Harvard's 1914 football team, which
burled Yale beneath a 36-0 score on Sat-
. tlrday, must bo rated as the most perfect
Machine ever developed In America.
Every man who wore the Crimson was a
finished player on the attack and on the
defense. There was no one-sided devel
' opmento anywhere. Bach man, substitute
as well as regular, fitted lilto the play like
the parts of nn Intricate machine. At the
closo of tha came, with new parts sub
stituted In many places. It was moving
alohrr with as much power and precision
na when It first rolled out on the gridiron.
This eleven played as nearly perfect foot
ball as It Is humanly possible for any
team to play. And In paying trlbuto to
the players wo should not foruet Percy U.
IlnuKhton, the head coach, and the whole
coaching system at Cambridge.
After witnessing this thrilling game, and
from What I know of the Harvard coach
ing system, I should nay that the most
Important factor In Yale's overthrow was
Harvard's defense And when the season
of 1314 Is critically analyzed by tlio lead
ing coaches of the East, particularly at
Yale and Princeton, It Is pretty certain
they will concludo that defense Is the
foundation upon which a good football
team Is built. Harvard taught the rudi
ments of- the gme and defense simulta
neously. After they were mastered It was
. an easy matter to construct an attack
which, developed along old lines, but Im
proving upon them In many particulars,
gave, the Crimson the best team In his
tory, In iomo advance comment on this gimp, the
writer remarked that tlio Issue would un
doubtedly bo determined by Harvard's defense
for Yale's Intricate lateral and forward passing
attack. That. If this could be cheqked con-
lltontly Vnlo'a wholo rirtenne would crumble,
and the Ell would then bo at tile mercy of
Harvard's devouring attack. I have always
felt that It was a fatal mistake for any learn
to overemphasize the forward pass In Its
scheme of attack, as Yale and Princeton did,
for the reason that It Is easier by far to pro
vide a defenso for this play than It Is to
gsin around with It.

YALE DEVEW3PS PAS9INQ.
The retult at New Haven proved this con
tention beyond dispute. Yalo had developed
the passing- frame to a higher stato of perfec
tion than any other team In the country. It
bad beaten and scored touchdowns acalnst
very other team tho Ella had met this season,
except Washington and Jefferson, and It had
scored acalnat even thla team. The play
worked Ilka a charm aaalnat Princeton, nut of
all Yale's opponents. Harvard atone prepared
an adequate defenae for It. Harvard's schema
of defense was scientifically sound, and will
probably do more to reduce the Importance ot
this play as an Important part of football
offenio than anything else.
What Harvard started out to do was to
break up the play by Intercepting the posies,
or preventing Yale men from getting the ball
eafely on the receiving end. Hero Is how
Harvard accomplished thl,. If the ball was
i -iv ell within tho gridiron. Harvard would play
the five centre men on the line of scrimmage.
The ends would play a llttlo out and four or
flvo yards back. Tho four backs were then
spread nut so that tha wholo forwnrd pari
er the field was covered. It the ball were
cloi to tho side lines Harvard would keep
only four msn on tholIne. Then when Yale
started a lateral pass the Harvard end would
run nsrallel with the nlav. and. If possible.
would straight-arm the man carrying the bali
rather than try to tackle, him.
This was done because Harvard knew that
the Yale man would pass tho ball to his mate
. when tackled. A tackle would have taken
another man out of the Harvard defense, and
-would havo bettered the chances ot tho second
man to make his forward pass, lly not tackling
the first msn, but Interfering with hint, the
Harvard ends frequently broke up the pass
altogether, and then. It they could, they
sharply tackled the second man who recolvcd
tho lateral pass.
Legors', in particular; who tried msny of the
Icng passes down the field, made several under
most difficult conditions. Out only once did
. Yale succeed with thl, long pass, and this time
it made 40 yards, nut Harvard eventually
Intercepted a forward pass, and the march
came to an end. Tho complete manner In
-which Harvard covered the field roducsd
Yale's chances to succeed with the forward
pass to about one In 10. Then when we allow
for the advantago Harvard gained In Inter
cepting these passes and taking; the ball away
from Yale, one can't get away from' the con
clusion that the forward pass opposed to such
l defense becomes a boomeranr.

