
that is just what it will do this time
unless something unforeseen happens
While the Blue and Gray eleven has a
mighty hard nut to crack in the Lehigfl
bunch. it will more than likely tighten
up and play alright ball against the
northerners, setting pace that will
cause them to go some II they win. Coach
Nielsen will have his charges keyed UP
they take the field, and it's dollars to
doughnuts that it will look like a different
team compared to what was shown
against V NJ. 1. last Saturday. Then it is
a sure thing that Dunn will start the
game in the backfield. and this alone will
be a big thing for the Hilltoppers. as the
hefty halfback is the most reliable ground
gamer on the squad.
While all the praise is being handed
out to the Georgetown team there is one
man who, while not brilliant player,
should come in for a big share Of 1t, as
it is due in no little measure to bis un-
firing efforts that q e team has been one
of the most successful that ever wore the
Blue and Gray. and that is Capt. Daley.
Daley, while he has never starred as an
individual performer, is saving wood all
the time. and can be depended on to hold
up his end Of the game This year he
has voluntarily accepted the responsible
ties of the managership of the team and
has looked after all those little things to
which it is the managers duty to at
tend. He is the type Of man that makes
the moding of a machine possible: the
rather than by brute force; the type that
does most to uplift the moral tone Of the
game. Had foot ball more Daileys it
would have less enemies.
The Maryland Aggies are up against
another hard proposition tomorrow, Wnen
they tackle the Western Maryland COL
lege eleven in Westminster, Md. 1t will
be bitter pill for whichever team loses.
as the two schools are rivals of long
standing. The last time the teams Of the
two colleges met was in 1905. when
Western Maryland won by a score OF
10 to o. after what was said to have
been the toughest game that was ever
played on the College Park gridiron. The
next year. 1906. the eleven were sched-
u1ed TO play in Westminster, but there
was row in the gym and the game was
never begun. Athletic relations Were
broken off at that time and have only
