ginia gave the Tigertown football,
The victory of Jock sutherlard's
Lafayette pupils over Pop Warmers
Panthers in Pittsburgh Saturday
was one of the best early season
games Of the year. Both OF these
aggregations were frightened up for
a real battle. The fact that Suther-
land won last years contest caused
Warmer to seek revenge this year.
A fumbled pass led to the undoing
Of the Smoketown crew. Up to the
time that this misplay took place
there was little to Judge between
the elevens. The victory gives La
fayette quite a boost for the cham
pionship honors. Their win was the
best scored by any big team since
the opening Of the season.
Tho problem that cOnfronts Bill
Roper at Tigertown has most Of
the Orange and Black rOOters won.
dering II Princeton Is going to have
q championship contender this
year. The loss Of such sterling
football players rs Stan keck,
mer and Ralph Gilroy Is enough
to try the patience Of any coach.
II Roper comes through with fly
ing colors he is going to earn ma
tional reputation for himself as the
miracle man Of football. Not in years
has a Big Three" member had so
much inexperienced material on
hand.
Johns Hopkins held Princeton to
one touchdown up to within ore
minute Of the close Of the third
period. Ray Van Orman, the Johns
Hopkins leader. has poor material
to work with. Few expected him
to do anything more than make a
creditable showing against the Tiy-
ers.
That his team played 80 we'll is
source Of much pride to Johns Hop
kins rooters but OF much concern
to Tigertown followers.
The poor showing made against
Virginia, coming after the Hopkins
game, made those in charge OF al
fairs OF old Nassau put on their
thinking caps.
Something heroic must be done II
Princeton Is to come out victorious
against Colgate in Palmer stadium
on Saturday. Dick Herlow Is bring
ing a real. first-class organization
from Clinton. They are going 10 In
wade Tigertown with hopes OF twlst'
ing the Tigers tail.
Many sport followers who nave
watched Harlow work with ms laus
during the past three weeks reel that
Princeton Is in for hard DAY "orh'
Harvard showed its strength In
the last half against Holy cross;
Any team that can roll up ~

seriously In any company.
I'm TO the time that Buel. Fittz.

wild against Holy Cross 1t looked as
II Bob Fisher was going to have
hard Job in rounding his team into
shane for their early season con-
test.
After the Holy Cross victory Wis
itors to Cambridge can come ore

ward team shows good form 1t sell
dom loses II. Take 1t from me,
from now on Harvard Is going to
show scoring strength in all OF It's
sames. 1t looks as II the Crimson
eleven has the best backfield in the
East.
II Fisher can develop 4 line, he
is going to have a whale OF an out.
fit. The next couple Of weeks will
decide this for the football fame.
Lines are not things to be made
overnight. Hard work and steady
practice is what develops a set OF
husky forwards into a frs: class
rush line.
Yale has won her games by small
scores. Tad Jones Is a foxy mentor.
You may take it from me that the
Ellis have more class than they
have shown to date.
It is much better to win by q
touchdown or two and have the
team feel that they must continue
to work in order 20 be a first.claSs
aggregation than to have the players
feel from the outset that they are
invincible.
Yale is not going to suffer from
overconfidence this seasnn No ap-
prehension need be had for the Ellis
this early in the season. They are
very likely to show something like
their real strength against Iowa on
Saturday. After that game some.
thing can be said of the true
strength Of the New Haven outfit.
Until then most critics ara watch
ing the moves Of those in charge up
at Yale with a feeling that what Is
