PITY CORNELL AND PRINCE TON
WILL NOT MEET THIS SEASON
Monty" Believes Their Contest Would Decide the Foot
ball Championship if They Came Together; Champion

Not Playing; Discussion Of Big College Teams.


? Harvard The Harvard Princeton bat
! tie, as matter of fact. seems to be
I pretty close to an even thing with
the advantage, if there in any. on the
( side Of Princeton. The Tigers have
! progressed steadily in efficiency from
game TO game, and seem TO possess
more uniform strength than Harvard.
The Crimson is not so well balanced
1t is prodigiOusly strong in particular
spots-Eddie Alahan in the bacfield and
ParsOn and Gilman at tackles The
rest Of the team is only FAIR. and an
eleven so capable as Princeton's MAY
find vulnerable spots in it.
Last saturday Princeton showed no
weakness from the standpoint Of in
dividual play. Each man on the field
was capable perfOrmer-all of them
were valuable to the team. Judging
from reports from Cambridge eye-Wit-
nesses. Harvard showed mediocrity on
the ends, in the guard positions and
at all the backfield posts EXCEPT the
one Mahan occupied
PincetOn's Weakness.
II was plain in the Dartmouth game
that Princeton had paid practically %
attention TO developing an att=c3.-oS
machine TO gain ground from scrim-
mage The Tigers accomplished less
IN this line than in any other phase Of
play Speedy Rush undoubtedly has
been training his men principally in
the rudiments Of the game. teaching
them every possible means of helping
their side as individuals. particularly
IN cases where the men are scattered
well about the field-after q kickoff
or punt or following a tumble. Drill
ing the team into a machinelike and
versatile combination on Offense Will
be the job of the next two weeks
The Tigers excellence in achieving
things when the various men are dis
trIbuted over wide area compares
1aTorably with the grade of efficiency
shown in that department by any team
In years player away off by himself
somewhere, yards away from the BAH,
would find way TO make himself Just
as active as the fellows in the thick
OF the play Such a man generally
would do one Of two thingS-either
make Decline full speed toward the
place where the ball was. or spill some
Dartmouth man who happened to be
near him 1t was this sort of thin
that made possible Tihbett's 40--ard
run TO q touchdown.
Interesting Comparisons.
The Harvard Princeton game will
present a number Of interesting COM
parsons. with Eddie Mahan. Harvard's
captain, as the Crimson side of the
affair. II viii be worth watching to
see how his Dunting fares against that
of the wonderful Eddie briggs. Dave
Tlbbotts drop kicking will offer an
other feature that viii be looked for
keenly. with Mahan attempting similar
work for the Crimson Mahan and
Tibbott come in for more comparison
in the matter of running back kicks
In this speciality we believe AIahan viii
set the better Of il, but We don't be
heve he viii punt as wei as briggs or
drop kick as well as Tibbott-grant-
ing that opportunities for drop kicks
arise on each side
OFF Day in Football.
This is a sort of off dav in foot
ball Today's games are of Importance
chiefly because of their bearing on the
future Yale has been figured as be-
ing about out Of the championship race
because Of its defeats by Washington 4
and Jefferson's eleven and that Of Vir-
GINA If the Blue is to come back
and beat either Harvard or Princeton
Il will have TO show some progress 3
today, when it clashes with Colgate,
team which beat the Army decisivelv :
II looks as If Yale is due for a beat
ing again in this Colgate affair.
Princeton ought to have no trouble I
at all scoring upwards Of 20 points .
against Williams this afternoon. and }
Harvard figures to give the versatile .
Penn state eleven a beating without
undue exeruon- CornelIs game with !
Virginia Polytechnic and Pittsburg's 7
with Allegheny should be walkOvers /
Lafayette ought TO be easy for Penn
