WEEKLY
HARVARD VS, PRINCETON
A Remarkable Contest Expected at
Cambridge—Chances for Princeton.
Cambridge, Mass., November 3.—Only
four days intervene before Harvard
meets Princeton on Soldiers’ Field in
what promises to be the greatest foot-
ball game played here in seven years.
It was seven years ago that .the last
game between the Crimson and the
Orange and Black was played in Cam-
bridge, and that game resulted in the
breach between the two colleges which
kept them apart in athletics until two
years ago. Before the game, Princeton
had protested some haif dozen or more
of Harvard’s players on the ground of
professionalism. Harvard responded
by protesting every man on the Prince-
ton eleven. With such bad blood man-
ifest, the game could hardly have been
otherwise than it was. In the first half
the home team more than held its own,
but after the intermission the Princeton
forwards ripped up the Harvard line
and so demolished the defensive game
of their opponents that the backs were
able to score almost at will. The final
result was, Princeton 41, Harvard 10.
After the game Harvard students held
amass meeting and resigned ‘from the
Intercollegiate Football Association.
This year the teams will meet on a
new field across the Charles. The men
who were spectators at the previous
game have long since graduated, and
the game has become ancient: history.
Last year the meeting of the two uni-
versities at Princeton was signally free
from any objectionable features and the
Princeton team will be cordially wel-
comed to Harvard next Saturday.
GOOD SHOWING AGAINST THE INDIANS.
The game between Harvard and the
Indians last Saturday was the first
strong showing of the home team this
season. It insures a good game with
the Tigers. In spite of the absence of
Wrightington, Cabot, Wheeler and
Haughton, Harvard stood up well be-
fore the strong Carlisle team and
showed unexpected steadiness at critical
moments. The fierce plunges of Cayou,
Metoxen and McFarland made many
gains, and several times drove back the
Harvard line for forty yards or more,
but the Crimson never failed, when the
situation grew dangerous, to promptly
calla halt. The splendid stand which
the team made in holding the Indians
on the five-yard line was especially
worthy of remark. The weak places in
the Harvard line were at left end and
guard, and the two tackle positions.
Cabot will be in his old place at left end
on Saturday and there will be no weak-
ness in that quarter then. Wheeler
may be able to play one of the tackle
positions. It is Harvard’s misfortune
that, with Newell and Waters, two of
the greatest tackles that ever played
football, as active coaches, she has yet
been unable to strengthen these places
in the line. Wheeler, Donald, Haugh-
ton and Merriman have all been dis-
abled and compelled to withdraw, and
in consequence there has been no oppor-
tunity to perfect the play in these posi-
tions,
Behind the line, Beale at quarter
showed improvement last Saturday, as
he always does in a big game, and Dun-
lop played the best game of his football
career, making brilliant runs repeatedly
and showing that he is capable of tak-
ing a place among the best half-backs
of the year. If he duplicates his per-
formance next Saturday and Wright-
ington is able to play, there will be no
longer any ground for apologizing for
Harvard’s backs. Brown at fullback
punted well last Saturday and will not
suffer greatly by comparison with
Baird ifthe line protects him as well as
it did last week.
THE PROBABLE CHARACTER OF THE GAME,
The probable line-up of the Harvard
team is after this order : Cabot, left end;
Wheeler or Mills, left tackle; Bouve,
left guard; F. Shaw, center; N. Shaw,
right guard; Merriman, right tackle;
Moulton, right end;, Beale, quarter-
back; Wrighington, or Sullivan, left
half-back ; Dunlop, right half-back ;
Brown, full-back.
There is no question that Princeton is
stronger than Harvard, and the game
on Saturday should result in.a Princeton
victory. But the score should be close
and touchdowns will be few if Harvard
succeeds in handling Baird’s punts
cleanly and preventing Brown’s_ kicks
from being blocked, But although Har-
‘the kicking game.

vard should keep Princeton’s score down
to small figures, it is very doubtful
whether she will be able to reach the
Princeton goal line. Her backs are
strong, but her play on the offensive is
not sufficiently perfected to be effective
against a strong opponent.
In the game on Saturday, Princeton’s
best gains are likely to be made between
center and left end and through right
tackle. It may prove, also, that Moul-
ton will not be equal to preventing gains
around his end, and as he is better at
getting through intérference from be-
hind than meeting it when it is headed
in his direction. Harvard’s best gains
are likely to be made, as for some years
past, by forcing the opposing ends out
of the play and sending the runner be-
hind interference around the tackles.
If Harvard loses, and she probably
will, it will be, in large measure, be-
cause she has not sufficiently mastered
Her coaches are not
lacking in knowledge, but owing to the
necessity that they have been under of
instructing a large number of players in
those essentials which must be mastered
beforea kicking game can be attempted,
they have been unable, thus early in the
season, to obtain any such mastery of
punting tactics as marked Yale’s play
and baffled the Tigers in the New York
game last November.
