All the Army's heavy work is at an end. The cadets were given a two-hour workout on the Plair.s this afternoon, twenty minutes of which waa devoted to light scrimmaging. There was no scoring. The 'varsity men lined up with HaotN ar.d Rhrader, ends; Jonea and Hutler, tackles; Meacham and Knight, guards; Captain McEwan, centre. Behind the line Gerhardt worked at quartar, Oli- phant Hnd Place were the halfbacks, and Vidal was nt fullback. Ford und Bringham got into the drill behind the line when Place and Vidal lefl the rield. Harmon ran through the signal drill in one of the backfield po¬ sitions. It is hardly decided whom the rad.'ts will flash as thi ir backfield men. Ihe sklfting about to-day would mdi- e*Ue that Daly has not. made up his mind about this feature of the team's makc-up.

Order your advance copies now. For to-morrow brings on tho psyrhology of the case, which ir. ¦ Vale-I'rinceton or a Ynle-IIarvard game i* generally the leading esaenee. xeaterdajr'i discussion was built aronnd tha defeaea. To-day We resume with tlie altack. Starting with tha qoartoihacka and the matter of Beld xincralship, which after all is tha most important feature Bf the present gama, Harvard certainly isn't (?oing to get the woist of it. If Tra\ers Smith is ready to play, a Smith-Ea Roche combination will com¬ pare favorably er OOgh with a Robin- son-.Murray team. Smith has looked to be one of the seasor.'s leading quarters, and I.a Roche against Princeton ran hi« team with sound judgment most of the wny. Hut good q'jnr*erhack generalship ha« become a tradition at Harvard, where from one season U> another corn-ct gen¬ eralship hus heen handed nlong. This hasn't been true of Yale. Tad Jones has undoubtedly started a resumption of thf proper tyttatt, but if lt came to a tijht pinch we woald look for better generalship from the Harvard side, hah-.t being as powerful as it is. Yale will undoubtedly ihOW a big 'mprove- ment in this ic-pect over past years; but Harvard is pretty sure not to make any costly break, since Haughton is r.ot only a rnrs strategist, but he has the knack of unparting this strategy to his ipiai terbacks in such a wav that it seems to stick, In figuring Eddie Casey against Harry 1 Coro, Casey has just one advantage. He is a surer ground gaincr, a better man arith the ball despitc Le Gore's >pecd and strength. But in other respects Lfl Gore is thfl more valuable man. *He is much better defensively, especially in breaking up anv forward passing game. And his kicking ability makes him of greater use as a threat from the kick formation. If properly used, Le Gore should be far more effective on Saturday than h. was against I'rinceton a few days ago. He isn't quite as elusive as Casey, but for all around value has the call. In the same way Horween carries more value than Braden. The Harvard back isn't quite as good a dron kicker, but he hit. a line harder, is a bit surer for a steady game and his punting abil¬ ity leaves him with a decided margin. So far as actual speed, power and punch are concerned, there is no grent difference in the backfield?. Ynle haa ahout afl good material here as Har¬ vard has. But Harvard is likely tfl bara thfl ad¬ vantage with a more deceptivi* attack. Sfl far Yale hr.s shown no great tiecep tion. Jones has wisely rofltricti bl team to few plays, since thia is his first year on thfl job. Haughton has had tho opportonity of carrying his system along, but just at present he hasn't the material to handle this system flnrthinf after thc mantier of Mahan and King If Yale can get next to Haughton's "hide the ball" method. Yale's back; ¦arill be as hard to stop as Haughton's. And since Princeton and Brown proved well enough this deception could b_ uncovered by an alert defence, there is no reason that Yale shouldn't turn the same trick if Yale keens her balar.ee and isn't boflrlldorod at the start. Harvard certainly l.as little chance to throw Yale into any defensive con- vulsions, such as 1914 and 1.15 pro¬ duced. In fact, we have an idea that the Harvard attack will be pretty well satistied w.th one touchdown, trusting to Harvard's defence to do the rest.

