UNION DESERVES HIGH
CREDIT FOR ITS WORK
Only One Touchdown and Only
Ten Points Scored Against
It, Rarity This Year.
STRONG IN IT'S OWN CLASS

/
a college eleven is Unions. Only ten
points, and only one touchdown. have been
made against this team. This may pro-
woke tho usual cry about calibre OF or
ponents. but. although Union hasn't met
any OF the raging giants OF the grldIron,
! II has bucked UP against teams OF its
own class. and in holding these teams to
ten points is entitled to quite as much
credit as any stronger teams which have
done we'll In their circle.
the Southern belt furnishes another
team which has held opponents 10 ono
touchdown, and this team. Washington
and Lee, like Union. has not been beaten.
| In the subJoined list the only unbeaten
ones are Harvard, the Army. Union and
Washington and Lee. one OF these Har-

state and Pittsburg Joined the ranks OF
the beaten last week Dartmouth s only
twelve points away from a total OF 900.
The scores OF Harvard and Yale are
worthy OF note because OF their similarity

Inasmuch as Harvard beat W. and J.,
which beat Yale. Harvard Is stronger than
Yale; inasmuch as Yale beat Lehigh,
which beat Penn State. which tied Har-
ward, Yale IL stronger than Harvard.
Their have been n number OF games this
fall In which the score ran along nothing
to nothing or close, and with little scor-
ing by one side or tho other. and then
a liberal outbreak os scoring by ono
team games which UP TO a short time
before the close promised 20 be ties or
close. but which ended with a one sided
victory. Walter Camp in discussing this
phase OF the present season made point
OF the nervous strain.
THE nervous strain OF the present
game" said Mr.. Camp. rs greater than
the physical STRAIN. mat is why some
teams have been beaten decislvely In the
last few minutes. The strain OF looking
for something unexpected from opponents,
something which concealed attack for
ward passes and other wrinkles likely 10
break out at any minute. is wearing on
the nerves. II the plays don't come there
always IL the menace OF them, and tho
strain OF the menace, watching and won
dering what r. coming next. looking for
the man with tho bail and unable 70
find him, cause letdown when score
does come"
