RANKS WITH THREE BEST SOUTHERN TEAMS -Rating to Be Settled by Clash With Georgia Tech This Week—May Make G. W. U. An= nual Thanksgiving Opponent. ; % BY H. C. BYRD. HILE the foot ball season is in its last phase, several of the big- W gest games of the year yet remain for local college elevens. Georgetown has three contests, and two are among its most most important, and, besides the Blue and Gray's meetings with Georgia Tech and Boston College on foreign fields, there are to take place on gridirons here the annual games between University of Maryland and Catholic University next Saturday and between George Washington and Catholic University Thanksgiving day. Georgetown, at present, though it has not met a single big southern .téam, is ranked as one of the four strongest elevens below the Mason- Dixon line, Centre College, Georgia Tech and University of Georgla be- ing the other three. Therefore, the game the Blue and Gray is to play at Atlanta this week with Georgla Tech is all important to it and pro- vides the only opportunity by which the local school can achieve a high ranking @among southern institutions. The game -with Boston College does not appear to be nearly so important aB it seemed two months ago, the former not having shown sufficlent strength to cause the Blue and Gray much worry. Catholic University has two more contests, which mark the pinnacle of its season. The Brooklanders this week face the University of Maryland at American League Park in the game they had rather win than all the oth- ers on their schedule, and the con- test, if it duplicates the one of last year, is pretty sure to be one of the Thost hair-raising of the local season. Following the Maryland game, C. U. Will begin to work up its men for the meeting with the Hatchetites, the Thanksgiving day affalr they won & argin. has three contests left. two _following the one with C. U. this week. Carnegie Tech will be played at Pittsburgh & week from Saturday and in Baltimore Thanksgiving day the College Park squad has another difficult affair with North Carolina State. Maryland has anything but an easy wind-up for its season, as al three contests are certain to be strug- gles of the hardest kind. t of the mass of material which hp(z“bgen written about the Prince- ton-Harvard game one is able to _evolve just a single main thought— Harvard is lucky that Princeton did not win by a_much greater margin. After all is told of the game, Prince- ton developed the more powerful and versatile and sustained attack and presented a more impregnable defense in the territory where an impregnable defense is an absolute requirement if touchdowns are to be prevented. The presence of Lourie and Garrity in the Princeton backfleld not only added to the effectiveness of th Princeton attack because of the fine playing qualities of these men, but becsuse their presence added to the effectiveness the other men. man of caliber not enly adds to a team's strength because he is likely at any time to break away for a long run, but because the defense pays less attention to others in erder to_cover Lourie. ‘Which brings us to the subject of the Princeton-Yale game this week. Some time ago the writer presented a statement Glenn Warner made to Bill Roper shortly after the Army-Navy game in New York last fall. That statement was to the effect that probably would lose to n if Yale were weaker, in any year that Princeton played Yale the week following a victory over . The opinion was given just after s discussion which had begun ‘with Warner remarking to Roper that he thought Princeton and Yale should ask Harvard to vary the schedule which now forces Yale and Princeton to play their big on_consecu- tive Saturdays an es Harvard a week lay-off. Roper sald he rather liked the present arrangement of hav- ing the Harvard and Yale games come on consecutive Saturdays. It was then that Warner remarked that the arrangement was all right as long as Harvard beat Princeton, but “if you ever beat Harvard I should not be surprised if Yale were to beat you the following Saturday even If it hap- pens to be weaker than you are. I find it almost impossible to keep a team pepped up for two big games on_consecutive Saturdays.” Whether this view will be found well based this week is only a mat- ‘Maryland s ter of conjecture, but Warner little!R: ) be | Hij thought that his theory would tested within a_ year. Undoubtedly ‘Warner's idea holds good for a team playing a “big” game and then a hard game the following Saturday. Prince- ton playing any team other than Yale this week