NAVY CHANGES LINE-UP TO MEET ARMY'S ATTACK Coach Ingram Says Middies Have Excellent Chance to Beat Soldiers Annapolis, Md., Nov. 22.-The final arrangement of the Naval Academy football t".am, as announced by Head Coach Ingram this afternoon. contains some surprises as to the make-up of the line. There have beefl some changes and somo shifts of position, several play¬ ers beinj» transferred across the line from the Side where they have played during most. of the season. The«e changes have, however, been thought necessary in order to equallse the strength ol" tho wings an.l have been carefully thought out in order t*> meet West Point's attaek. WeiRhts of Players The players of the team which will ¦tart against the Army, with the weight of each, ure: Left end, Fislier, 164; left tackie. Ward. 177; left guard, Reifel, 177; centre, Gooilstein, 180; right gue.rd, Gilman, 195; right tackie. Clarke, 1S7; right end, Jackson. 170; quarterback, Whelchel, 145; left half¬ back, Roberts, 168: riirht halfback, In¬ gram, 175; fullback, Perry, 200. It was not expected that Fisher. fit left end, and < laike, at right tackie. would find places in the first line-up. However, they are stror.g players. Fisher is a particularly aggressive player, and Oliphant, the Army's main reliance, will know that he has been tacklfd if the N.-vy left end BOB* goca into him right. Clarke got into a good many niatchea last season and this and is a steady player. Practise In Seeret. S.'cret practise was held this after- i.oon but no regular scrimmage. The main points covered this afternoon were the perfecting of tha Navy's for¬ ward pass plays and practise in br«*ak- ing up similar plays. This has been a weak point of recent Navy teams. Coach Ingram ex.iressed the opinion Ciat his team had an excellent chance of winning. He believes that the Navy line is Jost as stror.g as the ArmyV an.l that his backfield is on the whole, ..uporior, particularly in its numerous high class n'ernates._ , LEHIGH ELEVEN ENDS HARD WORK FOR LAFAYETTE South Bethlehem, Penn.. Nov. 22 Thii wa* the last afternoon o** har! work for the Lehigh squad. To*4a*# tor about two hours and a half Coach Keu.iy worked with hia men, -indivij- BBlll and as a whoie. The net resul*. of the afternoon's work was quite sat- Isfactory. The uncertainty of the make-up of the eleven is keeping the men on tiie jump all the time, and it is d.mbtful if the actual make-up of tin team will he mtdt known until just before the gam<> sturts. This was testing out day for the' cripples -that is. the men who have^ been on the injured hu, but who seem" to have fully recovered. The tackllng dummy and bucking stiap were BBOl more haub'd out and the cripples were put to work. Most of the meit stood the test quite well. After this, there was a dummy hne-up to work the men out on the defensive in breaking La- fhyeiw forward passes as essayed by rubs. A dnll on drop kickingi and placement formations followe j. Urunner was quite accurate in his drons. averaglng four out of six, while! McCarty's form in placement was notj so good. Trainer Billy Sheridan is worl,in***| hard over Ponn to get him into shape,! un .f thii cun be done he probably will start at cer.tre. Pons's great work against State College makes him flrst choice for the piace. Iho training tabla was recruited to it* eapaeity to-day by the addition of Becker, Heuer and Frain. To-night ther* was another lengthv signal drill and blackboarU talk in the gym. SMITH APPEARS IN HIS UNBFORM AT YALE BOWL Black Also on Field in Street Clothes.Neville Stars on 'Varsity . N*_w Haven.

