'Rbesc men did wonderful work lucre's no question about that -but the one JJiOng mtia who really maefo it possible to uln the battle evidently has been hi irKotlrn I am referring to KrarA Jlurrcj, serond-strins quarterback, who WcUd that second goal from the Held, and tied the score in the fouith period. Murrey is my candidate for hero honors, if nny arc lo bo distributed. His tjfsk mi not tin easy one when he romped out on the field to replace William - '8n soon after the fourth period had started. Princeton was three points of hind the offense had been plopped on the 'ii yard line, and it was foul to down with eight jiirels to gain. It was almost impossible to rush the baU because of the distance to goiu, and if Yale got it on downs I, ay or Neville would have punted it out of cluiger. Therefore, the only logical thing lo do was to trj for a goal from the field and tie the eorc Couch Hill Iloper called to Murrey and said- Mio in and Lick a goal Muncy rushed on tin from the in id " V Thais all there wa to jt u shoit, U-i-e. order fjdlron reported to tbu referee and took his place ten yard' behind the eentei Can ou imagine the feelings of that young man, if he bad any teclings' Xlo was leading. (! to ". and nil bo had to do was stand behind the scrimmage line, v-hilc r"i,(MHl spectators held their bieath, kick a drop l;ick over the etosa oar and tic the score. lie came into the game "cold, as tlley Bay, and kJie-W eieijtlung dependid on his work. I'erlmps 1'iimeton uever would have another chance to score, so he must make the mot of thi-e opportuuitT. JJOl l$, tl takes a lot of ncric to put mcr a stjiit like that and young Murrey icas there iu a pinch. I ncicr sate a more cool 01 collected athlete on a gridiron than Murrey ichen he reccircd the loll from Mike Callahan. lie made rj of the ball, turned it so the hire teas on the otitude and ktcked it right over the iinier of the bar. Thai drop kirk iron the gam for Princeton and our hat is off to furrcii Drop Kick Good Offensive Weapon JTUIE drop kick is a rvocderful weapon on the attack, but it --elcloui is, uvd. JL- . only as a last resort. Football teams would rather score touchdowns and have six or seven points hung on the scoreboard, bei aue a Icid of three J very uncertain, l-ong ruus for touchdowns after fumbles or Mocked kicks aw very frequent in our great American game, and one of those things will lyipe out the effect of the swellest drop kick you ver saw. ,p In the Yale-Princeton game seven drop kicks were attempted and four lero successful. Jim Hiaden tried two from midfield which failed, and Trimble attempted one. Thoe were not crazy plays, although the oeldi were 300 to 1 nflainst n score. The reason they were tried was bciause the ball wa9 within kicking distance of the goal line, and any sort of a punt would roll over for a . touchback, giving the opponents the ball on the 20-ard line. u Therefore, it was decided to take a wild chance on a goal fiom the field. If-thc ball sailed oer the bar, all well and good; if not, there was a good chance of. its falling short aud no touchback would result. To mr mind it i . . . . ...... . .. ... was very good headwork, and, take tt trom me, two ot tnoe Kicks cam mighty close to going over. r Hut as was said before, the drop kick cldoni is used only as a last ret-oit, oftd this was proved iu the l'ale-Princcton game. Every one of those four jcjals from the field was kicked on the fourth down, with ihc or more yards to'g&In. Here is the record, with the man who kicked, the distance and tho t &oym : a v 1. Strubtng. . .Si yards fourth dutai, nt-c yaids tu n , 2. Dradcn.... Ho yards fourth down, ten to gam 3. Rraden....3o yards fourth down, five to gam 4. Murrey So yards fourth down, eight to gnui Roper Listens to Suggestions fc A NOTHElt hero is W. . Iloper. head coach of Princeton I'.ill had a "rocky row to hoc this season and his Garrison finish was something won dnrful. His team met the best in the countrj in the euily games and nl though defeated twice, came back strong and refused to quit That I.afajettc garnc was close and afterward came the Colgate and West Virginii dlsasteis An ordinary coach would have tossed up the sponge nnd taken the full count with the Harvard and Yale games coming in order, but Iloper is no ordinary coach. Instead, lie worked all the harder, bolstered the weak spots, changed his nttack and took suggestions from other coaches. Ono of Roper'a secrets of success is that he is very broadminded. He realizes he does not know all of the football in the world and will listen to others. He adopted the forward pass, which was used with much success by TVest Virginia, and got away with it against Yale. That was the spread formation play, where the threfr backs lined up one yard behind the line o scrimmage and stood about ten yards outside of right end. The right end afiisoon as the ball was passed, crossed behind his own line to the left end was standing all alone when he received the pass. Iloper also used the quick line up made popular by Glenn Warner In that play the halfback carries the ball and when tackled waits uutil his team mates take their position on the line and then arises slowlj and passes the ball to the man behind the line. i nOPER not only leviscd An attack, but alio framed a icondeiful defense against the Yale system of offense. Flc guessed rinhl ill fH$ 'V, loth instances. Harvard Will Find io Easy Yale rpHEY say that Y'ale is in for u trimming next Saturdaj iu the game " against Harvard, but I cannot sec it that way. I am not predicting a victory for the Blue, or anything like that, because the dopesters have been glaring In hard luck this year. But it must be remembered that Y'ale cannot bo counted out at this early date because the Ell teams havo a habit of coming back and coming back strong. The offense taught by Dr. Al Sbarpe was very sound, only there wasn't enough of it. To the spectators in the stands it probably looked antique, but tin the field it seemed to have many possibilities. It was a sort of a hidden-ball attack, which is nothing more than the split play. Kempton tvould fake the ball to a man on the left side of the line and turn around and hand it to the man on the right. Then, as a change, lie would fake to both nnd carry the ball himself. This play will work, if mixed up properly with forward passes. Last Saturday Yale either was overconfident or forgot the aerial attack. There waa no threat to keep the secondary defense back of the line of scrimmage and as a result, the bnlfbacks rushed in and smeared the line plays. Had Kempton tossed a few passes to keep the defense fHe or ten, yards back, no pne would have kicked against the line attack. Xale has something up "her sleeve for Harvard. Perhaps it is an open, aerial game, which was kept under cover against Princeton. The Crimson has been woefully weak against a forward-passing attack this year and perhaps Doctor Sharpe intends to spring a surprise. There are several good players on the Blue eleven, Kempton standing out despite the critics. Dickins ut tackle is a great player, Jim Braden is the bftt line plunger of the year, Tim Callahan Is a good center and tbo others 1 re of varelty caliber. Harvard will not havo an easy time of It.
