Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-11-06

the end OF the first half 6 to o, but the
Yale team came back and. scored two
tolichdowns in the final period, making
the score 12-6. Princeton men are there
fore somewhat backward in claiming too
much in advance of the game.
In comparing the material on the two
teams it is evident that each has one
backfield star. Princeton has the ad-
vantage in this respect Her star ground
gamer is Pendfeton, and he Is undoubt-
eddy one of the best halfbacks on the
college gridiron today. He won the
Lafayette game with 80 score, made
much of the ground against the Indians
and beat Dartmouth 60 with a brilliant
seventy-flve yard run. He cannot be
matched by any man on the Yale eleven.
In the backfield Princeton also has
Ballou and Sparks, two first-class all
around men. In the line Primo ton like
wise has two stars in Capt. Hart, at
tackle and Wilson at guard. They look
to be better than any man Yale has.
The Yale stars are Howe, Philbin and
Fitzpatrick, not to mention Capt. DAILY.
Howe played quarterback last year, and
i'm the Harvard game, while he did not
shine like Coy, he was just as much a
factor in Yale's success as the big full
back himself. He proved in that game
that he was a heady field general and
Princeton cannot duplicate him. Yale
men are looking to Fitzpatrick to stop
Pendleton'S dazzling runs. There is no
better end in the country than Fitzpatrick.
and after he has tackled a man a few
times that individual is likely to pick
his way very carefully in future attempts
at end running.
An Intersectional Battle.
Another big game for next Saturday Is
the fifth annual contest between Penn
sylvania and Michigan at Philadelphia.
OF these series Pennsylvania has won
three times and Michigan once. There
is very little to choose between the two
elevens at this writing. for they have
not played any common opponent. There
is just one method of making a COM
parison, and that is favorable to Michi-
gan. The Wolverines beat Syracuse last
week, Ito, while two weeks earlier SYRIA
cuse beat the Indians by a 14-O score.
Pennsylvania defeated the Indians, 17-5.
BY this logic Michigan would be IL
points stronger than Pennsylvania, but
the conditions under which the various
games were played were so different that
such reasoning IL extremely dangerous.
The Pennsylvania eleven, while it has
been playing brilliant foot ball, has
even the coaches never know what to
expect from week to week. What seems
to worry them most is the lack of pro-
portion between the backfield and the
line. Without any doubt pennsylvania
has the fastest backfield in the country,
nearly every man being a ten-second
sprinter, as well as strong physically.
If the line were so strong the Rel and
Blue could not be defeated. Against
the Indians the line was very weak, and
the Redmen tore it up for so yards and
a touchdown. That the Indians did not
beat Pennsylvania was due almost en-
tirely to the individual brilliancy of the
backfield and the resourcefulness OF
Quarterback Scott.
For the last week Pennsylvania has
been making heroic efforts to strengthen
the line. They have induced Terrier. last
years tackle, and Heilman, also of the
1909 team, to report. 1t is intended to
make a guard out of Heilman, and II
these two veterans make good the Quaker
line problem will be pretty nearly. solid
With a good line Ramsdell, who is the
1OO-yard intercollegiate and English
champion sprinter, and Mercer, another
sprinting back of ability, will be able tc
get away for long runs and also make
substantial progress through the line
These two men. with SCOTS fine. kicking
