BIG Three ELEVENS
SEEM TO BE ON PAR
BY WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK, November 6-There
seems to have been very strong re-
action to the ArmyYaie game among
many critics and friends of the Old
Eli team, who are now predicting that
unless the Blue braces very remark
ably she has not a chance in her two
big games. This seems to the writer
very far-fetched and hardly based upon
the facts as he sees them.
There is little doubt that there are
other teams superior to any of the So
called big three. In fact, this has been
demonstrated by the defeats of two
of them, while the fact that Yale has
come through undefeated is more or
less colored by the fact that in four
of her games her opponents gained
more consistently and looked to have
rather the better of the contest.
But the character of the attack
which Yale displayed in midseason
last year, after q rather mediocre
opening, was not the same she had
used for the major portion of these
games. She has opened up her line
in emergencies a few times. and the
writer looks to see her do this in her
two big games and to see consider
able improvement therefrom.
At this writing Harvard, of the
three, looks to have the call in gem
eral material, but the other two are
by no means to be counted out, nor
is there any certainty that in any
meetings between members of the
big three there will be any such pre-
ponderance of superiority as was in
dictated by Yale over Princeton last
year.

30 TINS week special interest at
tacheS to the Harvard Prince ton
game that is not found in any other
of the really fine prospective strug-
giles that are scheduled. Princeton,
according to press reports. is conf
dent of being the victor. Also many
OF the experts are picking the Tiger
TO take the measure of the Crimson.
But be the result of the contest what
1t may. the Tigers probably will not
win easily, ii they win at all. In
fact, if the slow yet steady improve

mouth game. Princeton. instead of be-
ing a favorite al the start should not
be considered anything more than an
even bet.
= Harvard has lost to Dartmouth but
Dartmouth has one of its strongest
teams. Princeton has a tie with Lee
high, which more than offsets any
apparent weakness shown in Harvard
by the Dartmouth defeat, Harva I'd
has defeated Virginia, Middlebury,
Holy Cross and Boston University
and lost to Dartmouth by one touch
down. Princeton has won from Am
heTst, Navy and Sworthmore, lost to
Notre Dame and tied Lehigh. Neither
record is especially impressive. but
both teams undoubtedly will be bet

NAVY STRIVING HARD
TO BOLSTER ATTACK

ANNAPOLIS, November 6.--With-
out the services of Shapley, the one
player who has given any promise
of developing into real threat
against strong opposition and with a
record Of four defeats in five games
played UP to this time, the Navy has
d poor prospect of success against
it's rivals Of the military Academy,
which it meets in Baltimore on the
29th of the month.
In spite of the seriousness of the
situation, the Navy has no idea of
conceding victory, but will gather its
shattered forces and endeavor TO
overcome the weaknesses which are
so apparent. 1t will make a bold ef-
fort to develop a scoring attack which
will be effective even against such a
strong team as the Army.
The defensive qualities of the team
do not appear to have been diminish I'd
by the players taken, away from it.
It's line met the straight attack of
Pennsylvania State on Saturday, pre-
vented touchdown and made as
good showing as the Navy line has
done this year
In the matter of defense against
forward passes. which has been a
weak point in the Nays play this
year, little could be judged Penn
State did not attempt many plays of
this sort, but the Navy's defense
against them seemed d little stronger
than it had been against similar plays
by it's other opponents.
To develop a strong attack with the
material now available, the Navy
must rely upon its line being able to
outplay West Point and open up
holes and in acquiring a clever and
varied passing game. In other words.
1T must have a passing game like that
used against Washington l.. last year
when the Navy established a record
by completing Ii forward passes
without a miss.

when he finds his oponent's ball lying
between his own ball and the cup

the hole.
He goes on the theory that the
chances of his being stymied are very
slight, and he does not do the pains
taking practice that is necessary to
conquer stymies. A man can't play

There are three ways to make a
