eligible for play this Fall with the
varsity because of scholastic trou-
bIes. In fact, some Yale men say,
those IN close touch with things at
New Haven do not feel any too op-
tlmlstic about the prospects, giving
as their reasons the heavy losses
from the 1923 varsity and the defec-
tions from the freshman squad.
Whether or not there is real cause
for alarm at New Haven or whether
the tfnge of uneasiness is due to a
fear of being unable to live up to the
great record of last year is some
thing that time alone will answer.
But it is a fact that any school that
has a record such as the 1923 record
of Yale to maintain naturally will
feel just a little bit chary about keep
ing up the gait.
And something about that Harvard
freshman eleven. One of the Yale
coaches told the writer just d while
back that willis Haryard's freshman
team did not do so well as a team,
several of the members Of the Har-
ward yearling squad were just about
as capable as will be found in any
varsity squad during the coming
year. 1t seems, according to this
Yale coach, that Harvard laid a good
deal of stress on the development of
its freshman material from the stand
point Of individuals rather than as a
team. Which. incidentally, is not bad
judgment by any means.
Georgetown's foot ball team will
show an etirely different style Of
play this year from anything it has
carried on the gr.diron the last dec
ade. Lou Little. new head coach,
evidently has faith in the old Penn
sylvan4a system and IL is that which
will hold sway on the Hilltop. The
style of foot bail Georgetown is to
play will not be the Penn system
under Young, except in so far as
it pertains to line defense, or the
play of the Heiseman machine Of the
three years prior to that but more
the type of play that Folwell uses
at the Naval Academy and which he
used in foundational sense at Penn
sylvania several years ago. Folwell
ball, the Pennsylvania foot bali in
which Folteli himself was schooled.
is well worth while and capable of
winning. 1t won wheI. Folwell was
student there, it-won with Folwen
as coach.
1t is a fact that Pennsylvania al
ways has depended on simple, ma
chinelike. driving foot bail for its
offense, but it has been in the play
of its line. particularly its ends, that
Pennsylvania has taken great pride.
In fact, Pennsylvania feels that it's
end-piay is just about as near per
fection as end-play can be. The men
who are to assist Little in foot ball
this Fall are Pennsylvania graduates,
both Nray and Miller having been
exceptionally good performers, Mil

to meet nm Unforeseen difficulty, to
grapple with Il situation for which
neither training nor instinct has pre-.
pared. Here is II good example:
A traveller of the name OF Tenant
was once riding horseback along n
road In India, on both sides of which
grew n dense jungle. Suddenly his
horse SHE'D violently, and Mr.. Tenant
saw coming toward him "A huge ele-
plant unattended and balancing on his
tusks a heavy timber that he was evil

shipyards. The timber filled the road
from side to side, and Mr.. Tenant
could not possibly pass.
Suddenly the elephant, seeing horse
and rider, stopped and turned side
wise. Then he backed n short dis.
lance into the jungle and, leaving
room for horse and rider TO pass.
snorted ou his directions that they
should 60 on. But u horse is terribly
afraid of an elephant, and Mr.. Ten
ants horse continued to e a and
plunge: the man himself, interested to
see what would happen next, did not
froce him to pass
Deeper and deeper into the jungle
the elephant backed; still the horse
reared and plunged. At last the ele-
plant laid the piece OF timber down
and. pushing hard against the under
growth. disappeared. Then Mr.. Ten
ant rode past.
A short distance down the road he
refined in and looked back. The ele-
plant came u of the jungle. picked
up the timber with his tusks. balanced
II with his trunk and, turning it round
in the road, went on his way with
loud snOrts of Indignation and dis
gust.
