PRINCETON TURNS EYES TOWARD NAVY Game Overshadows All Others That Will Be Played On October 15 TIGERS WON LAST YEAR Georgia Plays Harvard and Dartmouth Will Entertain University of Tennessee By WALTER CAMP. (Special Correspondent The Roanoke (Copyright, 1921, by Roanoke The eyes 'not only of Princeton and Navy men but of football followers in general, will be fixed next Saturday on the contest between the teams of Nassau and the Naval Academy, at Annapolis. This game all the others which will be played on October 15, for it is an early contest between strong teams and prom1seg to furnish a direct line on important future matches, particularly AS to how the navy is progressing toward its main goal, a victory over the army and how Princeton is coming on for its games with Harvard and Yale.

Princeton Won in 1020, Last year Princeton won after a ing the greater variety of aggressivegood fight, 14 on to 0, the Tigers ness. Coach Folwell has been whipping a wealth of material into shape at Annapolis this year in the hope of retrieving that defeat. The Navy has been coming into better shape all the time but Folwell has no men equal to Stanley Keck in the line or Lourle in the back fleld and in view Princeton's latent power as displayed in her games this year, it is doubtful if Annapolis can win. However, the contest against a team that has great variety of attack should counters heavily in the Navy's favor later in the season. Two very interesting intersectional games will played Dartmouth will enter the University of Tennessee and while the latter institution has produced teams that were a surprise to opponents, there is hardly a likelihood that Dartmouth will before be compelled to bow in defeat the Southerners.

FOOTBALL MENTOR EXPLAINS POINTS Sol Metzger Tells Fans How Game Can Be Enjoyed and Strategy Understood CITES HARVARD SYSTEM What is it That Determines Success or Failure of Each Play of Contest? By SOL METZGER Veteran Football Coach of ercent years--and for the Arst time--the football fan has been considered. Certain it is that the numbering of layers was generally adopted in consideration of him. This year there pons been certain that he changes made more in fully the rules in order may understand the play.

But precious little has to familiarize him with its governing rpinciples, For the purpose of doing this very thing, for the purpose of stripping the game of the complexities that do exist In the public mind regarding it, the writer is setting down in this series of weekly articles, of which this football is the is first, a simple story of what about so that the spectator may reap greater measure of pleasure from witnessing a game that always falls to one who knows why the clock ticks. Simple Principles. Fortunately, football lends itself purpose. Stripped of its technical camouflage, np sport is based on more simple principles of common sense, all of which are easily understood by one who has never played the game. Were this not so, those few coaches who have proven successful, although they were never varsity playwhen in college, and those countnumbers of stars of every season, although but mere boys, would be unknown to the sport.

Football is neither intricate, nor complicated, nor beyond the ken of he who follows it. No wizardry has entered into its growth. hus, he wTho cares to follow this game with complete understanding and thus have the greatest enjoyment as a fan, may easily do so, for it is the writer's purpose to interpret for the public in this series. Harvard's System Made Clear. to number players.

The Linesmen. Let an example prove the contention that football is built upon simple, common principles. No one system of play of recent years has been more widely commented upon than that created by Haughton at Harvard. And, as in all systems of play, success rested upon the play of the rush line. is no more of a mystery to the average fan than to a coach that a back cannot move forward unless his rush line clears the way.

Haughton based Harvard's system of rush line play on this principle, but instead of A having anyintricate about the play of his rush lines his plan was simplicity itself. It was nothing more than have his forwards, lined up shoulder to shoulder, charge straight ahead. Openings were not sought for. Haughton believed and rightly, that if the line advanced the backs were bound to. Much has been written of the failure of Harvard to number its players.

clear reason, readily understood, has been the cause, although football writers have been inclined to attribute this stand of the Crimson school to some mysterious and deeply hidden principle of play that might be disclosed were the Harvard players known to the scoute of other teams. Nothing of this sort has been back of the determination of the Cambridge football authorities not Every person will agree that of a group of seven men there will be ditferences in their sped, actions, movements, strength and ability to do any particular act. Now, there are seven men on a rush line. In opening holes, in charging back opponents, there can be no variation to the principle already laid down. Some of these seven can do such a job better than others.

That goes without saying. Spectators at a football game in which Harvard plays will recall the fact that before most running plays the Crimson eleven shifts its linemen about. It will not now be difficult to explain to them the reason why Harvard objects to having its players numbered. It would identify them. This would not permit this eleven to follow its simple plan of attack, a plan that calls for shifting the best of the seven at charging to the point of attack, simply because scouts watching Harvard would then be able to note where a great many plays were to be directed before their start.

So far, Harvard has been able to apply this very simple plan to its attack without its opponents noting it, all because bered. their players have not been I ask, is there anything complicated about all this? Isn't it as simple as the nose on your face? And, let me add, if you strip all football of camouflage you find the same basic principles of common sense back of it. The Principles of the Kick-0f. But let us take up the game step by step ciples 50 for we may best interpret its prinits many fans. The first play of football is the -off.

One team, spread across its 40-yard line, kioks of the ball to its opponent, the members the latter eleven being placed at various points well distributed over that area, the ball can be kicked to. Why this method of placing men preparatory to play? In the case of the team kicking, SO it may be sure to have tracklers reach any point where the ball falls in the least possible time, by thus preventing the ball being returned A run. In the case of the other eleven, so it will be sure to have a man in position to catch the ball wherever it falls. As both teams have latter rights to possession of the ball this equal formation is vital. There are but slight variations to these formations, principles.

all It elevens is follow these simple common sense to do SO. Actions of Teams. Let us next concern ourselves the simple principles governing with the action each team when the kicked. ball is The dominating one of the kicking team is to have the ball kicked as down high into the air as possible and far the field. Hence, those of mud upon which the ball is high placed.

Then, is able to carry it well the field. One other principle governs up the kick-off, used only when the kicking the team knows the several abilities opponents.

That line is not only up the straight by est distance following to the opponent's the shortgoal, but this goal before it he also gets nearer to he being tackled than if ran toward one side or the other. Either of the latter movements gives the tacklers more time in which to reach him. Football Results Yesterday Salem High School, Blacksburg High School, 7. Georgia Tech, 70; Davidson College, 0.

S. M. A's three touchdowns came as the result of the brilliant running of Captain Shorty McMahon and the line plunging of Loppacker, Bauer and Ethers of the Hilltoppers' veteran backfield.

The game ran the gamut of unexpectations, upsets and reversals, a blocked kick and two intercepted passes by V. M. I. and fumbles on each side making it a thrilling contest. The V.

The Maroon eleven, much heavier than the visitors, had an easy time penetrating the Academy defensive works, skirting the and plunging through the line, and in the last period opened up with an effective overhead attack.

After that Roanoke scored in every quarter, doing the heaviest work in the third period when twenty-one points were rolled up. Yost Scores. Fay Yost, halfback on the Maroon eleven, and a Roanoke boy, played a stellar game, scoring a touchdown, carrying the ball for gains, and receiving forward passes in fine style.

Roanoke's College line showed considerable more improvement over last Saturday with the Guilford eleven and Randolph-Macon found it hopeless to try plays against the bulwarks. Once Richardson, of R. M. A. intercepted a' forward pass, running fiftyfive yards before he was bowled over by a Maroon tackler.

He was brought back half this distance, a having stepped out of bounds. Randolph-Macon was unable to cope with the sturdier Salem contingent. They lacked interference for end runs and never got a first down in the four periods. Roanoke College seldom failed to make first down. Flashing Tackling.

Randolph-Macon gave a wonderful exhibition of tackling. The ends were fast on getting down the field, and it seems as though every member of the eleven was unusually keen as an aggressive tackler. Time after time they stopped Maroon men from big gains by cleverly bowling over the runners, cutting them down from behind, or spilling them for losses. The last quarter saw the thrills of the game. Prior to this, Roanoke College, by steady work, rushed the ball from midfield to goal for a touchdown.

Then they opened up with aerial offensives, which were deadly at times. Despite a heavy gale that swept the field and a fall in temperature, there was a goodly sized crowd to witness the exhibition, which was featured by broken-field running and a number of completed passes.
