Coach Thorp then sent in four sub
stitutea. "Tell the boys" he toldd
them, shat the scores nothing to
n,othing SO far as Pm concerned and
that the games beginning right now.'s
The message was delivered. The
team rallied instantly and during that
period and the next and the next the
other side couldn't get near enoguh to
score touchdown and scored only
by a goal from the field. In the last
period touchdown was made on N.
I. U. and that because a fumbled ball
struck goal post and bounded favor
ably for the home team. Holding a
bigger and stronger opponent to nine
points In three periods after being
submerged under twenty-three in the
first few plays of the game was
spirited and rlucky brace.
Bates was reversing when the tackle
was made which broke his leg. He
had caught the kickoff and had run
the ball back twenty yards when he
was nailed. He was in the act Of
reversing, according to Thorp, and
his legs were crossed The break was
between knee and ankle, and the in
Jured player was carried off on a
bench, the broken leg dangling. Not
a pretty sight,
Eddie Lovejoy, one of Yale's SUBJ
stitute linemen, not particularly big,
One of the things he can do is to lie
flat on his stomach and shest, face
to the floor, his arms stretched out at
length beyond his head, his toes
stretched as far as possible the other
way. Lots of people can do that, but
wait a moment, there's more to the
act. He then proceeds to raise himself
clear and free from the floor, fully
foot on the tips Of his fingers and
the tips Of his toes. That's where the
stunt comes in as feat.
Syracuse's method of kicking it's
tries-for-point, the new name for goal
from touchdown is from placement.
mound for it, puts it on the mound,
supporting its upper point with his
hand, and bingo! Up walks the kicker
and kicks 'er over. 1t appears from
such meager data as given in the
papers on this detail, that most of the
try for points or tries for point or
tries for points are by drop kicks.
Harvard and Yale are doing it in that
way, also w. and j. Columbia prefers
the place Kick; Layfayette and Ford
ham the drop kick. Many Of the
scores sent in are minus this import
ant information so it Is difficult to
get sufficient data, but it appears that
the drop is the favorite. Doubtless
it depends on which your kicker can
do the better. Nobody yet has tried
forward pass or running play.
Yale VS.. Iowa will be the chef
d'ouevre hereabouts next Saturday,
but the Brown-Syracuse and Prince
on-Colgate games both bulge with
interesting possibilities. 1t has been
my observation that Princeton does
best those years when nothing won
derful Is expected from her and vice
versa; at least the Tigers have scored
some notable triumphs-no victory is
victory, it seems, unless it iss a
"triumph"-when the other the other
side was expected to win. So don't
think the Nassau people will be any
soft November mark. Plastic material
sometimes produces more than mater
ial ready to hand. But be that as it
may, Colgate is thought we'll of, is
reported to have the makings, and
this game is considered a toss-up.
The presence of Harlow as coach at
Colgate is banked on to a certain ex-
tent to give the Tigers rub.
