win from Swarthmore, and the loss did
not come as any unexpected happening.

While comparative scores do not show
to any special advantage for any eleven
| unless they have been consistent through
almost an entire season, 1t must be q
nice balm to the hearts of Princeton sup
porters to look upon the comparative
results of the Princeton-Syracuse and
Yale-Syracuse games. Yale defeated
Syracuse by only q to o. and this. com
pared to the big score run up by Prince
ton Saturday, does not show we'll for the
Dark Blue.
The comparative score, though. does
not indicate Princeton's superiority over
the Yale eleven. Yale has not been de-
| veloped as fast. and is hardly as far ad-
vanced in work as are the Tigers, and
when the two elevens meet it is probable
that close, hard game will result.
Likewise the excellent showing made
by the Army against Yale would cause
one to figure the Sailors would have little
chance to win when they meet November
30, but it is likely that the future gener-
ais will have their hands full to get away
with the contest when the game is finally
played. Comparative scores early In the
season do not tend to show what may
happen later in the year by any means.
The best feature Of the play of the Gal
laudet eleven is that it is able to score
touchdowns: The Kendall Green eleven
has not failed to tally in every game In
which 1t has played and has scored on a
team which the University of Virginia
found impregnable. In the Baltimore
City College game Saturday it rolled up a
total of thirty-eight points, which is bet
ter than any Gallaudet eleven has done
against the Baltimoreans in a long time.
That twenty-five points were scored
against the Kendall Green eleven would
indicate that it's defense is not as strong
as it's offense, at least is not commensu-
rate with it in power.
The high school series will begin to-
morrow. Western and Business will meet
in the first game of the season and a
close, hard game is expected to be the
result. Business, 1t is reported, has a
fairly heavy eleven and will give the
lighter Georgetown aggregation close
run, even if it fails to win.
The University of Maryland eleven.
which was defeated by the Maryland
Aggies last week, by score Of 50 to q is
hardly strong enough to win from one of
the local high schools. Notwithstanding
that it has a fairly heavy eleven. The
line which faced the Aggies was as heavy
as themselves, and yet it was the easiest
kind of a matter for the backs to go
through it at any time for from three to
ten yards.
1t is reported that Bill Hollenback will
be here tomorrow to help out in teaching
the Georgetown eleven a defense against
the INDIANS. f1OlleHDdck prODdDly KNOWS
the Indians style of pay as we'll as any
man in the east. 1t will be remembered
that Hollenback was probably the best
defensive back Pennsylvania ever had.
and that it was his brilliant playing
which kept the Carlisle men from defeat
ing the Quakers.
It might be appropriate to write a lot
of comment about the Cornell team. but
so many attempts have been made to
figure what is wrong at that school that
it might as well be given up until it has
an eleven capable Of accomplishing some
thing which will be credit to an in
stitution of that size.
Cornell foot ball Is a puzzle which
seems to keep at bay everybody who at
tempts to 8 I've it, SO it had best be left
alone.
ten-mile run will be held Thanksgiv-
ing day by the Washington Athletic As
sociation. That much was decided at the
meeting held yesterday morning.
The details of the run will be arranged
at a later date.
