The defeat has served only to place a great cloud on the whole university. The undergraduates left here last Friday not overconfident, but deter- mined that Callahan's men would come through victorious. There was disappointment over the Princaton game, but somehow it was expedted that the Bulldog would gather new strength during the week and, goaded to a greater fighting power by the'fact that Harvard was the opponent, wold come out victorious. Defeat not expected and it is difficult for the undergraduates to ro- alize. And yet beneath all the gloom and quietness there is the indefinable feeling of aptimism, or rather there is not total discouragement. Every year after the big games are over one of the Big Three tries to forget the past and starts anticipating the next season, and Yale, true to form, is looking far- ward to 1920. Many of the best men) including Braden, Galt, Reinhardt, Allen, Callahan, Neville and Dickens, are graduating, but around Kerpton, Aldrich, Lay, Acosta and Walker the Most noticeable of all is the lack of a great machine built for 1820, Most onticeable of all is the lack of criticism of Head Coach “Al" Sharpe. Already several news writers have begun to place blame on him. Wheth- er the undergraduates believe blame is due there or not one cannot tell. Not one word cf reproach or censure has been heard and it looks as if Yale is satisfied with him in spite of his fail- ure to produce a winning team. They cannot understand the defeat, but they are not criticizing Dr. Sharpe. 1t might be said in passing, however, that the wild runiors about there being dissension in the Yale campus, about the men losing respect for their head coach and refusing to obey his order: are absolutely groundless. Dr. Shaype was in supreme command up to the last. He har a cantract for a term.of years and will stay. This can be stated on the best of authority.

MIDDLEBURY WX BIG GAME. Xew Dritain Boys Arc Mcmbers of Victorious Eleven. Middlebury won the big football game of the season Saturday after- noon downing the University of Ver- mont, 20 to 14 after one of the hard- est fought battles these rivals have had in many years. In the makeup of the two eclevens are six boys from New Britain, who have added to the football fame they made while at the New Britain High school. They are, Clesson Parker, | the -quarterback, Ashley, a backfield player, Brackett and Peterson . line- men. In the Vermont team, *“Pigeon’ Connolly, a former High school cap- tain and Hlagearty were stars this sea- son, t 1t neglects that department, either on attack or defense, places itself un- der a heavy disadvantage. Dartmouth was another eleven that had great power in the old-time rush- ing game, but was poorly equipped in aerial tactics, and ‘Dartmouth came a cropper in its final game of the sea- son, though outrughing its opponent, just as Yale did while outrushing Har- vard. When it is possible for a single for- ward pass to nullify a long, hard march down the field by line-tearing tactics, as has happened more than once in important games of tho sea- son, it needs no keen observer to make the obvious deduction. The for- ‘a4 passing attack, rightly used, has i more games this fall than the traight lne-piunging game. ; Western Football Better? The_greatest surprise of Saturday’s resultS was furnished in the defeat of Syracuse at the hands of Indlana. In- | diana 5 record in the Western Con- ference had not been impressive; it was deéfeated both times it’started. On the other hand, it would be no easy matter to find an Eastern eleven with a record for the season more im- pressive than Syracuse’s previous to Saturday. True, it had lost to Wash- ington and Jefferson, but its conquest of such teams as the Army, Pitts- burgh, Brown, Ruigers, and Colgate had seemed to more than counteract the. effcct of that setback.. Indiana, according to all the reports that have come out of Bloomington, clearly out- played Syracuse. Yet Indiana was certainly not at the top of the heap among Western elevens. Did Syra- cuse, after playing‘one of the hardest schedules of any team in the Bast, enter into a slump, or has Western football risen; so high as the obvious comparison might indicate? Another interesting though certain- 1y not a conclusive comparison enters here in the fact that Syracuse beat : the police and another fight started. Krothingham, Faxon, Weatherhead the ‘basketball element” in modern AP A]N T | or claiming Harvard had the breaks. Finally the police fought their way and Macomber, ends. football, but, none the less, any team GRIFFIN ELEGTED G T 3 from the fleld, taking with them five | R me» who registered at the police sta- tio.. ag Pitt students. on charges of disorderly Popular Quarterback is Chosen to Lead New Britain High on Gridiron in 1920, Francis “Dixie” Griffin was chosen captain of .the 1920 High school foot- ball team following the game in New Haven Saturday. Griffin and Pepleau were the only players receiving votes for the position, but because of the fact that Grifiin is a veteran of three teams, whereas Pepleau has just com- pleted his first vear, the former was chosen almost unanimously. Griffin i1s a junior at the school and will graduate with the class of 1921, For the past two years he has been regular quarterback on the eleven and the year previous was substitute in that position. Though considerably , lighter than most gquarterbacks, “Dix- je’s”” ability to cover ground, toss passes and conduct the team In a heady way has made him a valuable man. He is perhaps the first man in a number of years to make the posi- tlon of substitute quarterback in his first vear at school. His playing this year was easily the best of his career. The only other sport in which Cap- tain-elect Griffin takes part in at the school is baseball. He will probably catch for next year's team should that sport be resumed. FIVE REDS TO GO. ] Cincinnati, Nov. 24.—President Aw-' gust Herrmann of the world cham- pion Cincinnati’ Nationals Saturday * announced that weivers had been asked for and accepted on five mem- bers of the Reds. He would not di- vulge any names, but'it is believed that Outfielders ; Sherry Magee and Sec, and Inflelder Schreiber are slat- ed to go. . Inflelder Jimmie Smith was claimed by the Giants. <
