proud. OF course, there is the consid
Ieration that Rutgers line was trifie
weakened by injuries to a couple of
regulars, but even so, the performance
of the southern institution in holding
one of the best teams in the north to
"a tie score is indicative of another
ombination much better than the or
dinary. For the last three years Wash
ington and Lee has turned out elevens
capable of holding their own with the
best. barring some few of the biggest
universities. and it seems that it is not
falling below that standard this sea-
son.
The line of demarkation between the
so-called big" and Secondary" COL
leges in athletics is being narrowed
each year. Hardly d week goes by
now that there is not some victory
registered by one of the lesser known
institutions over the larger, and other
games played in which close scores
are chalked up. Schedules are becom-
ing more interlaced, too than ever be-
fore, and soon there will be no differ
ence in the majority of the colleges
and universities which have 1000 or
more students. 1t will take some time
to sweep away the prestige of Yale,
Harvard, Princeton and Cornell and it
will never be rendered entirely ex-
tinct. but il is lessening with each
season in the pre-schedule compari-
sons.

ELI LINE MAY BE ALTERED.
Callahan Is Expected to Succeed
Charley Taft at Center.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, October 10
No injuries which will keep a single
Yale player out of the game next Fri
day with the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute were received Saturday against
Lehigh. Traver Smith, quarterback,
received a slight bruise on the knee,
but he will return to practice in day
or two. He has won a clear title to
his position through brilliant field gem
eralship, and his work Saturday easily
eclipsed that of Chenoweth, the Lehigh
quarterback.
In preparation for the game Friday,
only single change is contemplated
by the Yale coaches. Charley Taft, it
is felt. will prove a more valuable
player al tackle than at center. and he
will this week go back to that posi-
ton as first substitute. 1t is expected
that John Callahan, who began a
month ago at first string center, will
resume scrimmage today. He has been
shelved by an injury.
Another plan which the coaches have
discussed is that of giving Rex Hutch
inson. the 190-pound fuIback. a trial at
center. He has not adapted himself to
the team play of the Yale backfield,
and JACQUES has easily won first string
selection for the position. Aside from
center rush. it is doubtful whether an
other change will be made in the Yale
lineup during the remainder of the
season. The novelty of Friday game
will be tried at Yale this week for the
first time. because the Yale bowl has
been turned over for use in giving the
Yale pageant next Saturday.

BY n. C. BYRD.

Some of the greatest games in the
history of foot ball should result this
fall between Yale, Princeton and Har-
ward. There has not been a time in the
last FIVE seasons when all three teams
appeared to be going along at about
the same rate of development as much
as now. 1t would take a mighty high
powered microscope, if the instrument
could be used for such work, to find
the difference that may exist in the
strength of the three elevens at pres
ent.
Princeton beat Tufts by to and
Harvard lost to that team by 3 to 4.
but that does not mean that there is
difference in the power of the Harvard
and Princeton teams. Harvard met
Tufts week earlier than did Prince
ton and went against a series of shifts
for which il had not been coached par
ticularly on the defense. Princeton,
forwarned against the offensive tactics
of Tufts. had a week in which to pre-
pare to thwart. them. Yale won IL
to game from Lehigh, one of the
most powerful of secondary teams,
which shows that the Dark Blue is not
TO bestrified with nor beaten by any 40
to 0 scores this season
Strange to say, too, the development
Of all three teams Seems TO, be- along
the same general lines. Each has built
up a capable line and has. developed
that to a much more advanced point
than the backfeld. Experiments still
are being carried on with the men be-
hind the line. but as far as the for
wards are concerned Yale, Harvard and
Princeton seem to be well fixed and de-
veloped. When the clashes come in
November they Will be worth seeing.
Some of the most remarkable struggles
between these institutions in the his
tory of their athletic relationship may
be looked for.

ATHLETES WIN
Gain Premier Honors in Swedish
Games, Ted Meredith Defeat
ing Champion.

STOCKHOLM, October - (via Lon
don, October 16).-American athletes
carried off the lions share of the hon
ors on the opening day of the track
events at the stadium here. Competing
against athletes of the Scandinavian
countries the Americans captured three
races, the 100 meter dash, 400 meter
run and the 500 meter relay race.
In the 400 meter run Ted Meredith,
the great middle distance runner, who
hung up a new world record here in
the Olympic games in 1912, defeated J.
Bolin, the holder of the 800 meters
Swedish record in sensational style.
Meredith ran one of the best races
seen here since the 1912 games. He led
all the way and covered the distance
in the fast time of 40 10 seconds.
Although Meredith left America in
poor condition he was at his best when
he reached here. He had trained on
the boat, and while going to his mark
declared that he would have no excuse
TO offer if beaten by the Swedish cham
pion. When. he sprinted past the judges
in front the big crowd that filled the
stands gave him a great ovation.
In the dash it was America first, sec
ond and third They swept the board
with Joe Looms of the Chicago A. a.
first. Andy Ward of Chicago second and
Bob Simpson of Missouri third. Loomis
sped the 100 meters in 10 $40 seconds.
Relay Easy for Americans.
In the relay race the American
sprinters scored an easy victory. Loo
mis-, Simpson, Ward and Fred Murray
of California sped 200 meters each in
fast time. They outran their oppo-
nents all the way. covering the dis
tance in the fast time of 1908.
1t was in the running high jump that
their first defeat came. In this event
