PRINCETON HAS WON BUT ONCE
FROM YALE IN TWELVE YEARS
Tigers This Year Meet Dark Blue on at Least
Even Terms, However-A. and NJ.
Has Star Backfeld Player.

! code The games of 1873 and 1877 were PLAYED
under the intercollesiate rules but special RUE
goals only. Under the rules of 1852 two safeties
] equaled a touchdown The game of 1881 was
5 points and Yale 6. The referee. under rule 2;
| decided the contest no game The game oi
1885 terminated similarly to the game OF 1851
Yale having scored points and Princeton U.
! Tech without Gene Ochsenreiter is
| likely to show just as good form today
against Central as if he were in the
game. That is not said to disparage In
the least the capabilities of the Manual
! Trainers captain, because he is spien-
did performer in almost every respect,
but Tech has depended at times 100
much upon the capabilities of Ochsen-
reiter, and its qualities as a team have
been forgotten to an extent. The game
between Central and Tech undoubtedly
will attract great deal OF attention
more than any other scholastic contest
of the year, in all probability. There is
more rivalry between these two elev-
ems than any others of the high schools,
and always has been. A contest be-
tween Tech and Central will draw at
that these two schools would almost
as lief win from each other as to cap
ture championship.
The North Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical College has one of the best
backs in the east, according to COM
petent critics The player is Sullivan.
a former Holy Cross star. Sullivan
that college defeated GEORGETOWN in
the game at Raleigh. Against the
Navy Sullivan was responsible for
many of the gains made by the Nortn
Carolina eleven and his work al
through the season has been brilliant.
Georgetown figures him to be the hard
est man in the A. and NJ. backfleld to
stop. notwithstanding the exceptional
capabilities of Riddick, who weighs
about 1875 pounds. 1t was Riddick who
scored the touchdown A and NJ. got
last year against the Blue and Gray.
Pittsburgh, Cornell and Colgate stand
out as the undefeated elevens. The
aforementioned is the only one OF the
trio not scored on. Whether the ma
jority of critics will make their de,
cisions in favor of Cornell at the enn
of the year remains to be seen, but
the proba bilities are they will, because
of the schedule played by the Ithacans.
Despite Pittsburgh's victories Nover
Washington and jefferson and the Car
Isle Indians and the Navy. it has not
won from Harvard, nor has it sweep
ing win from Michigan; Colgate has
taken games from the Army and Yale,
but this is not one of the seasons when
the Army and Yale are ranking at the
top of the heap.
Both the Army and Navy are play
ing erratic foot ball this season. The
former has won from two or three
strong teams, but it has also failed to
measure up to expectations in several
of it's contests. The latter has done
some splendid work at times, but IT
also has not made good on one or
two occa sionS when it was thought
it would take the long end of the score
Perhaps the Army will be favored con-
siderabIy just before the big game be-
cause of it's known potential strength,
but it has generally been the case that
the team seemingly the stronger has
last year. And. anyway, after that up
set at the Polo Grounds two years
ago. almost anything may be consid-
cred possible.
If the Maryland Aggies can win from
Johns Hopkins will face Thanksgiving
day. in all proba bihty, for the Maryland
state championship without either hav-
ing lost game. People all over the state
are talking about the contest already,
and it seems certain that attendance rec
ords for a foot ball game in Maryland
will be broken. Hopkins. besides the
contest with NJ. A. c.. has only one
meet St Johns Saturday week. while
NJ, A. c. has but one also, that being
booked with Western Maryland:
Just how strong Western Maryland
will prove against M. a y IL not
known, but the chances are that some
thing of real battle will develop. The
odds favor the Farmers to win, though
there have been SO many upsets this
season that 1t is not certain they will
do So by any means. The strength of
the Western Maryland eleven lies In the
capabilities of Garrett, fullback. Gar
rett scored two touchdowns against
Hopkins. and is considered one Of the
best running backs ever developed in
Maryland. He is heavy, powerful and
fast, and is hard man to stop.