undoubtedly would be confronted by the prospect of be- Ing somewhat stale and not having sufficient pep for a grueling contest against & worthy foe; but Princeton against Yale thls week is different from what Princeton would be against another eleven of Yale's caliber, Georgia at last won from Virginia by a decisive score. The Crackers have been trying for years to give the Charlottesville eleven a decisive beating, but the game of last week is about the first in which they have been entirely successful. The Georgia team mainly was successful because last year it determined not to use men in its games it could not play against Virginia. A one-year rule ement with Virginia usually has en out of the Georgia line-up_two or three of the best players. Year before last and last year Georgla was stronger than Virginia, but in ‘both seasons the games were tled. Geo! in neither year had against Vlrmlll anything like the strongest team it could put on the fleld, though the teams were the strongest that could be used under the eligibility agreement existing between the two institutions. Lafayette made good predictions concerning what it would do to the University of Pennsylvania. And the results of the games Lafayette is rl yh:;» e not causing a particular- y e tate of mind at Lehigh. The Leh! Lafayette game is only two ‘wee away, and 8o far Lehigh has not shown strength in the least com- mensurate with that of the Easton eleven. Georgetown and George Washing- ton and Catholic University won'their es without trouble last week, rgetown and Catholic University obtained decisions much more easily than most persons expected. Mary- land was beaten by Yale, but held Yale to a lower score than was an- ticipated. Anent Georgetown and George ‘Washington and Catholic University, 1t is understood that there is to be & realignment of the games now sched- uled between George Washington and ‘Georgetown and between George ‘Washington and Catholic University. Very definite report has it that George Washington intends to re- linquish its Thanksgiving day game with Catholic University and substi- tute therefor the game with George- town. The contest between the Hatchetites and Georgetown in for- mer years was the brilllant Thanks- day foot ball episode for Dis- nd it seems to be the desire of ja back-of athletics at q;gluw schools to resume, in so far as it is possible, the game in all its former aspects, of which no small 2 p;:'z is the playing of it on Thanks- Just : what this will socore.

In addition international matches with a picked American team, the Britishers will appear at West Point and private military schools. FOOT BALL EXEMPTED FROM TAX IN FRANCE Foot ball matches in France hence- forth will not come under the head- ing of entertainments, but within the category of “physical and military education,” French courts have ruled. | Hitherto gate receipts have been subjected to the entertalnment tax. A test case, however, has just been made by the manager of the Tou- louge club, who refused to turn in the usual 10 per cent to the state, and the court has decided that foot ball was immune. SOUTHERN A. C. UPSETS _ ~ MOHAWK JUNIORS, 7-2 _— OUTHERN A. C. sprang a surprise yesterday by defeating the Mohawk Juniors, 7 to 2, at 17th and D streets southeast, in a game marred by persistent fumbling.

SCHOOL ELEVENS PLAY TWO GAMES THIS WEEK All of the local high school will get into action this week, except Business, which does not play again until it meets Tech November 15 in & game that will wind up the annual champfonship series. A game that will be well worth while is listed for tomorrow, when Eastern and Tech face in the Centra stadium. While Eastern has won nnllyl one of its three games in the title serles, only nine points have been scored againm the Capital Hill lads, who have re ered ten themselves. Eastern lost {8 Central, 6- ness, 7-0, and howed to W rn, 3-0. Tech {s tha leading point scorer of the series, although it has won only one of its two games.

In addition to the games m abo' ‘Western beat Business, 7-8, and Central won from the Stenog- raphers, 6-0. ‘Tech will play the Maryland Fresh- men Saturday at Ame; League Park as a preliminary to the Univer- sity of Maryland-Catholic University “Gongazs High has tw ongaza High has two games, play- ing the Georgetown Freshmen fomor- rordw and the Georgetown Preps Sat- urday. year Alonso, Killed in Grid Game. ‘TOLEDO, Ohio, November 7.—Carle- ton Mannaback, seventeen, fullback on a local amateur foot 1 team, was killed almost instantly during a game here yesterday.

