and keep your feet stretched we'll

and then turn him on his shoulders.
Do not have your weight too far for

A recent Improvement on the in
side crotch and half nelson teach
es the use of the left leg instead of
the left arm after you have turned
the opponent over. 1t is more effec-
tive than the arm because there is
more strength in the leg and 1t also
leaves the arm free TO rest and be
ready for use in pinning down op-

orous, and there is no doubt that the
Americans have a heavier punch, says
an official of the National Sporting
Club.
He expressed his views as part of
a discussion brought on by promoter
who contended there was no reason
why II should be necessary to have
official doctors at the ringside.
Doctors are not needed permanently
at English ringsides, in the opinion of
the Sporting Club official, because box
ing here has become more scientific.
He said that there may have
beer cases in which doctors in pri.
vate capacity have offered advice to
a referee, but referees have full power
to stop fights or allow them to con-
tinue as they think fit.

~ AMBRIDGE, Mass. January
25.-The Princeton dirty
foot ball" case in this center
~ of Harvard influence may be
compared to a seething caul-
qron. the lid of which has been but
partially blown off. Whether or not
this covering will go high into the
startled air depends upon the subSi-
dence of the augmentation of the I'M
DERIVING forces. Just now, it must be
said. there are decided indications of
high pressure.
. There are Harvard men, many Of
them, who deeply regret the publica-
ton of Wynant Hubbard's allegations
. against foot ball methods at Old Mas
Sau, who feel that even were they
true, no good could come from wash
ing soiled linen of that sort in public
There are others who question many
of Hubbard's charges, and there are
still others, Tack Hardwick for one,
who would dearly love to see Harvard
and Princeton go to the mat on the
issue and settle it one way or the
other, So far as the writer can learn
this last group is in the minority. At
any rate, it does not include many. if
any, of the older alumni
Fisher Regrets Incident.
\. One of the men who might be sup
posed to possess inside and pecu-
iiarly exact information as to whether
the Hubbard charges are well founded
is Robert T. Fisher, who was head
coach of the Crimson eleven from 1919
to 1925, inclusive.
When Fisher was seen at his Office
today he made it quite plain that he
not only regretted the existing situa-
ton, but that he was deeply moved
by it. His position in many ways is
a most difficult one.
II feel" he said, that my views
were adequately expressed in my
lstatement which 1 gave to the Har-
ward Crimson on Sunday. in which
said that the present situation was
unfortunate both to Princeton and to
Harvard; to Princeton because it chal.
lenges her to defend herself when no
defense is called for; to Harvard be-
cause of the unsportsmanlike and un-
dignified position in which she has
been placed.
This, l think, is a clear statement,
one that can readily be understood

trenched behind his charges that
Princeton played dirty foot ball"
against Harvard in recent campaigns.
At the same time. however. new
support was given the chorus of re-
greet from Harvard sources by the an
nouncement at Cambridge that Presi-
dent a. Lawrence Lowell of the uni
versity in letter to President Hib-
ben of Princeton had "deplored" the
fact that Hubbard's article containing
the charges was to be published in
Liberty Magazine.
President Lowell wrote Hubbard De
cember 10, requesting that the article
be withdrawn. He had received in
formation that Hubbard was preparing
an article derogatory TO Princeton.
This Hubbard declined TO do. The same
month the Harvard head addressed
similar request to the Saturday Eve

at this time and may never utter an.
other public word on the subject"
Another Harvard man. who has
been closely identified with Harvard
foot ball in recent years, told the
writer that in his association with the
game AT Cambridge he had never felt
personally that Princeton teams were
characterized by A tendency to foul
play. and that he personally had heard
coaches after Princeton games try to
drive into the Crimson players the fact
that they were getting harder knocks
than their opponents because the
Tigers were moving faster in all
phases of play.
Not a few charges that have been
printed" said still another Harvard
man, could be refuted, but I have
feeling that 1t is Ear better not to add
fuel to a situation which we may hope
will die out if fuel is not applied. If
| recall rightly, in the past there was
a feeling at Cambridge that III indi-
Vidual cases an occasional Princeton
player was too rigorous. and. in 1928,
| think it was. a conference between
Harvard and Princeton men was held
in Cambridge and points at issue were
pretty well ironed out. To the hest of
my knowledge subsequent relations in
foot ball had been satisfactory
See Room for Charges.
Other Harvard men to whom the
writer talked, however, made it clear
that, justly or unjustly, there is de-
cided opinion that Harvard teams in
years since 1919 had not been dealt
with by their Princeton opponents in
manner of craftsmanship. Stories
that have been in circulation for the
past seven years were evidently not
fabrications, but were the testimony
of Harvard players. Many of these
stories are included in Hubbard's cata-
logue of charges. Whether or not the
players who have made these COM
plants in the past were victims of in
juries which they might have received
in any gruelling foot ball contest, and
which they attributed to design mere
ly because they occurred in Prince
ton game, is another matter.
The fact remains, that an under
current of grave charges has followed
practically every foot ball game be-
tween Princeton and Harvard. Hub
bard, in the main, has merely codified
and published them in an article which
is characterized by not a few inaccu-
racies as to dates, players, character
and severity of injuries and the like.

doubtless will go far toward

up to Central now in the titular race
