Sot around end for .20 yards on a fake kick,
lit this play naa followed by a foolish for
ward pas, which Curtis, of Dartm6uth, In
tercepted, and ran lack to the S.yard line,
rom which point It wns rushed over for a
touchdown it waa not good Judgment to use
a forward pass hero It waa only second down,
Dartmouth hadn't scored, nnd the hall was on
rennajlvnnla'a .tO-vnr.l line. The rule of com
mon sense In tho use of the forward pass Is
not to try It In your nnri territory, unless the
team Is soifar ahead that Ins Interception will
do no haim, or your own team la so far be
hind that resort to desperate measures Is
necessary.
In this rase, neither side had scored, and
rennaltanla had demonstrated Its ability to
hold Dartmouth's attack. This play was the
turnlnr point In tho whole game. And even if
a forward pass bad been Justified, the ball
should neer hae been hurled across the
field at such an angle, lor Curtis took It on
tho dead run, and the Pcnnsjlvanla defense
hadn't time to meet him,
I'ensylvanla was guilty of another lapse
when Dartmouth scored Its second touchdown.
From mldflcld, at which point Tucker had
kicked out of bounds, Curtis rushed the ball
br.ck 23 Jards in two plajs. Murdoch- then
mado four. Then Qhee fumbled, but Whitney
recovered the ball for Dartmouth. The next
nnd the scoring play was a long forward
pass to Wlnshlp, which tho Dartmouth men
caught over tho line. Wrny was right with
the Dartmouth man as ho prepared to make
the catch, nnd could have batted the ball down
more easily than Wlnshlp could have caught
It, but for somo reason he merely looked on,
and the mischief had been dono.
ATTACK WAS WEAK.
rennslvanla's attack was of tho feeblest
nature Sometimes a team doesn't score bo
cause the other eldo scores nwt and keeps
tho ball all the time. Dartmouth luid tho ball
a good part of the afternoon on this occasion,
but If tho Quakers had had any rushing or
running strength they had nmplo opportunity
to demonstrate It. During the game the
Quakers were In possession of the ball is
times, though once they lost it on the first
play through a fumble Only once wore ita
able to rush It for a first down, and but three
times did short forward passes ghe them , a
first do.wn. Only once In the whole game did
thoy net the ball beyond mldnold That was
in tno nna penoo, iimn .j S" ,,.. Yn
their own 24-yard lino to Dartmouth s i 40
jard line on two suecesalo forward ipasacsot
10 yards each and a IVyard penalty against
Dartmouth. But hero they lost It on an un
successful forward pass. -i...'.
The rame prmod once moro to the writers
satisfaction that any team which .depends
upon forward passing as the basis of Us at
tack Is doomed to disaster. Out of I h -1
times that Pennsylvania put the ball In plaj,
puntlr.g excluded, tho forward pass wns useci
its times, succeeding four times for a, total
of .15 yards. Efforts were mode to rush tho
ball Just eight times. Ono such play gained
20 yards, npother ne. Tho remainder wero
either losses or gains of but a J ard ot -two.
The schemo of Dartmouth'a attack called for
a rushing and running attack as the basis,
with the toward pnes for variety nnd to keep
tho defonso weakened Also, Dartmouth haa
InterfHicnco for runners, and ends who could
get down tho field under kicks. Indeed, the
Dartmouth ends this year wero oulto as ef
fective as those of a year ago. Merrell had
hardly a chance to run back kicks, and the
wonder Is that be held punts as well as ho
did
Princeton almost Joined tho ranks of the
famous "come-back teams." That wonderful
rally In tho fourth period, with tho score 10-0
In Yalo'B fnor, will become hlstorlo In tho
Tigers' gridiron annals Tho only thing lack
ing to mnko tho game famous for all tlmo was
thnt Trlnceton didn't get tho third touchdown
which would hao won tho game. Previously,
Pennsylvania nnd Yale had enjoyed the dis
tinction of producing the only real come-back
tenms. In 11)02. Pennsylvania was led 11-0
by Cornell at tho end of tho first half, bdt
In tho second half tho Quakers tallied 12
points and won the gnme. Then Yalo beat
Frincelnn in almost the same way in 1007.
In lOllf. Pennsylvania was apparently over
whelmed by Michigan, tho first half ending
21-0 In Michigan's favor, but in tho second
half the Quakers camo back and scored 28
points, winning the game, 20-20.
" " SUBS DO Tlin WORK.
Tho marvelous feature of Princeton's exhi
bition on Saturday wns thnt up to the moment
Princeton turned, the Yale team seemed to
have an Immense advantage, and It wns ox
tremely doubtful If Princeton could score. Yet
two of tho men who saved the day for the
Tigers wero second-string players. Neither
Dlckcrmsn nor Morro has been considered
good enough to start any Important game,
and even Law had been regarded as a sub
stitute Beforo the gamp, tho writer expressed the
opinion that while both Yale ami Princeton
had devoted a groat deal of tlmo to open
football, notably tho forward and lateral
passes, tho Yale men had built tho more
soundlv. Theso tomblnntlon passes had much
to do with Yale's, first two touchdowns. But '
both of them were well screened and had so
many possibilities that Princeton never knew
where Yale would strike. But Yale also had
a good rushing attack, and gained through
Princeton's lino with almost as much easo
as did Harvard tho week before.
It was largely through the rushing and run
ning attack that Princeton scored against
Yale, and this weakness on the Ells' part is
likely to be fatal against a team so powerful
as Harvard in rushing tactics. Since the
Harvanl men have struck their gait they have
been able to break up all kinds of forward
pasting They will meet a complicated forward-passing
game from Yale, and the in
genuity of their defened will be tested to the
utniost. But from this distance the Harvard
running and rushing offense, coupled with the
Crimson's strength In the kicking- department,
looks to be a far more formidable weapon
than the Yale attack.

