HARD G AMES ESSENTIAL The Thrill That Comes Once in a Lifetime. ““TO DEVELOP GRID TEAMS = Any one who studies the records and-“knows the conditions realizes what Roper and the Princeton eleven went through in the season of 1919 vhen, up to and including the West ia. game, the Tigers were liter- y . pounded, could hardly get their ads up for breath, and yet, with the .“Ptinceton spirit, fought and kept an fighting. - . On the night that West Virginia walked off the Princeton gridiron, Baving beaten that Tiger team 25 to 0, the tide of fortune turned for Prince- ton and has been running to the full for them ever since. It was well de~ served, for they went through the nec- essary suffering to learn the lesson. Foot Ball at Cornell. j The pot is seething out at Ithaca on dhe matter of foot ball. Cornell has had many coaches and a variety of vaching systems which perhaps may b. had something to do with the situaflon prevailing at Ithaca. Some | yeaps ago G. Ervin Kent, then grad- uate manager of athletics, discour- iged with the efforts to bring order | out of chaos with graduate coaching, asked the writer to name a_man who could change the affairs. He advised him to get Al Sharpe, who was then coach at Penn Charter. Kent secured gharpe and in the second year had sults. Sharpe was aided by Dan Reed and Ray Van Orman, Cornell graduates, and, in addition to defeating Penn, se- cured the record of defeating Harvard at'a time when Harvard was a first- ¢lass team. Last year Cornell took Gilmour Do-, bié, the longtime successful coach in the Pacific northwest. and the man who turned the tables for the Navy against the Army two years ago. Dobie has, I believe, a continuing con- tract, but there is evidently a feeling of deésire among some of the grad~ uates to install changes in the system and build up a different organization. Just how. the matter will eventually come out is a puzzle, but if all of -Cornell, including graduates and un- dgrgraduates, get together, whether under the present coaching system or .‘any other, there will be a different prospect at Ithaca. | EPIPHANY COMETS i~ TO PLAY SILENTS Epiphany Comets and Capital Silents t are expected to provide a warm battle |- for basket ball fans jn Epiphany gym- : masium tonight.

EW YORK, February 15.—Foot ball schedules are now practically N completed. One great fact stands out in the 1921 list, and that is 5 that the fashion of booking as many easy games as possible has gong out and that all important teams now recognize the value of hard contests. It is now recognized that the foot ball instinct or spirit may best be developed through real, hard, strenuous contests, with beatings taken, if necessary. It was that kind of a schedule and experience which turned the table of Princeton’s foot ball fortunes. OLD FOES IN TWO FRAYS Tech and Central Faculty Tossers to Play Before Title Series Teams Battle Today. Followers of scholastic basket ball are being well entertained at the Coliseum this ~ afternoon. Teams representing Tech and Central, between whom exists the keenest rivalry in local high school circles, are battling for honors in two games and one—that between the fac- ulty quints—is expected to be a des- perate encounter. It precedes the school title series game between the Tepre- sentative fives and was scheduled to be- Bin_at 3:15 o'clock. Eastern and Georgetown Preps are playing in Ryan gymnasium is the only other scolastic game scheduled. The Central-Tech faculty _engage- ment is the result of a challenge issued by members of Tech's teaching staft following a heated discussion with the Central mentors, in which the latter boasted of their ability at the court sport. In " the championship series match Tech will strive to halve the league leadership with Western. Should Cen- tral vanquish the Manual Trainers it will about put the latter out of the race. Western now is in front. Business High and Gonzaga, wWho are to oppose tomorrow, won yesterday. The former went to Baltimore and downed Mount St. Joseph's, 33 to 20. Ferber and Peterson starred. Gonzaga invaded Ryan Gymnisium and conquered the Georgetown Preps, 35 to 25. St. John's Preps nosed out the Virginia Midgets in a 26-to-24 game. V.P. |. BASKETERS HERE Fast Traveling Team Plays George Washington Tonight—Georgia Tech to Oppose Catholic U. Southern college combinations will be guests of local varsity basket ball quints tonight, and from what the visiting teams have shown one of them should leave Washington with the better end of the score. Virginia Polytechnic Institute has made a re- markable record since it left Blacks. burg on a seven-day trip, and George ‘Washington will have to do more than it has done to head the speedy Techs when ‘they meet in the Coli- seum. In the engagement at Brook- 1and, Catholic University probably will outpoint Georgia Tech. The George ‘Washington-iVrginia Polytechnic In- l('l:l}:u‘ma will begin a 1 w for 8:30. Virginia Tech opened its trip with a win over Church Hill Athletic Club in Richmond last Tuesday night, de- feated the collegians in Baltimore Wednesday and ‘est Virginia Uni- yersity at Morgantown Thursday. Penn State was met and vanquish State College Saturday night. A team that can do that certainly must have something out of the ordinary. The Virginians were forced to qu!
