PRINCETON, n. j., Dec. 1.-The largest
squad which has reported for any sport
this year turned out to-day when Coach
John A. Kelly, Spider" called for box

This is a far larger number than has
been available for either football or

to limit the number to which he could
devote intensive attention and turned
over the rest TO his assistants. The
fifty-two thus selected will be contest
ants in the intramural ring contests.
Princeton has again decided, however,
not to have a boxing team for intercol-

rule TO that effect.

CURB ON FORWARD
PASS Is UP AGAIN
Strong Sentiment in Favor Of
Limitation of Air Arma-
ment.

Judging from letters which have come
month there is a strong sentiment in
favor of the rules committees putting
a curb OF the rules committees putting
These letters came from close students
of the game. The general public. we
take 1t, would oppose any changes which
would discourage the use Of the pass. no
matter how far the Fingers may hurl the
ball.
Harvard. we hear. Is ready to press
It's plea. advanced through Percy
Haughton last fall. for limitation OF air
armaments. Harvard Is not averse to
using the pass IL everybody else uses 1t.
But ii is averse to tactics which change
football radically and depart from the
true traditions Of the game-tactics Of
the kind through which a fifty yard for
ward pass discounts q touchdown gained
through sound methods by team supe-
rior in real football. There have been
many cases of that kind this season.
The forward pass is a great play when
you are winner and apparently a
sucker" play when you are loser We
note a general disposition among critics
TO blame Bill Roper for placing too great
stress on the pass and ignoring his rum
ming attack. 1t Is held by many that
with such experts as Lourie and Glroy
az his command Roper should have given
TO the Princeton eleven far more weapons
than it showed against either Harvard
or Yale.
IL IS true that Princeton did not de-
veiop the apparent potentialities of its
running game. However, Roper had TO
make ready for Harvard in a hurry and
the pass may be developed quickly. Hav-
ing beaten the Crimson with the pass
the Princeton coach no doubt found the
temptation to stress it against Yale too
great to overcome. And il would have
been dangerous to try something en-
tirely new in the. final few days, with
some OF tie boys in no condition to
scrimmage.
We maintain that the proposition Of
checks and balances i'm football has been
upset by the forward pass. The air
game has unbalanced both attack and
defence and has given an exaggerated
value to one splay. Take that Yale
Princeton game, for instance. Prince
ton had only forward pass and used
it to get one touchdown. If that As
yard toss which Gilroy fumbled under
the impact of Sturm's tackle had been
completed the Tigers would have been
in position TO strike for another touch
down and victory over n team which was
far the stronger and certainly deserved
to win.
There is no doubt that the public
likes the pass 1t likes to see the ball
as much as possible. But As yard passes
are not football. The ability to gain
through the air should not discount
superior ability to gain along the ground.
We would not want to sec a return to
anything like the old football, but there
ought TO be some way to check the
tendency to convert the game into near
basketball.
