Comments on Harvard EIeven's Great Victory
 Over Yale Team

Crimson tactics. When Harvard got the ball on Yale's IS yard line in the third period the Blue defense was com pletely fooled when Brfckley dashed around end on a fake play which sent most of the Harvard Interference in the oEposite direction.
 Yale's forward pass was of the long variety which is always a gamble The ball has to be thrown into a group of players and the enemy is just as apt to catch the ball as the man for whom the pass was intended. Often on forward passes tried by Yale only one went right. Harvard tried Quarterback Gardner across the scrirn- mage line to Fe1ton- This put Brick ley in position to- kick field goal.
 The only redeemfng feature for the Eli rooters was Ya1es rushing in the final period when the Ellis pushed the ball to Haryardss nine yard line only to be held for downs. Not to take any credit from the gallant work of Ya1e's second string of backs it must still be pointed out that there was reason for the weakening of the liar ward defense. The Crimson lineup had remained the same from the start while Yale was constantly putting in fresh men. When the Ellis got well into Harvard territory, Coach Haugh- ton sent in several new 1inemen and the Cambridge lads then held Yale for downs.

During the past few years Murphy's
strength has been greatly sapped. The

The humid heat in the summer time
also weakens him. He has been spend

Murphy was in poorer physical con-

BASEBALL PAYS
TY COBB WELL
Earns $39.65 Every Time He
Hit in Season Of
1912

Every time Ty Cobb made base hit
during the season of 1912 he earned
1885. In 1910 he was paid at the rate
Of S45.92 per safety. while in 1911 he
made S36.29 per swat, fielding and base
running not being considered in figur-
ing his compensation. Does it pay
to play baseball. Tyrus Raymond has
been drawing a salary Of 50 900 for his
services each Of the last three years.
now Ty's contract is run out and he
ants another calling for $4,000 more,
and probably will get it, as without
m the Tigers would draw very small
crowds.
In the last three years Ty has made
671 hits, while his salary for the same
length of time was $27, 900. II Cobb
were getting paid for making hits

than $40 for swinging a bat and hit

1910 Profitable Year.
If Cobb were getting paid for this
alone, his most profitable year so far
would have been 1910. In that season
he made 1876 hits at a salary of $4,000,
which would have given him 1852 for
each bingle. That's a whole lot more
than the average workingman receives
for a weeks hard labor, so 1t can be
seen at a glance that it pays to be the
best ball player living.
In 1911 Ty made PAS bingles for
which he received an average of $36.2s
each. This was his poorest year
when the amount of stipend is taken
into consideration, but at that it is
a very nice little sum. For each hit
In the 1912 campaign he gathered in
5000 All in all. he received for each
bingle in the last three seasons the
wee sum of S4O25 each.
The demon Tiger outfielder started
his professional baseball career In
1904, when he played the start of the
season for the Admission Ga, team and
swatted $40. He then went TO Angus
