This Is a sort of girls night at

them do just that-push 'em over.
Those who put steam on the sphere
are few.
Ten Of these girl teams make up

He couldn't stand prosperity. His

But Miller's performance doesn't
compare in brilliancy or unusual
ness with the feat Of n. B. gill,

Pythias League, who, in practices
at the Recreation, made fifteen
consecutive marks, including only
one or two strikes. This is thought
to be a record. Gins string OF
marks resulted In scores OF 16S ana

1t All Depends.

THERE has been considerable
comment, mostly adverse, be-
cause West Point is using
more than a couple of former
college football stars on its 1924
eleven, and Captain McEwan,
head coach at the Point, is quoted
in the Yale Daily News as fol-
lows:
"The athletic officials have moth
ing to do with the appointments -
McEwan is quoted as saying, "and
if few football stars are enrolled
among the selections there is NO
reason why we shouldn't make
use of them. If we did not per.
nit these men to play we wouldn't
be able to offer any opposition
to Yale. West Point is q small
place and no favors are shown

paratively limited material to
work with. The authorities, how
ever, are seriously considering in.

West Point, and if this is done
it will at least stop some Of the
criticism"
The final sentence Of the inter-
view is meaty. Newspaper criti-
cism directed against the Army's
practice is having some effect,
whether just or not it matters
little.

At this stage of the season Har-
Yards lineup for the Princeton
contest usually is settled. The
coaches undoubtedly have made up
their minds regarding the combina-
ton which they will start against
the Tigers, but there has been a
wide-open race for every position
on the team this fall, and late
chances are very probable.
II one were to hazard a guess
on the Crimson players who VIII
trot out on the stadium turf for
Saturdays opening whistle, it
would be futile to name less than
fourteen or fifteen men. The line
up might include Chase, Robb or
Gamache as ends, Captain Green
ough and Coady as tackles, Daley
and bunker or Theopold as guards,
Adie the center, Stafford or Cheek
ct quarter, with Gehrke, Hammond
and Miller as backs. =
Icy ZaIakOv, Phil Spalding,
GanbOrsh and Nat Howe are q
few Of the Harvard reserves who
can be relied on to act in special
roles as the occasion demands.
Thus far the Crimson's line at
tack has been conducted on con-
servative lines but overhead there
has been a pleasing variation 20
the offensive, with Cheek, Stafford,
Hammond, Maher and Spalding all
proficient as paSsers. Something
new in offensive wrinkles Is antici.
pated Saturday, for there has been
Z tendency here this fall to get
away from the old delayed passes.
Perchance the very fact that these
plays have been used so seldom
this fall may make them effective
as Of yore when they are trotted
out, except that opponents have
dulled the efficacy Of the hidden
ball by employing a coming defense.
Harvard has unQueStioned power
this fall. Faulty generalship has
cropped out at times, and six FUN
bles in the last two games have
given the coaches some cause for
alarm. AS to this weeks general
ship Stafford's spirit of confidence,
which seems to put new life in the
team when he is at the helm,
should be quite beneficial against
the Tigers, provided his oppor-
tunity to perform Is not delayed
until a time when the leading
backs are tired.
It seems safe to predict that
Harvard will not fail to take adj
vantage of its first-class punting
next Saturday, for Hanmond's
speedy and lofty fiOiSts can be
used Extensively or defensiVely.
GIherlxe, too is q capable punter,
but the kicking burden probably
will be taken off his shoulders
because he must bear the brunt
Of. the defense while backing up
the line.
Even though Harvard is disin-
clined to display much more of it's
offense than it showed in the
earlier games. it would be natural
to expect the Crimson to apply
sufficient pressure to gain open
ings for scores always with the
proviso that Captain Greenough
and his mates think and. act quick
" as a normal Harvard team.
There have been occasions this fall
when Harvard has not displayed
an instructive nose for the ball.
Whether the Fishemen can let a
few opportunities slip and still
emerge VIGOROUSLY remains to be
seen.
The reason Harvard's admitted
physical advantage against Prince.
ton is because the Tigers are still
cropping in the dark for their long
lost order attack, which seldom
has been put on effectively by
Roper.
