College football in ali its ramifcations
Is a fascinating but most perpleXing
study. Just when one thinks that some
light has been shed on some problem sat
isfactorily solved, an angle turns UP
which completely changes the whole com
plexion and opens the puzzle afresh. l
had feeling that Harvard would defeat
Princeton, as told in Saturdays Tribune
because Of greater apparent strength at
ends and tackles but my football sense
was shocked at the way the Tigers played
i'm the second half, and even now find II
hard to reconcile their showing with that
OF the week before. against Dartmouth
The attack so powerful, so varied ana so
resourceful on October 26 was weak
yacillating and impotent on November z
The drive was gone, the punch was lack
ing. The answer, Of course, seems PLAIN
in that the Harvard defence was better
developed and far more formidable, rigid
and compact than furnished by the Green
eleven. Back of this, I think, however
was a sudden loss Of confidence ON the
part Of the Tigers-a mental condition
that bordered on q panic, without the loss
for one minute Of stout hearted courage
and forceful determination II was IN
spiring to see Princeton stop three des-
perate plunges inside the 5-yard line IN
the last few minutes Of play, even though
the defence finally was broken down; II
was discouraging nevertheless to follow
ers of the team to see the backs stopped
In their tracks or thrown for loss as
the forwards were brushed aside, the
poor punting, the haphazard passing ana
the costly fumblng. 1t was weak punt
which opened the way for one OF Brick
ley's drop-kicked goals; it was a tumble
which paved the way for another; 1t was
an intercepted forward pass, many yards
wide of the mark, which led up to the
touchdown. The Tigers have much to DO
IN the next two weeks If Yale is to be
beaten. The eleven which looked so
strong seven days ago needs lot OF
building and nowhere so much as in the
line. Such brilliant backs as dewitt
"TIobey" Baker, Pendleton and Waller
were practically powerless on Saturday
because they were smothered before fairly
started.

Haryards running attack lacked va
riety. but it was forceful enough for all
requirements of the moment, and It must
be remembered that Yale scouts were
everywhere Much no doubt was covered
and il may be emphasized that the Grim
son played a semi-defensive game a large
part of the time by punting on the hrst
down. There was method in this, as the
backs were spared much exhausting Ell
fort. and open field plays were not as
closed. There were times during the
struggle when ] questioned the general
shin of Gardner, the Harvard quarter
hack particularly in the choice OF his
plays when the Princeton backs came up
70 the line Of sCrimmage TO support the
forwards, as clearly brought out by Sol
Metzger in The Tribune yesterday. Such
criticism Of Gardner. however, may not
be altogether fair. Little happenings lead
me TO believe that the team is still run
largely from the side lines, in spite OF
rules to discourage the practice. The SUD-
stitution Of Wigglesworth for ParmenteT
lust before Harvard scored a touchdown
was one Of these happenings which looked
suspicious. On the defence the Crimson
team showed much finish The forwards
charged sharply; the tackling, while
little ragged at first, improved with the
game. Some OF the players were mystihed
at first by Princeton's forward passes and
q touchdown resulted. but later they
solved this, too, and turned them to their
own account. Altogether Harvard has a
we'll developed football machine for this
time OF the season, and / foresee won

not let this opportunity go by to say one
more word on a subject which is close TO
the hearts of all good sportsmen. August
Belmont chairman Of the Jockey Club.
was right when he said last week:
"The United States no longer affords to
the thoroughbred an opportunity for ex-
hibiting conspicuous merit on n par with
the thoroughbreds Of England or France
or. for that matter, OF any European
country. even the smallest"
One OF these days the United States
will awake to the necessity of building
up and not discouraging an industry
which means so much to the welfare of
any country not only in times OF peace,
but In times Of war. Nothing perhaps
that Mr. Belmont or any other member
of the Jockey Club has ever said in dis
cussing racing and breeding so clearly
summed up the situation or brought out
so forcibly the loss which this country Is
suffering and will suffer in the decline OF
the breeding industry.
Unfortunately or not, as tho point OF
view may be, the breeding of thorough
breds is dependent upon racing. Apart
from the fact that tests are needed to
weed out the culls, the incentive to main
tain costly breeding establishments is lost
without the rich produce stakes TO en-
courage the breeders TO invest their money
with some chance for return. The law
which was aimed at bookmaking. but hit
racing such a staggering blow may be
interpreted in time to open the tracks
once more, and 1t Is hoped that such may
be the case. as again I agree with Mr..
Belmont that racing as an exotic for the
favored few will never lend the proper
stimulus so necessary to the breeding in
dustry, HERBERT.
