MARYLAND PRAISED
BY YALE OFFICIALS

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, November 12.
Yale foot ball officials and players
are singing the praises of the Unfver-
sity of Maryland team, which Satur-
day held the Ellis to 16 to IA score
and twice threatened to win.
General opinion is that the south
erners are the best coached team seen
here this year. and individually a fine
set of sportsmen and Yale wishes to
feature game with them next sea-
son.
Scout reports from the south made
it clear to the Yale coaches that a
hard game was to be expected and no
regular players whatever were sent
to Princeton.
Yale men universally attested to
the cleanliness of the visitors play
and no Eli player was injured.
Coach Tad Jones will order only
one days scrimmage this week, the
first eleven meeting either the
Freshmen or the scrubs on Wednes-
day. Tomorrow only talks by the
coaches are planned to point out les
sons of the Maryland campaign.
Only Charley Comerford and Ralph
Jordan of the coaching staff remained
here Saturday. On the return of the
others from Princeton, the statement
was made that Yale can look for two
strenuous games with the Crimson
and the Tigers.
No lineup changes are planned at
Yale. but Trainer Connors stated that
Blair, Milstead, Neidlinger and Miller
will be in tip-top condition for the
Princeton invaders on Saturday.

PFAFFMAN, HARVARD HERO
BEGGED TO STAY ON TEAM
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associates Press
Three years ago, 80 runs n HAf-
ward story, n long, lean, Eangling
youth with tears Of dismay In his
eyes, learned that he had been
dropped from the Harvard foot
ball squad.
"C0ach Ffsher,1 he said, 1T think
i ought to be given n real chance
to show my foot ball ability.n
Coach Fiaher accorded the youth
another glance. He found little
that would indicate unusual foot
ball promise, for there was scarce
ly an extra ounce of flesh ON his
bOny framework.
Coach Fisher was framing his
hnal denial when the young man
announced, "Why, Coach Fisher.
I'm the best drop-kicker ON the
squad"
.Come out to the field and show
me- was Fishers order.
The young man did exactly that
thing, and Saturday, having clunE
to the Harvard foot ball squad
throughout the three years, he re-
paid Coach Fisher for his fnduI-
gent act.
The young man was Karl Pfaff-
man, the substitute who when
called from the sfdelines mt Palmer
Stadium delivered the 25-yard drop
kick which enabled Harvard to
break the Princeton winning
streak.

HARVARD'S CRlPPLES

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November IL.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November IL.
Happy in their victory at Princeton.
most of Harvard's players returned
from New York yesterday, but they
are stiff and sore after their partici-
patton in one of the hardest fought
battles in recent years. But in two
weeks time Coach Fisher expects to
have every man in condition for Yale.
1t was reported that jenkins thigh
has been broken and that Nc
Clone had broken his knee. Jenkins
hurt the knee which has been more
or less bothersome this fall and is
not likely to play for ten days Nc
Clone is able to walk with a cane and
will be able to play against Brown if
Fisher wishes to use him.
Coburn and Cordingly were badly
battered. but were not seriously hurt.
and, in a few days the Cambridge
coaches believe they will be ready to
start full speed ahead for the Yale
game.
Jim Coombs. who secured the ball
just before Pfaffman's field goal, is
the Cambridge hero now, just as big
one as J. Coolidge, the end who ran
the length of the field against Yale
nine years ago.
Jack Hammond was saved Satur-
day. This, with the Yale game ahead,
makes Harvard about as happy as the
victory itself.
Whether Fisher will use a sub team
against Brown on Saturday has not
been decided. bunker needs more
work at guard and If Howe is right
he also will need work in a game.

Harvard knew what Beattie of
Princeton was expected to do and
stopped him pretty much all of the
afternoon. Princeton men thought
him slow, but they did not realize
that Harvard was on top of him be-
fore he got started. Ewing was not
asked to do much for Princeton ex-
cept to defend, and in that respect
he played the Mallory part. So far

Pond. Bench and Cottle seem to be
superior in some ways individually
and in many ways collectively.
The great speed possessed by the
Yale backs, take them as a whole,
would seem to be able to overcome
the attack power Of the Princeton
backfield, and naturally that would
decrease the Tigers chances tc 9core.
There is little to choose between
the ends. In the Harvard game the
Tiger ends showed more improve
ment than the other players. Yale
has clever and fast ends. In the other
positions of the line Yale seems to
have some the better of 1t. At center
they excel a trifie; at guard they are
perhaps not as certain of their line
as last year, and at tackle they are
superior to Princeton if the best men
are able to play.

Big Three Attack Harvard and Princeton Are Strong Defense
PRINCETON TO SEEK
STRONGER OFFENSE

PRINCETON. N. J.. November a.
Gloom reigned on tho Princeton
campus today az a result of Satur-
days defeat at the hands Of Harvard,
the first time since before the war
that the Crimson has registered a
victory over the Tigers.
Faith in the ability of the eleven
to win from Yale next Saturday has
been considerably shaken by the set-
back. but with most Of the men in
good shape, in spite Of the hard con-
test, 1t Is generally felt that q week
of stiff work will do much toward
placing Princeton on a level with the
Blue.

outlook ts the fact that Rutan, vet
eran tackle and star lineman OF this
year: is expected to be on hand after
an absence of several weeks. His re-
turn would allow Howard to be used

or power of attack was the keenest
disappointment to Tiger followers
and unless some kind Of offense,

Yale probably is capable of launch
ing a greater variety of plays against
Princeton than were launched by
Harvard. The Crimson did not un-
cover much. They may have had
more than they showed, because now
they will go into the last game of
the season against Yale with vastly
more confidence than they have had
The victory over Princeton will give
inspiration to a team that needed it.
Told They Must Win.
Prior to the Princeton game the
players acted as if they were bored.
Harvard men at Princeton said the
squad had been sent to Princeton
with instructions to win or not come
back. Probably that was an exag-
Seration of the campus rumor, but
the Harvard men fought with twice
the intensity that they had put up
in their other games during the year.
and it was their fighting energy that
kept the Tigers so far away from
the goal that Princeton never had
much of a chance TO make the score
as good as 4 tie.
Yale'S back field should show much
more against Princeton than the
Harvard back field showed and more
than Princeton's back field is likely
to show against Yale.
In the Harvard game Van Gerblg,
the Princeton punter and fullback,
was injured early by a blow ON the
head and it stupetied him so that
it is doubtful if he played his best
game after that. Mallory does not
