HARSH TREATMENT
IS HELP TO YALE
AS in the Past, Yale's De
fence Is Immense, and
Attack Is Snappy

New York, n. Y. Oct. 2S.-The harsh
treatment that was dealt out 10 Yale
last fall undoubtedly has worked Won
ders with this years New Haven
eleven, for right now that aggreSa-
ton seems TO be in q 1air way 70
head the list The Blue team is not
built around one man, but there are
II warriors who are working together
like so much machinery
As In former years. 4ale's defence IS
immense, while their attack 70 date
has been fast hard and snappy- Iney
have no Ted Coy this season, Dut II may
be all for the best that there isn't one
man who stands head and shoulders
above the others. The coaches have
worked industriOusly TO perfect a ma
chine and well they have succeeded
When the candidates were called out
this season prospects were NOT Drl8nLs
but the recruits far exceeded what was
Yale CIinEs to the Old.
Yale has been sticking 70 OLD Ioot l-.-l1
so far; they haven't tried any real
fancy plays. They haven't been cameo
upon to show their hand and that
probably accounts for the fact that
they have stuck almost entirely 70 the
straight style Of attack.
It IS the work Of the line that has
featured the play at New haven Iney
have opened holes for the backs and
have been a veritable stone wall when
attacked. As for the back field, 1T must
be said they have done everything
asked Of them, although they are not
g snowy trio by any means.
A One-3Tan-EIeTen.
Harvard is really One-man- eleven
Take Wendell away from the crimson
and the team would lose so percent OF
it's strength on the offence and the
big back is also one of the best de-
fensiTe men behind the line that ever
happened.
Wendell may not be a nashy player
at the new game; he IS essentially an
old style player He hits the line with
the force OF a locomotive and there
never was a harder man to bring 20
the ground
He does little sensational lodging.
but IL is seldom that he cannot be
counted upon to gain five or 10 yards,
and often more. He makes one think OF
Coy in his actions He never tires and
can be called upon to hit the line re-
pea teddy with no resi- He is the best
back in the east today, and / look for
him to be the big man In both the
Princeton and Yale contests.
WiRgl esWorth's loss at Harvard has
not disheartened the student body in the
least as Potter has shown decided i'm
prOvement lately. Already many ex-
better than WiggleswOrth ever did.
While wendell is Ehe big man at
Cambridge, you have to hand 10 to the
team for the clean handling Of I
the ball Tale's one fault is fumblina-
and Princeton coaches have been hav-
ing lot Of trouble with butter fin F.
gers" too.
Captain Mercer the Pivot
Pennsylvania team has been built I
around one man Captain Roy Mercer
Is the person that IS the pivot OF the
Quakers. At Ithaca it IS the same. Cor
nell banking on Eddie Butler Take I
these men away from their respective l
elevens and they Would have trouble D
beating a high school aggregation.
Princeton may be somewhat Of an ex-
ceptiOn to the One-men argument. in /
asmuch as they have q back field that
Is made up Of three cOrking players.
Penfield. PendletOn and Baker are q I
fast SNOWY trio that can be counted /
upon 10 gain much ground for the III
gers this season. IF the Princeton line
can only be worked into shape. the
back field men are likely to make a
display this fall never eQualed
Captain Eddie Harr. one of the best
backs in the country. who greatly re-
5embles Wendell I'm his playing has
Just got back into the game after be-
.ng absent because or a death I'm HIS
family. As the big fellOw is equally ]
Is good a lineman. it would not be sur
lrising If he Is stationed I'm a tackle
berth. He surely would add a lot OF Z
strength to the place where the Tigers
are weakest and at the same time his
absence from the back field wouldn't T
be missed.
The crack Brown eleven relies on
captain Sprackling. the great quarter
back, although Tenny and CrOwther are
-Op nOtchers.
