FOOTDALLGAKES TD Yn's Penn-Qfc&n Bit- t.'3 SO Talked AM stibr;:;3 Fin Wen After Baing Twnty-en Point hind Yala Prinoaton Contest of IHS ttleng High Up In List of NotabU Gridiron Claooioo. Philadelphia football experti are of tba opinion that the last Penu-Mlcbi- an battle was the "greatest football ft me ever played." It wasn't contend ed that the teami that played It were great teams, but that the contest Itself Was great, and no doubt It was. It contained all the elements of great ness, aging the word In a certain sport ing sense, and surely It was oue of the moat eventful of games. It was great to Its excitement, Its One rallies, the spirit shown by the Quakers, Its action and Its stirring finish. Moreover, In the fact that Penn won after being twen ty-one points behind is Just about on- paralleled In football. There are no doubt many opinions of What is the greatest game ever played, and It Is a difficult matter to pin that description to any one gama Few, if sny, have ever aeen a game which waa as great. If constant action, exciting ebb and flow of battle, uncertainty as to the finish and big things by teams and Individuals make greatness, as the Tale-Princeton game of 1805 at Man hattan Held, New York. It waa a vor- tex of Strenuous strife from beginning to end, with both teams doing a lot and with long runs, blocked kicks and touchdowns crowding bard on the heels of 'one another. , The score of that epic conflict was 20 to 10 In favor of lale, and any time there's a game with both sides scoring ' Photo jr Amorloan Prwa AMOOtatlon.

Among oth er things which hiipiH-ned were: Rasa, a Yale end, got the ball on a fumble on Yale's fifty yard line and ran alxty yards for the first touch down. - Yale was busy blocking kicks that autumn afternoon and blocked kicks alwxys make the red blood leap. Charles Chodwlek blocked three, on one of which Yale recovered tbe ball ou I'rincetou's fifteen yard line, and Thome tbe Incomparable Thome, who waa a Coy, a Hrtckley and a Thorpe In the battle went over on the next play tor a touchdown. Tbe acore was 12 to O at the end of the first half, and It looked rosy for Yale, but In tbe second half the Tigers made a mighty brace and threw a see, re Into tbe Biue rauks before tbe atruvgle ended In tbe dark. With Bnnnard and Kelly bucking the line and Princeton never has had a better back than Kelly Princeton rushed tbe ball from the center of tbe field to Tale's ten yard Hue Here Yale brae h1, took the leather on downs and Thome ran a punt from Yale's fifty yard line Princeton's B ft eon. Frora there a toucbdow ii waa made. No goal waa kicked and Yale had sixteen potnts to Princeton's none. Then tbe Tiger awoke. Basnard and Kelly ripped Into the Blue line and Princeton went alxty yards for a towchdown. A few mtnntes later a punt Jervems waa Mocked by Ty ler, the Princeton tackle. The ball carroaied back to Yale's line and la the wild scramble for It Thompson of Prlsceton milled U for a touchdown. Yale now waa only six points ahead, and It waa snybody's game until Jus before the Bntab Thorn e, with as thrtl nng ra m ever waa sees, weal forty-live yards for a touchdown oa a fake kick.

Eastern Football Experts Claim Brown Man Is Leader In Position. The football experts are selecting tb( men for their All Americans. Accord lng to many eastern experts, Georgt Crowther of Brown should be award ed quarterback position on the myth leal team. In the open field running the "Kid," as Crowther is termed b f ' Photo bf American Press AMOclatlon. O BO BOB CBOWTBKB, OLBTBB QUABTBBBACB bis teanflnates, Is easily a rival ol Sprackllng, last year's star in tbe posi tion, whose place he Is filling. His work was the feature of the Har vard game. With little or no support against Harvard, Crowther circled the ends time and agntn for spectacular gains and ran back punts through a field of Crimson tacklers. Occasionally Crowther sought the center of the line, winning his way through for several yards. He also played a grand game against Yale. On the defense Crowther is a sure tackier. He has not missed a possible tackle this year and baa several diffi cult chances to his credit. Crowther weighs only 140 pounds and Is often bandied very roughly by his heavy tacklers, but he Is game to the last and one of the hardest fighters seen on the gridiron this season. HOCKEY SEASON SCHEDULE. Four Tmitii Contest For Amateur Championship of America. With only four clubs iu the competi tive schedule of tbe race for the Ama teur Hockey league championship which Is slated to start Jan. 7, 1913, it is promised that despite the seeming lack of the forces for tbe titular hon ors the series will be productive of as stubborn a schedule as ever contested for the Ice honors.
