Perhaps this really had nothing to do with the result but the fact remains that the Princeton stalwarts, who merely took off their coats and went to it, lost, six goals to four. For the benefit of those mild souls who complain that the modern game is unduly rough It may bo noted that, in 18S7, It became necessary to persuade the captains of the Yale, Wesleyan, Harvard, Penn and Princeton teams to sln a formal pledge doing away with slugging. Possibly this pledge occasionally slipped the minds Of the young men though because one year later the Job of umpire was created so that the referee might have some or.e to detect rough play and report It to htm. In 1921, when Cornell was scoring 392 points In eight games, Kaw made 15 touchdowns, five against Penn and four against Columbia. Hanson kicked 37 goals after touchdown for the Big Red team that season.

In 18S1 Harvard played four games within eight days, at Montreal, Doston, New York and Cambridge. The Crimson beat Penn, Columbia and Michigan during that time but could get only a tie out of the Canadian affair. Bo McMillin completed 119 of the 170 passes he tossed during tha 1920 season. That same year Weaver, also of Centre, had S3 opportunities to kick the extra point after touchdown. He never missed.
