SAY HOLY CROSS
IS TOO ROUGH"
Harvard and Yale Protest "Un-
gentlemanly Tactics" of
Worcester ColIegians.
HEARD ON THE LINES

The Holy Cross eleven appears to
have gotten 'in Dutch" with the big
colleges through what is character
lied as their rough and ungentle-
manly tactics in the recent games
with Yale and Harvard, respectively.
In the game with Yale the Holy
Cross eleven came out second best
as far as the scoring went, but the
victorious Yale warriors looked as
though they had been through
meat chopping machine after the
game. The Massachusetts, collegians
were severely criticised by the Yale
officials and a threat was made that
they would be wiped off the Eli sche-
dule. Harvard tackled the Holy
Cross team Saturday and although
the Crimson team wiped up the field
with their minor rivals the "wiping
up" was only via the score board
The final score was Al to Z, but the
net result of tho game to Harvard
was the Gripping Of number of her
bright gridiron stars. Pennock.
BEETLE, Hardwick. Coolidge and
Trumbell were among thoze who
were badly used up during the
game. Immediately following the
among the Crimson followers. From
present indications Holy Cross on
the football schedules of Harvard
and Yale are thing of the past
Attention is called to the fact that
the first victim of the football season,
Norwich player. was fatally in
jured in game with Holy Cross.
Tad Jones, the head coach of the
Yale football forces, is playing the
same safe game that has been the
policy of the Ell gridiron campaign
managers in former years. Since
the tie game with Maine his charges
have never beeI pressed severely
The 81 to 0 defeat of Lehigh and the
q to trouncing handed Lafayette
indicate clearly that the Yalensians
this season are of formidable
strength as a result of the slow up
building under the Jones regime.
Jones says Yale has championship
team this season.
Now that the big college football
season is well under way there are
few statistics that may interest
the admirers of the game. Yale and
the Navy are the only two elevens
that have not as yet been scored
upon by opponents. These two
elevens, however, have been in score
less ties, Yale with Maine, and the
navy Will ana
Carlisle are the only two big col
leges that have suffered defeat, Cor
nell losing to Carlisle and the In
dams in turn dropping a game to
Pittsburgh. Touchdowns have been
scored upon every one of the big
teams except Yale and the Navy.
Eddie Mahan, the Harvard back of
whom much has been written, against
Holy Cross displayed by far the best
form he has shown as a member of
the varsity squad. OF the 700 yards
gained by Harvard on Saturday Ma
han accounted for about $50, and he
was in the game only twenty minutes.
Frank Cavanaugh, head coach of
the Dartmouth football eleven, can
boast of two qliarterbaeks this year
between whom it is hard to make a
decision. NJ: p. Chez, jr.. and
Hank Llewellyn have been run
| almost sure to be seen In action
gainst Princeton next Saturday.
George Brooks, the new head coach
of the Pennsylvania eleven, has
worked wonders this season. Last
year the Red and Blue team was
beaten by Swarthmore. Brown, La
1ayette and Penn state. This year
Swarthmore, Brown and Lafayette
have been defeated.
Two positions in the Yale baclzfield
seem definitely settled. Cornish is
almost sure to play quarter against
Princeton and Harvard, while
Knowles is a fixture at one half.
Derril Pratt, the brilliant second
baseman of the st. Louis Browns, is
assisting the football coaches at the
University of Alabama.
Speaking of the Dartmouth Will
Jams game, DAILY, coach of Williams,
said that Dartmouth was not as pow
erful as last year in running plays,
but was clever at kicking. and that
the large score piled up against Will
Jams did not show the comparative
strength of the two teams.
The Cornell football team is suf-
fering the loss of no less than six
regulars from the lineup by reason
of injuries sustained last week.
