HARVARD WANTS TO
SHOW NEW STYLE
BEING RESPONSIBLE LARGELY FOR THE NEW CODE,
COACHES ARE ANXIOUS TO DEMONSTRATE
WHAT 1T WILL DO

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-(Special9-
The great football battle between
Yale and Harvard at New Haven on
Saturday will see not only % mole
skin-clad warriors pitted against each
other, but two powerful coaching Sys-
tens that took opposite views when
many OF the conspicuous features OF
the new game passed In review be
fore the rules committee.
Harvard wants TO show the new
game at its best, because II feels In
way responsible for its adoption.
The Crimson's part in the football
legislation OF last spring was sue
cessful effort for the retention OF the
forward pass regulated by conditions
which took advantage OF the prevt-
ously planned 20-yard zone. Percy
Houghton fathered the forward pass
idea, and conceived the plan to make
the 20-yard zone one TX which the
receivers OF forward passes, and In
fact all players, except during run
ming plays, should not body check. OF
in any other way interfere with each
other, except in a bona fide attempt
to get at the ball
With the assistance OF the south
ern and western colleges and OF
Princeton and Pennsylvania, the Har
ward coach succeeded in having his
forward pass. thus governed, ncor'
porated in the rules. And, therefore
II is not TO be wondered at that Har-
ward is keen to play the sort OF foot
ball against Yale that will show
Houghton helped the game when he
finally broke the rules committee
deadlock and got his forward pass
rule into the book.
Yale did not want the forward
pass. and has been trying all season
to develop an attack that would not
require the play. However, 1t Will be
remembered that the pass enabled

any 6elated development along this
line will prevail against the kind OF

cannot be answered now
The supporters OF Harvard expect
to see their team play very radical

Listen TO some Dartmouth esti-

Harvard has the greatest football
team in the country today" said
Capt. Ryan This was our hardest

might. The Harvard team deserves

Head Coach Randall said: There

sesses. never saw a better bunch
OF linesmen from tackle TO tackle in
my life. It showed much power"
Quarterback Ingersol said: "In my
four years Of college football this
years Harvard team is the best
eleven / ever played against"
DR.. John w. Bowler. the former
Dartmouth trainer, said: Harvard
had marvellous football sense. The
acuteness Of the Crimson is marked.

EXPECT
TO REFORM SPORT
Schools Will Endeavor to Elevate All
Forms of Athletic
Activity.

New football, summer baseball for
! collegians, track athletics, basketball
and the advisability Of forming
] leagues of the colleges and universi.
| ties in certain sections of the country
will come up for discussion at the
| fifth annual convention Of the Inter
collegiate Athletic association of the
United States in New York, Dec. %
A proposition to change the name
OF the body TO the National Collegiate
! Athletic association also may be con
| sidered. This is because the in1lu-
] ence of the association has become SO
extended. Seventy-one universities
and colleges, representing over lOO,-
| 600 students, are members Of the body.
II is expected that this number viii
| be increased greatly at the annual con.
yention.
Football is discussed in the circular
issued by Capt Palmer E. Pierce,
president OF the association, In part
as follows: The new football rules
are now undergoing a crucial test on
the gridirons of our college play
grounds. II Is too early TO say, per-
haps. whether or not they succeeded.
II is urged upon all that the new rules
Of play be given fair trial. This
can only be secured by the students
being required TO play under them
strictly. and the officials to enforce
! impartially the rules in contests. Inc
governing bodies of academic lnstl-
tutions should prevent any evasion OF
the playing rules"
The other subjects for discussion
mentioned in the circular follow
The summer baseball question Is
still with us. Is any practical pro
gress toward the proper solution OF
this problem being made? The sub
iect of the amateur law is now being
| investigated in conjunction with the
Amateur Athletic Research society.
From this study may result practical
suggestions for guidance In the treat
ment of this vexed subject. One thing
Is being accomplished, and that is
that attention is being attracted 10
this sore spot of intercollegiate ath-
letics. Thus will finally result pct

they we're handed a lemon in last

lie Lewis and the Dixie Kid.
The latter is the welterweight
champion Of the United States, but
he performed unlike a champion in

much better, although the sports who
attended the mill give him shade
in the decision today The Negro did
not show any OF his usual skill and

hibition.
