  IN THE FOOTBALL WORLD. INDIANS FIGURE IN SIZING UP SECTIONAL STRENGTH. play Minnesota When Michigan Meets Penn syIVanIa -PrlncetOn-COrnell Scores In Connection with Yale-PrInceton Resuits Practice Of the College Teams. suit -PractIce Of n College Teams. Until the best team in the East meets the best one In the West the question OF superior iy between the two sections cannot be de- Cided in the most satisfactory way, but such All arrangement is impracticable. From the standpoint OF sectional rivalry IL “ unfortunate that Pennsylvania ls not doing better this year and will not 20 against the Mlchlganders with the reputation OF being one OF the best teams vi the season in the East. It’s difficult 10 see how IL can earn that reputation now. though the Quakers still have u chance to redeem themselves. II Pennsylvania is beaten by the Michigan men it will be contended that the latter did not beat the best In the East. and IL Pennsy lvania downs Mich igan there may be room for ground for the assertion that Michigan wa not the strongest combination in the OCcident. Both ChicaRo and Minnesota are in the race for first place among the Western universities. As between them, the question Of superiority will be- set tied. for they play each other. but neither ENcounters Michigan. The nearest Chicago and Michigan come to u direct clash il in directly. They play one team In common the tniversitS of Illinois eleven. As “A matter OF fact the showing of the Carlisle Indians In the West viii have an important bearing in sizing up the sectional question. The Indians are to play Minnesofa OIL November IL, anu Nv the tlHlc tluI game is over Chicago will have played Minnesofa and illinois. and Michigan will have wrestied with Pennsylvania. The latter game also is on November IL, 30 that that date viii be a momentous one In afording oppor- %tunitles to compare the two sections. IL will be a roundabout means OF baslng conillusions at the best. but the only means. The followers of football will be involved up TO their ears in the comparative showing Of Pennsylvania and Minnesota against the Indians. and Chicago and Michlsan against syiyania and Michigan against each other. and Chicago and Illinois against each other. Then again Harvard. who has, q chance the Indians, who play Minnesota. who play Chicago, who play Illinois. who have been BEATEN : o. by Nh Mi CHI az ,bI There aeasoN WA 9ar De Sn q exb nHe accountant, Others would better keep of. lest they wind up in a padded cell. W, II. Lewis OF Harvard. who has seen Carlisle play, says the redskins are a whirlwind team this year and are. making the most OF the new conditions.

