HAKVARD COACH INSTILLS CONFIDENCE IN PLAYERS, WHO CAN SEE NOTHING BUT VICT,

CONFIDENCE IN HAUGHTON
MAKES HARVARD FAVORITE
OVER TIGERS IN BIG GAME
Crimson Backfleld Is Expected to Win Battle To
morrow; Yale Has Poor Material and Will
Have Hard Time With Brown '
STJFREME confident' In Prcy Haughton and hit coaching method has made
Harvard the favorite over Princeton In the annual battle tomorrow. The
Crlmeon expect to win and Ita adherents are giving odds of 10 to 8 on the out
come. Br the time the teams line up for the fray it Is likely that many bets will
be placed at 10 to 7 and probably 10 to C. Juat why Harvard should be audi a
heavy favorite is contrary to the rule of the came. The rush lines are powerful,
with the maximum strength slightly in favor of the Tigers. The backfleld. how
ever, do not compare so well, as the Crimson seems to have a smoother playing
and more effective quartet The game probably will be decided on the work of
the men behind the line, and the team which possesses the better field general will
atand more of suchance to win. And then there Is Itaughton ngnlnst Hush. Percy
rules the favorite.
i Harvard tight now is In the same condition that Tale was In lost year after
poor Tom Bhevlln made the trip from the West to get the eleven in shape. Bhev
lin's personality and magnttlam pulled Old Ell from the depths and enough
spirit was instilled In the players to win from Princeton when the team wa not
accorded a single chance in the world. Harvard also was in the dumps after the
Tufts game, but Instead of growing mdroso and losing Interest in their work, the
men on the team looked forward to the time when Haughton would be back.
"Walt until Percy get here," wns the slogan, and whon Percy DID como better
result were obtained almost Immediately. It la doubtful It Haughton knows
any more football than Leo Leary, but the players THINK he knows more. And
if the player BELIEVE in n coach, it is a difficult mattor to defeat them.
Harvard Backfleld Is Better Than Princeton's
r? IS merely a matter of psychology, and the psychological edge has swung over
to Cambridge. The easy victory over Cornell has done much to restore tho
confidence of the men, and as It como after Haughton took charge, nothing will
convince them that Princeton will not bo handed tho same doso. They realize It
will be a hard battle, but class will tell, and tho Crimson has class sticking out
all over it. The backfleld, which Is looked upon to win the gamo, is much bettor
than any the Tigers can put together. Casey, who can sidestep and wrlgglo
through openings with amazing skill, has no equal on tho Princeton eleven, and
Mlnot and Teacher are excellent running mates. Hurray seems to bo the logical
choice for quarterback on Haughton'a team and Is ono of tho boat field generals
In the country. He can get n lot out of an aggressive set of backs, and with tho
Harvard system at his finger tips, Princeton has a fine chance to bo outguessed at
critical moments. c
As a rule, the Crimson players know more football than their opponents, and
It is this knowledge of the game that has put tho team on tho top of the heap.
The attack always la bewildering, the concealod ball and the constant threat of
the forward pass from kick formation keeping tho opponents guessing as to
where the next play will be directed. A smoothly working backfleld can inflict
considerable damage in on hour of play, and that Is Harvard's best bet. The men
are not heavy by any means. Casoy weighs only 1E6 pounds; Thacher, 172; Mlnot,
ISO, and Murray, 155. This does not look like a powerful line smashing combina
tion, but the men thoroughly know their duties and that Is a big advantage. In
addition to this, Horween, who was Injured two weeks ago, ran through signals
with the varsity and will be avallablo If It becomes necessary to put htm into
the game.
The return of Moore to the Princeton llne-upvwlll help the Tigers considerably
and may. give the backfleld the needed power. Moore, however, always has been
known as a great end runner rather than a lino smasher, and Harvard is excep
tionally strong at stopping end runs. Drlggs and TIbbott ore good men, but they
don't seem to get the drive into tho backfleld which Is sadly needed. Eddy or
Ames cannot compare with the Harvard quarterback, although the former Is very
dangerous at running back punts and in the open field. The Tigers must develop
an offense powerful enough to carry the ball over the Crimson goal line In order ,
to win, but In the games against. Tufts and Dartmouth no such attack was ex
hibited. Dartmouth played the better gamo, and had tho quarterback used any
kind of Judgment Princeton never would havo scored the touchdown. Harvard
looks good In this game and should win.
Material at Yale Poorest In Two Years
YALE ja ready, to give battle to Brown and the New Haven coaches are not
sanguine over the result. Contrary to the glowing reports In the newspapers,
the material at Yale is not as1 good as was first supposed. In fact, it is the poorest
In two years. Larry Bankart, the Colgate coach, said after last Saturday's game
, that he was surprised to see how poorly the line played, and the backfleld was not
up to the usual standard. Only Black and Gait, ho said, oven charged low, and
the Colgate backs slid through in fine style. He says that Brown will give Old
Ell all kinds of trouble, esreclally when it is realized that the Yale coaches are
preparing the team for Princeton on the eighteenth and would sacrifice overy
thing, if necessary. It is possible that Tad Jones will spring an old fashioned line
smashing attack tomorrow, in an effort to wear down the Brunonlans and win
out in the second half.
Pennsylvania will start basketball practice" Monday. That the Red ond Blue
will have a successful season was assured months ago when Lon Jourdet was
appointed coach to succeod hlmBelf. For the first time In years Penn had a real
team during the season of 1915-16. Thls'waa due solely to the excellent work of
Jourdet, who was once himself a star of the Ponn Ave, to say nothing of being
one of the crack ends of the football team. "With a man at the helm of Jourdet'a
athletlo capacity, there Is little more needed for a winner.
It is not difficult to see what is going to happen In the Eastern Basketball League
unless something is done about the constant fouling. The d'oublo official system,
which i in itself a cumbersome arrangement, has proved to be wholly unequal
to the situation. Last night at Nonpareil Hall, when Jasper nosed out DoNerl,
there were sixty-one fouls called, almost a foul every forty seconds. The worst
part of the affair was that there were fully as many more fouls committed as there
were called. The answer seems to be that the officials now engaged are not com
petent to hold the players In check, which, In turn, moans that regular officials
should be hired, even if they do charge a dollar or so more per gamo than the
present performers. '
The Carlisle Indian football team wants games. After their famous fiasco
with the Conshohocken eleven they do not seem desirous of playing In the vicinity
of.Phlladelphla. Yet the management haavrltten here for contests. Tho Indians
should either take what they can get or quit, as they know full well that the
majority of the schools and colleges have long ago made up their schedules.
Vlneomo would like to meet the Redskins on the gridiron, but the offer was refused.
Evidently Carlisle is not as anxious to play as its communications would indicate.
Lehigh and Penn State both are making final efforts to round up their
strongest Une-up. Penn State had an easy time of It last week with Geneva, and
this gamo helped the coaches to save their best men for Lehigh. Coach Keady's
boys lid not have it quite so easy with Muhlenberg, and It was not until the final
quarter that they were able to send over the deciding points. Lehigh has nursed-
Bronr.er ery carefully for this game and expects the former Tome School athlete
to giv a good account of himself.
Jenn is working hard for Dartmouth, and if coaching will turn tho trick the
Red and Blue should win. Bob Folwell has a new attack to spring on the Green
team, but his backfleld men will have to do better If they put it across. On the
other hand, Dartmouth gets her plays off smoothly and has tremondous power
behind the lino attack. At present, the New Englanders are the favorites, but
Penn may show a reversal in form like that in the Ponn State game.

