AID OF HALLOWEEN SPOOKS
ONLY HOPE OF MICHIGAN
Yost's Team on Intimate Terms With Goblins and
! Ring Lardner Believes Harvard Eleven Will
I' Be Treated to a Surprise by Wolverines.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct 31. Harvard
and Michigan await the whittle. That,
I believe, Is the proper nay to stnrt
a Saturday morning football story. Not
only does It (five the heatl writers a val
uable hint, but It also describes the situa
tion so clearly that no reader can so
wrong; that Is, no reader with an ounce
of Intelligence. A boob might gather
that a factory whistle was what they were
awaiting, but your normal man with a
normal brain knows at once that the one
referred to was Mr. Lnngford's.
Twenty-live thousand people will have
paid admission Into the stadium before
the whistle blows, If the Harvard Ath
letic Association Is a true prophet. Of
the 23,000 approximately 21,000 will be pull
ing for the Crimson. The other 1000 will
yell for the best "team ever developed
In the West" (Joke), and 270 of the 1000
were In Boston last night, making enough
noise for Ave times that number.
Michigan rooters probably know that
Michigan 1b up ngalnst It. If they know
whet I know (cries of "Impossible'") they
are an are of the fact that the signs
favor Harvard. The Crimson Is present
with bigger and better material. Infinitely
more experienced. If the best man In
the Harvard line-up Is disabled, it will
bt a trilling bit of hard luck. If the
best man on the Michigan team Is put
out of It, good night!
THREE KINDS OK FOOTBALL.
I believe Yost, the coach, looks at the
matter thus:
The Michigan team Is capable of play
ing three kinds of football phenomenal,
average and punk. If Michigan plays
phenomenally, that Is, Its very best game
every minute. It has a chance to win. If
Michigan plaji Its natural game, the
game It has p!aed during the greater
part of a season of discouraging acci
dents and upsets, It will lose. And If It
plays punkly, to use the adverb, It will be
swamped, not reilly swamped, either, for
If Harvard sees that it has a cinch it will
undoubtedly save Its best men and Its
best plays for Princeton. .
In other words, in order to win, the
Wolverines must perform better than
they have performed so far this season,
end, with their full strength In the field,
each man must go at top speed from
whistle to whistle. The question Is, Will
they rise to the heights at this most Im
portant point In their careers, or will they
bow to strength that is generally believed
uperior and be content with any one of
a dozen alibis that are theirs"
At Sjracuse a week ago they performed
In a manner that would hae shamed a
team of cows Will they repeat that per
formance, or will the knowledge that this
is their big game stimulate them to a
proficiency hitherto unuttained? Some
language!
It cannot be said that Michigan's best
team will face Harvard's best-for Har
vard, without Brlckley, is not the real
Harvard. Michigan, without Gait and
Whaler, and with Splawn and Hughttt
In poor condition. Is doubtless weaker
than Michigan with Gait and Whalen
and with the other two In form. But
where injuries wreck Michigan's chances
they merely put a crimp In Harvard's,
or do not affect thm at all Harvard
loses encJiley, the greatest point kicker
Ince our own Eckersall, and has to do
his work not one srood kicker of field
goals, but two Mahan and Whitney.
Michigan loses Gait one of the b-st half
backs It ever possessed, and Is forced to
use an end In his stead, without coming
close to filling the hole made by his dis
ability. But, honest to goodne. I have a
hunch that the defeat at Sjracuse and
the other Innumerable etbacks are go
ing to make Michigan (lent todav, and if
the men of Tost do fight, Harvard will get
better practice for the Princeton same
than Its scrub could give It. And. as
stated. If the Wolverines, all of them,
perform up to their highest possibilities,
they mav play a Halloween prank at
fambridge that will not bo appreciated
east of Buffalo.
TOST SHIFTS GUARDS.
Tost has made one more Important
change In the Michigan line-up. He has
shifted tho two sruards. Michael, who has
been at right, will be at left, Watson, who
has been at left, will be at right. You can
see for yourselves how Important It Is.
