OT A TEA PARTY”; COACH TO PLAYER3 jughton in Talk With Eleven Tells Th>m Yale Game Crimson ‘Wili Bc a Hard One, mbridge, Mass., Nov. 16.—Har- d started it last week of football rday afternoon by working on its plays and going through a long ensive drill against the Yale shift ack as put on by the strategist, 8gie Brown. Befcre taking the N out into the Stadium field, how- T, Percy Haughton had a heart to art talk with the boys in the Locker Hlding and warned them that there puld be no “tea party” in the Yale me Saturday. There also was a & session at the blackboard, and fien the players took the field they e ready for hard work. Haughton not put his men through any Jrimmage this week, although the -called “soft” drill really will not child’s play. The team is in good indition after its eight days’ rest nce the Princeton game. Taylor, pwever, injured¢ his side in the own game, anl was not in the line- p vesterday afternoon, his place be- taken by Cowen. The regular an, however, will be in the place hen the time comes. While :the team’s makeup for the ale game will be the same as jainst Princeton, there is .some bubt about the arrangement of the 8h line on the defensive.

This prob- lem has puzzled the scientists of nine hemispheres and seven continents— | and there is still no part or parcel of | a correct reply. Having put it thus broadly, you know by now exactly what we mean. Exactly. Well, then, why in the Hellespont can’t Princeton beat Yale at football? Problem for Scientists. In the last few seasons Princeton has frequently been beating stronger elevens than Yale has been losing to ali through October. ent campaign. Princeton beat Syra- cuse, one of the strongest elevens in the country. Syracuse beat Colgate, 28 to 0, and Colgate smothered Yale, 14 to 0. But when Princeton met Princeton couldn’t play enough foot- ball to beat, as George Ade once put it, an orphan asylum with cramp col On Saturday Yale had no chance to beat Princeton. The only show for a Yale victory was for Princeton to beat herself, which Princeton promptly did with amazing abandon. It wasn't so much a Yale revival as it was a Princeton cave-in. Yale, | 4421300 | 234—1160 | great | Rutgers, for example, that lost to Nassau -early in the season, would almost surely have beaten either Yale or Princeton Saturday by two touch- dcwns. And so would Syracuse, & team that also fell by the Tiger high- | way some weeks before. Proof of This. We may be wrong in this surmise, bLut we believe the dope will unti- mately prove that we are right. Princeton and Harvard looked to be two evenly matched elevens—as well matched as any two teams could be. Princeton lost to Yale. Yet we will be more than considerably surpriced if Harvard doesn't beat Yale by more than fifteen points. This in spite of Yale's fine line and her returned con- fidence after emerging from Dismal Swamp. No Answer Yet. But all this is no answer to Prince- "ton’s annual cave-in before Yale. There was a day when Princeton played her best football against the Blue. But of late years Yale, with any old football make-up, has been able to beat Princeton back or hold her to a draw. Princeton eaglier in the season beat at least two fihe teams when she up- set Rutgers and Syracuse, and sh(‘: gave another exceptional football dis- play when she crushed Dartmouth, 31 to 7. No weak machine is turning out any such results. Princeton against Harvard played football of high grade. And then—blooie, zow and Good- night. Psychology Stuff. It may be that this psychology stuff !in sport has been overplayed. And yet it is only in the realms of psycho- | legy that any fit reply can be un- earthed. For the last six seasons Princeton ! has come to the Yale game with all the psychology against her. She has had to face an eleven where there was !little to gain and a lot to lose; where victory brought but minor credit and where defeat bordered upon football disgrace. And upon each of these occasions she met a desperate Yale eleven, sore, sullen and at last aroused. And against these unexpected Yale re- coveries, Princeton, encountering far stronger opposition than she looked for, has usually cracked. Mental Attitude. Princeton, to beat Yale, must shift her mental attitude for this occasion. In place of going to battle wondering what Yale surprise may again be in order, Princeton must figure in ad- vance upon an uphill, against-odds fight and wage war as desperately as Yale does. Constant early season defeat has put Yale's mental attitude for her Prince- logy will kindly step forward and be | | | { | Grantfand Rice | ton game exactly right. And by next season we believe that Rush will have Princeton’s revised for Yale, Rush | being a keen student of football affairs. Football Luck. | Football, under the present system, is far more interesting as a spectacle than it ever was before.

And yet Syracuse on Satur- day would probably have beaten Princeton 15 to 18 to 0, as Princeton | l rplayed against Yale. The Wherefore. Yost has explained these sudden shifts and upsets better than any one we know. “Under this new game,” he said, “where there is so much hand- 1ing of the ball, no one can tell what will happen. Under the old game, if my first team could beat the scrub by four touchdowns on Tuesday, it could ,also beat the scrub by three or four touchdowns on Thursday. But under the new game I have sent the same first eleven against the same scrub eleven two or three days in succes- sfon. On Tuesday the first team would win by six or seven touchdowns. On Wednesday, without a change in line-up, the first team would be un- able to score. Where everything troke exactly right on Tuesday, every- thing would break wrong on Wednes- day—and the difference wouldn’t be three points or seven points, but probably thirty points or forty points.” This means an_end to the old days of consistency. Take even that Har- vard eleven of last year, which beat | Princeton 20 to 0 and Yale 36 to 0.

Media, Pa., Nov. 16—Home Run Baker yesterday put a crimp in the talk of a trade which will send him to New York next year by declaring that he will not play with New York. This he told Manager Frank Miller of the Upland club of the Delaware County league, with which he played last season, and John P. Crozer, mil- lionaire backer of the club, while on a visit to Manager Miller: Baker asserted that there is just one big league team with which he will play if he goes back into organized ball, and he sald which team this was. He asked that the name of this club be not mentioned, however, and neith- er Miller nor Crozer wil tell which it was. It is understood to be Chicago. ! There a possibility that Baker again will be with Upland next year, Miller asserts, as the heavy hitter was well satisfied with the money paid him by Crozer. Just how much he has been paid has never been made pub- lic, but Baker has made enough so that since the season ended he has purchased another farm at Trappe, | Md., and a seven-passenger automo- A warm friendship has grown up be- | tween Baker and Crozer, and if it is possible to keep him with the Upland ain | emanated | New Britain at New Haven; MAY PLAY MERIDEN AGAIN NEXT YEAR H.

CORBETT’S CHAMP LO! Levinsky Hammers Contender For Heavyweight Honors Around the Riug New York, Nov. 16.—Though out- weighted by thirty-four pounds, gad his opponent towered head and shoul- ders above him, Battling Levinsky had an easy time outpointing Tom Cowler, the Australlan heavyweight, in their ten-round bout af the Olym- pic A, C. last night. = Levinsky scaled at 179 pounds, while Jim Corbett's protege weighed 213, There were no knockdowns, 4 Levinsky made it an interesting bout all the way. For three rounds Cow- ler put up a fast argument, and fin the third session he took the lead and sent his man to the ropes with a right to the jaw. That was the turning point of the scrap, for in the fourth Levinsky rallled and was never again headed. Cowler fought himself out in the third and until the ninth he was second best by a big margin. In the last two rounds he tried to or- ganize a rally, but Levinsky was too fast for him and beat him off. In the semi-final of ten rounds Marty Cross, brother of Leach, had all the better of FFrankie Wagner.
