    Brown Team was Wired after Wale
Game—Cornell Feared.
Cambridge, October 25.—Harvard has
been fighting Yale’s battles over again
during the past week, meeting the
Newton Athletic Association football
team on Wednesday and the Brown
eleven on Saturday. In each instance
Harvard improved on Yale’s score, and
much has beeri said of the superiority
of the Harvard team as evidenced by
the relative showing made in these
games. In point of fact, a much better
line on the work of the two elevens
can be obtained by a day spent in watch-
ing their practice than by any con-
sideration of their showing against
other teams. :
In the case of the Newton game,
Harvard played four days after Yale
and won by a score of 24 to 0, Yale’s
total having been 10 to 0; in the game
with Brown, Harvard’s figures were 18
to 0, while Yale won only by the slim
margin of 18 to 14. In each case, how-
ever, the conditions were quite dis-
similar.
Yale’s defensive play is not yet as re-
liable as Harvard’s, but that is about
the only deduction which is warranted
by the showing made in the two games.
In offensive work the two teams seem
about equal now.
THE NEWTON A. A. GAME,
The game with Newton was played
on Soldiers’ Field and Harvard had the
advantage of familiar territory. The
day was bleak and the crisp air made
sharp, lively work possible. In the
Yale game at Newton the home players
were sparring for time during the en-
tire contest and, the constant delays
kept Yale from doing effective work.
The first half, in which Yale had the
wind, was clipped nearly a third. In
the Harvard game the halves were
longer and except toward the close the
Newton team did not indulge in dila-
tory tactics. Harvard made two touch-
downs during the afternoon by. her own
aggressive play, the same number that
Yale had secured the previous Satur-
day. The additional scores were ob-
tained by mistakes on the part of the
backs, due to lack of familarity- with
the signals. In one instance, the New-
ton quarter passed the ball to H. P.
Cross, who was officiating as umpire.
Newton played hard and in the
second half carried the ball to within
ten yards of Harvard’s goal, chiefly
owing to a 20-yard run by Draper
through Wheeler.
THE GAME WITH BROWN.
Saturday’s contest showed the fallacy
of attempting to play two important
games in one week. Coach Moyle of
Brown said afterwards that his men
did not play the game that they did
against Yale. They did not seem like
the same team. With Captain Fultz
out, on account of a stiff ankle, there
was no one to interfere for Gammons,
and he could not often gain unassisted.
Brown found Harvard’s ends stronger
than Yale’s, but Captain Cabot was
boxed three times and long runs nar-
rowly averted. The fact that Harvard
knew the Brown formations behind. the
line, made them mutch less effective
than they were at New Haven.
Harvard played four _ substitutes,
Boal at guard, Mills and Swain at
tackle, and Richardson on the end, but
in no case, with the possible exception
of Mills at right tackle, was the line
weakened in consequence. Swain,
Richardson and Boal were always in
the play. Swain is outplaying Wheeler
and will probably oust him perma-
nently.
The Providence team has a host of
warm admirers in Boston and many
alumni in this vicinity, so that it was
well supported and frequently cheered.
Nearly five thousand people saw the
game. The first three minutes fur-
nished exciting football. After the
opening exchange of punts, on the
first down, Harvard opened up a broad
avenue in the right of the Brown line
and sent Dibble through fifty yards for
a touchdown. He fell before reaching
the goal line and was dragged the last
five yards by his brother players. The
interference of Cabot in this play was
the finest seen here this season.
It may be safely said that

HARVARD MAKES GOOD SCORES,
After the unsuccessful try for goal,
Hall kicked from the center of the field
and Brown of Harvard fumbled, the
visitors securing the ball on Harvard’s
15-yard line. They advanced it ten
yards and then lost it on a fumble when
a touchdown looked certain.
The remainder of the game was hard
football and Harvard earned all her
touchdowns. The home team was on
the defensive most of the time, but the
visitors could not advance the ball
when near the coveted goal line.
Harvard made gains through the
Brown line readily when she had pos-
session of the ball, but most of the time
it was in her opponent’s possession.
Half-back Brown kicked poorly for
Harvard. Sullivan is playing in Sawin’s
place and is doing well. There is little
choice between Dibblee, Sullivan and
Sawin for half-backs. Sullivan’s ex-
perience on last year’s team and his
weight are in his favor.
If Cornell’s heavy backs are as good
ground gainers as they are claimed to
be, they ought to score on Harvard
Saturday and have a chance to win.

The Princeton--U. of P. Difii-
culty—No Game This Year.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.]
Princeton, Oct. 18.—There has re-
cently been a revival of talk hereabouts
relative to a resumption of athletic re-
lations between Princeton and the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. The renewed
agitation of the question was initiated
by a Philadelphia newspaper, which sent
out cards to a number of Princeton and
Pennsylvania alumni asking a state-
ment of their opinion as to whether or
not the two institutions should again
contest with each other for athletic hon-
ors. Most of the responses printed
were favorable to the plan, but the
alumni who spoke were not sufficiently
potent to produce much effect.
The differences between the two in-
stitutions are the result of the memora-
ble football battle in Trenton in 1894.
Princeton had been defeated by Penn-
sylvania in 1892, but had avenged the
defeat in 1893. When the two teams
went on the field in 1894 there was a
-large amount of hard feeling that for
some time had been brewing. In the
game, Pennsylvania immediately show-
ed herself to be the stronger. Then it
was that the real trouble began. Penn-
sylvania commenced to indulge in irri-
tating comments on the work of their
opponents, and as the game progressed
the feeling grew bitter in the extreme.
Personal difficulties of a serious nature
were narrowly averted, and the whole
affair ended most unpleasantly.
Princeton’s Faculty, realizing the
feeling in the College, immediately
made a law that there should be no
more games between Princeton and
Pennsylvania, at least until the Class
of Ninety-Eight had graduated. They
were Freshmen when the game oc-
curred.
For a year or two the feeling be-
tween the undergraduates of the two
Universities was vindictive, and few
opportunities to fan the flame of hard
feeling were omitted by the daily
papers. Durine the last year, however,
with both Colleges almost entirely com-
posed of new men, the mutual dislike
has been very much softened, and Cap-
tain Cochran agreed to have Minds of
Pennsylvania umpire one of Princeton’s
games last season.
NO GAME THIS YEAR.
The undergraduate sentiment at
Princeton is generally in favor of play-
ing Pennsylvania, although this feel-
ing on the part of those who saw the
game at Trenton is tinctured with a
desire to “pay off old scores,” as a
prominent athlete has expressed it,
rather than influenced by a feeling for
real sport. The Faculty and Athletic
Advisory Committee, however, con-
sider that it is best to let matters re-
main as they are until all hard feeling
is gone, so that when relations are re-
sumed the result will be games sports-
manlike in every particular.
It is certain that there will be no
game between Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania this year. Whether the situation
will be different twelve months hence
is something not just now to be accu-
rately prophesied.