I was told that It was done to balance
the welorht of the line On the Harvard
nlde Wlthlngton Is slated to start the
Kame at right guard, but if Michigan
gets too rambunctious Pennock will go
In. Pennock Is In condition. I'm told,
but why waste him on Michigan If
Michigan proves a. Joke He knows
enough about football to play It against
T"Je and Harvard without the added ex
perience of a game agalnn our alleged
dubs.
I know better than to ask Tost for a
Just-oefore-th-battle statement. But
somebody requested one, and ha said:
"How do I know what my men are
goh-ir to do out on that field? If they
do snot I want them to they'll win.
But they didn't do It at Syracuse last
Saturday, and I h-v no Idea whether
r not they win do It today."
It wtl be notioed that th avenvr
weights ef the two teams as given out
by th coaches, show a big advantage
for Harvard two-elevenths of a pound.
I took down the weights because It Is
customary and not because It will make
any difference. Moat coaches. I believe,
would rather have an athlete weighing
10) pounds than one tipping the scales
at 30. If the 130 were mostly (and and
brain and the 230 mostly mush. More
over, the said coaches may be shaving
the figures a bit All of us should blbble.
The Michigan squad did not have what
could be termed a day of rest. Tost and
Hugh White, the assistant coach. leo
tured the boys In the morning, and at
Jt o'clock tha were carted to Cambridge
for luncb The team, the coaches and
the scribes ate at the Varsity Club, and
enjoyed the same fare as .he Harvard
bunch got. After eating one of those
Harvard training table raeal I can
plainly see why so many men go out
for the football team at Cambridge. And
that being just lunch, I wish they'd In
vite, me to dinner.
LOST Sim's SHOW UP.
Anyway, Harvard treated Michigan.
nicely. After lunch, the boys were
Bwn the Innumerable points of Inter
est on the campus, and then they were
allowed the use of the stadium for prac
tice. Their lost suits had arrived In
Albany In the morning. The Michigan
, practice was open to the public and
Haughtoa, the Crimson coach, watched
part of It. The work consisted merely
of punting and catching punts, to ac
custom the men to the peculiar actions
of a, wind In the Stadium, and a signal
drill on simple formations Captain
Brlckley appeared on the Ald and was
Introduced to Captain liaynsford Brlck

as cou-J be npicted.

Heston and other rooters from Ann
Arbor reached the stadium and an
nounced that the rest of the 170 were
seeing Boston. The special came In at
1 o'clock, half nn hour ahead of time,
mid the arrivals had to wait for the
reception committee. The parade was
finally started, with the Michigan band
at Its head, and the Boston downtown
dlstilct had a treat. After marching
through the principal streets, the gang
went to Its headquarters, at the Cop
ley PlHaa.
A mass-meeting was held there last
night, and piercing Michigan yells, given
ever and anon till midnight, shook tho
surprised walls of the public library and
Trinity Church, nearby. Mr. Yost, who
was down on the program as a speaker
did not nppear. Nevertheless, ho made n
speech with his plajers as nudleuce. Tim
athletes, gathered In the parlor of their
hotel, listened to his well chosen words
for upward of an hour, and then retired
to dream about them. If the plajers did
succeed In reaching the land of dreams,
they probably had something on their
boss, who doesn't sleep the night before
n game like this.
"King" Colo was among those who came
on with the Ann Arbor bunch. "King"
had been assigned to scouting duty nt
tho Ithaca, but begged off.
"I'd have dl-Jd of suspense there," he
said.
Bartelme, the director, also arrived on
the special, which consisted of 13 coaches,
rot including Yost, Baird, White and Cole.
Personal Touches in Sports
LIMERICK
There was a young man of St. Paul,
Who starred In a game of football;
ITe was trained to the minute,
Tho others weren't In It.
