PRINCETON AND YALE PLAYED STRONG GAMES

Further proof of the ability of Harvard's remaining football opponents was given Saturday when the latter, now numbering five, were uniformly successful in what may be regarded as their first vital games. In most cases a marked development over the playing of the previous Saturday was shown: Brown and Yale both gave evidence of a distinct advance, and Princeton displayed an almost end-season perfection in the execution of consistent straight football, both offensive and defensive.

Cornell will come to Cambridge Saturday with a powerful team, strengthened by able substitutes, if one may judge from Saturday's game. Against Bucknell the Ithacans rolled up 41 points, of which 28 were scored in the first half, and 13 in the second half, when the substitutes were playing.

A new star in the person of Eddy made his debut for Princeton in the game against Lafayette. Eddy was a star on his freshman team two years ago, but has been kept out of the game much of the time with an injured shoulder. Judging from his playing Saturday, however, the lack of experience was unimportant for he made three of Princeton's six touchdowns and distinguished himself in all departments. The Princeton line was working with steamroller effectiveness and on one occasion paraded seventy yards down the field for a touchdown. Lafayette approached within striking distance for the first time in the final period. Even here the defence of the Orange team made a touchdown impossible and the opponents were forced to be contented with a dropkick. This was the first score made against Princeton this year.

Yale showed her superiority over Springfield Y. M. C. A. College, registering 19 points, but was lucky to escape being scored on herself. A fumble by a Springfield back when tackled by Legore under the Blue goal posts alone prevented the visitors from making a touchdown. This opportunity came as the result of a blocked kick. Springfield depended largely upon an open attack and in the third period opened up a series of forwards which, for a time, completely bewildered the New Haven men. Yale tightened up in the crisis, however, and soon retaliated with similar play. Legore at fullback and Neville, who is taking Guernsey's place in the backfield, were the stars of Coach Hinkey's team. The total of penalties against the Yale eleven reached 135 yards.

Penn. State and Brown were both easy victors Saturday. The former defeated Gettysburg, 27 to 12, and the latter, recovering from her defeat by Amherst a week ago came back and beat the Williams eleven 33 to 0. Neither Gettysburg nor Williams, however, have displayed much ability this year.
