Must. Reckon With Minors.
Although none Of the big university
teams was defeated on Saturday, there
were several close calls and, in the
second division, more than one upset.
1t Is becoming more apparent each
season that the minor college teams
must be reckoned with in schedule ar
rangements and: that the old fashion
past. The leaders doubtless would.
scorn to admit that they have yet met
teams equal. in ability. but Yale alone
has been able t keep her goal line
uncrossed.
Harvard has been scored on by
touchdown and fen goals. Princeton
is in the same Glars and Pennsylvania

Of the Nays steady playing, cannot

Although Harvard was scored upon
by Holy Cross Saturday, the eastern
championship college Of 1912 appears
to be moving forward at a pace that
surpasses that Of n of her formid-
able rivals at this time. In four games

In Eddie Mahan, Harvard appears

Brickley and Mahan have. already
kicked four field goals and with Hard

Tigers Doing Well.
Princeton completed the. first half
of her 1913 schedule on Saturday by
defeating Syracuse 13 to O.. In four
games the Tigers have rolled up 1874

it would appear as though the Tigers
were building up an eleven around
two or three star players. and this
system has failed to win for them in
the past. since that Yale and Harvard
persist in covering these stars on the
days of the big games until they are
unable to get away for either runs or