The work Of the Tigers against Cornell was encouraging, but thoughtful students Of the game at Old Nassau were not carried away with the idea that in itself it argued a victory C,r oyer oronS AZ rho oC eGde a1d s9 ,hrSr to the line. says the. Daily PrincttORidn, leaves little, doubt that the university team has not yet developed a defence which will he power full enough to check lale on the nth of No. yember. Only three weeks OF the present football season remain. Three weeks IN viii go down in the annals as one OF Prince tons greatest teams. The team needs the support OF the, undergraduates at this critical period, and win or lose on November II let II not be said OF any of the men in the uni yersity that they have not contributed thei Satuelay was poor, partly due to the fact that the men were scattered, but this is no Princeton was outoheered by Cornell and there was less feTvor in the cheering than New Workers are accustomed to hea ring from Pp5in Set96S oS 9 Snye NEW f1Tk S5ss VINO mo doubt that the cheering on that occasion will be fully up to the mark. From 1891 to 1905 inclusive Princeton and Cornell have met fourteen times. OF the FIVE victories which Princeton has won from Yale in that length Of time two came after close games between Princeton and Cornell, whilethe three others followed games in which the Tigers beat the Ithacans by overwhelming scores. In 1893 Princeton beat Cornell, I6 to 0, and beat Yale, 0 to o. In 1898 Prince ton beat Cornell. 81 to 0, and beat Yale, “a TO q. In 1898 the figures were: Princeton, 0; the scores were: Cornell. s.; Princeton. O., and Princeton, IL, lale, 10. In 1903 Prince ton beat Cornell. ~ 10 0, and beat Yale. IL In 1891 Princeton beat Cornell, 6 to 0, and was beaten by Yale; in 1894 Princeton beat Cornell. II to 0. and succumbed TO Yale; in isgj the score was Princeton, 4: Cornell. 5, and Yale beat Princeton; in 1897 Princeton trimmed Cornell, 10 TO 0. and lost to Yale; in 1900 Cornell beat Princeton, II 10 U, and Yale beat Princeton, in 1901 the score was Prince ton, s: Cornell, 0. and Yale beat Princeton; in 1902 Yale beat Princeton after Princeton had drubbed Cornell, 10 10 o: in 1904 Princeton won from Cornell, rs to @, and lost to Yale; in 1905 Princeton won from Cornell by a score of 10 TO . S Hea sU Therefore re hee Princeton has not aoT’ Won from Yale when the formers games with Cornell were at all close. II the Tigers follow their IA 10 5 victory over Cornell this year with a defeat of Yale II will be a departure from the rule. Every rule has It’s exceptions. say the Tigers, There is a nephew Of Mike Murphy on the Yale freshman team. He is a rafting good football, player and might have made ne eleven. He seems 10 have inherited some Of Mikes spripting ability. for he ran gS yards for a touchdown against the varsity the other day. Young Murphy comes from Exeter, where he was a high stand man in his studies. New York University’s football team has been hard Of work the last three days in preparation for the game with Rutgers on elect ion day. The game with Stevens brought out the weak points OF the team and Head Coach Church has been trying to remedy the defects. The ends, Bernstein, Arnolt. Fonsor and hayden, were put through the %stHrest interference and running down under punts. The tackles were drilled In breaking through the line and blocking their men. The new forward pass was then tried. together with a DELAYED pass. which IL expected TO work vol against Rutgers. Ghe varsity lined up against the scrub and a hard twenty minute scrimma1e was INDUCED In, the varsity scoring twice. The Fordham eleven stopped hard practice Yesterday afternoon after lining up AGAINST the scrubs in two brisk fifteen minute periods.

Cornell started right out at the kick off and for a time had Princeton ad- herents in dismay. The 1thacans were somewhat lighter than their opponents the first half, gaining botE around the ends and with the forward pass which was worked with telling effect. but which later Was mace ineffective throu ghfumbling. Cornell also had the good luck to come out much better than Princeton in this fumbling and profted very con siderably through the penalizing by Princeton. The second half was characterized by line pucking rather than the open game and Princeton showed a vast superior ity over Cornell. Cornelrs touchdown was made by Walders and Cook kicked the ball to what was thought to De d goal by almost every one present. There was much astonishmcnt at the end of the half when the referee announced that the ball had not gone between the posts. Princeton’s first touchdown came un- expcctcdly, and was due |” the tumb- ling of a Cornell player. wiser took the ball over and Cooney kicked zeal :.

With one short gain she sent Eddie Dillon on a run around end, when Cornell was unprepared and there were ten Princeton men standing seem ipgly idle on the line. As Dillon reach ed the end he stopped. and hurting the BAH across the surprised line OF Cor nell forwards, placed il directly In the hands OF Hosgland. who kept on and took the ball To Conells 20-yard line before he was downed. a net gain oil thirty yards Two plays into the line failed to gain. Then Princeton tried a quarterback kick. The ball went right 10 Jameson, the Cornell quarterback, bur he was not prepared. He failed 10 stop it and Wis tar. trailing on, picked 1t mp and was over the goal line for a touchdown. The Princetons cohorts went wild. and and cheer madly followed cheer until Cooney. carefully sighting the bali in placement. kicked the goal that the crowd thought tied the score. Ithacans Dangerous Again. Princeton’s rejoicing was short lived, however, for Cornell came right back. Running the kick-oif back thirty yards, st punted thirty more into PrincetOn’s territory. Princeton kicked back only fifteen yards, when Cornell with a for Ward pass and two short gains, car ried the ball 10 within twenty yards OF Princeton’s goal. Here it was lost on an alert play by Rulon-AuIler, but Princeton failed to gain, and was forced 70 kick il back To Cornell with a loss OF only fifteen yards to the Ithacans.

Again Prince ton was unable to gain and she kicked 10 Cornell on the 4O-yard line. The Ithacan attack then got together again.