Friday resulted In several Interesting Inci
dents. Besides the appointment of the
ranking committees, the association In

weeks before the dear old public Is shown
the real dope on the results. Neither the
Republicans nor the Democrats will con
cede tho election to the other party. But,
If the two candidates were brought to

a neutral ono so that the touting may be
all the more Jolly, and then let them niblick

Many of the Philadelphia .clubs would be
willing to stage the match.
Wilson, being too proud to fight, would
be easy pickings for Hughes once he was
down. Hughes plays for the flag all the
time and has made many deadly ehots
Wilson, according to Old Guard statisticians,
has seldom holed out during his three years
as holder down of the presidential chair
and, all in all, there seems to be little to
the match. Therefore It sounds fine.
Flashes to the uttermost parts of the
country; "Wilson, one down at the eight

that he had missed a twelve-Inch putt?
A golf match for the title, by all means.

FIVE years ago Bammy White upset the
Haughton system by bagging a loose
ball and leaving with the game a moment
later. In the last four years there have
been no loose balls set adrift by the Har
vard attack, and so the Tigers havo dlscov
ered but little sustenance nlong tho way.
If It was not for Speedy Rush wo would
have very little faith In Princeton's chance
to finish first. But even Rush, minus a
fast, hard running back. Is up against It
with Haughton deploying a Casey and a
Bond.
"Among your Are great ends of all time,"
writes Nassau II. "can't you find room for
Donnelly, Cochran, Henry or Palnftr. of
Princeton? Surely one of these belongs."
As great as each of these Tigers undoubt
edly was who would you drop from
Hlnkey, Shevltn, Kllpatrlck, Campbell and
Snow?
Another Complexity
However, when n Yale man writes In to
suggest that no all-time all-star Backfleld
can be complete without Ted Coy, the de
bate becomes more spirited.
Coy undoubtedly belongs with Jim
Thorpe. This leaves room for one more
halfback Heston or Mahan; step up and
take your pick.

Sir Isn't It about time that football
fans were beginning to realize that Haugh
ton is making stars, not stars making
Haughton? If you will notice, year by
year stars come and go, but Haughton still
puts out a winner with a new star crop
each season. When Casey finishes there
will bs another. Just as there was a Mahan
on hand when Brlckley got through.
