What's that Miss McCorkingdale,
We have a letter from a gentleman
who SCOTS at the Princeton jugger-
maui? Why, that's blasphemy. Yes,
I agree with you there should be
closed season on the word "jugger
naut" in football, but let's get to
the letter
Sir: The closing defeats sus
tanned by Dartmouth and Navy add
little to PrincetOn'S record. l adj
nit it is a fine team and easily
the class of the Ivy League, but
as for wider claims the Tigers rec
ord is hardly better than N. Y. U.
before it met Fordham. The fact
is the Tigers schedule grows less
and less impressive in retrospect. On
the basis of the records l can see
little reason for rating Princeton
higher in the East than Pittsburgh
or Fordham, which played vastly
tougher schedules and were beaten
only by Western teams. AS for COM
pairing the Tigers with Minnesota
or Southern Methodist-well, that
sort of loyalty is pardonable enough
in undergraduates but unbecomeS
supposedly mature minds Signed,
H. T. c.
DLEASE, Miss McCorkingdale,
Il edit your language. The guys
cockeyed" I'm ashamed of you.
The gentleman may be a Yale man
and he may be right. You say he
couldn't be both? Now, that isn't
nice, either. But what the gentle
man clearly overlooks is the possible
fact that Princeton softened up both
Navy and Dartmouth, thus contrib
uting to their subsequent misery.
find it difficult, too, to accept Prince
ton as one Of the wonder teams of
all time off its 1885 opposition
but don't see how anybody can get
away from the fact that the team
did all that was asked of it, and did
it in the grand manner.
A ND now what have we, Miss
4 N McCorkingdale? A letter from
a gentleman who objects to the
journalistic viewpoint that the
Army-Navy game develops great
generals and admiralS. And he tells
little story. too, does he. Well,
let's have it ,...
"One day Gar Davidson was in
structing his quarter backs in kick
ing against the wind. He had given
them the situation where they had
been kicking on second down, and
after several exchanges found their
opponents were outpunting them on
each exchange. Davidson asked a
certain quarter back what he would
do in situation like that. Expect
ing him to say he would wait until
the third or fourth down to kick. In
stead he said Sir. I would go back
to Buckler and say, Jack, please
try and kick d little harder" Now
if this young man becomes a gen.
eral, there's trouble Oh the Eastern
front, and if I'm there, I'm not going
10 feel very safe if the action gets
hot and CX-quarter packs sole
bit of strategy is: Please, boys, see
if you can fight a little harder"
Take note to the gentleman,
Miss interchangeable Dear Mr.
G. G.. don't worry. You aren't 60
ing to meet any generals on the
Eastern front. They all die in bed"
