New York, November 9.--(Special. -Bos- ton Is a proud city these days. Not only has her ball club captured the world s championship, but it looks very much as though Harvard, which the Hub regards as Boston institution, bids fair to cap ture the football championship
 Her defeat of Princeton showed that Haughton has built up one of the finest football machines which has ever worn the crimson. and if she doesn't take the championship Yale must show something more than she has shown.
 Captain Wendell says Brickett, the man who took the measure of the Tigers. is the finest football player in the record of the game. This is pretty big specif- cation and something must be allowed for the enthusiasm of the big win, but Buckley certainly is some player. I have never seen a more accurate and forceful man with his toe than this young scion of John Harvard and if he don't give ale trouble i miss my guess.
 1 still believe Princeton has a great team. In the game with Harvard she suffered from over confidence and it is not at all improbable that she will beat Yale. In this event this problem may be pre- sented. If Princeton beats Yale and Yale beats Harvard where will the champion ship go-stranger things have happened.
 The loss of Ted York has been severe ly felt by Yale, how severely remains to De seen. Not only Is the line up deprived of fine player but Yale missed q weeks game and several days practice ana this counts at this time in the season.
 The downfall of Pennsylvania this year has been pltlful. 1t seems impossible to get the tguakers In shape and teams which should be merely paytnings are consistently winning games against her. It may be that Pennsylvania will take .i brace but that she can come through the season with anything like credit seems im- possible. Cornell seems in the same class. Botls teams have good material, much of It is young and it is possible that the poundings of 1912 will develop winning teams in 1913.
 Perhaps for the country at large the Army-Navy game is the crowning event of the season. On the work so far done the soldiers woutl seem to have all the best cf 1t. They have a compact effective team. at both offense and defense. while the sailors have been up to this time playing rather loose game, both In SCOT HIS anu Di luc Olktl lcdltio lfOul scoring.
 After study of the early season work of Princeton and Harvard, however. and then considering the result of the supreme test it would be a bold man who would predict that the West Pointers are to have a walk over.
 Princeton has scored touchdowns this fall Carlisle A, Dartmouth 30, Harvard IT and Yale 10.
 Figures showing the number of touch downs made by different varsity players and put him in the lead of the entire east tern field. This is not surprising con sidering the number of points the Tigers have made and Pendleton's fieetness. The Indians have scored more heavily than Princeton, and yet Thorpe, prolific pro ducer of touchdowns, has not made as many as the Princeton captain His total is To-
 Mercy of Dartmouth comes next to Pen dleton with 12. Other active touehdowyn makers are Brickley. Harvard; De Witt. Princeton; Hudson, Trinity; Mercer, Penn sylvania. Harrington, Colgate; Arcasa. Carlisle and H. Baker, Princeton. No Yale man is prominent in the scoring because Yale has been backward in stacking up points.
 Now that there seems a good chance that Yale Will not meet the Army next fall Pennsylvania is looking for game with the New Haven team. Nowadays Brown and Cornell are the only prominent eastern teams that the Quakers play, and the Red and Blue needs a really big game to help it's football position as well as it's exchequeP. Every year hopes are entertained that Princeton or liar yard will be secured but there is hardly more chance that Pennsylvania will get date with Yale than with the Nassau or Cambridge team.
