New York, Nov. THE football
map today shows some modifica-
tons and Kaleidoscope changes as
result of recent games, but there
have been no startling upsets in
the last week. Nevertheless, the
recent play Of the leading teams
showed some most enlightening
features.
Princeton is a brilliant and fight
ing Tiger team, but it is none too
steady and is quite vulnerable at
times. Harvard is improving. Bet
ter coordination is apparent among
the Crimson players and, like Yale,
the team has host Of star back
field men. In fact Harvard is
rather embarrassed by plethora
of riches in this respect as some
of these stars must perforce rest on
the side lines.

Powerful Triangles To

The Chicago Bears turned the trick

any time. The breaks must be
with the winner. The Triangles'
strength is proved by their score
less tie with Canton three weeks
ago, two weeks before Canton
achieving z to victory over the
Bears. In that game the Triangles
made six first downs as against
two for the Cantons.
The Triangles have "Jiggs" Ul-
lery, giant halfback, recently taken
on. Ullery is a six-footer and
weighs 200 pounds. He finished
ub at Penn State last fall. He is
classed as speedy in spite of his
great bulk.

Glad to be back home, the lnde-
pendents settled down TO practice
this afternoon In preparation for
one Of the toughest games OF the
schedule-that with the Dayton tn
angles at Douglas park next Sun
day. The team should enter the
conflict in the proper spirit after
their failure to get more than an
even break with Green Bay and the
fact that they were deprived OF a
chance to stage a comeback at

what class of opposition the fam

word that he considers his 1922
aggregation even stronger than the
great forward passing combination
of 1920, which holds the distinction
of having defeated the Independ-
ents by larger score than any
team since the islanders stepped
into national football circles.
That contest was played on a
cold day and in a driving snow

GIANTS SEARCH
| TALL And UNCUT

BY JOHN b. POSTER

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, N. Y, Nov. THE
other National league clubs are
rapidly coming to the realization
that the New York club is even to-
day a whale and that it stands ex-
cellent chances of performing as
Jonah. In spite Of the success of
the Giants in 1922, the management
is not satisfied with the team stand
ing in a haven OF security as re-
CARDS next years pennant. The club
has not finished Strengthening the
pitching stat.
Baseball men might just as well
learn now that McGraw wants that
1923 pennant and he wants another
worlds series to come after it. He
won three National league pennants
in succession in 1911, 1912 ard
1913. He won two in succession in
1921 and 1922 and he also won two
worlds series in those years. If he
can put over q pennant and third
successive worlds series In 1923
he feels he will be able to retire
with a managerial record which
may never be equalled again and
which is certainly most unlikely to
be touched in his lifetime.
If there is one thing McGraw is
proud of it is his ability to move
the cards we'll enough to win pen
nants. He does not boast about I,
but he likes to feel that he has done
it and he would like to be the only
man in his league to win three per-
nnnts in succession twice and to
win three worlds series In three
successive years.
That is why the Giants manage
ment is willing to keep on strength
ening the pitching staff. Minor
league owners have heard that the
Giant officials are going to the
meeting of the minors at Louisville
next month just to be on hand in
case any one offers a bargain in
healthy young ball players. Most
of the healthy young bali players
| seem to have been safely lassoed
and put in the corral. But if any
minor league owner has kept a
| prize under cover it is probable
that he may secure an introduction
| to the Giant checkboOk.
That is another way of saying
that the New York club does not in
tend to put ont any foolish money,
but if there is anything that savors
of pitching skill in sight, the Giant
| team is in the market. McGraw is
out to get running mate for Scott
and the two left-handers.

decisive setback at the hands of
Syracuse. The analysis of the
great football played at the Polo
grounds Saturday reflects almost
as much credit on Lafayette. the
losers. as it does on Washington

game was won by superior wit at
the critical moment. But the
brand of football shown by each

Passes for Point.
The efforts of the rules commit
tee to inject new element into the
try for point after touchdown
would seem to have been fully JUS
titled and successful. The critics
had agreed that the try for point
probably always would be by the
medium of a drop-kick. Then along
comes Washington & Jefferson and
scores the winning point in the
greatest and closest game of the
season by entirely crossing Lafay-
cite and putting over new for
ward pass. The beauty of it was
that it was a perfect piece of judg-
ment. A clay field. so sticky that
mud clogged his cleats. had caused
the Lafayette kicker to miss his
goal earlier in the game, SO Wash
ington & Jefferson took no chances
but switched to the forward pass
method.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-Ilya Tolls
toi, in appearance a dead ringer for
his iliustr4ous sire, Leo Tolstoi. whose
philosophy OF passive resistance he is
carrying on, called on President Harding
today for a chat or Russian conditions.
The younger Tolstoi IS an outspoken
opponent Of recognition Of the BOlshevist
government. He looks for complete
collapse Of the regime Of Lenin and
Trotzki this summer. For America or
the allied powers 10 make loans to the
soviet government. he believes would be
sheer folly. for, he says, 1T would only
prolong the agony Of the Russian peas
ants under the Bolshevist yoke" Even
now. he says, Lenin and TrotzAi are
tottering on their high thrones because
they are getting near the bottom OF the
Russian treasury box. When their
finances are exhausted, he says the red
army will turn upon its masters. An
instance Of Bolshevis. ust Of power
