Manual Trainers Will Not Have Best Men
in Line-Up-Lack Of Scoring Plays
Is Very Noticeable.

itself. Provided the team improves. as it
is expected to improve. 1t is more than
possible that 1t will do even better than
that.
There is one particularly noticeable
thing about the play Of the different
elevens this year which are nearly OF the
same strength, and that is the lack OF
scoring power. Taking the games this
year in which two teams of about the
is noticed that there has been q great
deal Of trouble in making touchdowns,
which there never was until the present
code came into existence. Inside the 10
yard line it is particularly noticeable that
there is a decided lack OF plays which
may be depended on to gain ground. This
Is true for the simple reason that the
different teams play a wide-open defense
in the middle Of the field. but when they
get down near their goal, where there Is
less danger Of having a lucky forward
pass made. it closes up and makes 1t ex-
tremely hard to win the necessary 10
yards in the three downs.
1t is certain that Techs play today will
be watched by more than one high school
coach and player. Tech has always been
the hardest nut TO crack In the local
schools. and that It is still feared by the
other schools Is certain, even though 1t
has as yet failed to put as good an eleven
in the field this fall as those which 1t has
turned out in the past.
Harvard is on the anxious seat In re-
gard to the Brown game next Saturday.
The Crimson has just about decided that
1t viii. be necessary to put forth Its pest
efforts against the Providence eleven II 1t
expects to win. Brown showed by out
generating Pennsylvania and outplaying
the Red and White eleven in almost every
department that Harvard has something
on which to base Its fears OF not securing
victory. Brown Is said to have the most
versatile attack OF any eleven In the
country, and has an excellent quarter
back to direct its play. which In itself Is
a big advantage.
1t is doubtful IL two Of the big
elevens, members OF the so-called big
four, have ever been defeated on the
same day before this year by minor
college elevens. While the Army Is
hardly to be considered as minor
foot ball institution any more. 1t has
never been ranked with the four big
elevens. Pennsylvania and Yale were
the two members OF the big four which
received trimm nge at the hands OF
the smaller schools Saturday. Three
years ago the teams mentioned would
have felt that It was a virtual defeat
to have had their goal lines crossed.
They seldom made special preparation
for them, but now conditions are diff
ferent and the big schools are decided
ly chary about some OF their smaller
games before they are played.

as follows:
"There are several points Of contrast

Technical eleven the formidable aggre-
cation that 1t has always been in past

comes eligible, which there seems little
doubt that he will Morris will make
! Tech a much stronger team on the offense,
and that is just where it needs strength.
The Manual Trainers SO far this year
have shown a lack Of scoring power, and
this Is what Morris would undoubtedly
add to the eleven.
Just what Tech will do to Eastern is
questionable. The showing Of the elevens
so far would seem to indicate that Tech
has not such a great team as those which
have represented it during past seasons
and would not appear to show that the
Maroon and Gray will run up good
score on the Eastern eleven. Eastern
will put forth its best foot, as 1t were,

strenuous work for the Princeton foot
ball team was allowed by keene Fitz-

which promise to be one of the most
critical in the development OF the team
was ushered in with long signal drill
and practice in punting.
The only hard work permitted was In
breaking through and blocking for the

repeat their work of last Saturday, when
they broke through and b ocked two kicks
at Annapolis. and Penfield was able to
get every one of his kicks or in good

In this practice Duff was used at right
xuard in place OF Brown, and he played
q strong game. Duff's playing against the
Navy attracted considerable attention,
and with Eddie Hart he was largely re-

try at q field goal. He always has been q
strong player. and II he could only see

varsity long ago.