Chcster La Roche ran tho eleven to-day in good style, and Charlie Galt was at left guard. The regular, enda, George loseley and Charlie Com-1 erford, had a rest, Frank Lynch and Heylinger Chureh replaeing them. Otherwlse the line-up was tha aame aa in the Princeton game. The only acrimmage practice of tha week was held, and as Saturday'a con-. test will ring down the curtain on the Yale schedule, it will be the last of the season. Only "ten minutes play was ordered, but it was cf the slam- bang variety and diselosed Joe Neville flfl the ground gaining hero. On the third play. with tho Varsity in possession of the ball in midfielii. Neville ripped free around left end for ten yards. He repeated the dash on the next scrimmago for a _0->a__ gain, which netted the regulars their fir«t touchdown. Putting the ball in play at the 'var-' sity 20-yard line tho regular backs dashed eighty yards for their second and final touchdown, Ia? Gore working a skin tackle play for tive, Jacobus pen**- trating centre for ten, and La Roche heaving a forward pass to Nevill., who caught the ball and tore forty yards for tho score. The visiting coaches included Jack Plold, Ted Lilley, "Pudge" Heffel-' fitigor, Jack Cates, Foster Rockwell nnd Walter Camp. The 'varsity line-up follows: Loft end. Lynch; left tackle, Gates: loft guard, Galt; centre, Callahan; right guard, Fox: right tackle, Balri-i ridge; right end.

The Yale Football Association to- night asserted that the demands for tickets lor the Yale-Harvard game ex¬ ceeded all previous records. The association has been unable to respond favorablv to nearly 40,000 requ.sts fflJN seats, having sent back about $20,000 which had been forwarded by persons. who mude formal application for tiflk- ets. It has been impossible to provide tickets lor students in the profes- .ional achoolfl, for manv alunuii who! were late in tiling their applica tions, and for many city officials and prominont business men. Although there is a drastic New Haven ordinance against ipeculating in tickets for any amusement or athletic event in New Haven, speculators have began to offer pasteboards in local cates for prices ranging from $10 to $30 each, accoiding to tne location of the seats offered. A large number of people who came from the West to see the game without detinite assurance of tickets has been obliged to pav almost fabulous prices lo the ipocvlatO-fl in order to insure their presence at the game.

