compaTso with any seen this year
With Deetjen at his best. Wesleyan
would be hot favorite; with Deet-
jen out, a close, hard fought battle may
result. On line through New York
University, however, the men from
Middletown must be accorded the game.
although comparative scores this year
have brought about the worst tangie
in many a day.
Howard Miller, Columba's clever
quarterback, who jumped into real foot
ball fame on Saturday when he drop
kicked q goal from the 4S-yard line in
the last half minute Of play, just in
time TO beat New York University, is
quite likely to set the seal of his right
to a high ranking among the leading
players of the year.
He appears TO be a drop-kicker OF no
mean ability, and II must not be for-
gotten that he gained no less than 10
yards in five runs last Saturday, one OF
which Melted twenty-five yards. His
generalship. too, is sound, so that the
experience Of another year should make
him u candidate for All-America hon
ors.
Nelson Metcalf, the head coach. has
worked wonders in developing a rea-
sonably strong eleven from so much
green material He has proved the
wisdom of his choice beyond all ques-
ton. and both he and his men deserve
high credit.
From something heard yesterday, it
would not be surprising if jeff Healey.
the 190-pound tackle, was elected cap
tain Of the Columbia eleven for next
year. He had planned to take his de-
gree in June by lacking on some extra
hours Of work to his regular course,
but an election, no doubt, would lead
him TO think twice. Healey is a good
tackle and basketball player of var
sity calibre.
Two other games of much interest
will be played in this city tomorrow.
when Rutgers faces New York Uni
versity at Ohio Field and Fordham does
battle with Villanova at Fordham Field.
Many a Thanksgiving dinner VIII be
postponed until evening. Football car
ries stronger appeal than turkey with
many.
Up at Providence an exception Wall
be made. Thanksgiving Day means
more to New England folk, or certainly
as much, as Christmas or New Year.
The dinner hour, which has come TO be
traditional, is set for 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and Brown University. rec
ognizing the pulling power of turkey,
cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. has
scheduled the football game with the
Carlisle Indians in the morning. In
this way football serves as the cock
tail, and many a dinner will be en-
loved the more because OF its invigo-
rating influence.
The stands on the field at Brown will
accommodate about six thousand per-
sons, but the demand for seats mas been
such that carpenters were busy on Non
day building additions.
+. n. Robinson. head coach OF the
Brown eleven, picked an All-America
eleven in the wee small hours Of yes
terday morning. Football had been dis
cussed from every angle; Charley Hug
gins had told story after story in his
own entertaining and inimitable way;
the eligibility code for college men,
with emphasis on the Brown point of
view, had been thrashed out from every
angle, and finally Robbie made his ALI
America procurement. II follows:
Ends-Shelton, Cornell, and Scucy.
Harvard. Tackles-farnum, Brown. and
Gilman, Harvard. Guards-Schlachte
Syracuse. and Spear, Dartmouth. Centre
Cool. Coraell. Quart eTback-Barrett,
Cornell. Observation-Disclosures SYRIA
cuse, and Bergman, Penn State. Full
back--NIahan. Harvard.
EVERYBODY agreed that il just about
hit the mark, and then everybody went
70 bed. Il was high time. The Affairs
Of the football world had been settled
Two or three days ago it was sug
ccsted in this column that Cornell
would do we'll 70 perfect further its de-
fence against the forward pass. The
comment drew the following in reply
from X. >. r.:

won's bother you long. Just facts-no
argument.
ain the Washington and Lee game
nineteen forward passes were attempt
ed by the visitors, and only three com
pleted. One of these three, more lat
cral than forward il type. was complet-
ed from the 5-yard mark for touch
down. Is that a weak defence -
Cornell men are jealous of their
team, and rightly. II has Pennsylvania

before. 70 command rank second TO

stances, IL carries an extra burden.
