The Harvard backs were bothered Il good
deal by the lack of definite background
for the ball when it came to catching
punts. and they failed to shine In that de-

the worst offender, but he played good
game on the offence, and, when II is con-
sidered that he is only substitute for
Corbett, did all that should have been ex-
pected.
Harvard did little in the way of reveal

times and for considerable gain on each
occasion. but that is getting TO be an old

Harvard showed tremendous power and a
degree of offensive and defensive strength
in the game with West Point on Saturday
which came to such tragic end. that must
have been a revelation to the scouts from
Yale who attended the ill-starred contest.
In ability TO drive through the powerful
defence of the Cadets. something that Yale
had been unable to do for more than few
yards at a time. and In sheer ability to ad-
vance the ball bv means of straight foot
ball. the Harvard eleven proved its class
and showed itself formidable beyond any
doubt
The Harvard line was invincble on the
defence. 1t was swift and relentless in its
powerful breaking up Of Army attempts to
gain between the ends and 1t gave excellent
support to its own backs when they had
the ball. opening up big holes and helping
the runner splendidly. The ends covered
kicks in fine style. tackled with deadly
precision, and solved almost every attempt
of the Army backs to circle them. although
Dean did get away and around Houston
several times. with fine interference to help
him. on a fake kick formation.
One point will probably be dwelt upon by
the Harvard coaches this week. Houston
and Mckay should learn to take up their
positions properly in lining up. Both were
offside before the ball was put in play sew
eral times on Saturday. and Harvard w
penalized several times, after repeate1
warnings, under the rule. This is minor
defect. but one that requires speedy cor
rection.
The back field excited a good deal of ad-
miration from the critics. Minot showed
himself as remarkably consistent and
able ground gamer, one who could be
counted upon for a gain almost every time
he received the bail. O'Flaherty ran the
team brilliantly. and showed himself to be

once more what a boon the new rules

In the ola days Yale, Harvard, Princeton

been coming along slowly and which is
quite likely TO find itself by the time IT

TO arouse the men to greater efforts. Will

The games on Saturday revealed strength
where il was unexpected. weakness where
Il was suspected and a good deal generally
about some elevens that have kept under
cover in previous games Michigan and
Pennsylvania. in beating the Syracuse and
Carlisle elevens by wide margins, gave
promise of turning out splendid teams. and
Harvard continued the record of the whole
season by doing all that was asked of the
team at West Point. Yale had no real test
in the Amherst team, and the coaches at
New Haven must be lamenting the uneX-
pected weakness of the opposing teams in
the last two games Cornells defeat by
Williams was a yindication Of the real
strength Of the Massachusetts eleven after
its good showing against Harvard. II is

its two defeats already sustained, but there
is probably more strength at Ithaca than
has been revealed. Princeton found an i'm

but did not pull together long enough 10
rush the ball over the line once, which was
better than the record against Lafayette
The attack was still discouragingly spas

The disgraceful scene on Franklin Field

umpire in the game between Pennsylvania
and Carlisle, was struck in the face by
Waseuka, an Indian player who had been
ordered from the game. calls for decided
action Of some sort. | am told that Wa
seuka has offended In this way before, and
that he has been punished for rough work
more than once. Certainly such behavior
on the field can work incalculable harm 10
the game, and should be sternly repressed.
The death of Byrne. the Army tackle,
casts gloom over the whole season, and is
deeply 10 be deplOred from every point of
view, Tragic as is the accident however,
Z, should not be allowed to do permanent
harm TO the game. To the family of the
dead cadet, to his team mates and fellow
cadets and TO the members Of the Harvard
eleven the deepest sympathy will go out
from every man who ever played the game,
but football does not seem TO have been
primarily 70 blame. II was one of those
tragic occurrences that may come in any
game or at any moment. through some
apparently trifi!ng mishap.
IL is safe wager that the Carlisle
Indians have played their last game with
Pennsylvania. That scene at Franklin
Field on Saturday will rankle for many
days There il absolutely no excuse for the
man who attacks an official in game sup
