strong Princeton aggregation on the
last two Saturdays of the season. In
the same way. Princeton memories
will laep to recall the 1919 or 1925
teams rather than those of 1896 and
1903 simply because they came back
after midSeaSon cataStrophieS and
finished stronger than they began.
1t is not snobbery or exclusiveness
which makes Lafayette and Lehigh so
closely identified as rivals that one
inevitably thinks of them as coupled.
Lehigh men will tell you their season
is a success If Lafayette is defeated
and a failure If she is not. Nor Is it
anything except an ineradicable' bond
of friendly enmity which links Will
liams and Amherst. Vanderbilt and
Sewanee, Missouri and Kansas. Michi-
gan and Minnesota, Cornell and
PENNSYLVANIA and Andover and Tx
eter.
Case of w. and l.. and v. NJ. /.
There are amusing converse con-
formations. In Lexington, Va, the
campus of Washington and Lee is
bounded on one side by Virginia Mil
.itary Institute: and by and large they
each produce a foot ball team able to
play the other a very close game. but
they are not natural rivals in this
queer sense Of which I am speaking.
They actually cannot play even
practice game without the probability
of it's becoming too bitter to be good
fun; and after proving this by expert
ment they have very wisely agreed
not to play.
These natural bonds of private ri
valry are, properly considered. the
finest thing imaginable. They are
never founded on enmity in the sense
of hate. Institutions between which
there is anything like bitterness or
misrtust are incapable of forming one
of these attachments and only those
which respect and really admire each
other can preserve the rivalry un-
changed through the years.

NV Is Years on the Cridiron

BY WILLIAM 4. ROPER.
HEAD COACH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

look back on my first year as head
coach at Princeton, in the Fall OF 1906,
with mingled feelings of pleasure and
disappointment. 1t was wonderful
wear, except for the final game,
against Yale, which ended in tie
score, nothing to nothing.
Up to that game we had the finest
record of any team in the East. We
defeated the Army and Navy; Cornell,
coached by Glenn Warner, and
swamped Dartmouth, AZ to 0. The
Princeton team was at top form
AGAINST Dartmouth. l never will
forget the game. Everything seemed
to work. When we tried a forward
pass there always was a Princeton
end in the proper position to gobble
IT'D the ball. 1t did not matter what
play the quarterback called-they all
seemed to work.
That season we had splendid ma
terial-I think the best ever coached.
Thanks TO our Summer meeting at
the Princeton Preparatory School, our
plans were all laid before the opening
Of the season. All the plays were Sc
lected and we did not have to waste
any time experimenting. So we got
away to a very good start. 1t makes
a big difference If foot ball cam
paign is worked out ahead of time
Harlan First Triple Threaten.
There was real feeling of uncer-
tainty in every game we played owing
to the change in rules. We did not
know what our opponents would
spring. Most of the teams we met
played along very conservative lines
and seemed content to stick to the
running game. / think we developed
at Princeton that year the first triple
threat man, Ned Harlan. He could
run, kick and pass. Harlan caught
. onto the running kick remarkably
well. BY the middle of the season 1t
was our strongest play.
The result of the Yale game was a
tremendous disappointment. I ex.
pected to see our team win handily
and a tie game was in some sense
worse than a defeat. Up to our game
Yale had a very mediocre season. But
they outdid themselves that day.
That game taught me. to my sor.
row. the error of feeling pleased over
early season scores and, just as it is
hard for the coach, so it is hard for
the players. The team I have learned
to fear Is the one which has just been
beaten rather than the one which has
run wild against a supposedly strong
opponent. And when / now send an
eleven of my own into a hard game
after one of those romps I am gener,
ally nervous and prepared for trouble.
On the other hand, when a team of
mine has run into unexpected defeat

PETERSEN AMUSES
KING PIN CUE FANS

Assisting Managers Bill Wood and
John Evans to open formally Meyer
Davis new King Pin billiard estab-
lishment, in upper Fourteenth street,
last night, Charles Peterson, st. Louis
cue wizard, entertained in amazing
manner a throng of admirers of the
green cloth game.
Peterson, generally acclaimed the
greatest of trick shot artists, offered
a program that included remarkable
draw and follow shots. brilliant
masses and freak cushion plays in ad-
dition to fancy strokes that jumped
the cue ball into hat and over a
bridge to complete points. And with
it all, the cue marvel delivered an
amusing but enlightening lecture.
Prior to his exhibition, Peterson
engaged in three-cushion match
with John Dodge. a Washington anna
teur. Petersen won, 25 to 81, but
Dodge gave a pleasing exhibition,
three times negotiating runs of 4.

The Hook Pass.

Many big college teams use the
hook pass a lot. When a forward is
blocked in a corner, or when a ball
is passed to the opposite side of the
court by man closely guarded. the
hook pass is very desirable.
The pass is executed by spreading
the hand on the ball and bringing it
up and over the head in an arch.
