having threatened she couldn't deliver.
Neidl1nger isn't a quarterback. He
was playing, through force of unkernpt
circumstances, out of position. Beckett
or O'Hearn on this job might hav~
made big difference. But not even
this can quito account for the disap-
pointment in Yale's offensive play.
When the break came in Yaie's defense
1T wasn't so much the line, but around
the. end that Parkin galloped to glory.
And he circled Idike Eddy, supposed :,
be the bulldogs best. Iowa, by fum-
bling badly, threw aside other chances
to score, but when she held the bail
not even the Yale defense, far stronger
than the Yale offense, was up to the
mark.
Yale killed her two best chances to
score by physical and mental failures.
Lovejoy, at center, wrecked the first
one on Iowa's 18-yard line with a low,
wide pass that killed off promising
looking drive. The second march also
ended on Iowa's 18-yard line when
Wight, on the third down, pegged the
ball over the line with no one waiting
for the pass. With another down and
another chance left, this was hardly
instance the Yale drive, beginning to
threaten, had been checked and almost
stopped by the tightening Western de-
tense, which is no instance was called
upon to meet any deception or change.
Lee Parkin, the luminary from West
Waterloo, Iowa, was the main star Of
the afternoon. He ran with speed and
power, and also with a twisting body
movement that threw off two and three
tacklers to the dash. In one return
we counted five Yale tacklers who had
free, open access TO his legs and body,
but who failed to even slow down his
sprint. He is one of those natural
runners, after the manner Of Glen Kill
linger, but not quite up to the Killin-
ger mark just now.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-16


the ball on three occasions was never
thrown at all, because there was no
one in sight TO receive it; on three
other occasions it was either thrown
TO an Iowa rival or an uncovered spot
of New Haven sod.
The absence of three such stars as
Jordan, O'Hearn and Beckett is a heavy
blow. Yet three such sturdy backs as
Mallory, Wight and NeidIinger, work
ing with strong line, ought to gain
more ground and do more damage than
Yale did on Saturday, especially in the
first two periods, when fourteen at
tempts netted exactly twelve yards.
Yale had the experience Of three games,
one easy enough and the other two
stiff, developing contests. a
Iowa had known only one runaway
preliminary, big handicap to face
Yet Iowa, in spite of this handicap,
looked to be a smoother, better devel-
opel team than Yale. Iowa had better
interference, a better run of plays and
a much better passing game. After
that second period touchdown Iowa
slowed down perceptibly in her drive,
either because Parkin and Locke were
run ragged or because the Western
ers were content to fall back upon de-
fensive tactics against an offense that
was showing so little. Iowa had a
touchdown, and there was nothing in
the Yale attack to bother her, esq.,
cially within the 25-yard zone o
why worry?
Yale can look with satisfaction upon
the work of her line from tackle to
tackle, the great defensive play of Mall
| lory and the brilliant punting of Ted
Wight. She can also admire the vain,
to drive their way to the Western
goal line. But there was no vision of
well-oiled machine in action---no feel
ing of a well-organized body with a
well-worked-out system of ground
gaining play. Yale could threaten, but
New-York tribune., 1922-10-16

spread formation, covering kicks and
agility in keeping from being blocked
off in the open, and as alive to op-
portunity.
Team Has Fine Defense
These are details. In co-ordinated
offense-well, that's mostly in the
fense as you'll hnd anywhere at this
time of the year against as wearing
an attack as Colgate had, an attack
which also wore on itself because Of
too much sameness and not enough
relief from doing the same things over
and over, and that doesn't necessarily
imply saying a good deal for the de-
fense. The Colgate offense gained a
great deal, but couldn't gain the goal
line. Without having seen the Yale
Iowa game / have an idea both teams
on occasion had more powerful at
tack than Colgate turned on at Prince
ton, but this is just an impression.
Nassau's attack against Colgate was
chiefly non est. 1t consisted of long
and accurately thrown forward pass,
excellent kicking and keeping the
eyes open. 1t had no threat and no
running strength. Nevertheless, the
Tigers have at least one real good back
in Cleaves, who did tireless and ad-
mirable all-around playing Saturday
and who has improved since last year.
He has to be fiattened before he stops.
He doesn't take it for granted that
he's going to be tackled. The Tiger
backs have been taught to keep going.
They all run it out.
There was no question about the
shifts of both teams being well within
the law. Colgate has hop shift by the
backs; Princeton's shift finds them tax
ing three steps sideways, dance steps
like--like the old polka or something
Both came to full stop all rlgh1,
and with an appreciable pause before
the ball was snapped.

