FORM And UPSETS ARE SEEN
Yale Nearly Loses Game by Sending
Subs in During Last Period.
TIGERS HELPLESS AT FIRST

as Easy TO Outplay ms Hnr-

NEW YORK, Nov l5.-True foot bali
form and upsets dere curiously inter-
mingled in the games played on eastern
gridirons on Saturday. Where the anal
ysis OF the play is confined strictly to
the regular varsity teams, the results
coincide with predictions The injection
of numerous second and third string
players produced, however, several fea-
lures not included in the forecasts.
This applies particularly to the Yale
Princeton and the Harvard Brown strug-
giles, which furnished the unexpected and
sensational elements of the weekend
claahes Yale, after scoring nineteen
points against Princeton in forty-fi We
minutes of play. thus coming within one
point of Harvards score over the same
eleven one week previous, sent line Of
substitutes into the final period to hold
the Tigers in check.
MRneuver Fails.
The complete failure Of this naue1ver
was shown by the fact that the orange
and black piled up two touchdowns and
two goals in less than ten minutes and
was threatening to wrest victory from
the blue when the final call OF time cut
short the chances OF. an eleventh-hour
win. Harvard. with the same idea of
conserving the energies of its varsity
combination for the Yale game. next
Saturday. sent a team composed chiefly
of substitutes against Brown and the re-
suit was a no-score tie. So far as actual
bearing of the outcome of the Yale-Har-
yard contest is concerned, these reversais
of the form expected can be disr sgarded,
since a wide gulf exists between the de-
fensive strength Of the first and second
combinations at both New Haven and
Cambridge.
Tigers Helpless.
With the regular Yale eleven facing
Princeton, the New Jersey team was al
most as helpless as II was a week ago
against Harvard. Although the blue
scored with an offensive attack that diff
fered radically from that used by the
crimson, the result was the same. The
Ellis. using a wide open. loose ball method
Of attack. found the Princeton first and
secondary defense Just as easy 10 out
play as Harvard did by its close forma-
ton, delayed and hidden ball offensive
tactics.
Defeat Means Little.
While Brown secures the credit Of
holding the crimson TO a scoreless tie
In next to the final game OF the season,
the unexpected result furnishes little
reason for fear in the Cambridge camp
With almost all the regulars at Prince
ton in the role of spectators the ask Of
defeating Brown was delegated TO the
second string players.
That the latter failed was Tue more to
over-eagerness and inexpeTience than 20
actual lack OF foot ball ability
There was never any question as to
the outcome OF the Dartmouth PennsyI-
vania contest, for the HanoYeriaus were
superior to the Quakers in every depart
ment Of play. The red and blue showed
fairly strong defense in the opening
periods. but once the Dartmouth scoring
machine got nuder full Roadway the size
Of the score was the only question.
Army and Navy Win.
