wide open and crushed the Tiger. "a
to 6. Last year. a supposedly inferior
Harvard team held Yale to a 14-13
count in furious game-and with
this years game more than two weeks
away and with Brown and Princeton
moving into the bowl ahead of the
Harvard array, Ducky Pond and his
assistants already are worrying about
their date with the Crimson.
Harvard used only five plays against
Princeton, Fritz Crisler said-adding
that four out of every five were
spinners on which Vernon Struck went
to town. Princeton knew all about
this play and the Tigers were drilled
to stop it. Between halves, Fritz said
to his players:
Don't you remember that play? I
diagramed it for you and told you all
about it."
Yes" the boys said, "but you didn't
tell us when they were going to use it"
The Pro Attack.
WHAT don't understand about
professional football" writes
A. r. j., "is how the teams score on
each other as often as they do. 1t
seems to me that the teams should
know as much about each other as the
professional baseball teams do and
should be so familiar with each others
strategy that they would have a
checkmate ready for any play the
enemy might launch"
1t is a reasonable thought. Part Of
the answer is that the professionals,
opening up the game to attract the
customers, have laid their greatest
stress on the attack-and that they
don't know as much about each other
as the baseball players do because the
season isn't long enough and they
don't play each other often enough.
And I suspect that sometimes they are
as bewildered as the Princeton players
we're in the face of the Harvard at
tack: They knew what to expect-but
not when to expect it.
Among the seasons most startling
performances is that being given by
Lafayette, unbeaten, united and un-
scored team. This is delayed
triumph for Lafayette, which looked
for a winner last year but didn't get
it. Under Coach Mylin, the Leopards
are climbing back to peak they held
when Jock Sutherland was in CON-
mand at Easton. They still have to
get by Rutgers and their traditional
rival, Lehigh. But they are on the
loose now-and it isn't going to be
easy to stop them

Southwest Strife Tixhtest.


THE coaches say that football has
become screwy game. What they
really mean is that the teams in any
group are so evenly matched in man.
power and skill and coaching that
picking winners has become sheerest
guesswork in a field where a single
tumble or missed block or intercepted
pass can turn victory for the stronger
team into stark defeat.
There still are upsets in football.
But it is easy to explain most of them
after they have happened. And to
come to the conclusion that, If the
same teams were to play the following
Saturday. there would be an excellent
chance Of the game resulting the same
way.
Probably the most evenly matched
group in the country is the Southwest
Conference. Baylor, with victories over
Arkansas. Texas A. and M. and Texas
Christian. leads the conference at this
writing. But ahead Of Baylor lie
within the conference-Texas, South
ern Methodist and Rice and danger

n YEW YORK, Nov. "A real

the East dominated the grid

later the South, still later the South
west. Now they all have settled down
to the same level. There are too many
good players, too many good coaches
scattered over the land to give any
sector an edge. A good team from
one part of the country would stand
up against the good teams in any other
part. But you don't hear any more
about supermen on the Coast or giants

that would be recognized generally as

an elimination were possible, the foot
