SP ORTS. THIS FORM OF VANDALISM NOW IS CUSTOM IN EAST Pernicious Practice Not Only Involves Bad Taste, But Property Destructio n Engenders Il Feeling and May Cause Injuries. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK. November 9— The Big Three, which so often has set the fashion of reform in many ways, ought to convene and do something about the goal post wrecking exploits of victorious partisans after a foot ball game of importance has been played. It is a pernicious custom, and aside from the bad taste involved and the lurking ill-feeling engendered, it is a dangerous practice. Sonie one is go- ing to be badly hurt some afternoon. So far as the writer can trace the evil, it was inaugurated by TYale rooters in the 14 ame at Cambridge when the ki many lean years, dafeated Since then a general the Atlantle sea least on d.

It was a decided error in judgment and the more or less amiable riot that followkd might well have been converted into wis situation, had not the po- licemen kept their heads. yme understanding ought to be ef- fected that will end this sort of non- sense. It is a practice that taxes the tolerance of even hetter intercollegiate friends than Ilarvard and Princeton ave. This being so, it has no place among the aftermath of sporting con- tests.

In such case the probabilities are that they will not function. But it is not certain that the rugged Army linemen will crack the oppos- ing forwards.

We picture above the powerful guards-back attack of the middle '90s as it_smashed Into and over the line. The plunger of those days held the ball, leaned far back against the shoulder of the man pushing him and kept his legs step- ping high in order to avoid being tripped. His power came from the tandem behind him, the first of this palr pushing him up and forward, the second pushing the first straight ahead. Three other backs would follow and help push. Two to four yards were the gains sought.. Just five men played on the line of scrimmage. Either the guards or tackles formed the tan. dem in order to give it strength and weight. How much more spectacular the quick opening plunge of today. The back takes the ball on a direct pass from center and goes at top speed for a given point in the line. At this point the two forwards on each side of it double team their immediate opponents and swerve them from the opening, sometimes using the method to be shown®to. morrow. Often another back feints to the rear (as the diagram shows) as though to make a forward pass, as this feint frequently checks a defensive back just the split second of time necessary to let the runner get by him at breakneck sapeed. Skill and speed have supplanted welght and strength in foot ball and make it a much better game. (Copyright. 1926.)

BY WILLIAM H. gfllfl BILL") EDWARDS, Princeton Star. 3 AM quite sure that it is the am- bition of every foot ball player to end his days with his college teamin a blaze of glory. Certain- Iy T will admit that such was my am- bition. I realized it, and in doing so witnessed the play which still stands out as the most thrilling of my ca- reer. It was in 1899, my last year as a Princton Tiger, and the play came in the last game we played—the match with Yale. In both 1897 and 1898 Yale had managed to beat us, and in this year we had but one slogan all season, and it was, “On to New Haven.” We worked all season with the Yale game as the one big event which we must win. Cornell beat us and left us two weeks to prepare for this game. Biffy Lee, our head coach, and every man at Princeton had the same motto in mind from start to finish and when we journeyed to New Haven we were as nearly perfect as a team could be. Yale had a wonderful eleven that year with Brown, Hale and Olcott in center; Sharpe and McBride on the flanks, and Fincke at quarterback. it was a terrific battle—that game. From the first blow of the referee's ONLY FOUR DOGS REMAIN IN OPEN ALL-AGE STAKES Fourteenth annual trials of the Na- tional Capital Field Trials Club that have been in progress since vester- day morning near Centerville, Va., were neatring completion this after- noon, although it was not expected that the members’ e event, the last on the program, could be com- pleted todav. Marked Success has attended the tests so far, according to Maj. R. 8. Thomas, president of the club, many birds having been uncovered by the dogs, which include some of the most celebrated hunters in the East. Fine exhibitions have been given by many of the entrants. As _a result of yesterday's t the fleld of 22 thoroughbreds tered in the open all-age stakes, carrying a $300 purse, was narrowed to these four dogs: Appalachian Palmetto Rap and Junedale Chum- my, both owned by Dr. F. H. Lahey of Boston; Frank Kidwell's Fashion Lady, and Bird River Kennels' Bur- gess King Pin. ‘This quartet wi released this morning in the final competition to settle the stakes. later today dogs entered in the 'su.v::}fl f‘m ?A .ggmfcr'o co.. w. €. open derby, carrying a $150 purse, were to be set out, embracing 12 thoroughbreds.

This afternoon it was expected to stage the members’ all-age event for handsome silver trophies and a leg on the cup donated by Frank Bur- rows in honor of his setter dog, Mas- ter Ben B, that won the preceding cup donated by the club. Pairings for the event follow: Jones Rodney and Burgess King Pin, Maj. Ray and Nuggin Don, Fashion Lady and Bloodstone Caesar's Ghost, Carver's Lady and Capt.

Panatella - 10c Invincible 2 for 25¢ President 2 for 25c. Iperial 4 25 whistle to the last, both teams fought magnificently and for a long time it looked as if Yale would have the better of the argument. arly in the game we took the lead, when Bosey Reiter, on a series of end runs for the most part, scored a_touchdown. But just a little later McBride blocked a kick and scored against us, making the tally 6 to 5. Then Sharpe came along and kicked a beautiful fleld goal, putting Yale out in front to the tune of 10 to 6. All of this happened in the first half. In the second half both teams kept up the fight at a rate which made the game spectacular at all times. One by one our first team succumbed to injuries of one kind or another until only three regulars were left in the line-up, these being Poe, Peel and myself. But our substitutes fought with rare heroism and skill. As 8 result we held Yale without further scoring. Yet we could: not seem to get the ball down field our- selves. Finally with just's short time to play one of the Yale men fumbled the ball and Roper, now head coach at Princeton, fell on it. Here was our chance, though we had nearly 40 yards to go. We smashed at the Yale defense with tremendous power and in a few plays managed to get the ball to their 28-yard line. Here I was Informed that we had less than a minute to play. I knew we had to do something desperate if we hoped to win. Then Arthur Poe came over and offered to kick a fleld goal. Arthur had never kicked a goal and had never practiced such work, but he was such a remarkable player that 1 readily consented to the attempt. With only a few seconds left we lined up. 1 was terribly nervous and remembered grasping our center by his legs to stop any charge by Yale. Bannard was our center and he made a fine pass to Poe. The latter drop- ped the ball and booted it just as the Yale charge began to get through. It seemed to me that the ball remain- ed in the alr many minutes, but final- ly it passed between the goal posts and over the bar for a 11-t0-10 lead. Only 30 seconds remained of the game and Yale was unable to do any- thing in that time. So we returned to Princeton with glory for the Tiger, due to the wonderful manner in which the inexperienced kicker Arthur Poe responded to the last second call on his resources.
