But it's true at reason why the Tlgi i hould not make this one of their banner years In athletics. The line, it is true, contains some light men, but are shifty and hard players, who, as a rule, in the style of game nowp played, make the better men.

6eaX'stiW tyetter fullback than McOormlck npr a handler back than Harlan and few have ever equaled Dillon in the position of quarterback. Princeton Is -working along as though her season had been most disastrous and the players have scarcely had the opportunity to believe they are good. It la this feeling which the coaches are fighting to keep down, this overconfldence, and if they Bucceed, then Princeton will rank well up In the season's play. At Yale the season to date has not been as encouraging as might be the case. There was lacking in the West Point game all of the old dash and Are that the 1906 team possessed at this time of the season and as a result It was a disappointment to the thousands of Yale men who viewed the affair.

Jones, at quarterback, was not In hie best form and there was little spirited team work at any stage of the contest. There was much to aid the coaches In their work from now on until the Princeton game, for Princeton's splendid showing and their poor work should be all that is needed to spur the candidates on to great efforts. In Fullback Coy Yale hasx the find of the year, for this youngster possesses every attribute of a great football player. He Is strong, heady, heavy and fast. Hls work in utw uyeu is uiuueuii ta.uu mo line iuiir-.

Ing is hard and sure. He Is about the beet punter on the squad and can catch punts with surety. It is seldom that such a valuable player Is found on a varsity team in his first year and Yale Is fortunate In having someone for this Important place who plays like a veteran. Yale has much work to accomplish and Yale la able to do it. Harvard won from the Navy by one score which was much like a gift from the latter team, but nevertheless a victory was all the Crimson sought.

They have been overburdened with good material and most of the coaches' attention has, of force, been directed into finding the best men for the positions and this has been accomplished at a slight sacrifice to team play and the development of new playe. The Crimson eleven Is Just beginning to find itself and when she does, look out for a powerful fighting machine. It has been so long since Harvard has done anything in football that it seems about her year. She possesses splendid assistant coaches In Daly and Cutts, men able to get the best out of backfleld or line material, and they will from now on follow out a policy similar to the other elevens, that is, weld together a team and work at new plays. Cornell's loss to Pennsylvania State, though a big disappointment, came none too soon, as it brought to light some vita! faults In the Ithacans play.

If were" far -better that State should find out her faults than Princeton or Pennsylvania and the defeat will serve as a tonic for both coaches and players. There was fumbling everywhere and it will have to be eradicated before the team can hope to do much under the rules as they now exist. I BASKETBALL.

THE IMPROVEMENT Dredged Out Without Incurring (By Sol The football season has advanced to that stage where It Is possible to get a line on the larger teams, for each, has reached a high point In individual performances and; from now on the efforts of the coaches will be towards putlding up team work and perfecting new formations and plays. Greater attention will be given to these matters- than to the work of the Individuals or to fundamentals, though In punting and catching the practice will be continued dally. In the games played to date it would seem from the scores and from all other considerations that Pennsylvania and Princeton are well In the lead In the East and that Michigan Is developing an eleven worthy of her In the West.

This belief is firmly held when one casts a glance over the situation as it developed a week ago. Princeton's overwhelming victory over Washington and Jefferson, a by no means weak team, and Pennsylvania's clean win over Brown, perhaps the fastest eleven in the East at that time, were matters to convince the most sceptical, whereas Tale's play against West Point was poor and Harvard managed to win out from the Navy by reason of some misdeeds on the latter's part. Cornell's defeat at the hands of State CoLlege was deserved when one keeps In mind the ragged work of her backs in handling the ball as well as punts and forward passes. Indeed there has seldom been a season when the surprises were greater in the big teams' games than was the case when all of these affairs were played. The most encouraging part of the season's performances was the showings made by Pennsylvania and Michigan, for It assures a splendid and interesting game at Ann Arbor when the two meet In thein great intersectlonal affair upon Nov.

M. Last year the contest lost much of Its Interest by reason of the mid-season slump of Pennsylvania and the known weakness of Michigan, though the game nevertheless proved a good one. The West was not satisfied with the result as drawing a conclusion between the two sections of play and this year Its opportunity seems in a fair way to be appeased, for never has "Hurry Up" Yost developed a better rueh line, having as ita pivot Schultz, a center rush of the greatest magnitude. Besides this line he has the material for a fast backfleld and he Is at work perfecting his team work and plays in order to meet Pennsylvania with a team as versatile in attack as are the Quakers. Already Yost has used the new style of play with success, and his eleven, having gained confidence In Itself In this connection.

Is likely to make rapid advances from now on. Pennsylvania's play against Brown, which game she won 11 to 0, was a big reversal over any form she has exhibited this fail and It gave theRed and Blue authorities reason to hope for the future success of the season. Until the Brown game was played, few of the men had evinced any Interest In football and as a result the most listless and uninteresting work had been apparent. When it became known to the players that they faced so critical a situation as a thorough beating at the hands of Brown unless the foimer fighting spirit of her teams was put into their play, they got together for the contest In splendid style and' won out by reason of their good team work. The game did much to encourage the men and on the whole meant much for the future.

Pennsylvania Bhowed a knowledge of the forward pass and on-side kick far In advance of anything she exhibited during the 1906 season, much to the elation and surprise of her supporters. It is doubtful If any of the larger elevens have gone so far in this department of the game with the one exception of Princeton. At Princeton the same good work was continued that marked all of her previous play, when she beat Washington and Jefferson by a large total. It was a variety and bewildering attack that Dillon, her quarterback, let loose, sufficient to outdo any of the so-called smaller college elevens, and there is no of the River From Hamburg to GENESEO.
