what can be accomplished In three or
four days with men who know the
finer points Of football, but who have
lacked the opportunity TO get together.
Il is Just possible that the contest will
prove that, after all, the fundamentals
and general knowledge Of the game are
worth three-quarters and unity Of
action only one-quarter, and that TOO
much emphasis is now laid on conbi-
nation IN carrying out set plays. II
may show, on the other hand, that
stars, no matter how bright, lose half
their lustre when necessary support is
lacking, and that organization and team
effort are fully 80 per cent OF an
eleven's efficiency.
Al Journeay, who stood out boldly at
centre on the Pennsylvania team year
ago and who earned rank with the best
OF all time in that position, is just

Ham Fish would look far 70 find
better man 10 pass the ball and no
doubt would welcome him as a recruit.
There is no telling how many substi-
'utes will be needed before that game
Is over. Journeay is too modest TO
offer his services. so that the respon-
sibility is on me in suggesting that he
can be reached at Leonia, y. j., or at
Il Liberty Street.

that little emphasis was laid on the
fact that Princeton made only two sub
stitutions against Harvard last Satur-
day II was hard on those who no
doubt deserved their "P," but il showed
the fine condition Of the men and how
cleanly the game was played
Looking back over the big games for
a number OF years, il can be said that
Princeton established record in max
INK only two substitutions; that IS, for
games of such Importance as the one in
question. The credit TO a large extent
belongs to Keene Fitzpatrick, who sent
his men on the field in practically per-
feet condition 10 stand the hard, Cruel
ling strife.
II was 70 the greater credit Of this
astute trainer because Of the fact that
the Tigers showed signs of slight stale
ness lust before the Williams game
and needed the most careful handling
70 bring them back.
Speaking Of substitutions. Tom Riley,
head coach at Amherst, partly from
necessity, no doubt, just about broke
All records this year, as in the first
Ave games only four substitutions were
made.

In answer 10 number of queries,
the dark patches on the Jerseys of the
Harvard backs were Of canvas. Haugh-
ton decided ten days ago that the plain
Jerseys afforded too good hold for
opposing tacklers. He found on ex-
perimenting. however. that the old
canvas Jackets were too confined, so
that a combination Of both was used.
Dave Tibbott. who scored all %
Princeton's points against Harvard last
Saturday by making two drop kicks,
had his first lesson in kicking field
goals from Bob Lamberton. who was a
guard on tho Pennsylvania teams OF
1908 and l8O9. llbbott playcu on lhe
Germantown Academy eleven Of Phils-
delphia in 1911 and 1912, and LANDER
ton. then coach, was quick TO see the
wanderful latent ability in the school
hoy and taught him TO drop kick His
lessons bore fruit in the season OF
1912. when Tibbott drop kicked eight
Goals from the field for the German
own team.
When he was at school Tibbott also
gained fame as natural runner with

arm with an ability 70 slip tackle in
