YALE AND HARVARD
 CLIMBING UPWARD
(Continued From Twelfth Page)

forward pass Princeton had been de- cidedly outplayed by the Dartm outh team. The Dartmouth backfield showed more power to advance the ball than did Princeton's. An ef- fective punch was lacking in the charge of the Tiger backs. On one occasion, when within striking dis tance of the Dartmouth goal, instead of continuing 8 running attack on the Green line and around the ends Princeton resorted to the forward pass as a scoring play which was trusting altogether too much to luck. That the majority of forward passes fail proves conclusively the chance a team takes in using it at critical time.
 Defense Of Tigers Is Sturdy.
 Princeton's defense looks strong enough for this time of the season. It can close up and fight back stub bornly when the occasion demands It. It is very doubtful, even if Dart mouth had not fumb bled SO frequently, whether the Greens backs could have penetrated the strong Tiger forwards within the 20-yard line. It IS se- rious reflection on Princeton's alert ness that Dartmouth's fumbles were recovered by it's own players. Pr1nce- ton surely has not the ability at fol- lowing a loose ball that some Of It's elevens of the past have shown. The New Jersey men have much strategy and aggresiveness to develop for the big games next month.
 Yale showed marked improvement in the forward pass carnival at New Haven against Washington and Jeff ferson, the mountaineers who reVel in the fact that they have defeated the Blue for two years past. The work of Tad Jones' football students is still ragged, but each week the Yale eleven shows increased power and aggressiveness. When the fin- ishing touches are administered with in the next couple of weeks follow CTS of the Ellis expect to see a team which will make them forget some of the elevens of the last few seasons. True Washington and Jefferson had a lighter line than Yale, and the Yale backs had somewhat yielding target

 w ton and Jefferson by sheer power, but in the meantime the eleven is being of the game. That a stronger de- fense will have to be worked up against the forward pass game was shown by the fact that the boys from the Pennsylvania mountains were able to score twice by accurate heaves of the oval. Princeton and liar this play against Yale, and the Blue will have to have better defence against 1t than they now possess.
 Hardly less of a surprise than the Harvard walkover against Cornell was Penn's crushing defeat by Pittsburgh AS the season progresses this eleven Of Glenn Warmers looms up as one of the top-notch aggregations of the autumn. After Penn's encouraging showing again Penn State it was be- lieved that the Quakers would at least give Pittsburgh a severe test; but the power of the Smoky City team proved to be greater than William Penn's Ooyo NOuIo SOp6 WILL