This Yale Mair The laat four years have proved that Yale-Pnnceton and Harvard-Priaeetea games form no 6ort of basis for any Yale-Harvard dope. For the la.-t three years Princeton has given Harvard an even flght, jaj, has crushed Princeton and Harvard in turn has smeared Yale all aroaad thi November sward. Last year Yala beat Princeton by a greater margin than Hamrt) 4*14 but this spicy fact didn't prevent Harvard from beating Yale, 41 te 0. So la obtaining conclusions for this game, all preliminary contetts must be threwi aside. The post to* years ttra shown they mean less than nothing. The Difference Tha main uiffercnce, not ejnbracing a few other psychologicsl and pkjsfc-a* aspccts, becins to bc this: Princeton has tried to meet Yale head-on, bean vs. bean aad beae r% bone, which is the way Yale has liked. Harvard, in place of this, hai let Yaie come head-on, bl.the.7 alde ttatrnj and then haa cantered along as far aa ahe cared to go. Hence, all of Yale's aggressifcnesi and blind conrage waa woraa tkt) useless, The harder she eharged the worse ahe waa crossed; the more ittytmrny ¦he launched her drive at Harvard s deceptive offenee the deiper iki tn lured into the morass. It would have been far better for Yale against Harrard, ln the pas., tf Yale had fought with less aggressiveness, had ent out her blind chargiag t*4 had simply gone in to conduct an orderly retreat. For Saturday Yale has her chance on Saturday to beat Harvard. lf e*he ean emplo* tka combination -to charge and fight with her old aggressiveness-but te cktrn with her head up, her eyes open -briefly, to eharge and flght with alertaeu,n well as with desperation. Yale has as mu-h power as Harvard. She has a; much speed. Shi lst ¦ much experience. But deception is a big part of modern football.deception plus itrstt.-, and Yale has been nowhere close to Harvard m these latter respects sinci ltll, Nineteen hundred and eleven was the last year that Harvard attempted 0 meet Yale with the head-on stuff. !Iarvard has been developing decepth*. system for five years now, whereas Tad Jones had only one year's work at Yeh It would certainly be no disgrace for Jones to pit one year's experleaa against Haughton's eight years and lose. He can los« with credit if he ea only implant enough alertness in Yale's defencn to meet the bewfldetag Harvard attaek with fair succss, and this doesn't mean to break up every plra, For Minnesota Sir: Wisconsin was a stindard Western team, a pretty good one. Tkt powerful Minnesota eleven beat this Wisconsin team 54 to 0. Does say ea believe that Brown or Pittsburgh or Harvard could have beaten Witeotu_tf any 54 to 0 score? Minnesota failed to find her true strength until latelafc year, but to-day I don't believe there is another eleven in America that tmU beat her at this stage of her development. Ask Withington of Harvard SIDEUNEI. As Minnesota stands to-day, we would esteem it no pleasure » hattoefWb have a wager against her, even with Brown or Pittsburgh leading the cksifr*. As for Speedy Rush Speedy Rush may not bc the greatest coach that ever lived. but ttj mt against him is far from being proved. At the end of his first four years at Harvard Houghton's teams had just one field goal against Yale. He had won one Yale game out of four starts, and in two of th Yale was on the wane. Suppose Harvard had figured at the end of the 1911 campaign that ton had failed? It would have been simple enough to have said. "Well, Haughton hai bat charge of the Harvard team four years and we haven't crossed Yale'i gaal BBI yet. Why not try some one eh*e?" But Haughton was learning quite a bit In those four years, and the ***** rience that began in 1908 was just ripening in 1912. ln his first four years against Yale Haughton's aystem scored 4 poiata. In his last four years against the same corral Haughton's system has etefel 112 points. Rush hasaaccomplished nothing like a miracle at Princeton, but hs bai mW packing away vast epiantities of useful experience.which ii something nnt than a futile trifle. The December Football Debating Society can now begin to get bmy ea ta following theme, viz.: "Resolved, that the Brown eleven stronger than tmt burgh and deserves the peak." The Atfirmatives and the Negativei will _.<* line up ut the earliest moment in order to be ready for a running start. Picking a quarterback worthy of All-American honors is a rugged ****V ment. But we can pick an orchard full of those who are not. "Xavy confident of beating the Army on Saturday." Which leundi al & arrangements had already been perfected to kidnap Oliphant and VidaL ii interesting case, Watson. Very. If the ravages against Detroit, Tammany and Princeton continoe ta force, the Tiger will soon be on extinct species, with only a few skeleteu \t% to display the animal life of another age. Ohio State and Northwestern may not obtain the space (franted te tmt olevens. but they will be about the only teams on Saturday playing for mt* thing more than exercise. m* The Columbia 'varsity, amarting un¬ der the criticiam heaped upon it by thc student body, smashed through a long scrimmage at South Field yesterday af¬ ternoon. New York University will be met on Saturday in thc final game of the season, and the Blue and White in- tends to win. The boys feel that they have to win to show the university that the team is behind Columbia, just as Columbia is behind the team. The work was fast aad snappy, with a punch in every play. Perhaps the most pleasing feature of the drill was thc open field tackling. The defence hit bard and low and bore the runners down. If they do as well on Saturday Howard Cann and the elu- sive Jack Weinheimer will be well taken care of. Jimmy Cleveland, Donaldlon and Raegner, who came in for a long' drill by Ted Withington. were promi- nent throughout, and the aecond eleven made little ground through their poai- tions. Noble, who has been rushed in sit centre, is developing nicely. He has Ie_rned the plays and is getting a fast charge after anapping the ball back. * Withington paid much attention t_ developing combinetion play on the at¬ tack, and long after the rest of the team had been exrueed he had Raegner and Donaldion off on ona aide of the field instrueting them in aome of the finer pointa of line play.

Harvard Has Edge on Eliin Field Generalship

Teams About Equal inBackfield in Speed

and Power

By GRANTLAND RICECHAPTER III

The most interesting part of thisamazing serinl mjs*, perforce, as you

might say, be carried over to Friday.Order your advance copies now. For

to-morrow brings on tho psyrhology ofthe case, which ir. ¦ Vale-I'rinceton or

a Ynle-IIarvard game i* generally theleading esaenee. xeaterdajr'i discussionwas built aronnd tha defeaea. To-dayWe resume with tlie altack.

