Coach Gammons of Brown, whose team
has been beaten by both Harvard and
Vale says the outcome of the Harvard
Yale battle is one of delightful uncer-
tainty. He doesn't think Harvard has
anything worse than an even chance and
says nobody but a rabid partisan can
prophesy anything but a close and hard
fought game. In the backf1eld, he says,
the Crimson attack seemed more con-
certed and therefore more powerful than
yale's. the Harvard players Showing:
marked ability in gathering about the
was more varied. more individual, brill
liant at times and easier to solve.
On the ends he thinks Yale has a slight
advantage. The Harvard ends did not
have the finish and brilliancy of the Yale
ends. Harvard is a good deal stronger
at tackles in the opinion of Mr. Gam
mons, and ought TO be more so when
Mckay gets into the line in Hoopers
place. He rates the Yale center trio as
better than Harvard's. although Whiting
ton is more active and gets around more
than Cooney. Coy and Philbin were es-
pecially brilliant against Brown, and
Coy's rishes irresistible.
Mr. GammOns' comments anent Coy
are interesting in view of he'varying re-
ports OF Coys form since he returned to
the fray after his operation. There are
some who think he never has recovered
his old-time form, and In the Brown
game according to some observers, he
was pretty well blown toward the end.
Gamrnons regards Minot the equal OF Coy
as a line plunger, but says Coy is better
than anybody on the Harvard team as a
punter.
