SPORTING NOTES.

Many of the football critics are pro-
claiming the split delayed forward pass
used by Norwich against Fodrham last
Saturday as a novelty of the season.
| This play originated at Norwich in the
| days of Allen Reid and when that fleet
| footed athlete was called to carry the
gains. In the Fordham game Norwich
used the split delayed skin tackle play
for great gains consistently.
! Cornell has four games ahead. which
will be rather stiff going. There is a
possibility of the Comedians winning
next Saturday against Williams. but
the other three games will surely be
checked off at the end of the year among
the defeats After the Williams game.
Michigan, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania
follow in order.
Crowther, the diminutive Brown quar-
terback, il shining this year Just as
spraeklng won fame at Brown In his
DAYS at college Crowther has been act
ing as general of the Providence team
and, considering the material, he has
operated the machine to perfection.
Crowther falls below Sprackling's cali
bre in that he has not yet demonstrated
his ability to execute the forward pass
with cleverness.
The Yale freshman football team will
be without the services of Wilson. their
big quarterback, whose shoulder was
severely injured in the Hill game last
Saturday. This injury will keep the
start out Of the Harvard game, thus
gripping the Blues offence.
Coach Cavanaugh at Hanover has
started the work of moulding his play
ers for the Harvard game, which game
he makes his ultimate goal.

ogical moment.