CONFERENCE GRID TITLE RACE NOW COMPLICATED HICAGO November 7~While Saturday’s Western Conference foot ball games reduced the number of championship contenders from four to three, the scramble for first honors has become more com- plicated than ever with three teams undefeated and their schedules so arranged that there is a strong possibility that they remain that way the rest of the season, leaving the race a triple tie. Ohlo State, Iowa and Wisconsin are at the top with three victories emoh. Iowa and Ohio State face easy teams the rest of the season; Wisconsin has the hardest schedule of the three, but will be the favorite in each of its remaining contests. The standing of the teams tonight follows, only con- ference contests being included: Washburn Coming Here; Will Quit Title Net Play NEW YORK, November 7.— ‘Watson M. Washburs, for u:"'; Team. W. L _ Team. Ohio Btate., 3" 0 Minnesof Wisconsin 0 Purdue Towa. 8 0 Indlana Chicago 2 1 Illinols Michigan 1 1 Northwestern. Ohio’s Victory Well Earned. Conference interest Saturday oen- ‘tered in the Ohlo State-Chicago game and those who had predioted super foot ball for this contest were not disappointed, for the two teams play- ed what {s admitted by all to have been the greatest battle staged on Stagg Fleld in many years. Ohlo State, outplayed completely for two and a half periods, rallied at the end and in a spectacular finish, about which there war absolutely nothing flukey, put over a touchdown for a 7 o 0 victory. It was Chicago's first defeat this year and the first time the goal line of the team which beat Princeton had been crossed. The game was the old etory of the eleven with the punch winning. Chi- cago gave its all right at the start but lost several opportunities for scores through lack of punch. Ohlo played on the defense for three quar- ters, then the Buckeye came out of its shell and routed the Maroons. The Ohio players tackled cleanly, blocked well, made great interference and worked the aerial play perfectly ‘There was no tendency on Chicago's part to deny the contentlon that the best team won in Saturday's game. ‘Wisconsin, idle Saturday, and Iowa, beating Minnesota 41 to 7, rank with Ohio State at the top at present. None of Leaders Plays Others. The only comparison between the three teams—neither of which plays the other—that can be found thus far is that Ohio State beat Minnesota 27 to 0, while Wisconsin and Jowa made virtually the same showing against Illinois, Wisconsin scoring twenty points and Iowa fourteen against the Illini. Ohlo State plays only Purdue and Illinois, and both games should be easy for the Buckeyes. Iowa meets BUCKNELL SPURS NAVY _ FOR PENN STATE GAME | FNDS NORFOLK EASY NNAPOLIS, November 7—The game at Philadelphia next Saturday |, against Pennsylvania State means much to the Naval Academy, and ! everything possible will be done this week to get the team into the | Robb, best possible shape for this great battle. The small score made against Bucknell on Saturday has served to spur the team and coaches to greater efforts, and it is regarded as rather a fortunate thing and a distinct warning against overconfidence. For once in its athletic history the Navy sees a chanoe for champlonship honors in foot ball, and it is realized that it will have its hardest test on Saturday. It appears to be generally conceded that the winner of next Sat- urday’s game will have - the best chanoce to receive the coveted position at the hands of the experts Yale still must be considered, but it is pointed out that a defeat by either Princeton or Harvard will end its chances, while Lafayette, Cornell and Centre hardly had schedules of suf- ficient value to form a basis for cham- plonship claims. Navy Wants Grid Title. The Naval Academy has been mak- ing gre.t strides in sports in recent years, and has won first place in more branches than any other college. It has never risen so high in foot ball, and realizes thoroughly that this game affords the real test in the judgment of the publia That is the reason that the Navy contingent is looking forward to next Saturday’s game with intense interest, a feeling equal in many ways to that which precedes the annual service contest The Army game comes two weeks later, and though- the decisive defeat administered. to it by Notre Dame would indicate considerable weakness there, the Navy team will not be mis- led. A sUff contest is expected from the Army, and the Navy would rather take a chance on & weak team against State than to lose some of its players for the Army contest. However, it is altogether likely that the Navy will not have to make this choice. The only serious question is as to the playing of Clyde King, right tackle, a veteran of four seasons and one of the Navy's most valuable play- ers. He hurt his leg in the Bethany game and has been nursing it since then. It is believed that he will start against State, but he will not be al- lowed to do so if the chance seems large that it will mean his absence from the Army game. ‘The team was weakened to some ex- tent on Saturday by the absence of King and Taylor, the latter the end on ‘the same side of the line. Taylor played among the backs for two sea- eons and has both unusual speed and great strength. It was an Inspir: tled evenly for the remainder of the game. Although outweighed, the Lexing-| ton A. C. team played the Arab A. C.l a scoreless game yesterday. Both elevens threatened, but lacked the scoring punch. “Stanton A. C. the Maryland A. C. of Surrattsvil Md., battled to no score yesterday. Stanton had the ball within striking distance of the gosl several times, but could not produce the punch needed to score. Kasawha Midgets did better yester- day than their senior team, defeating the Washington Midgets, 24 to 0. Kep- ler did some exceptional work for the winners. O. eleven made it five when it defeated the Yeyanokes, 42 to 7. Clever werk ts backfield gave the iMohawk Reserves & 14-to-7 v tory over the Senate pages yesterday. Langdon A. C. and the Trinity A. C. failed to score in their game yester- dsy. Both foosled opportunities. Central A. O. was victor over Ta- koma yesterday by 8 to 0. A. O. has reported that- 3 ickasaws to show up for & game at Reservoir fleld yesterday. Three other teams e boat and the’com- scr! were in-the sam bined ferces indulged in & tion which put it into the minds of the coaches to try him at end, for he has fitted right into the job. 6 Was able to play Saturday, but it'was de- cided to give him a rest, and he will undoubtedly start against State. Navy’s Alr Game Weak. There is some uneasiness over the faot that the forward passing of the Navy on Saturday was entirely un- successful. Not a play of this kind was put over. Usually there was no player around to receive the ball, but in several cases bad muffs were made. ‘This will be one of the things to which much time will be devoted during the week, as it is realized that it will never do to oppose such a team as Penn State without making practical use of this important arm of offense. The Navy team will be supported by about twelve hundred official rooters, the two upper classes 60f midshipmen, and will haive many Navy people and friends besldes. Older Navy people are no strangers to Franklin Field, where the game will be played, for it used to be the regular battleground for the Army and Navy teams. Midshipmen of the present will have to draw their inspiration from traditions of those contests. —_— CHEVY CHASE GOLFERS TIE IN SENIOR EVENT J. H. Brickenstein and J. H.

