What should be one of the best-played
games of the high school series is
scheduled today. Eastern and Western
being booked to meet at American
League Park, at 3:1J o'clock. Neither
eleven is heavy, but both are we'll
, drilled and versatile in their forms of
have so far played the Red and White
and Light Blue and White have shown
foot ball of higher standard than
usually is seen on scholastic fields in
this section.
Eastern had one or two Zig men in
its line. but it is understood that they
will be out of the play today because of
injuries, thus making the two teams
about evenly balanced as far as weight
is concerned. Western has shown more
versatility in it's backfield, but Ea stern
has proved superior in some other re-
Spects. While the game will count for
nothing as far as the championship is
concerned. it should be one of the best
exhibitions of the whole series from a
standpoint of real foot ball.
Not one of the local foot ball teams
did much work yesterday. George
towns squad was given almost a com
plete rest. Gallaudet was unable to put
its fun squad OF the field because Of
in uriSS received in the contest at
Roanoke, George Washington had lit
tie to do and Catholic University and
Maryland State were satisfied to take
it easy after their grueling struggle of
last week.
GallaudetS squad is in such poor
shape that it has been compelled to
cancel the game it's second team had
scheduled with the Maryland State Col
lege Reserve for Saturday. 1t was
stated at the kendal II Green institution
that the reserve players would have to
be pressed into service to play the
game scheduled for the varsity this
week
The Maryland state College will be
! compelled to send crippled team to
New York to meet New York Eniver-
sity Saturday. Seven of the regular
players are in bad shape. Brewer. Into,
Coster and kfspaugh being i'll bed as a
result of injuries received in the strug
gle at Broohland and Murrell and Pc
sey having been out before that with
/! badly bruised knees. Posey. regular
right tackle, and Murrell, right end, did
not play against Catholic L., but it is
probable that at least the former will
| be ready for the New York L. contest.
There is no possible chance for kish-
paugh and Coster to play this week,
though.
Rogers of c. L. had. his bad ankles
further injured, and Mckinney and one
or two other members of the Brookland
eleven are not in the best possible con-
dltion. If {. L. can bring all its best
men around for the game with Mullen
berg Saturday it will be, lucky. The
pennsylvania are said IN be primin
for the Brooklanders and the latter
VIII have to get in good shape if they
expect to win.
Yale and Princeton played their first
foot ball game in 1873. Princeton was
the victor in that first of the many
memorable struggles in which these in
situations have met on the gridiron.
the score being three goals for Prince
ton to none for Yale. For several years
the method of scoring was much differ
ont from what it is at present. From
that time the teams have met in an al
most uninterrupted succession of
games, marking perhaps the longest
and most successful of all the relation
ships that have existed between any
two colleges in one sport. Princeton.
since winning that first contest, has had
varying luck in it's battles with the
Dark Blue. though the latter has the
advantage in the number won. The last
time Princeton defeated Yale was in
1911. when Il recovered tumble resulted
in touchdown. which was better than
Yale's goal from the field. The fol-
lowing two years the scores were tied,
but in 1914 and 1915 Yale was the vic
tor. Here are the results of games be-