Starting with tha qoartoihacka andthe matter of Beld xincralship, whichafter all is tha most important featureBf the present gama, Harvard certainlyisn't (?oing to get the woist of it.

If Tra\ers Smith is ready to play, a

Smith-Ea Roche combination will com¬

pare favorably er OOgh with a Robin-son-.Murray team. Smith has looked tobe one of the seasor.'s leading quarters,and I.a Roche against Princeton ran hi«team with sound judgment most of thewny.

Hut good q'jnr*erhack generalship ha«become a tradition at Harvard, wherefrom one season U> another corn-ct gen¬eralship hus heen handed nlong. Thishasn't been true of Yale. Tad Joneshas undoubtedly started a resumptionof thf proper tyttatt, but if lt came toa tijht pinch we woald look for bettergeneralship from the Harvard side,hah-.t being as powerful as it is. Yalewill undoubtedly ihOW a big 'mprove-ment in this ic-pect over past years;but Harvard is pretty sure not tomake any costly break, since Haughtonis r.ot only a rnrs strategist, but hehas the knack of unparting thisstrategy to his ipiai terbacks in such a

wav that it seems to stick,In figuring Eddie Casey against Harry

1 Coro, Casey has just one advantage.He is a surer ground gaincr, a betterman arith the ball despitc Le Gore's>pecd and strength.But in other respects Lfl Gore is thfl

more valuable man. *He is much betterdefensively, especially in breaking upanv forward passing game. And hiskicking ability makes him of greateruse as a threat from the kick formation.

If properly used, Le Gore should befar more effective on Saturday than h.was against I'rinceton a few days ago.He isn't quite as elusive as Casey, butfor all around value has the call.

In the same way Horween carriesmore value than Braden. The Harvardback isn't quite as good a dron kicker,but he hit. a line harder, is a bit surerfor a steady game and his punting abil¬ity leaves him with a decided margin.So far as actual speed, power and

punch are concerned, there is no grentdifference in the backfield?. Ynle haaahout afl good material here as Har¬vard has.

But Harvard is likely tfl bara thfl ad¬vantage with a more deceptivi* attack.Sfl far Yale hr.s shown no great tieception. Jones has wisely rofltricti blteam to few plays, since thia is his firstyear on thfl job. Haughton has had thoopportonity of carrying his systemalong, but just at present he hasn't thematerial to handle this system flnrthinfafter thc mantier of Mahan and King

If Yale can get next to Haughton's"hide the ball" method. Yale's back;¦arill be as hard to stop as Haughton's.And since Princeton and Brown provedwell enough this deception could b_uncovered by an alert defence, there isno reason that Yale shouldn't turn thesame trick if Yale keens her balar.eeand isn't boflrlldorod at the start.

Harvard certainly l.as little chance tothrow Yale into any defensive con-vulsions, such as 1914 and 1.15 pro¬duced. In fact, we have an idea thatthe Harvard attack will be pretty wellsatistied w.th one touchdown, trustingto Harvard's defence to do the rest.

NAVY CHANGESLINE-UP TO MEETARMY'S ATTACK

Coach Ingram Says MiddiesHave Excellent Chance to

Beat Soldiers

Annapolis, Md., Nov. 22.-The finalarrangement of the Naval Academyfootball t".am, as announced by HeadCoach Ingram this afternoon. containssome surprises as to the make-up ofthe line.There have beefl some changes and

somo shifts of position, several play¬ers beinj» transferred across the linefrom the Side where they have playedduring most. of the season.

The«e changes have, however, beenthought necessary in order to equallsethe strength ol" tho wings an.l havebeen carefully thought out in order t*>meet West Point's attaek.

WeiRhts of PlayersThe players of the team which will

¦tart against the Army, with theweight of each, ure: Left end, Fislier,164; left tackie. Ward. 177; left guard,Reifel, 177; centre, Gooilstein, 180;right gue.rd, Gilman, 195; right tackie.Clarke, 1S7; right end, Jackson. 170;quarterback, Whelchel, 145; left half¬back, Roberts, 168: riirht halfback, In¬gram, 175; fullback, Perry, 200.