It was thought that an Ohlo State victory, especially as Princeton beat Harvard, would tend toward elimina ing any feeling that it was a “supe! western team which beat the member of the eastern big three. The big middle western schools out- side the conference were victorious in their intersectional clashes, Nebraska defeating Pittsburgh and Notre Dame finding the Army rather easy. Next Saturday Ohio State plays Purdue, Wisconsin tackles Michigan, Chicago meets Illinois and Iowa takes on Indiana. DISTRICT PRO ELEVEN Norfolks highly touted foot ball eam proved no matoh for the Wash- nglon Pros at American League Park esterday afternoon, and with Phil setting the pace in a rapid-fire attack, the locals won as they pleased, 61 to 0. Robb, who while at Penn State was one of the leading backfleld men of the ocountry, showsd that he still could perform the stunts that made a name fur him as a ocollege player. ! His all-round work repaid those who |took the tflf to the park. He was good in all lines, but his most bsil- llhm. bits were the Intercepting of forward passes and rushing to touch- downs. Once he ran 65 yards for a score and later he went across from midfield after grabbing the ball out of the air. His broken fleld running was by far the cleverest seen here this year. \ Johnny Eleir, local sandlot product, was the second big cog in the locals’ offense, which worked smoother than at any other time this season. Norfolk was helpless defensively and offensively, never making the slight- est threat to score. ‘While the Distriot team showed much' improvement, it will have to hustle this week to get ready for the strong Syracuse eleven, which will be here Sunday. CROSS-COUNTRY TEAMS ARE STRONG THIS YEAR Cross-country running is proving un- usualy popular this fall, according to reports from colleges and universities. In thelr long hill-and-dale grinds the harrlers are receiving unprecedented support, and there is promise of some excellent contests. Cornell's varsity s intact and there are promising additions to the squad. The team from Ithaca, which last year won the annual L A. A. A. A. cham- 1 plonship, is favored to repeat. This year's race comes on Monday, Novem- {ber 28, and will not confiict with foot ball. it will be run over the new six- -mile courss at Van Courtlandt Park, New York. Besides the two Brown brothers, Cor- nell has on its sq O er; Charles Irish, Dickinson and Strickler. Tom McDermott may join the harriers. K. E. Brown is the present holder of the intercollegiate two-mile champlon- ship, having covered the route in 9.82, and his brother Don {s improving. Penn State is the dark horse among the probable entrants. It has Allen Helfrich, the Buffalo half-miler; John L. Romie, winner of first place in the 1920 intercollegiate run, and Ira Shields, who was runner-up to Jole |Ray in American Olympio team try- outs. Columbia has Bob. Moore, All!nl that Gobert has met with during the | Haskell, Allen Taussig, R. K. Kno: X, Bert Harris, Viadmir Morosoff and James Bernson. Princeton, which trailed Cornell by one point in 1920, has a number of veteran candidates this year. Bill Rogers, who finished third last year; Allen Swede, holder of the national in- tercollegiate two-mile record, and Don Foresman, winner of the three-mile event in the Oxford-Cambridge vs. Cornell-Princton games, are the stars.

