DOINGS HERE AND THERE

lue minor eIeVens disposed Oh the
real struggles OF the 1918 football
season for the big colleges comes next
Saturday. Games from that date on
are of championship flavor and for
the most part between the premier
eleyens only. On the whole thus far
this season the scor ng of the larger
teams has been of generous extent,
although 1t Is notable fact that
seven of the foremost nine college
elevens have not been able to keep
opponents from going over the line
for a touchdown. OF the big colleges
Yale has had one stebacls-that
scoreless tie with Maine-but since
that game the Bulldog has shown a
reversal to its former sma shlng tao
tics and disposed of its later oppon-
ents without much difficulty. Har-
ward has marched along with a string
OF victories and Princeton has van
quished it's rivals with comparative
ease. Penn has been the real sur
prise of the season, as the team last
year was far below the college stand
| ard. Cornell and Carlisle have each
been defeated, while the Army and
Navy eievens have shown that they
are just hitting their stride.
an In and outer. but fortunately the
"out" part of the phrase is only APP
plicable to the practise scrimmages.
| The Crimson warriors have managed
| to vanquish the opponents in regular
games this season, but the scrubs yes
fterday scored field goal and touch
| down and gave the varsity the game
of their lives.
| HOBBY Bakers punting has been
thus far a great disappointment. The
| Princeton leaders toe work recently
| has been little above mediocre. HOBBY
| is fighter, though, and a big asset
| to the team. But the real boys at
Tigertown are Phillips and Balm,
who are making things hum as
tackles.
Markle looks like a worthy rival
| to the mighty PumpeliY. He is a
good punter. dependable drop kicker
and a snappy, aggressive player. The
Yale coaches were greatly relieved
when he reported for practise yester-
| day. Markle and Cornell have been
on the injured list for three days.
| Roo is showing great promise at
quarterback for the Army, and will
probably be used in all the big games
| in the future.
! Lamphier and Hess are two new
candidates who are being given a
chance for the Army varsity.
Brown, the big Navy guard, has a
sore ankle that is worrying the MILDLY
coaches. He was kept out of active
practise yesterday. Mitchell is max
ing a name for himself by his bril-
liant handling Of the eleven at quar-
terback.
Smith, a freshman end, livened
practise at Williams up a trifie yes
terday by intercepting punt and
circling, the varsity for a touchdown.
Marshall is looming up at Penn as
an all-American possibility. He is one
of the fastest players in the game
| today, and plays a scrappy, aggressive
game at all times. In the game with
| Brown he appeared to be everywhere
at once. and his ground gaining ac-
counts for a great deal of the Quakers'
tally.
Captain Welsh, of Carlisle, is so
badly bruised UP that the Indians are
fearful that their leader may not be
able to start against Pennsylvania
Saturday. The husky quarter was out
of practise yesterday nursing his
wounds. Wallete, who already had a
! bad shoulder, topped things off by
severely bruising his left foot.
! Collyer has now landed William
sons job at left tackle for Cornell.
| The latter's arm is in such bad
shape that 1t is doubtful IL he will
! play again this season.
! The Amherst eleven and student
| body. depressed as result Of their
! showing against Trinity last Satur-
| day, blame the coaching staff for the
| teams poor work. Hobbs is singled
| out as the chief offender. and the stu
| dents assert that he has made no
effort to introduce new formations.
They assert the calibre of the men
on the eleven is of championship
order. This a rather novel alibi, to
say the least.
