  line. At ithaca, Cornell found tough Gus toner in Colgate, and neither side could I score point, almost duplicating the game OF yean ago, which was lilo in Cornell s favor Harvard beat Williams to 0, but could not cross her opponents goal line, two fumbles giving Harvard touchdown and a safety. Princeton had an easy OPP ponent in Villa Nova and won by “a to O.. Yale played her first game Of the year on Wednesday, when Wesleyan was beate 81 to o. This game was looked forward to with much interest because Yale has posed as mentor in the reformed foot ball. The additional fact that Walter Camp, who | Is credited with great many of the new plays, Is Ya!e’s advisory coach increased interest in seeing what Yale would do. The Ellis played the new rules to the best Of | their ability and got away with some for | ward passes which brought the crowd to its feet Yet Yale found the same difficulty In operating this play that the other big teams have encountered. In fact the Ellis have little more love for the new rules than the other big teams. In the other mid-week games Pennsylvania was outplayed by Gettysburg. though the game ended in tie at 6–⁠6. Princeton won another easy victory, beating Stevens p to 0. Cornell met Hamilton and triumphed q to o, the Ithacans playing a Saturday. The demand for drop k:ckers made at the start Of the present season is being answered quickly. In Wednesdays games there were three field goals made in contests played by members of the big Five” Sieber, the Gettysburg captain, scored against Pennsylvania with a drop kick at bad angle from the fortyyard line. He just missed another from the thirty-fve yard mark. In the Harvard Owdoin game Burr of Harvard place-kicked a goal from the thirty -eight-yard mark. Finally, Harla ha nj hal ank witt drop kick from the thirty-yard line against Stevens. The man who promises to develop into one Of the best drop kickers is the east is Vorh.s. the quarter back Of a goal from field in every game he has played this year and In two games he scored twice. Vorhis is only a freshman, having played last year with the New YORK. School of Commerce team. II 1t would be hopeless task at this stage of the game to attempt to compare the strength Of the leading elevens of the east. Considering only the first two games, 1t must be admitted that Princeton looks best. The Tigers have put up a strong attack. using the open running game to its best advantage. Yale had a tough customer In Wesleyan, but won out with plenty to spare. Pennsylvania has been weakened by the temporary loss of Capt. Greene. Draper and Zlegler, all stars OF the HrSt magnitude. With them in the game things may look brighter Cornell had very strong opponent in Colgate, and may be pardoned that 90 score. The 1thacans have a fast back field, and will gain strength as the season advances. Harvard does not look well adapted to the new rules and has played a poor game so far this year. X While all this agitation is going on about the roughness of Rugby foot ball, the advo- Gates of the association game in the differ ent colleges are hard at work planning their campaigns The Intercollegiate League promises to be stronger organization than ever this winter The last season was very successful one teams competing from PENNSYLVANIA, Harvard. Haverford, Cor nell, Princeton and Columbia. The Prince ton team, which obliged to withdraw from the league because of the opposition of the faculty, which refused to sanction games away from home, will probably re-
