fltIspurSh eX1ectS Georgetown TO let
loose flock of forward filings Saturday
when the two elevens face each other
in the Smoky City, and Joe Duff, the
Gold and Blues coach. is especially
preparing a defense against this method
Of attack. All this week Pittsburgh is
working on formations seeking to break
up forward passing by the enemy
Noark's great tossing has spread even
as far as the Ohio river.
Meanwhile, the Hilltop authorities are
going right ahead. strengthening the
running attack of the varsity eleven
counting on this branch of the offense
as much as forward passing to count
for the Blue ana Gray. With Harry
Kelly back in uniform and playing his
o!d game. the backfield is stronger than
at any time this season.

That's one of the best coached and
most carefully drilled teams / have ever
seen play football, said Dan McGugin,
coach of the Vanderbilt eleven, after
watching North Carolina humble
Georgia in Atlanta last Saturday. This
boost was for a Washington boy, too
Logan Cunningham, who once per-
formed with the Central High eleven
came a great kicking halfback.
McGugin went on to explain his mean
ing. praising the shift plays used by
the Tar Heels. AS a general rule these
shifts work well in practice, but lose
their weight against strong opponents.
Cunningham has SO drilled his players
that they carry these Princeton shifts
right through for long and consistent
gains. The Vanderbilt tutor was as
,Ounded at the low running of the Caro-
lima backs and the speed with which
they got started.
johnny Neff, former captain and half
back of the Virginia varsity team. was
an interested spectator of the Georgia
North Carolina contest last Saturday.
Virginia wanted to get line on the
strength of Cunninghams outfit They
got it.
Dartmouths battle against the Prince
ton Tiger Saturday will be the eleventh
contest between them. Princeton has
ahead i'm three. The other was even,
10 6. Princeton has scored 135 points
10 Dartmouth's 81. Two OF the games
have been played in New York at the
Polo Grounds. Following is the record
Of the two elcEens:
1897, at Princeton-P., 80: D.. O.
1903, at PrinCeton-P., Il: d., o.
1875, at Pr nceton-D., 6: p. O.
1906. at Princeton-P.. A.: D.. 0.
1905. al New Iork-D., 10; P. 6.
1909, at PrinCeton-D., s: P.
1910. at New York-P. s: D.. o.
1911. at Princeton-P., 3; d., 0.
1912, al Pr.nCeton-P. y: D.
1913, at PrincetOn-D.. s: p, o.
The Tigers smothered the Green in
their first game. and disagreement
arose, resulting in no game being sched-
died until 1903. PrinCcton's roughing of
Bullock, Dartmouth's end, in 1909, cut
out the 1904 game, but the following
season Dartmouth won its first victory
over the orange and Black. Relations
between the two universities are now
most cordial, and there are no signs
OF rupture.
The Hanoverians are looking forward
10 a win Saturday. If only because
Princeton dedicates its new football
vent through this same stunt and
Ralph Glaze and Myron Witham played
ducks and brakes with the Crimson
dartmouth winning. II TO O.
Stan pennock. Harvard's all-Amer. can
guard. is being credited with saving
haTlie Brickley's life in going to DR..
Nichols and informing him Of the seri-
Gus condition Of the Crimson captain.
BIlckley himself kept the matter quiet
hoping TO play in the Washington and
Jefferson game. When gong under the
operation Brickley was told that had
he been struck in the abdomen. it
WOULD have caused almost instant
death.
Jesse Harper. Notrc Danes coach,
rather than his Qusrterbacks. is being
'lameG for the poor work OF the South
Bend eleven at New Haven last Satur-
DAY. At a critical point in the game,
when a score seemed possible. Harper
sent out an ineligible player with in
slTUctions. OF course. Notre Dame was
Uenalized. as il should have been. and
the possible score disappeared. Eastern
ritlcG who saw the game wonder at the
sck Of generalsh.p shown by the Notre
Dame quarters. that is. generalship as
understood in the East. Last season
Dorais succeeded In pulling through
Ilays that had no technical founda ton
imply because he was a superiine quar-
t'rback. This seasons quarte-backs at
Nouc Dame are far behind Dorais in
sbility and all their weaknesses were
hown up by the Ellis.
TntersectionaI matches, always inter
osting TO football lovers, have been
more or less disastrous for the West
thus far this season. Colgate slammed
Onion Wesleyan all around the field,
inning by a score OF ~ to 0. while
Yale's 2s to 0 victory over Notre Dame
wag most decisive. The lone triumph
for the West in the three battles so
far plaved was Pittsburgh's win over
the Middies. l3 to 0.
Next Saturday Michigan tackles SYRIA
cuse and Western Reserve will be en-
iertained at Anna polls. These two in
tersectional contests may shift the
score.
