The pny of arsity material, Crimson players, them constituting showed all the pments which go to make up a ong football eleven. They were sourceful and were never at a los know what to do.

Last ar, 'in the Cornell game, Harvard's bvelopment had not reached its pres- t stage. Cornell, on the other hand, as keyed up especially for the Har- rd contest and got the jump on Profiting by last year's perlence, Harvard was prepared for ything which Cornell might present. lven' if Cornell had sent to Cam- idge a team as well prepared as st year’s Ithaca eleven was, it is bubtful i it would have had much a chance against Harvard. The pposition afforded by Cornell on urday was not strong enough. to end Harvard to a display of its ut- host power. It was evident that the rimson had much 'In reserve which did.not have to show. It was a igher type of football demonstrated P the Gambridge team, keener, more Tessive and smarter than any tacti- array which Dr. Al Sharpe’s am- Jitious eleven could offer. Hopes_of Cornell Crushed. In direct opposition to its status of yoar ago, Cornell was lacking in o of the fundamental principles of Jhe game. The men handled the ball boorly and their tackling was hap- azard and not effective. The lack f knowledge of this kind counted peavily against the Big Red team. Vith this surprisingly weak showing, ornell loses its chance for the cham- tonship honors attained last season. Lt the same time Harvard looms up 5 a stronger possibility than ewer i the games which are to come.

The game brought out another kncouraging point for Harvard. Hor- ween showed that he can fill the bill s a punter.

If there #s ‘any football ability lurking dor- mant in any member of the Harvard sqtiad Haughton and his ' staff of coaches seem to have a very happy faculty of bringing it out. After the showing against Cornell, Yale and Princeton will now jot down in their little books that in spite of the loss ofinumerous veterans of last season, this vear's Crimson aggregation is a sajart, wide-awake proposition’ which will bear close watching on the cold Saturday afternoons next month. Princeton’s Obvious Defects. Princeton found no reason to be jubilant over its defeat of Dartmouth. The Orange and Black did not show the power and strategy which one naturally looks for in such a veteran eleyen. It showed two serious weaknesses, fumbling and over-high tackling. On more than one occa- sion, the tackler missed his man en- tirly. affair, plays compactly together and has the necessary faculty of tighten- ing up within the 20-yard danger zone. The ends, Highly and Wilson, got down under Drigg’s kicks well and Dartmouth gained little in running back punts, The Tiger backfield seems a care- fully drilied smoothly working quar- tet, but in Saturday’s exhibition, somehow or other, no star loomed up. Every great football team must have at least one player who not only fits in with the play of the other players With perfect harmony, shut who also Bas something in réserve. A cham- plonship team needs one who is so great an individual performer, that, when the team is in woeful need of s& few yards he can go in and by supreme effort pull the eleven out of a hole.
