made against the Tigers is not SO dis
ooufaging as might be imagined
princeton knows Just where she
stands, and she will be about at hel
best next Saturday at Cambridge
Princeton isn't worrying half as much
about the Crimson as the Crimson Is
worrying about the Tigers. This
comes right from the seat of war.
O.
The football experts are giving
Princeton a lot of attention, and they
are giving her a good chance. Paul
wilmington, who is considered a very
excellent Judge of gridlron affairs,
has the following to say about the
| Tigers in the Boston Post:
princeton this year promises to
| be as strong as usual. On Saturday
! the team struck q snag in Williams,
| but Princeton has o way of recover
ing from such setbaclSs with bound.
| Extensively, Princeton seems to favor
an open game. But such was the
campaign a year ago also, and wnen
| the Harvard and Yale games came
| along it was a close attack, whlch
| was relied upon entirely, so that
little can be assumed from the sea-
sons work to date. In offensive
play, particularly in generalshlp,
Princeton has of recent years usually
not been a match for either Harvard
| or Yale. but she has atoned for this
fact in a large measure by playing
a strong defensive game and by de-
veloping an unusually keen sense for
a loose bali. 1t Is an old football
adage at Princeton to expect a
tumble on every play the opponents
make, and from the stories of the
Dartmouth and Williams games this
point Is not being neglected this
year. In both of these contests
Princeton's scores followed the re-
covery of opponents fumbles."

A Central High School student is
still talking about that cross-country
run. He says:
j. P. N: -.
I hope YOU will publish this letter
in your columns, so that my trleno,
the Sport" may see it. again
hold that the games committee IS
not giving us a fair deal. East size
has no, cross country team ana their
member of the committee votes VITA
the majority. The (me, too), South
Side and Barringer must change the
A. A. u. rules for fear Oh peiiiiS
wiped clear OF the slate in a cross
country run. What can one vote
do with men who must change the
A. A. u. rules to benefit themselves: .
The Sport should make himsef
more familiar with the running game
before he can say that we could have
raised a man in the school. and run
| him in the race. True, we could
have raised the man, but Mr.. Ander-
son never would consent to let an
unframed man run In a race of three
miles.
/ do not know what school the
sport" comes from. South Side or
own school. Why, because our
Barringer, but 1t was cruel to let
some of those boys run that ran in
| that race. South Side, the big cham
pions for that eight-man rule, enter
about twenty men in the race, and
not more than seven finished. Why:
Because they were not trained prop
| erly and some were not fit to run in
such a race
| | am also accused of putting blot
on the Newark high schools and my
school stands for principle and the
students will and shall fight for what
| is right The Sport also claims
that the field was so strong that we
we're afraid to run. Well, guess
got the laugh on him this time.
Central High School, American and
Eastern States cross-country cham
pions, afraid to run two schools that
could not defeat a girls cross
country team if they were matched
| to run a racei
Now, Mr.. Sport" I viii give you
a little dope and leave it to the pub
lie to Judge which Is the best team
! Central defeated East Orange, Is 70
40 East Orange defeated South Side.
&c to 4S, and East Orange last year
defeated Barringer for the inter
scholastic cross-country champion
ship. Here is some more dope: Gen.
trail defeated De Witt Clinton, 25 to
So; Barringer defeated De Witt, 2S 10
| 20: Commerce High defeated Bar
! ringer, and De Witt defeated Com
merce. No matter how much you got
It in for Central, Mr.. Sport" you
will have to admit few things that
you have written are not and cannon
be SO.
Why argue about this question
Central will meet South Side and
Barringer at Columbia, November ID
and 1 predict that Central will win
the race and Barringer and South
Side will not finish in the first eight
schools Hoping that you print this
in your sport Topics of the Hour,
which stands for square deal, and
thanking you for past favors, am
Yours very truly.
