t 6 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 29. 1891. FOOTBALLAND WAR. Tactics That Win in the College Contest Will Bring Success in the Deadlier Game. TEAM WORK AND THE FORMATION. Tale's Wedge Is as Old as the Frankish TVars and Has Been a Standbj With Great Generals. EUNN1XG THE EXD IS FLANKING. 1 Etriling rarallel Drawn by the Military Inrtrnc tira at the CniTersity. In blocking out his course of lectures at Tale University two years ago it occurred to C. A. L. Totten, of the United States Array, to use the champion game of the university as a means of illustrating the art of war. The success of this novel idea led the Matt and Express, of New York, to ask Lieutenant -Totten to report the Yale Princeton Thanksgiving game from the milito-scientific standpoint. In his report of the game he deals first with football in general as follows: I have seen in its play and diagrams the exact counterpart of the deadlier game which is my own profession. It has there fore struck me rather to discuss the peneral question of football and the art ol war, than in any special degree to make believe that I have technical knowledge in the premise I have used as a pat and patent illustration. The Ideal Game for Soulier. To me all this is well in keeping with the Zeitgeist of the age, for the spirit of our decade is certainly" military in a marked andtrrouinc degree. Football is the ideal game for soldiers. Upon its exciting field every one of the battle problems which concern the plaus of generals and troop leaders find their perlect counterpart. It was no doubt a latent appreciation ot tlm fact, quite as much as its fitness as a test of soldiery dash and courage, that led to its favor at the two ncademier and now that it has been fairly adopted it is time to recog nize and materialize its military features. Strategy, or the art of war, is concerned in the what, the why, the when and the how: it is the science of generals, as its root implies; it has to consider 7ones of war, ob jective or strategic points, lines of opera tions, of communication, of retreat, bases of operation, depots of supplies, etc. Jlost all ot thcc terms hae beer, so fully incorpor ated into current literature, our heirloom from the four veir war of the past genera tion, that I take it for granted most Ameri cans understand them intuitively; at any rate, a football field contains the whole of them. For instance the blue goal is the primary base of YaleV operations; all others are secondarv and accidental, as we say in military parlance. The objective or strate gic point is the black and yellow, or the crimson goal, where fly the colors of the rival team. Yale's depot of supplies is the blue pavilion, with the medical chest, supernumeraries material and extras. The Simile Complete to Detail. The lines of communication are those taken by the ball Irom the snap-back to the players. Of course, the absolute line is lrom goal to goal, while accidental ones are determined bv each special play. The three zones are right, left and center, as in war; the whole theater is bounded by neutral territory, and the game itself is governed by miraic rules so similar to those of war that they are its absolute counterparts. A good football plaver will make a good soldier, and an able captain of any ot our famous elevens will make an able captain in our common alma mater's day of need. But the comparison goes larther, even into particulars. Our books upon the art of war are based upon set conditions. In practice, that is, in actual campaigning, they are never met, but their modifications are," The principles are only laid down. The relation between the textbook and the fact is exactly what would be introduced into football by requiring the teams to line tip and tussle upon purposely difficult but not impracticable field?. Take for instance the following diagram: It puts a new phase upon football, and thus reveals at once its value as an educator lor soldiers. I'laj ed upon such a field, wherein that dominant lactor, topography, m,ust be con sidered, the game would receive no newer application than must enter into the con sideration of a General upon each new bat tlefield, and the scrimmage in the latter case k ould rnerelv be more deadly, with success alone for referee. l'amlamental Mavlms of War.

It is in "the 12 orders of tattle," how ever, that we find the closest parallel, for they severally obtain upon the football oval quite as certainly as on the deadlier field of later years. An "order" of battle differs from "a "line" of battle; there are three "lines," but only ope "order." Thus the football teams line up in the simplest order of battle; the rushers are in the first "line;" the half-backs form the "second," or "sup ports," and the full-back is the "third" line, or the "reserve." This is the habitual order just before a scrimmage, the ball not having been put into plav. It illustrates the geometry of the parallel order, as shown. in the well-known diagram: o o o o et e O o o o o But the very instant succeeding the snap back, the whole matter alters, and anyone of the higher orders oo0qpoo SasSE ( O tably result.

Here we have it in a military diagram: c o o o o o o o O Q Q e c The battle begins; A moves to A, and the battle ends, for B must retire! ) sPi a Z "W In the famous "wedge" we recognize a familiar order to the ancients. It was used by the Komans against the Franks at Caslin 533 A. D. It is now known as the "order echeloned on the cen ter." It was practically, from the football stand point, Xapoleon's tac GO O O POO c o o o tics at Austerlitz, that is, he rammed the cen ter, which was weak, and rolled the flanks apsrt. But the best and most reasonable method of attacking a strong and contigu ous line of battle is the combined attack on center and one Sank. Tig. S. It was successfully employed by Xapoleon at Wagrain and Ligny, and was partlallv -uccesfful at Brodlno. Ho attempted. It at Waterloo, liut hi star had set. It is a, favorite play upon the foot- ball oval, and is represented by . Tig. 9. strong, heavy rushers along the line from center to flank. Into which the half and full backs press. 'Tix. 10. This enables a flank wedare to-be formed and the ball to go with It: or else, botter, to I escupc ul uue ine arounu iuo uuuiv, ouu seet the Boahor.flcallv.itsuccessfully holds the selected flank while the ball is being carried around it. The Zone, of the Field. It is manifest that both in war and foot ball the offensive motif which leads to a plan o o Q Fig. 10. or -order of battle depends considerably upon the zone of the field in which tho con tention occurs. In war we mav dispose our teams anew In each battle. While tnls is not done in football, it might be advantage ous to "line up" differently upon eachruh line. This wonld certainly confuse the opponents, nnd with a strong general team would be practicable. However, the essen tial difference between war and football, as to principle nnd teaching, is found in the element of topograph3-, and next in import ance in the Independence of tho fjeneral as to all restrictions. The question of numbers tsapotcnt;onein wT, but even this lurks In an eleven cho.sen fromji large university. It now remains to draw the professional moral fioni the whole matter, without knowing it. we are rapidly becoming a prac tically military people. Our tastes are so because tbey are not forced and because we area nation or independent thinkers and ?erceive the import of the signs about us. his same of football is one of tho best teachers or strategy and tcrand tactics. I believe in military education: 1 would that itwerelar more generalin all of ouvreat schools and universities, but I am not blind to tho fact that .American common sense has aforetime proved ltsel f equal to every emor gencv, and I Jiavo faith that it will acquit itself again and quite as well, or even better (for we ni e a reunited country), in any com ing day of need. Fallowing Up the Successes. With a final word upon the orders of battle we may close; In all of them the disposition must be such a to enable tho supporting parts of the army to follow up the first suc cessful attacks, by advancing immediately, so as to prevent the enemy from executing new arrangements a football platitnde. It Is mnnifctlv impossible to lay down as a general rule which of these orders of battle should be omploved, or that eltuor of them should be exclusively followed throughout the whole of a battle. The question is a new one in every engage ment and must be decided by the Genera: himself, upon the spot, where nil the new conditions may toe duly weighed, the which is also paralleled upoa the lootball field. But, whatever the time adopted by the at tacking partv, it should aim at dislodging the enemy, either by pierelng or turning his line. "If we can conceal our real intention and deceive the enemy respecting tho true point of attack, success will be more cer tain, and, at any rate, more decisive. It should !' observed, moreover, that these different orders are not to be under stood precisely as the geometrical flgnres lepresent them. In the days of Frederick the'Great it was possible to lorm lines Of bat tle almost as regularly as tho figures them selves, but li our day all orders of battle, which jnut be latdout with jrreat accuracy or detail, in obedience to orders given be yond the sphere of action, are very difficult, perhaps impracticable. Two Fundamental Bnles. General principles only can be pre arranged. Hence there result two un doubted truths. First The more simple a decisive ma neuver, the more sure of success will be its execution. Second Sudden maneuvers seasonably executed durinpran engagement or a scrim mage are more likely to succeed than those determined upon at a distance, unless the latter, relating to previous strategic move ments, will bring up columns which are to decide the dav upon these points where tholr presence will secure the expected result. Waterloo is a proof of this last statement. Wellington counted upon the allies, nnd ex pected them to extend his leftflank, and per haps to form perpendicularly on the French right. Ho fought a strictly defensive battle all day, and waited anxiously for this strat egic assistance which would consummate bis plan and turn I: into a defenso-offensive one. Napoleon was equally anxious, and when his artillery and columns failed to make their usual impression, he foresaw the inevitable, and cried loud for night or Grouchy, hopini the latter would arrive in time to secure the threatened right. It was a hopeless case! From the moment when Blucher and Bil low reached the heights upon the Frenoh right, nothing upon earth could have saved Napoleon's army; and that he fought longer was onlv to make defeat less complete and to secure the night for his retreat. 3!ethnd of lh9 Trussians. Throughout the late Franco-Prussian war the Germans, who always represented tho offensive side, employed but one method, plan or "order" of battle. The leading corps always marched straight for the enemy, at tacked at once, deploying to the right and left, and forming1 what was, when snipped of all topography, the simple parallel or containing order. This was the first stage. Their object was to hold or retain the en tire French front. The succeeding corps then prolonged the flanks, generally to the left, n.ore and more, untilat last, completely overlapninsr them, the enemy were en veloped'and turned; This system gave them all the advantages of the straislit and oblinue orders com bined. In every case thelrench were out numbered and outflanked, andat the same time overwhelmed with a preponderance of metal all along their front. The campaign as a whole, up to Sedan, was'solvcd on the same principle. In future modern battles this general method will be the most common, and per haps tho only plan adopted, and so soon as either party secures the end in view, the other will be forced to evacuate the field. The sooner he does this the less decisive will be the victory and the more orderly the retreat. If it is delaved too lone, as by Na poleon at Waterloo, it will more inevitably man e ur ufcome xl iiupeic&tt rouk Generals will prefer hereafter to under take this mode ot battle for several reasons. (n) It promises almost certain victory. (b) It is absolutely simple in its concep tion. (cj It offers a basis upon which to make new and different dispositions upon the field itself, if suggested by topography or circumstances; (d) And although its "consequences" are not tactically so great as those which follow a defeat at 'the center, the suretv of Its strategic ones is akin to the business princi ple of "quick sales and mall profits, for caih." Now, as It is well known, this is the whole gist of experience gained upon tho football oval- It is nillltarv, it was von Moltke's se cret, and it was first American! licit the Xonngstowns.

TELEOItAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 New Haven, Nov. 28. For the first time in several years the Yale and Harvard freshmen have played football, and Yale has won by a score of 22 to 0. The weather was cold, and the wind swept across the field often bearing rain and occasional snow flakes, chilling the 2,500 spectators, many of whom left at the end of the first half. Yale presented a team made up largely ot university players, for Sanford was at left guard, while Hinkcy was in his old place at left end. Stillman, Messier, Dyer and Kichards were university subs. Yale -had the ball at the start of the game and with concentrated work in Harvard's center forced it to her 20-yard line. She loses it on four downs nnd quickly gains it on a fumble by JrcNcar and holds it on Har vard's ten-yard line. Here Harvard braces and finally gains the ball on four downs, rushing it hack to the center of the field and well down into Yale'j territory. Davis was detected holding Messier and the ball went to YiJe. Dver makes 20 yards through the center and Hinkey takes ten around the end. Again Dyer gets around the end and dodging the Harvard backs secures a touchdown. Richards kicked the goal. Five minutes later Hinkey falls on the ball behind Harvard's line after Whitman's fumble. Kichards failed to kick a goal. Score, 10 to 0. The half closed with the ball near Harvard's goal line. When the second half opened Yale again began bncking Harvard's cen ter, gaining slowly until the 25 yard line is reached, when Dyer rushes around the end and gets sjiothec touchdown, from which a goal is kicked. Score, 16 to 0. Hinkey gets another touchdown and Kichards a goal five minutes later, making the score 22 to 0. This ended the scoring. ONE OF THE PBBTTIBST. Tne Cornell Fellows Defeat the Michigan rot by 10 to 0. Chicago, Nov. 28. Cornell defeated Michi gan to-day by a score of 10 to 0 in one of the prettiest football games ever seen in the West. The field was covered with a six-Inch blanket of snow, the air was ley and frosted feet and hands were numerous among the 1,000 spectators that gathered at the National League's bouthside baseball grounds to wit ness the contest. For the size of the crowd the noise from start to finish was prodigious. It w as an In spiring sight when the two elevens tramped through the snow half a foot deep and began tho struggle. Michigan won the toss and took the ball, Cornell taking the north goal. The Cornells won after a good game by 10 toO. Fittsbnrgs Beaten. Saltsbuko, Nov. 28.

To-day he will as usual continue! his task at the Staley Hotel. Judging from his looks Mr. Pavey can eat lots of quail daily for a long time. WE'VE GOT EHBBT. A New Move by 'the Local Easeball Stag nates That Means Well. Benders of The Dispatch yesterday were informed about some important movements in the local baseball club. Thero was lots of truth in w hat wns published yesterday. Al Bnckenberger was in Louisville yes terday in behalt of the Pittsburg club. Ho signed the fatuous pitcher, "Red" Ehret, to pitch here next year, and in doing so, whether he fulfills expectations or not, the directors have demonstrated that they are after the very best of quality. Ehret is a pitcher; that is, he has up to date been a great man. And he is n youngster, as far as basoball players' experience goes. At any rate Ehret will be an attraction in the local team and n good one. The following special was received at this office last evening from Louisville: "Al Buckcnberger came Into town this morning in eaich of material for the Pitts burg club and after several hours found "Red Ehret tho main object of his visit to Louisville. In a hort time he had the lat ter'snameto a Pittshuig Contract. Ehret together with Harry Raymond Jumped his contract with Louisville the middle of last season and Joined the Lincoln club. When that club disbanded, he signed with Sioux City where he finished the season. At heart Elnet Is a grateful ballplayer and he was undoubtedly influenced by Raymond to Jump. Several days ago lie visited Presi dent Stuckey and intimated that he would like to plav again with Louisville, but be had been blacklisted by the Association at tho Chicago meeting. Despite everything that cm be atd against Ehret, he is a good pitcher. Buukenberger, it is thought, was also after Raymond, but failed o sign him. He will leave on the 2.30 train for Cincinnati presumably in search of more players. He declined to itate to your correspondent who he was after." Everything considered The DisrATCH cor rectly intimated yesterday as to local base ball results. Want Bim In Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 28. A dispatch from New Haven, Conn, published tills morning, said that A. A. Stagg, the well-known college athlete, had decided to remain at'Yalo as athletic instructor instead or coming to Chi cago to fill a like position in the new univer sity. Secretary Goodspeed, of the latter institu tion, said to-dnv that he didn't credit the 10 nort as ti ue." Sir.

On.Tues day last Sanders drove her In 23S, beating tho record, but he was satisfied she could do better, and to-day he drove her a square mile In 2:2 beating his world's record three-quarters of a second and leading Bell Bird a full second. She was a little lively In scoring, but when Sanders was given the word she went away in good shape, increas ing her speed aslshe settled down, and went to quarter in 37J seconds. Sanders let her out about then, and she trotted second quarter in 33Jf seconds, going to half in l;13Ji- Third was slower in 37 seconds but she came home at a terrific clip for a year ling.trotting the second half In l:12and going last quarter In 35 seconds. When she went under tho wire strong nnd game in 2:2 greet cheers went up for the little world beating filly. Starr then drove D. SI.

They have extended the time three times, and this is the last period in which the offer holds' good. "All patients being under treatment, or placing themselves un der treatment before January'l, will be at the rate of $5 a month until cured. The cure of catarrh reqntres-' (First.) A patient who has the Judirment, common sense and pntlenco to place himself undor a regular, systematic and scientific course of treatment. (Second.) A physician who understands the treatment of the disease, has special skill, special experience, special npparatus, special remedies nnd gives special rare and attention to this disease,. who Is In fact a genuine specialist. The popular impression that catarrh is Incurable comes from the fact tlint It has only been within recent years that skillful physicians gavo their whole time and-attention to this disease.

Fp.aski.ix, Pa., November 13, 1S9L Drs. Copeland It Hall. Deak Sins My father died from catarrhal complications. I bad been coughing, ach ing, and been converted Into a' catarrhal nuisance for 10 or 15 years, but was not pre pared to learn, till I began .treatment with you, that I had catarrh with the crip of a vise, chronlc.Jn form,, and had attained to the dignity of incipient consumption. I now see what was meant by the night sweats, pain over the eyes, dizzy images dancing betimes before my eyes, a. cough which .for the past year or more had played havoo with my droams at night and my profes sional dnties in the day. I sot so thin that they talked of using me for a skeleton at initiations. I wrote you, began treatment with you, and I Just cannot draw a com parison betweon how I am now and what I was when I began. I sleep well, cannot get enough to eat, feel years younger, and pur sue my professional duties with pleasure. I owe it to you. I do not know what other physicians can do, but I do know that I can recommend you in the treatment of seri ously chronic catarrh. Very Truly Yours, MccQ lMvwi WITHOUT DOUBT. Mrs. W. BT. Blaek Under local and Con stitutional Treatment Combined, Is To Day a Perfectly Well Woman. "I used to think when I read so much of Drs.