SPORTS. t Have Punch OVERHEAD GAME CHIEF RELIANCE OF PRINCETON Both Nassau and Harvard Learn Lessons Sat« urday Which Should Prove of Value in Games Against Yale. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. OTH Princeton and Harvard, looking forward to their culminating B _ contests against Yale, learned lessons which undoubtedly will be of value as a result of play in the first of the great classic struggles of the eastern gridiron season at Princeton last Saturday. And by the same token Yale scouts and players who watched the contest received valuable hints and at the same time saw much.that must have given them cause for serious thought. As for the game itself, in its swift variation of fortune, in its' sparkling plays, in the grim indomitable bearing of the players, in its heartrending breaks, its agonizing errors—in all, in fine, that serves to make foot ball thrilling, brave, spectacular and colorful this 2 [son thus far.

S in other seasons, the training camps of the major league teams and Texas. Some clubs which have gone to Texas in years past will not go back. Texas is through as e territory has been too much over- played and sometimes the fans have not been treated well. Cincinnati went too far into Texas in 1921, and in 1922 has decided upon Mineral Wells, which is not a bad place to bring up ball players in the spring. It is not a large cit: y, has a good ground and plenty of good water, with and without mineral ingredients. Cleveland 1s going back to Dallas, near Speaker’s home, and headquar- ters of all of his friends. If it has any criticism to be found it is too large a place for a base ball camp. The boys can go to too many movies and such. The Giants are sure to go to San Antonio to help out the flood suf- ferers. The San Antonio base ball park escaped the high water that rampaged through the city. The iants are not exactly superstitious, but having won & championship after training in San Antonlo they will not object to repeating. The president of the San Antonio club has been in New York praying consideration. Dodgers Will Go to Miami. The Brooklyn club will go to Miaml. Everything is booked for the palm tre and the southern sun and a of luck. Brooklyn says there is everything in New Orleans that is fine so far as grounds and climate are concerned, but too much to dis- tract gerious young ball players. Pecan candy and whizacs are bad training food. The Boston Nationals have dis- carded Galveston—too close to salt water. Boston isn't very far from salt water {tself, but Boston salt in spring has its drawback. The Bos- tons aren’t quite sure where they wil g0. Possibly not to Texas. The Philadelphla Americans have given up Lake Charles, La. The dia- mond needs Improvement and the Athletics can’t get any luck out of the state. They may move over to Florida. They would like to move out of last place. The Boston Americans and the Pittsburghs have not signified that they will say good-bye to Hot Springs. Just the opposite. They will go back unless something happens. They have a lease on the park and like the “The Ght National ing to The Ch ationals are going California as they have been going in ?.h‘cgu'.

The Cubs have a | Perfectly good island, all their own, and will try to develop into a per- fectly good ball club. Naturally they need time for the latter. The Chicago Americans may go back to Texas, where they were last year, and the Detroits have been talking about San- Antonlo. They played on one side of the town and the Giants on the other. The Detroit side {s not the luck side. It ‘was the side that got the water. Washington will return to Tampa, Fla. The Phillies and two St. Louis +| clubs have made no arrangements re- garding their training plans. ‘The New York Americans, with Ruth as an attraction, if he is still going in 1922, haye thought of a great many places to which to go, They will not return to Shreveport even though they won the champlonship after going thers. Too much oil around Shreveport and too much excitement with too little room. ‘There has been some talk about the Yankees going to Galveston and working north with Ruth as an at- traction. Having Ruth, they would do much better than any other team, with the possible exception of the Giants, who might pick up something because they are world ochamplons. Clese Datly 6 .

Pal Moore, the clever bantam who used to give Memphis as his hailing port, but now is proudly owned by Chicago, writes a letter in which he says that today begins his period of light training for his November 28 battle against Pete Herman. The bout, which will be held under the auspices of Dominick Tortorich, is slated to go fifteen rounds, the boys to weigh in at 119 pounds at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the fight. Moore writes that his main object is a fight with Johnny Buff for the eshampionship. Herman is a stepping stone. He aiready has won two pop- jular_decisions over Herman and says he fully expects this time to get a referee's opinion in his favor. Having |eliminated the former titleholder Pal will set sail for the champion. Tom Andrews, the Milwaukes pro- | moter, aims to be the man to bring Buff and Moore together in event of Herman's defeat by Moore. He says he will offer the present titleholder an $8,000 guarantee. There was a time when a sum like that looked good to a champion. But in these Rickardian days it s no longer so. Harry Greb now is looking in Bill Brennan's direction and there is lit- tle doubt that Tex Rickard will an- | hounce the clinching of the match !between the big fellow and the little | glant-killer. Greb got a decision over Brennan out in Tulsa and at Pitts- burgh later the two fought a draw. Brennan says he is anxious to knock Harry for a goal, and since Greb i eager, there seems nothing in the way of the match. 5 (Copyright, 1921.) GRANT SEEKS NEW SITE" TO TRAIN THE BRAVES BOSTON, November 7.—George W.

