EW YORK, November 12—Yale, Harvard and Princeton have been seen in action on the foot ball field in games that tested their best. Of the three Yale has shown more resourcefulness, a better variety of formation and a more thorough attack. It seems safe enough to say in advance of the next big game, that between Princeton and Yale at New Haven next Saturday, that the Tiger will not have any plays of greater potency against the Blue than it had against Harvard. Yet so uncertain is the handling of foot ball that one play which Princeton may use may be a scoring play and the decisive play, if the defense of the Tiger is such that Yale can be kept away from the goal line of its rival Yale probably is capable of launch- BY LAWRENCE PERRY. g00d’ shape, in spite of the hard con- | test, it Is generally foit that a week | -4 5 EW YORK, November 12—In this modern game of foot ball mor lessons to be drawn from any given game are more likely than not to be confuted by other games played the same day.

TAw According to a dispatch from La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, the Wild Bull of the Pampas has a rival. Here it is: “BUENOS AIRES, November 10 (By A. P)—Luis Angel Firpo, the ‘Wild Buil of the Pampas’ has been invited to fight a Bolivian Indian giant, who in make-up is declared to resemble the description given by the natura’ists of the ‘ape man.’ “With a height of 7 feet 2 inches and an arm spread of 8 feet, together with a formidable punch and great agility, the giant is said to be a perfect specimen of the natural fighting man.” Some man this Bolivian Betel- guese! If Firpo ever fights him, which he probably will not, they will need a ring of reinforced concrete bound round with ropes of steel wire to hold them. Camacho is the largest athlete in competition today, but in the olden days the prize ring pro- duced even a larger man in Charles Freeman, the American giant and the first American to | hold the world’s heavyweight | championship. Freeman was 7 feet 3 inches tall and tipped the beam at an even 333 pounds. He was only twenty-four years old when he died England, after his victory over the “Tip- ton Slasher,” in 1845. Freeman was originally a circus performer, but was per- suaded to enter the ring on ac- count of his tremendous size and strength. He looked so formi- dable that nobody cared to fight him, although it is hardly pos- sible that he knew much about boxing. He was recognized as world’s champion after his vic- tory over the Sasher. But Freeman in tumn is only a dwarf beside some of the mon- strosities of the wrestling game. You probably have heard of the Japanese wrestlers—a dis- tinct breed of big men who grow to enormous size, particularly about the middle. Quite a num- ber of them have tipped the beam above 400 pounds and one of them, Yoshida Oikase, was al- most seven feet tall and weighed 500 pounds. But Oiliase was not so large as Kikarsingh of Indi; Kikar- singh was the largest active ath- lete of whom I have ever heard Maryland’s Feat Against Yale Is Accorded Due Recognition Maryland's feat in holding the Yale eleven to a 16-14 score in the bowl at New Haven Saturday has been accorded due recognition and has elicited widespread appreciation.

MARYLAND PRAISED BY YALE OFFICIALS NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 12. —TYale foot ball officlals and players | are singing the praises of the Univer- | of Maryland team, which Satur- held the Elis to a 16 to 14 score and twice threa ed to win.

HARVARD'S CRIPPLES WILL RETURN SOON CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November 12. —Happy in their victory at Princeton, most of Harvard's players returned from New York yesterday, but they are stiff and sore after their partici- pation in one of the hardest fought battles in recent years. But in two weeks' time Coach Fisher expects to have every man in condition for Yale. It was reported that Jenkins’ thigh has been broken and tnat Mc- Glone had broken his knee. Jenkins hurt the knee which has been more or less bothersome this fall and fs not likely to play for ten daya Me- Glone is able to walk with a cane and will be able to play against Brown if Fisher wishes to use him. Coburn _and Cordingly were badly battered, but were not seriously hurt, and, in & few days the Cambridge coaches believe they will be ready to start full speed ahead for the Yale game. Jim Coombs, who secured the ball just before Pfaffman’s fleld goal, is the Cambridge hero now, just as big a one as J. Coolidge, the ‘end who_ran the length of the flield against Yale nine years ago. Jack Hammond was saved Satur- day. This, with the Yale game ahead, mmkes Harvard about as happy as the victory itself. Whether Fisher will use a sub team against Brown on Saturday has not been decided. Dunker needs more work at guard and if Howe is right he also will need work in a game. Bend eleven to one touchdown, and n turn scored enough points to defes the Indiana eleven. What is the answer? Is it that | defense carefully worked out by & entific coaches can make the offens:: scheme of any team look weak? A o fense, that i3 to say, specifically bas. upon the attack expected of the rivs eleven? It may be. All of which leads up to some r+ marks upon the system of couting « it relates to the success or failure « the attack. It is certain that agen of Dawson of Nebraska had watchr Notre Dame with scrupulous atte tiveness their games throughou the season just as we know that a of Harvard’s games this season ha. been carefully followed by & group of foot-ball-wise. Princeton observ and vice versa. Result, So far u- Nassau and Cambridge were concern- ed, a practical offensive stalemat: {and for Notre Dame a beating. 1t may be assumed that Yale knew little of the extraordinary attack tha Curly Byrd, a most gifted coaeh, had given to his Maryland team, wherea-< Maryland secemed to have a pretty definite line upon what the Elis had to offer. Maryland should have won this game on its merits, and if ever there was a moral victory this was one. Still another point: No matte what scouting is done, no matter how carefully a system of defense may b laid, there is no way of checkmati | the three-ply backficld genius. Ge, cannot be downed on the foot ball fisld any more effectively than other human activities. Coming down to the personal element, Harvard had no Mahan. no Casey, on the field Sat- urday. and Princeton had no Trim {or cleaves. In other words, there was no great athletic soul qualified to riss clear above the impact of two ma- chines mechanically excellent. Greves in Limelight. Grange of Illinois—he it was who in his inimitable flaming style, icd the way to victory over Wisconsin And Johnny Groves of Maryland was the genius of the attack that so eon founded Yale. Pfann of Cornell per- formed wonders against Columbia on Saturday, as he has been dol against all opponents throughout the~ season. Would any one deny the as- sertion that Michigan has made great capital out of Kipke? Notre Dame's system is not to exal: any one man, but to make of everv man a threat, but there are times when a Dorais, a Castner, & Gipp, are needed to supplement even the most perfect exemplar of team play— which same is Notre Dame.