Some Easy Victories
Brown and Syracuse showed how

Lawrence and
Thomas Victors
In Bike Race
San Francisco Pair Steal Up
OH Big Field in Team
Struggle at Velotlrome

Lloyd ("Cat') Thomas and Percy
Lawrence, San francisco boys, lapped d
the field In the two-hour team race at
the New York Velodrome yesterday
afternoon and won the race. Eight
thousand fans. the largest Sunday
crowd Of the season, cheered the two
little stars as they finally succeeded
in tacking lap on the entire field.
All season long Thomas and Lawrence
have tried to gain a lap in these long
runs, but not until yesterday, in the
last meet Of the season at the uptown
track were they successful in turning
the trick
Only puncture to Tommy Fitzsir,-
mons prevented the team of Fit5sim-
mons and Harry Horan from also lap
ping the field. For 1t was the team Of
Horan and Fitzs.mmons, with Lawrence
and Thomas, who dashed away altar
the twenty-eightn mile of the race and
opened up gap of three-quarters Of
lap on the rest Of the field. When it
appeared as if these two teams would
Jap the field Fitzsimmons punctured,
which put him out Of it. Thomas and
Lawrence, though relieving each other
every two laps, fought gamely, and
aIIeT Iour HiiicS u HaAu A"SAaB SuS-
ceeded in gaining the Jap against the
field Of stars.
Gaining lap on small track like
Madison Square Garden is a difficult
enough task, but turning the trick on
a big saucer like the six-lap track UP
in the Bronx is surely some difficult
feat. Thomas and Lawrence picked a
great angle for their lap-gaining stunt
as Eaton, Grenda, Walker and Pap
worth had just faced to the tape in the
hardest sprint of the afternoon, and
when Horan and Thomas got away the
stars were all in from the hard ride
and did not have the speed or stamina
to go after them until they had got
a big lead. Then they were unable to
overtake them.
Alfred Grenda and Orlando Piani
finished second with 68 points; Eddie
Madden and William Hanley finished
third, with 65 points; Reggie McNa-
mara and Ray Eaton finished fourth,
with sc points; Cecil Walker and Alex
McBeath were fifth, with 48 points,
Fred Hill and Clifford Papworth sixth,

ValcAlng tne IQTWaTOS at Worh
against Colgate. forwards often out
charged by the Maroon, they were more
active and agile but embryonic. Ac-
tivity and agility go far to make a
good charge, but the lift and power,
which, we'll applied and In harmony, 60
far to make an effective charge,
were less IN evidence than lot of
individual spryness and willingness.
The close-knit offense of Colgate,
not quite as much SO as Foster San
ford's, but remindful of it, did not test
the Tiger line as much as if it had had
more variety. Colgate did not have
enough plays to harass the Tigers to
the extreme. A criss-cross to one side,
a plunge, quarterback run, fling
to the other side and not enough wide
made it look as if Mr.. Harlow had
come down depending on a few good
plays cleverly done to beat the Jungle
cat.
Not bad scheme sometimes, but
not enough in this instance to fool
continually eleven men as keen for
play as these. AS it was, this offense
was getting through often-fnding
holes where the Tiger tackles weren't,
to paraphrase a baseball expression
and with the Tiger ends drawn over
where they did little more than look
on while Colgate back went humping
along until he ran into the secondary.
If somebody had cleaned out this sec
how far the Colgate backs would have
gone. AS it was, they went far enough,
so far as the Tiger ends and tackles
were concerned.
Tiger Tackles Work Well
l. ~ y
ends and tackles was capital. Prince
adapted to being covered than Col
gates was that Colgate didn't have
near anywhere the chances to run back
punts the Tiger did, and then again
Princeton excelled as much in running
back punts as in kicking them. Here
was one detail, added to immensely
better skill in handling the ball, which
enabled Princeton to beat a more
rugged team and one with faster run
ming backs.
Colgate in the backfe1d resorted to
letting punts strike and roll rather
than trying to catch them, thereby not
only missing chance to return the
ball by running. but finding itself in
the intolerable position Of a kicked
ball coming to dead stop around the
five-yard line. Inability Of the man
playing back to catch punts may have
forced these tactics ON Colgate, but 1T
brought heavy. penalty.
One time on Princeton punt the
man down the field first was not UP to
par as it is exploited at Princeton. A
muffed ball bounded right to his feet,
but he made no Sam White pickup
and rush to touchdown, which he
could have done by picking up the
ball. He didn't even fall on it. It
bounced around his feet until Col
gate player sell on it. Fancy, and by
Princetonl
This was no such Colgate team as
when Yves Gillo and Brooks and An-
derson played, but a right good one
and hard one for anybody to beat.