Tatloring Satisfies- The Taste and f minor injurles with|struggle in the Palmer stadium marked one of the high lights of the sea- Princeton lacked Harvard’s ver- satility in running plays, but she had enough of an attack to pave the way for an overhead game with a scoring stinger attached. A fair analogy would be to say that Harvard suggested the skilled boxer with a variety of blows, and Prinoeton the fighter, assortment of punches com- paratively limited, but a knockout wallop in either hand. Tigers Galn Via Air Route. Only a collision with a goal post served to prevent Princeton from making a touchdown as a result-of a skillfully conceived and finely ex- ecuted forward pass in the opening stages-of the game; another forward pass narrowly escaped resulting In a touchdown and put Princeton on Harvard’s 5-yard line, while a third brought the long-awaited score. Stiil another goodly gain was folled by the catcher dropping the ball. The Digers thus, should receive credit for their mastery of a form of attack which, starting from a simple and in- genuous formation, speedily developed elusiveness. Usually no attempt was made to conceal the forward pass ‘motive. As for Princeton's running plays from kick formation, Nassau ehould realize—as Harvard has—that modern defense is placing the effectiveness of this form of advance on the shelf. The defense no longer walits to sce whether a threat man is going_to kick, throw or run. The writer had thought ‘that Princeton had taken a leaf from Chicago’s book in the mat- tar of line attack. If so, she didn't show it Saturday. Delayed plays and shifting back-field formations, the line co-operating, would have given such a fine back as cleaves many op- portunitles. As it was, Lourle and Garritoy had the abllity to gain, even though they carried the ball, without the aid of other than that attempt at deception with which Harvard ‘was most famillar, having defended against it for two years. Princeton's generalship was open to question, once when she tried a fleld goal on an early down instead of a forward pass and when she packed four plays into the center the time &he had first down on Harvard’'s §6-yard line. This last was suicidal. Princeton Defense Is Good. On defense Princeton ylelded but once in such a manner as to emable Harvard's fine line attack to take the Crimson into dangerous territory. Her skill in diagnosing Harvard's wide forward passes in the second half, sending he backs out, while the middle ground was well guarded, was of high order. In the line Princeton’s center was pretty nearly impregnable. Witmer, on defense, was superb. Keck was great on defense and on attagk as an interferer. Princeton’s ends were up to snuff and Snively performed splendidly the duty of throwing forward passes. Baker did more gen- eral tackling than he has received credit for doing. Gilroy was great on_the secondary. ‘The beauty of Harvard's attack was its range; its one drawback was th: lack of a scoring punch. The occa- sion upon which it took the Crimson to Princeton’s 5-yard line, & misera- ble pass, ended the crisis. Harvard's passing and fumbling, which, by th- way, have characterized the team's play all season, did a lot to militat against the Crimson’s scheme of ut- tack. No machine accomplishes mu« whe{n a part breaks at a crucial mo- ment. Buell Harvard's Matnspring. - As for the scheme of offense, Ha-- vard offered a lot of worth-while material. Buell, at quarter, was the mainspring of the drives and did his thimble-rigging very well indeed. He worked from various formations be- hind a shifting line. There was the time-honored Harvard squaré, thq kick formation,.as well as backfleld assignments new to Harvard. The forward passes were thrown from at least three different formations, the one going wide proving quite ef- fective until it was diagnosed. All in all, Harvard brought to the game an attack much more varied and inter- esting than Princeton's, but not so productive. On defense Harvard's ends wers less eflicient than Princeton's, but Harvard’s ends wers held back, the tackles crashing in, whereas Prince- ton sent her ends and tackles in and got better results. Harvard's tack- ling too often was head high. All in all, the team suggested an engine which has yet to be trued in all its interlocking details. It will be a bet- ter team against Yale. So will Princeton. (Copyright, 1021.) Win Bannockburn Golf Title. J. R.
