on a line through Princeton Haryard's
running attack will have to he as power
full and versatile as the Carlisle Indians
hurled against Dartmouth II the Yale
team is 10 be driven back across its own
goal line at Cambridge next saturday.
The whole complexion Of Yale's football
campaign has been changed since the re-
generation Of the eleven against the Tigers
on Saturday. after season of many dis
appointments and many experiments.
As so often has been the case, the men
rose TO the call under able coaching. and
practically disarmed the Tigers and made
useless the weapons Of offence displayed
against the Crimson in way that should
give all Yale men high hope for the cul-
minating game of the season. The charge
of the Blue forwards was Just about the
hardest I have seen this season. and the
tacl<ling was savage and deadly. II was
= case Of practically every man getting
into every play rather than any indi-
vidual brillisncy. although Marting, at
centre; Talbot. at tackle, and Captain
Ketcham were conspicuous. Among the
backs Ainsworth and Wilson made the
most Of practically every opportunity AND
closely approached the standard set at
New Haven. As said before. Yale has
stronger and more compact defence than
Harvard if Princeton furnishes a fair
means for comparison. which seems like
": whereas. the Blue running attack was
quite as effective against the Tigers as
the one used by the Crimson the week
before Yale gained 135 yards by straight
rushing to only % for Princeton. Har-
ward gained 1877 yards in the same way
t. 90 for the Tigers.
Princeton wound up the season on Sat
urday with team which was just short
of beirg cast in championship mould.
Defeat by Dartmouth and Harvard and
tie with Yale afforded nothing to arouse
much enthusiasm, but apart from mere re-
suits the team and the players were
worthy Of the best traditions at Princeton.
one thing is sure-the foundation for
great team next year has been laid, for
only Captain Hobey Baker and phillips.
the consistent tackle. will be lost by
graduation.
The chief disappointment OF Princeton's
play on Saturday was the absence of any
marked variation in the attack and the
parrowness OF its scope. There was no
excuse this time of wet field and slip
perry ball. and vet the much whispered
speed in open play could not be discov-
cred through a Lick telescope. Then, too.
he cares OF captaincy must have weighed
heavily on Hober Baker. He was nowhere
n1 q Ia CT
and the year before. However, he has
made a bright name in football and well
is ii deserved.
II there is anything AT all in football
form. the Carlisle School eleven is just
about the hest of the year. Dartmouth
proved its strength against Princeton
and PENNSYLVANIA. and yet was fairly
crushed by the Indians. Glen Warner IS
a master Of football strategy and a born
teacher.
The scores, Michigan Il. Cornell 0. ard
Michigan IS. Pennsylvania 0, hold out
hope for Cornell i'm that Thanksgiving
Day game with the Quakers. II must not
be forgotten however that Pennsylvania
was handicapped in the early part Of the
game on Saturday by the absence of
Minds and Marshall. about whom the at
tack has been built
Michigan, by the way, has finished
team which ranks with the best. 1t
seems pity that a test of its skill and
strength cannot be had against Chicago
i'm the West and. say, Harvard or the
Indians in the East
Harvard's football team took the Brown
game i'm it's stride, as the saying goes.
and is now aiming to do just little bit
more 10 Yale than Princeton did in play
ing 10 a tie. II appears that the Crimson
coaches took TO heart the lessons taught
by that skinny 3 to defeat of the
Tigers and were quick TO make an effort
to correct the weaknesses hidden up to
that time and only brought out under
high pressure Harvard showed conclu-
sively against Princeton that it was not a
truly great team and not so finished as
the earlier games had led the critics 10
believe. but this does not imply that with
the final polishing. which the coaches are
prepared TO give. ii Will not fill all re-
quircments by next Saturday.
