TIGERS CRIPPLED
FOR NAVY BATTLE
Garrity, Lourie and Snively in
Poor Condition for
Middle Game
NEWLY LIKELY TO START
BY JACK STRUBING
Former Princeton Quarterback

With a possibility that some Of the
regulars may not be in shape to meet
the Middies, Princeton is putting in a
rather strenuous week. Garrity's knee
is mending slowly, Lourie's ankle seems
to be in bad shape and Snively will
probably be unable to start. This
means that substitutes must be ready
to start the game or jump into breach
at any moment. And substitutes are
not crowding the bench Mt Tigertown
this year. BY substitute Is meant
something almost as good. II that
definition Is to be followed the Tigers
have no substitutes this year when
Lourie and Garrity are referred 70.
They are both In n class by themselves.
Garrity is practically without a peer
at work inside the ends and tackles.
He is not so much line -smasher as
line cutter. That is to say, he does
not beat down the opposing line. he ID
too small for that Instead, he seems 10
force his way through 1t. But the en-
joyable part about Hank is his ability
to keep going after he gets through.
Newly In the man they are trying TO
whip into shape to take Garrity place;
Newly il an entirely different sort OF
back. Where Hank can force his way
through a line, Newby must have
hole. He has not Garrity's power. But
hc Ia faster, He gets through hole
like flash, and once through Is away,
usually reversing his field. Newby can
run the ends also. which is not part OF
Garrity's accomplishments.
Garrity Best on Defense
On the defense, however, there is no
comparison. Garrity is n bear on the
defense, especially breaking up passes,
He has that rare sixth sense, which
leads him unerringly to the ball. So,
while Newby is useful when holes are
opened for him. he is useless otherwise.
Hank would rather force his way
through than be given an open rond.
Newby has a long road to travel before
he gets in Garrity's class.
Euwer is the man who will have to
take Lourie's place should the red
headed flash be hurt or forced to leave
the game. Peck was quarterback on
the freshman team in 1910 and piloted
the Omelettes last year. He is n nice,
steady man, although little lacking In
experience. He does not have the me-
uphily VI lcui it mas huN
no chance to develop strategic ability.
Roper is opening up this week, and
the crowd at Annapolis will see O more
varied attack than has been displayed
in the two opening matinees. At the
same time the quarter will probably
be instructed to keep as close to
straight football ms possible on account
of the scouts. The scouts will have q
lovely afternoon. The Army, Harvard
and Yale will all be there, and Prince =
ton will not display anything which is
not necessary.
Correcting Faults
Aside from the drilling in the new
very heavy. Having once got the
men in shape. Roper believes in letting
them coast along. But there are n few
faults which cropped out Saturday
which must be corrected, and this cor =
rection will be n specially The for
wards must learn to cover kicks with =
out passing the man. The line must
be taught to open holes. The tackling
! must be improved. Some of the open :
field tackling Saturday was pitiful. The
men were too high and too gentle. Ty-
son and Gray must learn to take their
men, and take them so that they don t
get up again and spoil the play. The
backs have to learn to follow their in :
reference better, and the machine still
needs polishing and oiling.
The Navy, too, Is at it hard. chafng
under the defeat of their crew and foot :
ball team last year at the hands of the
Orange and Black, and they are out
for revenge. Folwell is giving them all
they'll take, and they are absorbing il
Meanwhile Harvard and Yale are
coming along and they loom bigger
every day. Harvard trounced Indiana
Saturday, and the Westcrners had az
nicely a balanced team as has been
seen at Cambridge since the war. The
Crimson is big and fast and the tenn
knows football. Yale is more dangerous
this year than they have been since tbr
war. The Tarheels from North Caro- .
lima. were hopelessly outclassed. An[
the. Southern boys have no mean team,
Yale is dangerous.
