New Haven. Conn.,, Nov. 23.-An
interesting question as to whether or
o the Princeton touchdown against
Yale in Saturdays. game was illegal
under the rules, has been raised by
followers Of the game. According to
section II. paragraph c of rule s:
When any portion of the person
Except the hands and feet) Of the
player carrying the ball touches the
ground when the player is in the
grasp of any opponent, the ball Is
dead"
In the opinion of those who saw the
play, Howe tackled White by tho leg
and downed him a yard and a half
from the Yale goal. Then both play
ers slid through the mud over the
Yale goal line. Section 8 OF rule s,
paragraph 5. provides:
The referee shall blow his whistle
or declare the ball dead when any
portion of his person (the runner'sl
except hands and feet, touches the
ground when he is in the grasp Of an

WORK NAY COST PLACE.

Captain Howe's wretched work
against the Tigers at New Haven may
take away from him the honor Of be.
ing quartz rback on the mythical ALL
American eleven. His work on kick
ing was horrible. due largely to the
fact that the Yale cartain was over
trained and out of condition. Knowing
that he was unable to kick effectively,
Howe showed poor g%encralship when
he insisted on trying that game. In
stead Of calling one of the other Yale
kickcrs back of the line to try for
field goals. Howe insisted OIL doing
the work himself. 1t was an exhibition
Of poor tactics. Of which the Yale cap
tain is rarely guilty. II may cost him

zYBYSzK0 MEETS
DULUTH HEAVY
Polish Wrestler Will Grap-
pie With Giant Finn
Soon
(By Bruce)

(By Bruce)
There is going to be a real wrestling
contest next monht. not one of those
exhibitions. when stanislaus Zbyszko
and Pilakoff get together in a finish
match of brute strength. a battle be-
tween two of the strongest men in the
world. Not for two years has Zbyszko
mas been seen in Duluth. On the oc-
caston of his first and also his last
appearance here he met Chris Per-
son at h armory. The big hall was
packed with the countrymen Of the ia
NOUS wrestler, women and even chill
dren being in the big audience. Whole
families of Polish people were there
to watch the work of zbyszko.
While the contest was good while 1t
lasted, Person was no match for the
big man from Europe. The strength
of the Polish wrestler was colossal and
any of the holds that Chris would
get would be broken like reeds in the
hands Of a strong man.
This Is h first season that Duluth
has had a man who can go against the
best wrestlers in the country and make
a showing-put up battle that will
give the lovers Of the game their mon
ey's worth. Any time Pilakoft steps
on the mat the people who come to
the match are sure of a contest that
will be full Of action and one too.
where the opponent of Pliakof. no
matter how good he is. can not make
him look like a baby. The wonderful
strength of the huge Finn renders him
a fit opponent for most any man in the
world.
1t might be stated also that efforts
are being made to get Karl Lehto to
wrestle Pilakon before the waning of
the present season. Lehto claims the
Finnish heavyweight championship Of
the world. On the other hand Pilakod
claims nothing-but he is willing and
anxious to wrestle.
Should Pilakon and Lehto meet In
this city to decide the Finnish heavy
weight title, the match would be the
first worlds championship match ever
wrestled in this city. During the his
tory of wrestling here We have ever
had, as far as inquiry goes to show,
any whestring match in which there
was more than some local title involv-
ed. and sometimes the local title was
borrowed for the occasion.
In the s OF a Sailor Jack and
Young Miller match, there would be
a worlds title involved.
Speaking of the Sailor, he has writ
ten that he will be here on the fifth
of next month. And speaking further
of wrestling 1t might be said that
negotions are going on at the present
time to get a good man to meet Sailor
Jack on the same evening Zbyszko and
Pilakoff come together.

orange and black undisputed laurels
on the college gridiron this season.
The championship is a distinct triumph
for Bill Roper. the Tiger coach. He
started the eason with material that
looked pitiable after the poor season
that Princeton had at football in 1910.
However. Roper began to build a
