GARDNER \ VALUABLE PLAYER
Harvars Quarterback Important Asset TeamI Cap
 tain of Hockey Team-Beau Brummel of Crimson Squad.

One player on the Harvard football team that has received only scant at tention from the self-styled all East ern critics or experts who yearly select their mythical elevens is Harry Gard ner, quarterback on the premier foot ball team of 1912 dealer in brains for some of his less fortunate teammates as well as active general supervisor and director of the Harvard play. liar " is a New York boy, and received his early football training at Concord, N. H. Like all other good St. Paul school athletes he too was thoroughly drilled in the fundamentals of ice hockey, which accounts in some part for the fact that he is Harvard's hockey cap tain for this season.
 With two years experience at St. Paul's behind him, Gardner had very little difficulty in capturing the pilot position on the Harvard freshman eleven. As sophomore he made his "H' against Yale in 1910 being one of a trio of Crimson quarterbacks who did duty during that engagement. The last season was the third that he has had hand in piloting charge against the Ellis.
 Gardner is very quiet and the time of year that he indulges in the most
 
 when he is called upon to deliver his signals. He is a deep thinker and con sequently says little. During the pres ent season he has chosen his plays happily. His active brain assisted Sam telton in his bunting and Charles Brickley in his drop kicking. When opportunities %o gain through line at Jacks or around the corners were few and far between, Gardner bethought himelf of the five toes Bricllley car ried on his right foot. Bringing his crusaders to within cannonading dis tance of the enemys fotress he would signal Gunner Bricllley to boom away with his football shells at their cross bar. With the Gotham star at the helm everything worked smoothly and the varsity combination always turned in its hardest and most earnest days work when he was directing efforts. A cool head. with both feet always on earth, he proved one of the best men on the squad in an emergency.
 Harry Gardner and Hobley Baker of Princeton are sworn enemies in the collegiate sense and speaking from an athletic standpoint. Last January Bakers clever skating deprived Har- ward of certain claim on the cham pionship title of the collegiate hockey u. ing both contests with the Tigers, each eleven counting victory The Crim- son reverse came at home in the Bos- ton Arena. Gardner got ample re- venge upon his Jungleville rival this fall. when, thanks to Mir Brickley, the Jerseymen were repulsed in their foot ball contest at Cambridge. The two athletes will engage in their last clash at arms next January, when they VIII lead their respective hockey teams against each other in a series or games for what probably will be considered the intercollegiate hockey champion ship.
