Princeton completed the first half of her 1913 schedule on Saturday, when the Tigers defeated Syracuse 13 to 0. In I0af games IHe OF8bSe d11d DteaSA has rolled up 124 points. Counting sHbstitutiens and re-subst1tutiens Princeton has used 115 players in these four contests Of the 19 touchdowns Streit alone has scored eight, while Captain Baker has accounted for three more At this time it would appear as though the Tigers were building an eleven around two or three star play CTS. and this system has failed to win for Princeton in the past, since both Yale and Harvard persist in covering these stars on the days of the big games until they are unable, to get away for either runs or line plun8es. The University of Pennsylvania team under the coaching of Brooke is grad ually improving in every department or the game and bids fair eventually to reach the plane occupied by the Red and Blue elevens which have made football history in years gone by In the five games of the season to date PennsyIvania has scored 124 points. The Quakers appear to have developed a strong attack combined with an eX- celIent defense. CorneIFs Play Inconsistent. CornelPs play this season has been marked by inconsistency but the lth- aca clan promises to be factor to reckon with before the final games are played Cornell has scored 88 points to her opponents 26. There is little evidence of strength in either the of fense or defense The team appears to be still in the making, but may yet de- velOp into a serious rival to Pennsyl- vania before Thanksgiving day comes. In the second division of eastern teams Dartmouth, Colgate, Carlisle, Army and Navy all figure close at the heels of the big varsity combinations

  JOHNSON LEADS ALL HURLERS IN MAJORS IN SHUT-OUT GAMES FORK, October 1e.--Withgthe half- mark passed in the schedules Of the big eastern college football teams the strength and weakness of the va rlous eevens are beginning TO be appa- , rent TO close followers of the autumn sport. Saturdays games in many cases were the final so-called practice contests and from this time on the varsity combinations will face opponents capable of extending the leading gridiron aggregations to the point where coaches will easily detect faults in both offense and defense. Although none of the big university teams was defeated Saturday, there were several close calls. II is becoming more apparent that the minor college teams must be reckoned with in schedule ar rangements. Yale alone of the leaders has kept her goal line uncrossed this season. Harvard. Princeton and Penn bylvania have been scored on and Cor hell has ben scored on four times and defeated once. The Army just evaded defeat by Colgate Saturday. Harvard Team Progressing Although Harvard was scored on by Holy Cross Saturday, the eastern cham pionship college of 1912 appears to. be moving forward at a pace that sur BASES that of any of her formidable rivals at this time In four games com prising 1872 minues of actual playing. the crimson has registered lis points, conssting of IS touchdowns. II goals from kouchdowns. four field goals and one bafety by opponents. Harvard has a strong backfield, but the weak point in the team appears to be quarterback. The progress of the Yale squad, while not as rapid or consistent as that of Harvard, still is encouraging to the followers of the blue. In five games, consuming 27S minutes, the Ellis have scored e5 points, consisting of Is touchdowns, II goals from touchdowns and two field goals. While Yale’s defense seems on a par with that of both Harvard and Prince ton, ELS attack lacks the drive and finish of the crimson. Princeton completed the first half of her schedule Saturday by defeating Syracuse 13 to 0. In four games the Tigers have made 124 points In 1874 min utes. OF the is touchdowns, Streit has scored eight and Captain Baker three more. This would indicate the Tigers we’re building up an eleven with two br three star players and this system failed to win for them In the past. | The University of Pennsylvania team under Coach Brooks bids fair eventutally to reach the plane occupied by the red and blue elevens which made foot ball history in years gone by. In five games Pennsylvania has scored 124 points in ia minutes of play, getting 16 touchdowns, 10 goals and five field goals. The Quakers appear to have de-

Streit and Baker were the Princeton stars. as had been expected. ‘Hobey” eluded the Syracuse ends for gains time and again, while STREET averaged 10 yards on each OF his line plunges. scoring both touchdowns for his team. The Tigers started things their way from the kick-off Baker kicked TO Farber. who was downed in his tracks. Then he ran back the punt 10 yards. STREET. made 10 yards on plunge, but Bakers poor punt gave the visitors the ball on Princeton’s 45-yard mark. Click intercepted forward pass, and then the Tigers marched steadily down the field to the 5yard line, where SYRIA cuse held. In the second period STREET. began his series of line plunges. which resulted in a touchdown. Baker kicked goal Five minutes later, following two end runs for Is and 10 yards. by Baker and Click, STREET. again crossed the line, but the try for goal failed. Both teams punted often in the third period, Hammond showing up well COW ering punts for the Tigers. The visitors gained a first down in this period on a pretty fake kick play. The ball see- sawed up and down the field in the last period, the Tigers failing several times on attempted forward passes. The game ended with the ball in the center of the field -
