Poor Tackling . Fault.
The poor tackling of Lamberton
and Brown. the Princeton ends, is a
source of worriment to the coaches
just now. Indeed, 1t is explained
that it was due to the failure OF this
pair and Captain Ballin's efforts
to be everywhere at once that the
Princeton leader looked badly at
times in his play. Love and Shenk
were also guilty of bad tackling, and
gains were more frequent than
usual through his place In the line.
He is not in the best of physical
condition, and those who know that
praised him for his grit.
TooIan and Tomkins Shine.
Toolan and Toinkins, the clever
Williams stars, were brilliant on
Toolan carried the ball
over for the only touchdown made
by the visitors, and this was really
the only time that Williams threat
ened seriously, while the Tigers were
within what might be called the
scoring zone no less than five times.
In addition, the post-mortem results
show that Princeton gained about
two yards to her opponents one. yet
she lacked the punch at the critical
moment, or else williams defense
was too strong. 1t all depends on
the way one looks at 1t.

1t win BE a Busy Week for Tigers.
Princeton has a week now in which
to correct its faults in preparation
for the annual game with Harvard at
next Saturday. Keene

is ready for stiff work. Captain
Ballin's cold is improving and Eddie
Trenkman will be at his old position
today. Dickerman showed up well on
Saturday but he needs drilling in
handling punts and in running back
the ball.

Ithacans Get Scare.
Considerable relief was manifested
In Cornell football circles today when
1t was learned that Chuck Barrett
and Eddie Hill, the two varsity back
field men who were compelled to
leave the game against Holy Cross
after they had been injured, were not
badly hurt. Both of them will be able
to get back into the lineup this week,
and get ready for the Franklin and
Marshall game and for the bigger con-
test with Michigan that is looming up
on the horizon. Both men were sore
and stiff today, but It is expected
that DR.. Munford. the university med
ical examiner, will have them In good
shape in a few days. A rest will be
given them now, particularly as the
time is rapidly approaching when
Cornell will need her full strength on
the field. Following the return OF
Cornell scouts who watched the Mich
Igan- Harvard game, the coaches plan
this week to begin to drill for the con-
test with Michigan to be played at
Ann Arbor on November IA. They are
not overlooking the Franklin and
game, but 1t Is unlikely that
anything but straight football Will be
used. as the coaches will save every
thing they have for the bigger games

Illinois Has inside Track.
As a result of Saturdays decisive
defeat of Minnesota, the University
of illinois football team looms large
as fine probable champion of the Big
Nine Conference this year. The swift
scoring machine developed by Coach
at Illinois has no apparent