All the local teams of the Eastern
Daakclbnll League will have n rest to
night. The only gamo on the schedule
for this ovenlng Is the contest between
Kcndlng and Trenton, In the latter's
cnge. No mntler what the result of that
gnmo tonight Is, their triple tic for first
Place In the race will be broken. It
may be simply reduced to a tlo between
Jasper and Do Nejl, who, with Heading,
are at the top, but If tho Heading five
can trim the Trenton men, the "Pretzels'
will be In undisputed possession or the
pinnacle position.
The tuple tie In the league race was
tno result of Saturday liln-lit'n nlnv. tin
to that time Jasper wns holding the hon
ors alone. Ilut the Jewels were beaten
nt Heading on Saturday night, TO to 21,
This put these teams on nn ciunl foot
ing, each having then won four games
nnd lost two. Whllo that contest was
being waged Do Nerl was beating Tren
ton at Musical Fund Hall. The Bcore
of thnt game was 26 to 22. At tho end
of the first half of thnt game the visitors
wero leading by tho count of 13 to 10,
but tho brilliant work of Dark, ably
assisted by "Doc" Newman nnd Joe Fo

Predictions came true on tha Harvard-Tale
game, though the overwhelming defeat of the
Bulldog- was rather a great surprise to most
followers of football. The SO to 0 defeat was
tho worst the Yalemen ever suffered, and Is
about the highest tribute to be paid the most
remarkable gridiron machlno that has ever
sported tha Crimson, The Klls were com
pletely crushed, and it certainly was a sad
day for the supporters Tho Tale "bowl,"
about which so much bas been written, was
packed to ita capacity, and another football
record was established when 70,035 persons
witnessed the contest, Yale hasn't a single
pit of solace. If only one touchdown could
navo been made, the bitterness of 4he defeat
might not have been so stinging. Once Yale
inaue a mamincenc .enrort to score, and had
tho ball on Han art's 5-yard line, onlly to
have hopes dsshed to earth when a fumblo
sensational US-yard run for a touchdown. Tills
play was the most remarkable one of the game,
Wh her .jeci.iv, defeat of Yale. Harvard has.
rightfully, undisputed claim to the American
football championship. It plsased the throng
at the cams to see Urlckley In togs, and he.
the greatest of American footbsll plsyers, had
the genuine pleasure ot converting a touch
down Into a goal. He made no attempt at a
Held goal, though his presence in tbs isst
period completely baffled Yale. Fake kick, for
mations were skilfully tried with Urlckley's
aid, though the expected never happened.
Swarthmere and Haverford elevens battled
to a a-8 tie Saturday, and, of course, neither
of the warring band of athletes Is entirely
happy and satisfied. However, each team de
clares the final reckoning next year will be
most satisfying. If the gam In 1013 is one
half so well played there need be no sorrow
on enner siae, regaruieas or tne issue. Sat
urday's came was a thrilling one from every
angle, ana two squids never named more
earnestly. It was rather a singular coincident
that both well-trained messes should hays
scored a field goal la the fourth and Anal
period.