It was not expected that Fisher. fitleft end, and < laike, at right tackie.would find places in the first line-up.However, they are stror.g players.Fisher is a particularly aggressiveplayer, and Oliphant, the Army's mainreliance, will know that he has beentacklfd if the N.-vy left end BOB* gocainto him right. Clarke got into a goodmany niatchea last season and this andis a steady player.

Practise In Seeret.

S.'cret practise was held this after-i.oon but no regular scrimmage. Themain points covered this afternoonwere the perfecting of tha Navy's for¬ward pass plays and practise in br«*ak-ing up similar plays. This has been a

weak point of recent Navy teams.Coach Ingram ex.iressed the opinion

Ciat his team had an excellent chanceof winning. He believes that the Navyline is Jost as stror.g as the ArmyVan.l that his backfield is on the whole,..uporior, particularly in its numerous

high class n'ernates._ ,

LEHIGH ELEVENENDS HARD WORKFOR LAFAYETTE

South Bethlehem, Penn.. Nov. 22Thii wa* the last afternoon o** har!work for the Lehigh squad. To*4a*#tor about two hours and a half CoachKeu.iy worked with hia men, -indivij-BBlll and as a whoie. The net resul*.of the afternoon's work was quite sat-Isfactory.The uncertainty of the make-up of the

eleven is keeping the men on tiie jumpall the time, and it is d.mbtful if theactual make-up of tin team will hemtdt known until just before the gam<>sturts.

This was testing out day for the'cripples -that is. the men who have^been on the injured hu, but who seem"to have fully recovered. The tackllngdummy and bucking stiap were BBOlmore haub'd out and the cripples were

put to work. Most of the meit stoodthe test quite well. After this, therewas a dummy hne-up to work the menout on the defensive in breaking La-fhyeiw forward passes as essayed by

rubs. A dnll on drop kickingiand placement formations followe j.Urunner was quite accurate in hisdrons. averaglng four out of six, while!McCarty's form in placement was notjso good.

All Iierords Broken.The Yale Football Association to-

night asserted that the demands fortickets lor the Yale-Harvard game ex¬

ceeded all previous records. Theassociation has been unable to respondfavorablv to nearly 40,000 requ.sts fflJNseats, having sent back about $20,000which had been forwarded by persons.who mude formal application for tiflk-ets. It has been impossible to providetickets lor students in the profes-.ional achoolfl, for manv alunuii who!were late in tiling their applications, and for many city officials andprominont business men.

Although there is a drastic NewHaven ordinance against ipeculating intickets for any amusement or athleticevent in New Haven, speculators havebegan to offer pasteboards in localcates for prices ranging from $10 to$30 each, accoiding to tne location ofthe seats offered.A large number of people who came

lt Harvard football wasn't an amateur proposition.if this stock cetle* ktsold in the open market al to much per share.Bethlehem Steel and Gcact^Mo'.ors would have a worthy rival.

Harvard this seafon wiil finish with four big paylng games.Ceraa'J,Princeton, Brown and Yale.

Thirty thousand saw the Cornell game; 35.000 saw the Princetea tAmr.".c.ooO saw the Brown game, and 72.000 will see the Yale game.

Thia lOtall 117,0m spectators for Harvard's four big games.117,1* ^$2 a thrOW.the answer being $324,000, of which Hlrvard's share *g\ nlltljtti for tlie year, not including a number of minor contests.

This Yale MairThe laat four years have proved that Yale-Pnnceton and Harvard-Priaeetea

games form no 6ort of basis for any Yale-Harvard dope.For the la.-t three years Princeton has given Harvard an even flght, jaj,

has crushed Princeton and Harvard in turn has smeared Yale all aroaad thiNovember sward.

Last year Yala beat Princeton by a greater margin than Hamrt) 4*14but this spicy fact didn't prevent Harvard from beating Yale, 41 te 0. So laobtaining conclusions for this game, all preliminary contetts must be threwiaside.

