But unless we are greatly mistaken it is a team that will find itself in the heat of battle with Harvard. There is not a scrappier aggregation than the Tigers. They know a lot of football and they pos- sess the best tackle to tackle aggre- gation in the East. That line will probably more than discount - any superiority Harvard may develop PORT i He sang a song in the trench that night, ‘With the weary huddled around; And their eyes were bright as the stars of France Or the flame of the battle ground; But he sang no song of a soldier’s fame By land or the white-lashed foam, For the song he sang in the trench that night ‘Was the song of a girl back home. He sang a song in the shell-swept trench, And the eyes of the weary glowed With the old, old light of another day, Before Hate held the road; And their hearts at last knew greater thrill Than a mad charge through the gloam, For the song he sang in the reeking trench Was the song of a girl back home. a And each red bomb, as it flared above In a crimson glow on high, Was a. summer moon from the old- time ways Set deep in a peaceful sky; And each big gun, with its endless roar, ‘Was a plough loam, And all because he sang that night The song of a girl back home. for the fragrant Five years ago Sammy White upsct‘ the Haughton system by bagging a | loose ball and leaving with the same | a moment later. In the last four, vears there have been no loose balls set adrift by the Harvard attack, and so the Tigers have discovered but little sustenance along the way. If it | was not for Speedy Rush we would | have very little faith in Princeton’s chance to finish first. But even Rush, minus a fast, hard running back, is up against it with Haughton deploying a Casey and a Bond. “Among your five great ends of all time,” writes Nassau II, ‘“‘can’t you find room for Donnelly, Cochran, Henry or Palmer, f Princeton? Surely one of these belongs.” As great as each of these Tigers un- doubtedly was—who would you drop from Hinkey, Shevlin, Kilpatrick, Campbell and Snow? Another Complexity.

There were five field goals kicked in that battle Bnd four were booted by a Princeton jnan, the great Aleck Moffatt, who could kick them with either foot. Harvard was first to score through a eld goai by Cowling from the 55-yard ne. Moffatt got going in the sec- pnd half and drop kicked goals from '45, 43, 38 and 35 yards. His last goal was kicked with the left, as he was dlocked on the other side. Last year JFibbott kicked two fleld goals. Rest for Yale Varsity Men. New Haven, Nov. 10—Five of the Wale varsity football team were given g day off yesterday, and it is believed that the team to go against Brown will be made.up of a few regulars pnd several substitutes. Galt, Gates, Moseley, Hutchinson and Baldridge were not at the field. Some of the pen aré not in the best of condition, and the chances are that at least five warsity men will play very little if at &ll against Brown. The scrubs made two touchdowns mgainst the varsity, Waite making both. Quarterback Smith injected ' some life into the varsity and later B touchdown was made by Legore, " who circled right end for a twenty- fve yard run and a touchdown. Char- ley Taft was at the fleld yesterday for the first time since the Colgate game, but did not play- He will not Dbe In the game Saturday. Pudge Heffelfinger, - who had been here as a coach from-the first of the week, went to Mignesota yesterday because of the death-of his mother. Betting Odds Even. Ithaca, N. ¥., Nov. 10.—With bet- ting odds even, the Michigan and Cornell football teams will enter their annual game on Saturday with neither team a favorite. The first wagers were made yesterday with the first arrival of Michigan students. The Michigan team arrived in this city today and In the afternoon held a isignal, arill on-Schoelkopf fleld- The Cornell eleven had its last prac- backfield can be complete without Ted Coy the debate becomes more spirited.

This is one plece of dope that any one who knows football enters as a cinch” All of which least have the ingredients of a fairly passionate debate, “Where do you get the Pittsburgh University championship stuff?”’ writes a Yale fan. “Pittsburgh barely beat the Navy, 20 to 19; and little Washington and Lee beat the same team 10 to 0. Pittsburgh beat Penn., but so did little Swarthmore. A pretty good eleven? Granted. But the best in the country? Forget it.” And so it goes, letter by letter, epistle by epistle. BOWLING RESULTS Tigers Outstrlp Rangers—J. Wright Displays Fine Form—Usual Treat- ment Beating Pastimes By So. Ends. The Tigers continue to win games in the City league in easy fashion, the latest victim of the ‘“speed boys” be- ing the Rangers who succumbed to a three time defeat last evening at the Aetna, alleys. Johnny Wright was the scintillating star of the evening, bowling three games over the century mark totaling 354 for his night's work, Brother Tommy ran second with an even 300 score. Whatever credit is due the losers goes to Clancy and Haugh whose work was fair. The Pastimes met their usual treatment last evening when the South Ends took the cellar champions into camp thrice.

The P. L. should make one more attempt to crase his last start when, as leader of the hoodooed Yanks, he was up against an unplayable stymie. No | cne in those days could have hoisted | the depressed Yanks out of the second diviston. As Cub leader again, under a new regime, Chance may revive the old New York-Chicago feud, which for eight years was one of baseball’'s greatest features. Lest you forget, we say it again— Bill Edwards’ “Football Days” is a | combined history of the game and a story of adventure that no man who ever played or followed football should miss. ‘While many earnest Eli supporters | are debating whether or not Yale can beat Princeton and Harvard, it might be just as well to remember that RBrown is still standing in the road. And any out who deems the Brown eleven a soft and succulent cinch ghould query Rutgers for an expert enswer. “Welsh refuses $18,000 to fight 20 rounds.”” But Freddie will deem it a pleasure to dance 10, or even 20, rounds for this small sum.

Strange to say it is not a se- ries of kicks, as its appellation would kick in which several players assist in the holding of the ball while an- other supplies the propelling power. It is a development of the old try for a field goal from placement, which the quarterback after receiving the ball from the center dropped to one knee and held the spheroid while the convert the drive into a field goal. Under the new method, two players stretch themselves at full length up- on the ground, heads opposite each other and at right angles to the di- filve yards back of the scrimmage line. Directly behind them stands the quarterback, while behind him is lo- cated the player who is to make the kick. is received by the quarter who stoops and places it in an upright po- sition upon the ground while the players, already prone, reach out and ®old it steady with one or both hands. Having accomplished his part in thae play, the quarter jumps quickly to one side and the actual kicker steps or rung forward and drives the ball into the opponents territory for a fleld goal or a punt, The particular advantage of the “Multiple Kick” over the ordinarily attempted punt, or drop-kick, lies in the fact the ball Is held securely until the full momentum of the drive has "been communicated to the inflated pig- skin. Owing to the spheroid shape of the intercollegiate football it is hard to drive it forward straight and true unless it is kicked at just the cor- rect point. With two men holding it on opposite sides there is little chance for the ball to twist as it is kicked and the Rutgers players have frequently driven the ball for sixty and seventy vards from this formation. The play, however, requires perfect co-opera- tion by all four players involved and must be timed exactly since the de- fense given the kicker is naturally weakened owing to the number of players handling the ball.