CORNEL!: READY

ITHACA, Nov. in. Tho Cornell football team
Is In splendid physical condition for tho game
with Pennsylvania. The men have completed
their herd preparations nnd firo awaiting the
XI? .to . Atlantic City, which precedes tho
Thanksgiving JJny game. The equad of 27
players will -ieavo here tonight for tho sea
shore, and Tuesday and Wednesday will be
spent ehlclly in recreation. Slgnnl drills will
bo held In tho morning of Tuesday and
After lylns dormant for n. decade, the
spirit of gridiron rivalry which has ex
isted between Swnrthmore and Haver
ford since 1879 has been revived. The
tlo 6nme, three to three, which these
elevens played, on' Saturday wns tho best
thing that could havo happened for the
Interest In the frame In this section. Had
either team won by n, decisive score, or
even by a small count, tho followers
Of tho winning eleven Would have tnken
less Interest in tlio game In the future.
That neither wns nble to win Is accounted
for In a largo mcasuro lo tho over
development of the defense to the exclu
sion ot offense.
In a rudimentary way, Haverford
showed more football knowledge than
tho rjnrnet. This wns shown by the re
pented use of the forward pass by the
Main Liners. But they .were not suffi
ciently skilled In Its nxecutlon to break
down tho defense whicu coocn uicg anu
his assistants had built up nt Swarth
moro. Tho fact that both slovens wero
lacking In a strong versntllo attack
proves thnt much tlmo had been spent
in constructing a good defenso.
It Haverford could havo followed her
forward passing with effective plunging
and end running, Swarthmoro would havo
had to yield ground and a touchdown
would have been Inevitable, On the other
hand. It tho Garnet eleven could hare
opened up the Haverford defense by ef
ficient two of the forward pass, her
plunging gnmo would have given her tho
victory. But both lacked one esscntlnl
clement on tho offense, henco they were
unable to pound the enemy into bud
mlsslon. Throughout the game, tho ball wns largely
btlweerr tho two ,l.l-yar! lines. That each
cloven was able to get within kicking distance
of tho gnnl In the final period, was due mainly
xo tuo wcnKemng ot tne ueicnse miner man
to any surprising strength In the attack.
Bworthmoro's poor showing this season was
tho rosult of too much dependence on an In
dividual Inst season. In lni.l, most of Swarth
morn's power iny In Fred tlelg. The ground
gaining plays were built around him. Ho was
a wonderfully clover nnd powerful performer,
henco with him out of tho line-up this year, the
problem of developing a strong tenm without
a main cog was too much, particularly as the
material wns not at hand. Oleic this bmifom
hns proven thnt ho Is a good conch, but he wns
moro valunblo as a player, because ho was a
great exponent of the game, and as ho had
no nno to tnke his placo this season, his work
as the team's tutor appears far worse than It
really Is.
VILtaNOVA DID tVEL,L.
Taking Vlllanova'n season oa a whole, the
tenm did well. Tho scoreless tie on Saturday
with Muhlenberg was somewhat disappointing,
but tho Allcntown boys proved themselves
northy opponents, and It was their strength,
moro than Vlllnnova'a weakness, which pre
vented tho latter from even making a score.
Any team which can Play sufficiently good
football to hold I-ohtglt to 14-3 score and
Lafayette to In points Is a good machine.
Muhlenberr? did not appear nearly as stronz
ngnlnst tho South Ilcthlchem and Knston
clovcns ns VUlannva. Naturally, comparative
scores are not conclusive for basing any kind
of calculations on relative strength. At the
snmo time. Lafayette and Lehigh dofcatcd
Muhlenberg far morn decisively and with much
greater easo than they did vlllanova.

ti-hih would reflect credit on any institution,
n the country. Individually this eleven wail
superior to the Lafayette team by a far
Siater ral to than the score of the game. 1. ..
fmllcateJ, ' Add to, thl. Individual prowess
good tenm work and you have a team JvhlcB
SrfinnVr should defeat Lafayette's wenkento
eleven by five or six touchdowns.
Hut Lehigh did not win by five or six touch
downs, much to the surprise of many follow
ers. Hho won by one touchdown and n. tleW
goal. The persistent stand rnKtehytlwhtUr'
ette tenm on the defense and its brilliant at
tack In the final period of the game Saturday
was wonderful, considering tho material
Coach Croweil hsd to work on. and for this
reason tho bulk of tho credit for that splendid
showing should go to the coach.
When nconch begins the season with cer
tain men on his eligible list he naturally maps
out his season's work with tho Idea that those
men will be prepared to do their best work
for him. Ily somo unfortunate trick of fata
seven of tho Lafayette varsity men were in
capacitated by typhoid fever. This made It
necessary for Croweil to Jump In after the
season had gotten well under way and de
velop new men for tho vacant positions. The
task wns a colossal one. but It was met by a
man with a colossal football brnln nnd ons
who Is neither unduly discouraged by adverse
circumstances, nor unsecmmgiy eiaiea oy suc
cess. HVEUY MAN IN PLAT.
Like Glenn Warner, the Carlisle Indian
roach, Croweil believes thnt every man on tho
n-1,1 itmitii i,a In verv ntav on the offense.
That Is one of the many sound football Ideas
which has brought him success, Warner has
said that Ifi tho opponent Is fooled by a trick
play, the effectiveness will be nulled unless
the runner Is protected. Croweil has followed
this same plan. He has a largo "repertoire"
ot bewildering plays which he has taught the
Lafayette tenm and It wns noticeable In the
Lehigh game thnt no matter how far the
Ilrown and White might be thrown off Its
guard by a deceptive play, the Lafayette run
ner was always well protected with Inter
ference. Croweil has taught his men two Important
things whnt to do and how to do It. There
nre mnny coaches In the country who waste
valuablo tlmo with their teams by dcllvcrlnj
blackboard tnlks. but who fall to tench the
men how to bundle themselves on the field In
the execution of plays which have been thus
graphically explained. The blackboard system
Is all right as far as It goes, but players can
not be taught football by this method alone.
Tho field Is one of tho best-known places to
teach football fundamentals, for It is there
that the games are generally played. Croweil,
having noted the fact some time ago that
games were played on the Held, drills his mtn
there, nnd thanks to this, plus his abundant
and sound technical knowledge of the game,
he has proved himself ons ot the greatest of
the country's coaches.
