soon are forgotten.
/ do not know what instructions are
given the Princeton men regarding the
ardor of their playing, but some asso-
citation with and Observance of the
methods of Tiger coaches and players
this fall give me impressions of their
sport standards and tactics utterly at
variance with intimations that they
would stoop to anything unfair or to
deliberate effort to incapaeitate rival
That there are Harvard graduates in
this city and, for all l know, elsewhere
who are not in favor of the Princeton
game is true. They believe the whole
season should be based on the Yale
game. But so far as know they have
made no move to assert their policies,
and there has been no official Harvard
talk whatever about disseminating the
Princeton game. Bob Fisher, head
coach at Cambridge, says that so far
as he knows the game will be kept on
the schedule, and that ought to carry
q good deal of weight.
The writer had talk last Saturday
with Lothrop Wilmington, of Harvard,
before the game, in which the former
Crimson captain said: What | did say
(referring to his speech of the eve
ming before, which created something
OF a stir was that if the new Harvard
Yale-Princeton agreement limits us to
five games next fall the Princeton game
would have to be the third one on the
schedule, as we should insist on two
weeks between the Princeton and Yale

Parke Davis. who coached Lafayette
in 1895, says that eleven was the big
gest single squad he ever saw. He
coached them and has seen many
squads and ought TO know. strader,
inches tall, and Holmes, one Of the
guards, extended upward from the
ground q mere bagatelle Of six feet
five inches. Rinehardt, the crack guard,
was six feet two and half inches;
Roland, guard, six feet three inches;
Wiedenmayer, tackle, six feet one inch;
the only Fielding Yost, who played
tackle, was six feet; Hill. one of the
ends, six feet two inches, and Bray,
fullbaek, six feet. Put end to end and
pointing upward these gentlemen could
reach over the top of the Woolworth
Building and down on she other side
OF that famous skyscraper far enough
to pick your pocket, had they been OF
that surreptitious bent.
Lafayette that year had a-great line
oy.d rrraoA hao Thara No, haar,
few better guards than Rinehardt. He
had an uncanny faculty Of diagnosing
opponents intentions. Besides Bray,
Walbridge and Barclay were in the
backfeId, and Barclay was a deer. He
was one of the fastest steppers ever
in the game. He played professional
baseball later and was good one.
The Cornell eleven has been run-
ming up high point total for two
years. The Comedians total against
Dartmouth for the last two games is
unusual for two teams of the artistic
status Of these two. Cornell made SO
points last year and % this--82 points
in all. Yale's scoring for two success
sive years against Harvard was q
meagre nothing, and Harvard's total
for those two years-77--almost as
large.
The Metre Dame players travel light
on the gridiron. Rockne believes in
as light rigging az is consistent with
warmth and protection. and his men
never have been accused Of slowness.
He has devised knickerhockers which
fit tightly at the knee, have enough
looseness above for padding, but not
sufficient slack for an opponent to get a
good handful of breeches in his efforts
to bring down his man.
The list Of first class guards at Har-;
ward Is long and unbroken one. After

fifteen years and the best at Harvard
