Why, because Penn stays right at home
and takes her trimmings there. Being
big. she, like the other biRs. refuses

quod erat de~monstrandum.
The Exeter eleven Is one Of the few
not scored on. These prep school stars,
under the tutelage OF Thomas a. H..
Jones for two years have made an cX-
ccptional record, ami this fan have
accumulated lOi points in their SIX
games, Their record is as follows and
shows the comparative strength of SOW
cral freshman clcvens against the ENo-
mans: Exeter, %; Dartmouth fresh
men. 0. Exeter, : Worcester Academy.
0, Exeter, 10 Yale freshmen. q. En-
eter, 27; Yale seconds, o. Exeter. 80
Princeton freshmen. 0. So far as COM
parat!ve scores are worth anything tn.
Yale cubs are ahead of the Tiger cubs
also OF the Harvard youngsters, for
the Cambridge freshmen beat Andover
Z TO 0. and the young Ellis defeated An
dover 81 to 8.
As to this or that system OF coach
ing It's effectiveness seems to depend
chiefly on the man doing H., It's a
~laughton system rather than a lidr-
ward system that has lifted the Crimson

TO suppose that Capt. DAILY at West FONT
and Huntington Hurdwick at Annapolis
aro making extensive use OF methods
pursued n Harvard. yet their teams are
down In the thick Of the common herd
this year. So far this season Yale
coaching mas been n frost at New Haven,
but DR.. Shnrpe, n Yale product, is max

acquired at Dartmouth IL accomplishing
more with the Colgate team thar Dart

Dartmouth,
At Annapolis last Saturday, playing
below its usual form. the Navy went
down to defeat" Judging from results
so far this year the Navy usually plays
below it's usual form.
The misplaced and abused term
breaks has been run in on football
finally, Every Saturday now the win
ners are winning because they get the
"breaks.' but 70 long as nobody on the
grIdiron makes u swell catch there IN
hope OF football escaping complete
genealogical degradation.
I'm the hrst quarter Penn state
scored "A touchdown. when was disal-
lowed on account OF holding on the part
of n Penn state linesman."
How nowr Thought "A linesmt,n was
an official. Linemen are those who play
In the line. They're linemen because
there's only one line to "A team. Lines
men are those who watch the lines, the
chalk lines. They're lincsmen because
there are many lines, And there is no

Yale football may nave the mcgrims,
but for divers reasons you've got to be-
stow cncomiums on Father Elihu. The
gridiron In the bowl with its velvet turf
is the finest, Nr and away. in the land (;

make stout old Taurus stagger.
