Yale and Harvard Meet jor Title of Cambridge, While

Struggles Are Fifty-Fifty Affairs
ISy ROIIKKT V. MAXWKI.I.
Sport Illtor turning l'uhllr I.rilrrr
(Copirtol't. 1010, bu Public hrtlaer Co.) ,
YJT7TTII the playing of tomorrow'!) games tlio 11)1!) football season by far the
most successful in the history of the sport will prepare for the high dive
and crawl into oblivion. (Inly two more days of football remain, Thanks
giving, hcn the college season will be officially closed and the following
Saturday when the Army nnd Xavy stage their strenuous and highly Inter
esting tilt on the Polo Grounds.
Tomorrow, however, is another big day on the gridiron, but unlike other
Saturdays the dgpe does not figure strongly. Victories nnd defeats will 1)6
received with perfect nonchalance, or words to t'tat effect, because the con
tending teams figure nbout even-Stephen.
The reason for this optimistic view is that only one guiiie of national im
portance is on the billboard. Of course there arc others, but the real, big
act will be staged up in Cambridge, Mass., when Yale and Harvard play for
the championship of Cambridge. That's the only thing left to play for, but
a champion is a champion even if if does come from Cambridge. Therefore,
may the best team win which Is usually the case.
While this terribly exciting struggle is going oil other teams will be tear
ing up their fuvorite gridirons with reckless abandon. Lehigh and Lafayette
have a private grudge to settle in South ltethlehem, l'a., Swarthmore plays
ih) big game with Haverford at Swarthmore, Georgetown clashes with Wash
ington and Lee at Washington, Pittsburgh will practice with Carnegie Tech,
W. and J. has a date with West Virginia Wesleynn and Wes. Virginia tackles
Ohio Wesleynn.
There will be plenty of excitement in the Middle West when Ohio State
plays Illinois in Columbus for the conference title, Chicago takes on Wisconsin
and Michigan will take a chance with Minnesota. Syracuse, fresh from her
victory ovdr Colgate last week, is scheduled to perform in Tiloomington,
Jnd., against the University of Indiana.
0
VTSIDE of that, there's nothing doing in football on Xoicmbcr 22.
Nevertheless, it is an attractive card, because the sectional cham
pionships icill be very interesting, in the home towns. Large crowds
Kill attend and things like that, but nt icas said before, the eyes of the
notion are on the llarrard-Yalc fracas.
Experts Favor Harvard, So Watch Yale
ITUUS is the .first time the tenras hnc met since 101(5, when the Blue put
over an unexpected 0-to-3 victory nnd converted the classic elms on the
campus to n llock of weeping willows. Harvard did not like that w.alloplug
tits least bit and will endeavor to avenge that smear on the record. For
four years before that the Crimson walloped the daylights out of Yale in
lopsided games, the scores ranging from 15 to G to 41 to 0. Therefore, the
sudden reversal in form was not easy to take in 1!UC.
A Tka Anna nn hia tinttln I ntnnlntr lllil null .nmp nf ih dmnrte nt
i rim nninion that Harvard will slide under the wire with a victory. Perhans
this dope is correct, but it is pot strong enough to make one hock the family
jewels or mortgage the old homestead. Harvard has gone through the sea
son without a defeat and Yale has been socked twice, but that docs not
presage another socking.
Harvard breezed through a Vassar schedule, winning tough games from
Bates, Colby, Virginia, Springfield, Tufts and other high-class teams, while
Yale tried the same thing without so much bucccss. Harvard tied Princeton
because of a Princeton mistake and Princeton beat Yale wnen Ynlc erred.
According to Hoyle the Tigers should have defeated Harvard whilo the game
with the Blue should hae resulted in a tie. However, that hort of stuff
makes football interesting and, anyway, whnt's the use of dragging in the
what-would-have-happened dope?
According to our viewpoint Harvard has been extended only once this
year and a ninth-inning rally averted a trimming. It was like a pitcher
closing his eyes in the last innLg, tnking n wild swing nnd knocking the ball
out of the lot with three men on base.
TAIiE, on the other hand,
has discovered on two mimorablc occasions
that it is possible to otr a football game and will not forget that
pair of lessons. The team will not be overconfident tomorrow.
N
Casey the Punch in Harvard Attack
TOW let's do a little figuring on this game. ale was panned last week be
cause her attack was not strong enough to score n touchdown against
Princeton aud some of the spectators insisted the plays were too old to be of
value In 1919. Perhaps those' in the stands imagined such to be the case,
but out on the field tremendous power could be seen in every move.
What probably happened was this: Doctor Sharpe had n system of
offense t,o be used only against Princeton and something else to spring against
Harvard. It's a cinch bet he has a swell aerial attack on tap and this will
be mixed with the line-plunging game used against the Tiger. At that the
line plunges would have been successful if u few forward passes had been
Used, to keep the secondary defense off the line of scrimmage. This will be
(lone tomorrow .
Those who have seen both teams piny say there is little to choose be
tween the rush lines; in fact, Yale seems a trille stronger in that depart
ment. The Blue backfield is bteady and capable of playing a consistent game,
but there are no Eddie Caseys on it.
This Casey person is the big punch in the Harvard attack. He is the
greatest fighting back the Crimson has had since the days of Dan Hurley, nnd
that is saying an armful. His fighting spirit alone kept his team together
in the Princeton game. '
Eddie's strength, however, is in his all-around ability. When he Is be
hind the line the opponents do not know what to expect. He can run, throw
the forward pass and also is one of the niftiest receivers of passes wo have
in the game. In other words, he is almost tho whole team and Yale will
have to watch him closely. If Eddie were out of tho game Harvard would
he weakened CO per cent.
rllll Crimson attack will be powerful, as Percy Haughton has been
on the job for two weeks and arianged it after studying Yale's
defense. The Yale attack also has been doped out to baffle Harvard's
defense, to there you are. The team receiving the well-known
"breaks" tcill come out victorious.
Lehigh and Lafayette in Closing Struggle
T 'EIIIGH and Lafayette will play n very hard game, and this, too, is a
''-''fifty-fifty affair. At the start of tho season Lehigh looked like a sure win-
ttr, but Lafayette lias improved 'wonderfully and evened things up. For
tfcu first time in years tho Eastonlans will go into the game on even terms
V.'ith Ready's men.
Swarthmore and Haverford will stage a tough battle with neither the
fjiVorlte i the early doping, Pittsburgh should hav an easy tjrae with Car
negie Tech,
r Ohio State, with Chick Ilarley runuing on all twelve cylinders, should
&. Illinois and cop the' conference championship.

Germantown traveled over to Camden
last evening to tumble the Skeeters from
first place, but as nobody on the sub
urban team was nt home iJuritiR the
official forty minutes of play, it is sad
to record the fact that Armv ritKer
ald's Ranpt suffered its second defeat of
the season, the first aNo having been
inflicted by Hill Kennedy's new buddies.
The suburbanites all had an olT night
altogether, nnd not n man on the team
even got a fifty-fifty break against his
opponent. I'ven Harry Frnnckic, who
has been scintillating with a brilliant
that leminded one of the time he first
showed here with the famous Utica
ciowd, was decidedly off color.
Tahn Lead at Start
The largest crowd of the season
greeted the eouibntauts as they started
the fray, and after Simiudincer opened
the proceedings with a foul goal, Dave
lverr proceeded to switch the advantage
with a two-pointer. Then it was that
Ocrmnntown flashed its best form of the
veiling. lasting one full minute, during
which Itlack nnd Franckle made field
goals and put their tenm ahead nt fi-2.
Near the end of the period the visi
tors scnied again, the goal going to
Lawrence. All the Skeeters did was to
add eight more, or nine for the entire
half, which ended 1!)-S. Camden only
made one foul goal in the first twenty
minutes, and that by Campbell, simul
taneously with the bell.
Second Half Toor
Both sides were off in the second half
nnd only 21 points were made, 10 by
Camden and 0 by Germantown. After
playing nbout teii minutes, Carney re
lieved Hilly Illack. . The scoring ran
even during the period, first one side
getting a point or two aud then the
other. Of the- goals scored, however,
many of the Camden shots were really
good ones.
All told, the Skeeters registered 13
field goals against 7 for. Germantown,
They went to : Kerr, 4 ; Steele, 3 ;
Campbell 3; Dolin. 2; Dieglinn, 1;
Black, 2; Powell, 2; Franckle, 1 ; Law
tence, 1, and Sirnindlnger, 1. The lat
ter played Steele, and Hoy secured all
his baskets in the first half. The last
time Cy played Hoy the latter was
blanked. The game also marked the re
appearance of Campbell, who has been
out of action with injuries.

Lehigh has one of the lightest teams
In the country, among those with a
proud record, but to offset this it has
speed speed that rolled up an imprcs
sue total without u score by the op"
ponents np to the Pitt game. Davies,
of Pitt, .ruined the record by getting
away .for 'a long run in the dying mo
ments of the last period and then grab
bing a forward pass of Lehigh's for an
other nnd two touchdown',
Pcnli State followed with n crusher
also, but those two games have done
anything but take the heart out of the
Piown and White. The team is looking
to tomorrow. Nothing else back there
on the muddy trail matters if Lafayette
is handed a licking.
Since the State gnme the team has
been climbing 'steadily to the hoped-for
ciest of the season's form. The team is
scheduled for the lightest of work only
this afternoon.
Woik consisted of kicking and a sig
nal drill yesterday. The coaches con
centrated their efforts in perfecting the
varsity in their new formations. The
men ran through the signals with a
smoothness and snap which was the best
seen since the men have been given
the new plays.
Harry Itote appeared on the field to
day, none the worp for the hard bump
received in yesterday's scrimmage. UN
appearance has relieved Coach Kcadv
of a lot of anxiety.
Coach Kcady shifted Siniindinger
back into the nrsity backfield yesterday
in place of lleutzelmau. It looks a-,
if this is the last chnngo and that Keadv
has definitely decided to use Sirnindlnger
in one of the halfback positions at the
start of the game. The rest of the
backfield remained unchanged, with
Herrington nt quarterback, "NVysocki at
fullback aud Savaria halfback.
Light Team
The whole method of play employed
by the Lehigh team this season is care
fully calculated to get the most effective
results out of the rather light team,
which averages only nbout 101 pounds
The guards and tackles are a husk;
quartet, but the remainder of the squad
tip the scales at weights that look like
those of an ordinary high school team,
Arthur Herrington has been holding
down the quarterback berth since his re
turn from the service. He directed the
team play In 1017 and is a capable
quarter despite his scant 130 pounds.
Rote, the former Gettysburg star, has
been giving Herrington a battle for the
qunrterback post, hut will probably be
shifted to halfback. In weight he has
little on Herrington, for he barely lifts
the beam to 135 pounds.
The other member of the regular
backfield is Savaria, the ex-Woonsoeket
High player, whose 5 feet 0 inches and
IfiO pounds arc accompanied by the

AVysoeki at fullback is a real star.
This will be his last jear with the team.
He first came into gridiron prominence
with the A'-bury Park High team. He
is over (I feet tall and weighs 170
pounds, being of the rangy, fast type
of big man.
Around him much of the Lehigh of
fense Is built. He is versatile, can buck
the line, circle the ends, throw tho for
wards und do anything necessary for a
back.
The varsity line averages about 170
pounds. The ends are a light pair.
Laikin on the left wing weighs 100
pounds and hails from the Worcester
Academy. On the other wing is Mike
Wil-on, who gained fame with North
east before he went to Muhlenberg,
where he plajed one year before enlist
ing in the marine corps.
Wilson weighs only 153 pounds, but
rates with the best ends in the country
and has no peers as a snarer of forward
passes.
Strong Tackles
Lehigh is strong in tackles. Joe
RraRna's three years of brilliant per
formances with the Brown and White
were preceded by some preliminary
seasoning at Williston Seminary, Mass.

Pretty near Thanksgiving Day, and I .

Far from where old faces drifted hy;

Time has got a way of drifting fast

Time has got a knack of rushing past
In the stress and tumuli of the fight;

Who can ever say how long ago

Called from all the dreams we'used to know

Ever see those legs? They were both charter members of the original pile-

"Heff had many battles with men as good as he was in other ways, but
those legs of his drove him through or over. What a treat it used to be to'
see him get out to end after the hall was put in play, take care of tackle or
end nnd pull a halfback around the corner. Oh, boy! I've never seen a