The post to* years ttra shown they mean less than nothing.

The DifferenceTha main uiffercnce, not ejnbracing a few other psychologicsl and pkjsfc-a*

aspccts, becins to bc this:Princeton has tried to meet Yale head-on, bean vs. bean aad beae r%

¦he launched her drive at Harvard s deceptive offenee the deiper iki tnlured into the morass.

It would have been far better for Yale against Harrard, ln the pas., tfYale had fought with less aggressiveness, had ent out her blind chargiag t*4had simply gone in to conduct an orderly retreat.

For SaturdayYale has her chance on Saturday to beat Harvard. lf e*he ean emplo* tka

combination -to charge and fight with her old aggressiveness-but te cktrnwith her head up, her eyes open -briefly, to eharge and flght with alertaeu,nwell as with desperation.

Yale has as mu-h power as Harvard. She has a; much speed. Shi lst ¦much experience.

But deception is a big part of modern football.deception plus itrstt.-,and Yale has been nowhere close to Harvard m these latter respects sinci ltll,

Nineteen hundred and eleven was the last year that Harvard attempted 0meet Yale with the head-on stuff. !Iarvard has been developing decepth*.system for five years now, whereas Tad Jones had only one year's work at Yeh

It would certainly be no disgrace for Jones to pit one year's experleaaagainst Haughton's eight years and lose. He can los« with credit if he eaonly implant enough alertness in Yale's defencn to meet the bewfldetagHarvard attaek with fair succss, and this doesn't mean to break up every plra,

For MinnesotaSir: Wisconsin was a stindard Western team, a pretty good one. Tkt

powerful Minnesota eleven beat this Wisconsin team 54 to 0. Does say eabelieve that Brown or Pittsburgh or Harvard could have beaten Witeotu_tfany 54 to 0 score? Minnesota failed to find her true strength until latelafcyear, but to-day I don't believe there is another eleven in America that tmUbeat her at this stage of her development. Ask Withington of Harvard

SIDEUNEI.

As Minnesota stands to-day, we would esteem it no pleasure » hattoefWbhave a wager against her, even with Brown or Pittsburgh leading the cksifr*.

As for Speedy RushSpeedy Rush may not bc the greatest coach that ever lived. but ttj mt

against him is far from being proved.At the end of his first four years at Harvard Houghton's teams had

just one field goal against Yale.He had won one Yale game out of four starts, and in two of th

Yale was on the wane.

Suppose Harvard had figured at the end of the 1911 campaign thatton had failed?

It would have been simple enough to have said. "Well, Haughton hai batcharge of the Harvard team four years and we haven't crossed Yale'i gaal BBIyet. Why not try some one eh*e?"

But Haughton was learning quite a bit In those four years, and the *****rience that began in 1908 was just ripening in 1912.

ln his first four years against Yale Haughton's aystem scored 4 poiata.In his last four years against the same corral Haughton's system has etefel

112 points.Rush hasaaccomplished nothing like a miracle at Princeton, but hs bai mW

packing away vast epiantities of useful experience.which ii something nntthan a futile trifle.

The December Football Debating Society can now begin to get bmy ea tafollowing theme, viz.: "Resolved, that the Brown eleven !¦ stronger than tmtburgh and deserves the peak." The Atfirmatives and the Negativei will _.<*line up ut the earliest moment in order to be ready for a running start.

Picking a quarterback worthy of All-American honors is a rugged ****Vment. But we can pick an orchard full of those who are not.

"Xavy confident of beating the Army on Saturday." Which leundi al &arrangements had already been perfected to kidnap Oliphant and VidaL iiinteresting case, Watson. Very.

If the ravages against Detroit, Tammany and Princeton continoe taforce, the Tiger will soon be on extinct species, with only a few skeleteu \t%to display the animal life of another age.

Ohio State and Northwestern may not obtain the space (franted te tmtolevens. but they will be about the only teams on Saturday playing for mt*thing more than exercise.

Perhaps the most pleasing feature ofthe drill was thc open field tackling.The defence hit bard and low and borethe runners down.