BEING WROUGHT ON
ST, MARTIN'S GREEN
Since Long-term Lease Has

phia Cricket Club Has
Authorized Golf Course
Changes.
Having secured a ten-year leaso on the
property and acquired additional ground,
the Philadelphia Cricket Club is now
making extensive alterations on its golf
courso at St. Martin's. Donald J. Ross,
tho well-known golf architect, has
planned tho changes nnd the work is be
ins carried out by W. D. Hatch, under
tho supervision of Francis 13. Warner,
chairman of the Orcen Committee. When
tho Improvements are completed the
couiso will bo second to none In Phila
delphia. Holes Nos. 1. 2 nnd 3 will follow the
same generul direction of the present
one, but additional traps will bo placed
nnd the contour of tho greens changed.
The present cop bunkers on these three
holes will be removed.
No. 4 will bo an entirely new hole, 200
yards long. Tho dtlve Is across tho gul
ley now In front of the sixth tee. with ft
trap 150 yards away, and a slightly bowled
green will be well tmpped. This will be
an admirable one. Eliot hole, with an ac
curato tej necessary In order to hold the
green. No. 5 will have the road to the
right of the fairway and generous traps
placed to punish tny kind of a poor shot.
The gretn Is raised at the left, with a
thiee-foot drop beyond.
The sixth holo will follow the old fifth
fairway, but will ba 536 yards long Out
of bounds to the right will be done away
vlth and traps will be well placed all
long the line to tho left. The left ap-
roach Is well guarded and the green Is
ullt up and drops sharply about 12 feet
t the hack. The seventh will have somo

Question of Eligibility of Army and Navy Athletes Will be
Decided Changes in Field Events Likely to be
Made Before Meeting Clbscs.
Middle Atlantic Association representa
tives left town this morning to attend the
annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic
Union of America at tho Waldorf-Astoria
tonight Tho Philadelphia, delegation Is
a strong one, and entertains the hope that
some of tho suggestions about needed
changes In the rules of competition will
rccelvo proper uttentlo'n.
Many Important nitrations are to be de
cided nt tho annual session, and thief
nmong them will bo whether army nnd
navy athletes will bo permitted to com
pote without the formality of registra
tion. At this tlmo tho United States Gov
ernment forbids such registration of Its
sorvlcc men, and sc long ns the A. A. U.
turns a deaf ear to tho suggestions which
would right the matter, so long will dif
ficulties arlso over dual club contests. It
will ho recalled that a New York club's
swimming team competed against the
middles not so long ago, nnd tho regis
tered men were suspended until tho wholo
matter was stralghtoned out. Ono gortl
reason for waiving tho registration rulo
Is this Illustration.
Several radical amendments to tho con
stitution havo been offered by tho vari
ous divisions of the A. A. U., and some
warm debutes aro likely to be heard.
Will tho IG-pound shot-put event bo
abolished? That Is another Interesting
question to bo settled. Somo of the dele

"LEO"HOU0KT0
MEET WAGNER IN
LANCASTER RING
Fight Will Take Place To
night Hard Battle is Pre
dicted by Followers of
Wilkes-Barre Boy.
Leo Houck will attempt to redeem him
self tonight beforo the fans of his homo
town, Lancaster, Pa., when he meets
"Kid" Wagner In a scheduled six-round
bout. While It is generally admitted that
Houck Is a better man than "Young"
Ahcarn, the Brooklyn dancing master, by
whom ho was beaten on Saturday night
at the National A. C, there was no doubt
nbout tho fact he was clearly outpointed
by his less famous rival.
"Kid" Wagner, Houck's opponent to
night, will bo an exceedingly hard prop
osition. Houck Is not in the best con
dition nt present, despite tho fact that
ho haa been playing footbnll In Lancas
ter for somo tlmo. He 'has been holding
down tho fullback position slnco ho has
broken Into rugby ranks. However, he
has not been doing enough ring work
lately, nnd that partly accounts for his
comparatively poor showing against
"Young" Ahcarn.
In his present condition, Houck Is apt to
be pushed to tho limit to beat Wngner.
Tho "Kid" is a rangy, shifty boxer, who
is equally clever with his right or loft
hand. In tho ring it Is dinicult to tell
by his position whether he is left handed
or right handed, for ho Is constantly shift
ing to get his opponent off his guard and
compel him to make a false lead. Fur
thermore, Wagner is a hard hitter, ns
many of his recent opponents can testify.
He swings well with both hands and Is
quick at taking advantage of any lapse
of defense on the part of tho man oppo
site him In the ring. Wagner halls froim

Thousands of America's athletes will anxious
ly await the announcement of the result of
the annual meeting of the National Amateur
Athletic Union scheduled today at the Waldorf
Astoria, New York city. From present ac
counts the Besslon will be one of the liveliest
In the history of the organization. We usually
very peaceful folk will have our fingers In
the pie, as the Mlddlo Atlantic Association
official have a good many suggestions to
offer.

series of nine consecutive losses to Anjever.
What sweet revenge,
Princeton's famed fighting spirit never shewed
to better advantage than in tha Yale game
on Saturday. Apparently hopelessly beatea. Ita

game by hammering away at the Blue wltb a
