et TIMERS WILL OPERATE LIKE NACHINE AGAINST RNALS) GES Old Nassau Does Not Need to Depend This Season Chiefly On Individual Efforts of a Few Stars—Members Are Mostly New Players. By William Abbott. 66 ©’: strength Is evenly distributed,” said Head Coach Bill Roper, when discussing the Princeton eleven. What's more important, the Tigers have a real team. Unlike last season, Old Nassau does not need to depend chiefly on the individual efforts of two or three notable stars. Best results in football are obtained eieven players co-operating as a machine. This is what Bill Roper has striven for this season. Princeton will operate as a unit against Harvard and Yale, no matter what may be the outcome of the two games. ‘The personnel of this year's Prince-@——————————————————— ton team is mostly that of new play- ers. Jack Cleaves, ‘Pink’? Baker and Mel Dickinson are the only real vet- erans, although Snively, forward Pessing expert, performcd regularly a@tend during the 1921 campaign Jack Cleaves comes nearest to boing Princeton's outstanding star, because of his ability running, kicking and passing. The veteran is about the best open field runner on the Orange and Black squad, although Crum, Newby and Euwer are not far behind. Cleaves was a consistent ground gainer in 1921 and is even better this season. He has starred in every #o far, especially in the en- ter with Colgate, when the vet- dodged through the entire Col- gate team and sprinted 70 yards for @ touchdown. CRUM AND CALDWELL NEW MEN ON BACKFIELD, The new men in the Tigers’ back- fleld are Crum and Caldwell. Crum, stockily buiit, runs with a peculiar twisting motion that makes him very dangerous when once free of the line scrimmage. Crum didn't earn a ular berth until the Chicago gume, When he scored two of Princeton's three touchdowns against the Maroon, In that memorable encounter Crum convinced the coaches of his fitness to ge in against Harvard and Yale. Caldwell, because of his strong de- fensive work, takes the place of Ralph Gilron, who was elected 1922 Captain only to be barred by the faculty. Caldwell, a rather tall and rugged youth, plays No. 1 in most of Prince- ton’s tandems. Ken Smith and Howdie Gray, ends, were substitutes last year, although Smith operated in the backfield. The newcomers in the Orange and Black line are Herbert Treat, Red Howard and Bruno Hills. The line combina- tion that undoubtedly will start against Hardvard will be Treat and Haker, tackles; Dickinson and Snive- ly. guards; Alford, centre. Howard and Hills, both husky forwards, will surely get in action before the final whistle, WELL EQUIPPED WITH CAPABLE RESERVES. Princeton {8 unusually equipped with capable reserves, which wasn't the case last year. Most of the sub- stitutes, like the first-string, are new comers, If necessary the Tigers could send three complete backflelds against Harvard and Yale, and the reserves could play any kind of foot- ball from Newby’s brilliant ‘open field running to powerful line smash- ing by Bob Beattie, a powerful Brooklyn lad. Bill Roper, aided by a competent coaching staff, has taken al! his new talent and moulded {t into a well bal- anced machine, which first showed its collective power in the Chicago game; a team that's now 26 per cent. stronger because of the experience gained in that hard-fought battle, when victory came fn one of the most dramatic finishes ever seen on any gridiron. PHILADELPHIA SOCCER TEAM BEATS NEW YORK Philadelphia carried off the honors In the intercity soccer match at New York Oval, yesterday afternoon, when the Fleisner Yarn Football Club de- feated the New York Football Club by & goals to 4. The visitors set the pace in the first half by shooting three goals succession, At half time they were 1. Gradually the New Yorkers wore down the lead and came up even. Once , More the Quakers forged ahead and again New York equalized, Five min- » utes from the end, Malley, outside right for Fleisher Yarn, made a spectacular run with Page at his heels, but Just as he keeled over from the impact, his foot shot out and the ball found lodg- in New York's goal. This decided game in thrilling fashion. On resumption, McGhee scored for ‘New York after one minute's play. Mo- and the mre Me- Loughlin of Fleisher Y: and Archie ‘Stark of New York scored in turn.

STRENGTH OF PRINCETON FOOTBALL ELEVEN EVENLY DISTRIBUTED THESE TIGER STARS WILL MAKE TROUBLE FOR HARVARD. POSED ESPECIALLY FOR EVENING WORLD PHOTOGRAPHER. ONIVEL™ —< 9 RUTGERS HOLDS LOUISIANA SAFE AT ALL STAGES Southerners Weak in Defense and Offense—Defeated by 25 to 0 Score. Another Southern unknown came North for a Uttle visit yesterday when Lousiana State acknowledged @ foot~ ball introduction to Rutgers at the Polo Grounds. The Southerners departed on the short end of a 25 to 0 score and still more or less unknown, About all that was revealed by the visitors dur- ing the afternoon was that they knew practically nothing about football, Foster Sanford sent in a team of sub- stitutes to start the game, the substi- tutes being necessary because of a de- vastating series of injuries received by the team earller in the Rutgers eli for two weeks now, but e' a hot’ Rutgers team found itself able to walk through and around the Louisiana team once it got fairly started. The Southerners had nothing much to speak of in the way of a defense and not even 6 whispering argument on the offense. It was evident early in the game that Loulstana could not gain through the Rutgers line, but it was there that the visiting team insisted upon directing ita attack throughout all four periods. Even in the final period, with Rutgers leading by three touch- downs and a point from touchdown, the Southerners refused to open up with either a shifty running game or stabs through the air. Sanford did send in some first string men for a few minutes to get the it Rutgers touchdown, but for the most part he depended on his substitutes. When tho first team did go in against Louisiana they gained their distance almost at will. Both teams shared the fault of fum- bling and Rutgers was frequently penal- {zed for holding in the line. Between ojthe halves Sanford spoke to the field officials about some of their penalty rulings, He spoke with considerable heat and very much to the point, and enlivened an otherwise dull afternoon with hts home-fried remaiks. Either the officials agreed with him in his argu- ment or the Rutgers team decided to ite tactice In the second half, penalties were fewer in that second stanza. Soe ble a a HARVARD VARSITY CURTAILS ITS WORKOUT CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. %—The fairly strenuous program which the Harvard coaches had planned for their varsity team yesterday had to be our- tailed considerably because of the wet condition of the Stadium Field.

Myers and Woerner Star for the Maroon Eleven— Score Is 14 to 6. By Burris Jenkins Jr. ORDHAM and New York Univer- F sity have but three days of rest and preparation before going {nto another gridiron battle. Yester- day both elevens met on Ohio Field in as hard-fought a struggle as either team has expertenced this year. Ford ham won, 14-6, Saturday the Maroon mee's Colby at Fordham Field and N. ¥. U. plays C. C. N.Y. at Ohio Field. When Fordham and New York Uni- versity agreed to renew athletic rela- tions with a football game on Election Day, the intention was to cement the friendship between them which had been officially strained for eighteen years. A sportamaniike friendliness was shown by both colleges before and after the contest. Each side cheered the other frequently. To the spectator, however, the way those twenty-two young men smeared each other over the mud of Ohio Field ve little evidence of the celebration of @ peace pact. The game was played in @ fog, into which the frequent punts sometimes almost disappeared The teams seemed evenly matched throughout the first quarter.

Toorock missed the drop-kick for goal. Fordham's first score was achieved by an intercepted forward pass in the second period on Fordham's #i-yard Une, Capt. Myers leaped into the air for the peu thrown by Toorock, He made @ flashing 66-yard run for the touch-down, His speed enabled him to reach the goal-line without being tackled.

There are practical as well as theo- retical reasons Why the scouts seek no Information beyond what can be obtained from observing opponents in open play. It is a firmly established popular belief that football games can be won by trick plays and intricate surprises. In the author's opinion, trick plays seldom accomplish what ts expected of them. Indeed, they often act as a boomerang against the side that em- ploys them. Almost never do trick plays justify the time and drill de- voted to them. rhe elements that Insure the victory are the inherent strength of a tes and the soundness of its fundamental policy. These factors must be in evi- dence {n all public exhibitions; and It {3 these, rather than the frills and froth, that the scouts seek to observe and evaluate, Many persons have raised the ques- tion why there should be any scouting at all. Enthusiastic followers of col- lege games are constantly sending in voluntary reports concerning the strength and tactics of some future opponent ‘The desk of every coach js littered with such reports, but the coach has no means of determining their accu racy, He dares not use the informa- tion himself or it on to his play ers The players themselves need some definite instruction about the individ ual peculiarities of the teams they are to face.
