Yale Men Say Best Plan Under
Rules is to Have Good
Defense
TEAMS WIN THEIR
POINTS ON FLUKES

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Nov 24-While
football men throughout the country
are smiling at what they call Prince
ton Luck" the old wise men Of the
game at New Haven see something
more than mere luck in the loss Of
Saturdays game to the Tigers. All OF
a sudden they have discovered that
the science of football under the pres
ent rules must be Of strictly a mega
tive construction. They have found
that it is OF little use to develop a
system OF attack as long as the rules
call for a ten-yard gain on three
downs. The whole game hereafter
must be one of defense, and Tom
Shevlin declares that in the future
the scores will grow smaller and
smaller. Without accident two we'll
drilled teams ought to play all day
without scoring.
Princeton evidently realized this
ahead OF Yale. They waited patient
ly for that accident and when it came
there was a man ready to take adj
vantage Of It and that is how the
Tigers won.
In other words, the idea is to waste
no time in trying to gain the neces-
sary ten yards, but to put il up to the
other fellow and bet him that he
can't BY keeping the ball i'm their
possession longer the Yale men had
more chances to make fumbles and
Princeton saw that the Bulldog had
ample opportunity. This style Of
game finally told.
II was thought for a while that the
forward pass would make it possible
to overcome the ten-yard rule and. in
consequence would make the play
open. The forward pass was all right
for little while, but it has seen its
best day Princeton has not tried It
at all this year. Yale tried it once
Saturday, but it resulted in failure.
Unless the ten-yard rule is changed
the game of football is going to re-
suit in nothing more than a kicking
duel with each side waiting for the
other to make tumble. Eighty per
cent of this years victories have been
the result of fumbles. Formations for
tine attack will have to be abandoned.
The thing to work on now is defense.
There Is another feature OF that
famous Princeton victory that should
come in for a little notice. That
Princeton outplayed Yale in handling
the ball Is shown by the fact that tho
/ Blue team made nine fumbles, while
the Tiger made but two. Five o.
the times that Yale fumbled Princeton
recovered the ball. Only once di'
: Yale get the ball away from Princeton
} In a tumble. Another noteworth,
b fact is that White got the ball fou
times out OF the five that Princeton
took il away from Yale.
4 This would Indicate that White
touchdowns I'm the Yale and Haryar,
games were not altogether due tC
luck. II was his wonderful skill il
following the ball at all times. No
once has he been misled by interfer
ences. When Dunn let the pass &c
by him Saturday, White, instead %
following the supposed play around
the end kept his eye on the ball. Th'
{. minute It was fumbled It was easy
for him to pick it up and dart for the
goal line. There was no other Prince
ten man and only one Yale man neal
the ball when White got Il. On three
other occasions in that hard-foughf
game he was on top the ball and re.
covered Il after fumbles.

RESERVE ASSOCIATION PLAN.

At the annual meeting of the Iowa
bankers of Group 6 in Des Moines
last Friday the speaker of the even
ing was Charles G. Dawes, former
comptroller of the currency, who dis
cussed the subject of currency reform
and presented the plans Of the Amer.
lean bankers.
Mr.. Dawes said the reserve asso-
citation plan, as advocated by Senator
Aldrich. is better proposition than
the central bank scheme. He declared
that the reserve association plan had
all the advantages without any OF the
disadvantages of the central bank
plan. Among those mentioned by him
were the preservation of the present
Independent banking system, the as
surance of proper supervision Of the
Central Reserve association by the
methods of selecting the boards of the
local associations, the withdrawal Of
the association from business trans
actions with the general community
and the unlikelihood OF the system be-
ing subjected to demagogic attacks.

the country could not tell whether a
cows horns are before or behind its
ears. So distressed were the col
leagues OF the member who thus re-
yealed his ignorance that a bill was
passed compelling the teaching OF
simple facts of agriculture in the pub
lie schools. There are many city peo-
pie who do not know what COW looks
like, so one has been put in the New
York Zoo for their benefit. The Buffalo
Commercial suggests that when the
class in cowology knows the answer
about the horns and ears, let some
bright member tell which end of the
COW gets UP first after a rest in the
pasture.
