One foot ball problem seems to have
| been solved. A strong line with rea'
sonably good or indifferent backfield
call it which you may. appears to be
| able to defeat a strong backfleld with
only reasonably good line.
That's the result at Princeton epito-
mized
One week ago a newspaper called
attention to the fact that there was
tendency to overrate the ability
of Princeton. Some had it that the
Tigers would walk over Yale and grind
the poor Ellis fiatter than they were
ground by Brown. The writer could not
be convinced that such was the proper
light in which to look at the game. If
Princeton had shown more against Dart
mouth than it did there would have been
reason--better reason at least-for the
wonderful predictions as to the Tigers
superiority.
Naturally after Brown beat Yale with
such a man handling 1t looked as il the
Ellis were to be defeated by Princeton.
At least it Seemed SO to those who had
taken a casual glance at the situation.
1t did not appear so to Yale. It did
ton al no time this year, in spite Of the
admirable work which has been done by
the eleven. has played as well as Brown
did against Yale Go even further and
observe that Princeton has not played
as well as Brown played against Har-
ward and it will be not anliss OF the
truth.
Princeton Has Done Well.
Princeton has been placed on pedesal
which was q little too high for the team
The players have done WELL There has
not been an eleven in the Jungle" for the
last five or six. years which has played
better foot ball for what there is In 1t.
Roper coached his players to do their
best with what they had to do, but at no
time has the Princeton line ever seemed
to be strong to matter-of-fact critics who
were looking for results in the future as
we'll as results in the present.
One quarterback and one end made such
a change in the Yale eleven Saturday
that its best friends scarcely knew 1t.
Throughout all of the contest against
Brown Yale was weak because there was
40 one to protect the punts of the 4
backs. In catching the bali SpracklinE
was not a single instance where he was
hurried. Usually he gained about IL yards
in running back with the ball. That
meant that a great deal of the Yale
punting was going for nothing.
No result Of that description was in
evidence last Saturday. When Howe
punted the ball for Yale-and he did most

complexioned young man looking up into

Another Incident.

|, There are some who have insisted that
here has been trouble at Yale all Of the
year because fitzpatrick felt hurt that he
vas not elected as captain of the foot
,all eleven this season. Many folks out
ide of Yale think that he should have
been made the captain in view Of the
treat work that he did for his university
n 1869, but he was not. Daily was chosen
20 be leader of the eleven and Fitzpatrick
vas chosen to lead the track team.
If Fitzpatrick felt hurt last Saturday be-
cause he had not been selected for the
aptaincy Of the eleven this season Yale
hould numerously sign petition that he
feel doubly hurt next Saturday when
Yale plays against Harvard.
There is no end this year like Kill

The fact that Fitzpatrick was playing

Princeton to lose. but, after ALL when the

They knew that the Tigers had a good

bad foot ball, but they did not expect
that Yale would give the game to Prince

school foot ball similar to that which lost
the game to Brown.

FOOT BALL NOTES.

Almost unparalleled in the history of
athletics is the action of the West Vir-
ginia University authorities in having the
left end Of the Bethany College foot bail
team arrested for the murder OF Munk
the captain of the former eleven. The
game I'm general. as it was played te-
tween the two teams, was a disgrace t.
int cr.'e~i3tf athlet cs. 1t was almost
. free fight from the time the referee $
Isu.se-e DfS" Us.tii me ED. The pnrity o
athletic sport in that region has AWAY s
been severely questioned, and the fac
that Bethany College played Mccoy. the
end who admits that he struck Munk on
the back Of the head with his fist, under
the name of Gardiner does not help to
clear the matter up any. There was. a
. cog loose somewhere. II does not happen
that men can be played on college teams
under assumed names without the sane
ion of some one in authority. Such in
stances as this should not cause people t.
iscry against the roughness of the game.
simply because there happens to be one
rad stick in the pile doesn't condemn the
rest of IL.
re game between George Washingtot
and Buckneli two years ago, on Thanks
giving day, will recall taat Munk was
the man who played quarterback for the
Pennsylvanians, that day. II was he who
pulled of the forward pass that gave
them touchdown early in the game.
and came near winning it in the last few
seconds with drop kick.
While the charges will hardly be presse /
against the Bethany player. it will I'M
doubtedly have a wholesome effect on ath-
