r TP-TO-DATE football strategy
won the great game for Har-
ward Saturday. And it was
strategy Of the most ticklish sort.
Il was successful, therefore it was
good.
Yer wiebe, at fulback had played n
great game. He had equalled the ia
nous Coy himself in battering at the
! opposing line. HIS work had overcome
the work that Coy was doing for Yale.
Under his driving the Harvard tear:
had marched down TO a point squa"ely
IL front OF the Yale goal posts ana
o less than twenty yards away. Yale was
bracing for last desperate defense OF
tie goal. II was probable that Yale
would have held and taken the ball on
downs. when the mighty Coy would
Z. have kicked ii half way across the grid
iron. 1t was possible mat Harvard
might have ripped and plunged over for
' q touchdowa-but that Was Tar from q
. sGre Thing.
And here came the new football. 10
the Amusement OF the whole crowd the
hig tuilback, sill fresh and strong, was
: called on the ned, and new and more
slightly built player rushed 10 take lis
. place.
= kennard the Hero.
This was Kennard. Probably not FIVE
hundred people in that vast crowd OF
$500 knew that kennard had an eGu-
Gated Toe and was sure as sharp
shooter al kicking goals. But the coach
:, knew 1t, and took the long chance. II
C kennard he'd Jailed TO MAKE good and
kick that goal HauShtons reputation
would have been ruined and Harvard
would have made a touchdown.
=, kennard in his new clean jersey that
hadn't yet been rolled in the dirt,
stepped quickly into position. The sig
nal was given, Instantly the ball shot
line hurled its fighting strength fran

His loot sH.aS forward and the ball
lite. clear 0: ihe fighting line only
yard ahead.
Harvard's men had thrown themselves
ION top OF Yale to hold the Yale men
! down for single second Yale men
: were leapins into the ain like hounds
after a freed wild cat. Half a dozen
long blue erseyed arms shot sky
ward in u vain clutch az IHe flying bali.
tCp II scared Just out of reach. In fact
I'm not entirely sure but that one Yale
man fingers Just touched il. Up went
the bail in an easy graceful curve And
as i; sailed straight over the bar. square,
-ly between the posts, roar went up from
tie .; eatniess Harvard stand that made
the bleachers tremble Yale yelled, but
1t was a feeble whisper beside the JOY
that reigned across the way
Perhaps Kennard didn't play Yer
Wieac game through the rest Of it, but
Che did well enough. ANA he had already
won FOR Harvard. That wasn't known. Of
course, until the very end of the second
half In fact Yale TUoters felt quite
cheerful when the second began win
/ only four points scored against Their
fteam. They We're sure that the old
@ Bulldog luck wouls prevail-that the
j Bulldog would hammer and smash his
way TO victory just as he had always
done. But there was a steel backbone
In that Harvard team after the tire
score made against Yale in seven long
years. Harvard played Yale even all
Through the second right up 10 the
end Of the game. Even the mgtchless
Coy was battered into a da2ed and
weary condition, was fairly tanned. And
after that harvard never was in real
danger
Yale VIII come into line for the new
football next season. To date she has
adhered TO line smashing, an old Vale
traction. Eu, tie new game - win
ner.
