Harvard Men Divided in Regard to Princeton “Dirty Fool Ball” Controversy THAT LID MAY BE BLOWN HIGHER APPEARS LIKELY ‘Many Regret Hubbard’s Charges, Others Que: His Allegations, While Some Would Like to ‘ See Matter Fought to Finish. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. AMBRIDGE, Ma January 25.—The Princeton “dirty foot ball” case in this center of Harvard influence may be compared to a seething caul- ron, the lid of which has been but meu_\- blown off. Whether or not this covering will go high into the startled_air depends upon the subsi- dence of the augmentation of the un- derlying forces. Just now, it must be said, there are decided indications of high pressure. There are Harvard men, many of them, who deeply regret the publica- tlon of Wynant Hubbard's allegations .against foot ball methods at Old Nas- sau, who feel that even were they true, no good could come from wash ing soiled linen of that sort in public. There are others who question many of Hubbard's charges, and there are still other: 'k Hardwick for one, who would dearly love to see Harvard and Princeton go to the mat on the issue and settle it one way or the other, So far as the writer can learn, this last group is in the minority. At any rate, it does not include many, if any, of the older alumni. ’ Fisher Regrets Incident. _One of the men who might be sup- posed to possess “inside” and pecu- liarly exact information as to whether the Hubbard charges are well founded is Robert T. Fisher, who was head coach of the Crimson eleven from 1919 to 1925, inclusive When Fisher was seen at his office today he made it quite plain that he not only regretted the existing situa- tion, but that he was deeply moved by it. His position in many ways is £ most difficult one. “I feel" he said, “that my views were adequately expressed in my statement which I gave to the Har- ivard Crimson on Sunday, in which 1 said that the present situation was unfortunate both to Princeton and to Harvard; to Princeton because it chal- lenges her to defend herself when no defense is called for: to Harvard be- cause of the unsportsmanlike and un- dignified position in which she has been placed. “This, I think, is a clear statement, one that can readily be understood. Further than this I can say nothing v ion | = | at this time and may never utter an.| other public word on the subject.” Another Harvard man. who has | been closely identified with Harvard | | foot ball in recent years, told the ' writer that in his association with the game at Cambridge he had never felt | | personally that Princeton teams were characterized by a tendency to foul | play. and that he personally had hear coaches after Princeton games try to drive into the Crimson players the fact that they were getting harder knocks | than their opponents because the Tigers were moving faster in all phases of play. “Not a few charges that have been rinted.” said still another Harvard man, “could be refuted, but T have a feeling that it is far better not to add fuel to a situation which we may hope will die out if fuel is not applied. If [ recall rightly, in the past there was a feeling at Cambridge that in indi- vidual cases an oceasional Princeton player was too rigorous, and. in 13 I think it was, a conference between Harvard and Princeton men was held | in Cambridge and points at issue were pretty well ironed out. To the hest of my knowledge subsequent relations in foot ball had been satisfactory See Room for Charges. Other Harvard men to whom the | writer talked, however, made it clear that, justly or unjustly, there is a de-| cided opinion that Harvard teams in years since 1919 had not been dealt | with by their Princeton opponents in | a manner of sportsmanship. Stories | that have been in circulation for the past seven years were evidently mnot fabrications, but were the testimony of Harvard players. Many of these stories are included in Hubbard's cata- logue of charges. Wheéther or not the | players who have made these com plaints in the past were victims of in juries which they might have received in any gruelling foot ball contest, and which they attributed to design mere. ly because they occurred in a Prince: ton game, is another matter. The fact remains, that an under; current of grave charges has followcd practically every foot ball game be tween Princeton and Harvard. Hub- bard, in the main, has merely codified and published them in an article which is characterized by not a few inaccu- racies as to dates, players, character and severity of injuries and the like.

He expressed his views as part of a discussion brought on by a promoter who contended there was no reason why it should be necessary to have | oMicial doctors at the ringside. | Doctors are not needed permanently | at English ringsides, in the opinion of | the Sporting Club official, because box- ing here has become more scientific.

Watch Michigan this season! The rangy alert five of the Middle Western Conference that finished last vear's race like a whirlwind after a poor start. Here's a team that uses a high lob-pass offense that has tremendous scoring power. For instance, one of the pet plays of the Maize and Blue so far this year is to regain the ball near their opponent’s goal and then have one of the tall boys beat it up the court at top speed, the guard receiving the ball shoot- ing a pass to this forward (Figs. 1 and 2) so that he takes it high and on the dead run. It's a patent fact that the ball can be advanced much faster by a long pass such as this than In any other way. Chambers will take such a pass, break into a dribble (Fig. 3) and wind up with a one-hand push shot into the basket. The play is got- ten off beautifully, the pass being made so that the receiver takes it ~ithout the ‘least check in his speed. And it is played high |is quitting the courts.

Central, however, handily van quished the West End boys in their first meeting and despite the improve ment shown by the latter since that encounter followers of the Blue and White believe their team capable of again turning the trick.

It _should be a bang-up game. Business and Tech were to come to grips in the first tilt of the double bill, starting at 3:15 o'clock.