Yet, he
broke three of his less,
a half cross of his ribs,
split nine of his kneecaps, and
bungled that game so his team
Couldn't win it
Not long ago a friend of ours remarked that
the English sportsmen were faint-hearted, and I
that while they were strong physically, had
little courage of the soldier. It was argued
that If the football players of Kngland were
not so Interested In the scramble for money a
great armj i ould be raised. May bo now, when
the real spirit of the English sportsman
Known, this friend wilt agree with us that
there still remslns real red blood In tli elns
of athletes across the sea. Here's about as
convincing an argument as we hae found In
our search of etatlsttis.

Gridiron Gleamings From Leading Colleges
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
Tho preliminary portion of tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania's football schedule
ends with the rama agalnet Bwarthmore
College this afternoon. As soon as It Is
out of the way the nea ana Blue takes
on a team every week of championship
proportions. But this afternoon the big
Quakers, who Inhabit Fianltlin Field, ex
pect to be kept busy enough with the
little Quakers from the suburbs. Head
Conch Brooke has lots of respect for the
team he coached before he came to
Pennsylvania last fall, and he and his
assistants aro the more uneasy because
the Pennsylvania team Is more or less
weakened by the Inability of some of the
veterans to start and the lack of con
dition on the part of others.
There Is every bit as much uncertainty
over the outcome of this game as there
was over the Indian game a week ago.
Hwarthmore Is being coached this year by
Roy Mercer, captain of the Pennsylvania
eleven In 1911 and 1913, and en-captain Fred
Gelg, the old Garnet fullback. The team
hasn't made much of a reputation this
fall, but Its record la hardly any worse
than that of Pennsylvania to date. The
little Quakers think they will surprise
the Itcd and Blue and tho Pennsylvania
coaches are not underestimating them.
Not until the two teams take tho field
will tho Pennsylvania followers know
what Is to be their exact line-up. Neither
last night nor this morning did Georgo
Brooke himself know. After the closo of
practice last night ho Btated that tho line
up would depend solely upon tho con
dition of the men. One thing ho made
perfectly plain, and that was that he
would not risk further Injury to any of
his star players oven to win from Swarth
more. The Michigan game a week hence
Is the Quakers' objective, and while they
don't Intend to lose to Swarthmore they
would choose that rather than sacrifice
a victory over Michigan.
The men over whom the eonches were most
?-0.rled. thl'. rnornln were Tred Vrceland at
halfback and Edward Harris at tackle. Vreo
land h&a not yet recovered from the Injury
to his lee; received In the Navy same two weeks
sko. list has not participated In a ecrlmmaBe
since that game, and ho Is hardly nt for a hard
?amo even now. On account of his speed, de
nslve nblllty and Held Koal tricking ho Is
jirobably the most valuable man In the back
?r."L. ancJ thf coaches want him on edce for
Michigan. 1 or that rnnsnn tlinv maa ,n
start Kockafeller In his place though there
was a chance thRt Vreeland might see a little
service. There wan no uncertainty about the
other members of tho backfleld. Merrell being
slated to start at quarterback, tVray nt half
bnck nnd Tucker nt fullback The coachos In
tend to use Morfet, Avery, Gotwals Rnd Mat
thews In the backfleld, reserving Matthews
until there Is a chance for a goal from lleld.
In the line the chief worrlment vas over the
condition of the tackles. It Is Just as neces
sary to save Harris for the Michigan game as
to save Vreeland. Harris has had a bad knee
since tho Indian game, and while he has been
able to run through signal drill It Is feared
that a further Injury might be serious Last
night the coaches had about decided to give
Townsend a chance at tackle, since both J?or
wald and Hennlng, who havo been filling In
hore, are In much the same condition as Har
ris. The throe centre men. Captain Joumeay.
Dorlras nnd Wltherow. are In rood shape and
co are th ends. Hopkins and urquhart.
Although Merrell Is the coaches' choice to
start the game at quarterback, they will prob
ably give Murdock n chance to pilot the team
His work In the dany scrimmages has been
unusually good, nnd the coaches want him to
gain confidence should It bo necessary to call
on him for tho Michigan game.
The Information about Swarthmore Is scanty
The little Quakers have plaved four games
losing two and winning two. They were beaten
