The Washington times., 1921-11-22

Harvard tried fiat pass from the
quarterback to the third man in the
tandemswith great success. They also
showed an open formation with a
tackle and an end playing wide and a
nalfpac1c Inside Of tackle helping him
out on close and wide plays. Prince
ton won the game and / think the
score about indicates the comparative
strength Of the two teams on that
date. -. .,.,.
A week Inter Princeton played Yale.
Yale had had an opportunity to watch
the Tigers strategy against Harvard
and their players had not been under
the strain of gruelling game the
week before.
Victory Was Costly.
While Princeton played eleven men
against Harvard, the victory was won
at tremendous cost. Keck, Wilmer,
] stinson and Cleaves were injured. and
and itwas physical impossibility to
. get them into shape in a week. They
went into the Yale game badly Grip
Piled and fought their heads off. A
% man who can't run is at a tremendous
disadvantage in a football game.
Yale won 1877 and this score about rep
4 resents the relative strength OF the
two teams that played at New Haven.
The Yale team came through the
Princeton game more fortunate as re-
, CARDS injuries than we came through
! the Harvard game. Yale went into the
final game at Cambridge fairly conf
dent; their team looked all right. The
men had come through the first big
game and no one was seriously hurt to
! speak Of Their play against Harvard
was a disappointment to Yale men,
"a
The team seemed to lack an intang-
ible. indefinite something. They played
pretty hard in the first quarter and
again not so hard in the second, and
during the last half, they showed
spurts Of good play and spurts of bad
play. The Yale team was mentally,
overturned or stale and they showed
1t by the way they played.
Harvard on the other hand was
mentally alert. They played better
as the game went on and finished
much stronger than when they start
ed. Two weeks ago, a pretty badly
battered team dragged itself out of
Palmer stadium. The rest nj two
weeks accomplished wonders and put
the Harvard team back on their feet.
1t Makes q Record.
This is the first year that I ran
remember that Yale, - Harvard and
Princeton have been faig1ys ssehIy
matched. Usually one or two OF the
three have completely outclassed the
other or the Others as the case may
be.
If Harvard. Princeton and Yale are
going to continue to have good teams,
the team that playssits first game On
the second Saturday of the series is
going to have an advantage, and q
big advantage, over the team that
plays its second game on this
that has a rest Of two weeks
between the first and second game
is going to have just, as big an ad-
vantage over the team that has one
weeks intermissid think the Sre-
suits this season ave saoved -this to
be a fact. st%sS ~.
/ am not suggesting any change
here; we are perfectly satisfied at
Princeton to continue the same ar
rangement. In fact, until this year
I rather favored the one-week inter
mission between the two games being
willing to eke my chance on condi-
ton for the final game. But the i'm
possibility of getting an injured man
back on his feet in Week has shown
there is a good deal to be said in
, favor of the two weeks intermission
Iowa by defeating Northwestern,
fairly earned premier honors in the
middle west. The team has had a
splendid record all fall. Their de-
feat of Notre Dame was probably the
most creditable performance OF the
year. At that, the Northwestern
aggregation forced the Iowans to ex-
tend themselves to the limit, and held
