MIRACLE IF CORNELL
FAILS TO BEAT Penn

NEW YORK. November 2S.-Unless
something absolutely miraculous hap
pens Cornell should defeat Pennsyl-
Vania on Franklin Field. Philadel-
phia, tomorrow. This game is one of
the classics of the season, a contest
that has its roots deep in traditions.
To appreciate just how the wheel
OF fate turns in sports as in life, con-
slider the hopeless spirit In which
Cornell teams went to Franklin
Field prior to 1920 and how conf
IDENTIFY since. A great coach plus ex-
cellent material Is the answer.
The writer is not so certain that
there Is any, defense against Cor
nelrs off-tackle plays. Many coaches
have thought they could stop it, but
they never have. There is nothing
elusive about 1t, but precision is
absolute; every detail of Cornell's de-
fense is mechanically perfect.
Dobie has that faculty which so
few coaches have of bringing about
complete coordination among backs
and between the line and backfield.
When that is done there is no great
need of deception, granted that power
and speed exist.
Cornell has not played any of the
teams that stand out at the top this
season, but her manner of showing
under Colgate, Dartmouth and CO.
lumbia is not to be ignored. Penn
sylvania, struggling with new
coaching system, handicapped by In
juries, has been beaten by Maryland,
Lafayette and Penn State.

How Foot Ball Is PLAYED
by SOL METZGER.

loot BALL genera1ship has
been very well described as
follows: Anything that
quarterback does and gets away
with is good generalship; anything
that he attempts and fails to execute
is poor generalship." You can get
a game, but no two games are eve
valuable to a team is one who is
every situation that arises in ever
We frequently have been asked
this question before, SO we may repeat
in our answer this time. Most teams
play their game on the basis of never
passing In their own territory and of
only passing in their opponents ter
ritory under necessity and on the
third down. Also, most teams pre-
fer to kickoff rather than to receive.
All such rules must be discarded
under certain conditions For ex-
ample, if a team is playing in the
fourth quarter and it's opponents
have the lead, 1T seems reasonable
to drop the rule about kicking-off in
order to receive the kickoff and get
the ball: The sole chance to regain
pendent upon possession of the ball.
If you let the other team receive 1T
You are lessening your chances OF
scoring.
Also. when behind, the rule about
passing in ones own territory ts
usually abolished. Princeton tied
Harvard a few years ago by doing
this. Many teams have come from
behind by dropping such PRINCIPLES

OLD GOLF BALLS NO
ENIGMA TO BRITONS

LONDON. November 2S.-Nearly all
Of Britain's most famous amateur
golfers went down to Woking recent
Iy to test their skin with the old
gutta ball. which disappeared from
the tees twenty-one years ago upon
the invention in America of the rub
ber-core ball
A competition was held between the
"Hasbeens" and the "Neverwasers,"
those of the gray-haired school who
had learned the game with the solid
old gutta and the younger men who
took up golf after the appearance of
the more resilient ball. 1t ended a.!
square.
Curiously enough. the day proved .
triumph for youth and genius, rather
than for experience. Roger Wethered.
the twentyfiveyear- amateur
champion, played as we'll with the
gutta. a new thing in his golf life. as
did any of the great men of the past.
He reeled off pars and brides and got
a card of rs, despite a at the home
hole, where he slashed his drive into
a puddle of water.
In the afternoon he won the stroke
competition with a return of Il. His
driving and wooden play through the
lalTWdNS WAS HdTu anu dCCuIdle. anu
he reached all but two of the long
holes with his second shot, which
proves that the stolid old sutta will
get there If Won hit il hard enough.
Where Wethered and. for that mat
ter. most of the others misjndged the
ball was on the greens. They thought
it would be slower than the newer.
livelier balls. and tapped it too hard,
many puts running past the cup
Most of the players had beaten the
gutta into the shape OF an egg or even
an eggplant after few smashes at
it, and new balls had TO be supplied
on an average of every third hole.

the final game of their respective
seasons.
The foot ball Representatives of the

Haughton foot ball in 1908, when the

1912
During the five seasons prior to
Haughton's regime at Cambridge,
Dartmouth won two. tied two and lost
once in engagements with the Grim
son, but the tide swung with the
advent of the famous tutor.
The green. which defeated Harvard,
16 to 0, this year. holds out high hope
of victory tomorrow. But the Han
overians have slumped TO some extent
since midseason, while Columbia has
come forward steadily. despite re-
verses. throughout the season. 1t is
no secret that Haughton mas pointed
his men for the Dartmouth game.
With the brilliant Kopisch leading
its offensive. the Blue and White may
cause an upset
On comparative records, however,
Dartmouth shows to better advantage.
The only basis of comparison is
through Cornell. which downed the
green 80 to 7, and a week later
trounced Columbia. 35 to 0. That
was Dartmouth's only reverse. how
ever, while Columbia also lost to
williams and Pennsylvania. and was
tied by Amherst.

Stanford seems to have been beaten
because she was newer in the funda-
mentals of foot ball than the Bears
and lacked that instructive knowledge
of what to do at the right instant
Warner may be relied upon to correct
this and in view of the splendid
material that will be available it
may be well that the supremacy of
the Bears will see the beginning of
decline.
At least there will be a much
closer rivalry than there has been in
recent years and no doubt California
will welcome this since a we'll
matched rivalry is the essence of
good sport.
AS to stanfords play last Saturday
it may be said she gained 81
yards from scrimmage as against the
Bears 81 yards and completed
a, greater number of forward passes.
She made one march of 81
yards to California's 10-yard line;
pass. all of which may be regarded
as an augury for the future.
Yale's well laid plans to give Har-
ward real beating We're frustrated
by a water-covered gridiron. Just
what would have happened had the
field been dry will be question that
Harvard and Yale partisans will long
that Crimson was prepared to put up
a strong defense and there is reason
for believing that Yale's gains
would not have been consistently
Sequential
On the other hand, as in the Prince
ton game, it is altogether reasonable
to assume that Stevens, Neidlinger,
Richeson and Neale would have been
shot loose for occasional long gains
that would have placed Yale in posi-
ton to strike for score-just as hap
pened in the Eli-Tfger contest.
But since speculation over what
games carries little significance there
IS no need to carry the epic farther.
With the conditions as they were
however, both teams had an equal
chance to win. 1t depended upon
where and how the breaks went. And
it is interesting to note that when
Pond recovered the ball he was able
to step almost at once into an area of
some 80 yards which comprised
the only part of the field free of
water.
Vic Schwartz has not received credit
for piece of All-America officiating
headwork in the ale-Princeton game.
Williams, a Tiger sub went into the
game, took his place in the backfield
and when the signal was called he
didn't get 1t, or pretended he didn't.

YALE NEWS REGRETS
INCIDENT AT HARVARD

NEW HAVEN, Conn. November
2s.-The Yale News calls the action
of Yale men in tearing down goal
posts in the stadium Saturday after
the foot ball victory bad manners"
1t says: Complete wreckage of
Harvard's foot ball furniture seemed
somewhat drastic, though the won
der was that after the lean years
the sons of Eli did not attempt to
remove the stadium itself. If Har-
ward wins in New Haven one may
expect to find hawkers, bartering
pieces of the bowl after the game.
For the destruction of the goal
posts there was some excuse. For
the subsequent conduct of some uni
versity men there was none. To
drag down the Harvard colors from
the Union and other places was ex-
cessively bad-mannered. For such
rudeness was wretched sportsman
