New York, Oct. 14.—Two months ago football critics were predicting that the big elevens would not meas ure 'Up to the standard this fall, but early game scores have upset the dope. It begins to look now as though all the leading colleges would be rep resented by teams every bit as good as last year’s aggregation. While no team sticks up prominent ly above the othejs, like Harvard’s did last season, the materia,! afeems to be above the average and evenly spread out over the field. I ,am speak ing only of the eastern teams, as 1 haven’t received any reports from the western colleges. With the mate rial so scattered it assures close and hotly contested struggles with an open question as to which team, will carry off top honors. ^e early' games furnished evidence that the teams are going about their development with a more clearly de fined idea of that policy is the best to follow. A season’s work under the new rules has given the coaches and the players more ground to work on. They can make moves with more certainty of results than they could a year ago. Confidence and consisten cy supplants the chaotic and erratic. And not that the rules have been digested harmony will rule In all the camps. Yale probably suffered more than any other team last season tn the inconsistency among the coaches, ea6h and every one of them had a different idea as to how the game should hep layed under the new code. But now Yale is going along on a nfore substantial basis. It is much too early to obtam a^ reliable line on the ultimate strength Qf the teams. Not until the last 01 the month can one get a tru6 line. Only the harder games, the one; that come two or three weeks hence wiu "'ll‘?hera‘S^r“ayr‘S‘tr, long to S satisfactory. Coach In tneg ames piajrcu that accuracy in on- very lucky in bome of the battles in which they were outplayed only to win by a fluke. When the teams meet on October 28, the odds will probably be even although many will wager on. the Cambridge team because ot the jink they hold on the Brownon- ians. On October 21 Brown clashes wltn Pennay and .1 look for them to get revenge for last season’s beating. But on.November 11' Brown and Yale will meet in what should be one of the greatest if not the greatest strug gles of the year. The coaches at New Haven will give their team special preparation for the game in hopes of wiping out the 1910 trimming. Just keep an eye on Brown this season. . Yale is going to have a pretty nifty backfield, Reilly, Phllbln, Spalding. Church and Anderson have also show marked promise. The line men have not shown up so well, but the New Havenitea have an abundance of material to select from. At Princeton the backfield figures to be one of the best the Tigers ever had, but the linesmen like Yal6.need a lot of developing. Big Roper .ip^ high ly pleased with his backfield, howev er. DeWitt, Baker, Pendleton, Saw yer and Hart are five corkers. It is not unlikely that with such wealth of first-class men behind the line that Captain Hart may be shifted to tackle * position. In that case Pendle ton will be the regular fullback. Harvard's line has done all that has been asked of it, to date and behind the line they have a combina tion that .Boston critics proclaim the greatest . Machine ; in the country. Wendell, Frothingham, Morison and Campbell are the men Harvard fol lowers are expecting to create aU kinds, of sensations this fall. Pennsylvania Is having a heap or trouble with a light line but the Jack- BEDIGISIVI Only Squabbling and Atgu *^lkent Will Follow Close oi Season-Yale, Harvard, ani Princeton Re/use to Met Pennsylvania in East. 8.ven More Confusmg Condi tions Exist Among Westen Colleges - MicMgart Out ci Western Conference and Wil not Meet Big Rivals By MONTY. I'g'liSSii ] ■ ! Chicago, Oct. 14.—Some two hundre( gatnes have already been played bl the various college elevens add. In 4 number of cases. It is possible to g^l a list on the relative strength oi different teams. Several weeks frort today the 1911 season Will be hlstoryj and it ought to be possible to say: “This team is eastern champion; that one is western champion; this on is southern champion; that one la th^ champion.” Instead, there will be squabbling argument and idle chatter with nfl chance of rea-ching a decision. There will be no champions. It was ever thus—ever since the in tercollegiate game became .univers^Jlj adopted. ^ Yale, Harvard and Princeton, self-styled “big three” childishly W fust to meet Pennsylvania. As a resi^ the eastern title must remain a mooted question. Arkansas tells Vandeirbilt: “You must play in my yard.” The answer ii “You muS't play in my yard.” The non t play, and the southern supremacy U a thing for debate. But, worse than these instances of babyism is the condition that exlsti between the western conference an4 the University of Michigan. The troub le there began five years ago wltU petty differences over eligibility rule! and culminated in Michigan’s expul Sion from membership in the confer ence has never been patched up, and accordingly Michigan, the generallj acknowledged peer of western cot leges in the gridiron sport, g^t through the season without meetin| any of the bigger conference teams— Minnesota, Chicago or Wisconsin. This is deeply to be regretted, M v/estern football fans could enjoJ nothing mort than a Mlchigan-Chic^Q Michigan-Minnesota or Michigan-Wis consin game. Not even Yale or Ha» vard opposing Michigan could equw any of these combinations as an ao traction In the West. But the big facj in the t:ase is that, if Michigan shouW meet one or two of the teams, ther would be a western champion. There are two ways that Michigan! strength can be compared with th conference teams—both unsatisfacto^ One Is through the scores against Nebraska by Michigan andi Minnesota.
