Cool clear weather prevailed
today for the annual Army

early promise that the attendance

More than thirty special trains

day. each freighted with enthu-
siasts from all parts of the coun-
try, including in their numbers men
high in the executive and military
life Of the nation
The big crowd that arrived last
night thronged the hotel lobbics,
and in many places informal class
reunions were held by the one
time middies and cadets.
The Army eleven was made
slight ravorite in the betting be-
cause of its showing in its last

BOSTON MASS, Nov. 30
= While Boots" Brickley is
naturally head-lined as the
Harvard hero of 1912, and Bob Stor-
er and Sam FELTON, crowd him for
the top of column honor, it has
almost been overlooked that the
Yale game produced the most YER
satile man in football, and that
Huntington r. Hardwick, the light
ming left halfback of the Crimson
team, is the fellow whereof we
speak.
In the imaginary American
elevens which will be devised by
the experts" of the country,
Hardwick will likely be overlooked
by many. But if the writer had a
football team all his own, he would
rather have Hardwick working
therein than any other man in foot
ball outside Of the Harvard team
and this goes for Jim Thorpe or
any other star of the game.
> ~ u uNlis CNlutllL " dAA W ~
watched the New Haven pastime
closely is brought out very clear
ly by Coach Percy D. Haughton,
the Harvard football master, in his
own review of the Crimson tri-
umph. This shows how Hardwick
participated in the system scoring
of II of the 20 points.
What HardWick Did.
According to Haughton, who de-
vised the Harvard system of Of
Tense and defense and who worked
out for Harvard the Yale game the
DRY, this is what Hardwick did
He became the eighth and most
important man on the scrimmage
line in the Harvard attack This
eight-man line was Harvard's most
successful progressive device.
He acted as left end when Eel
ton was drawn back to punt.
He was called upon frequently to
run with the ball from behind the
line, principally for end runs.
He was frequently on the line of
scrimmage as the principal inter-
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-30

ferer in secondary defense.
When Harvard kicked he was
expected to go down the field, Gov
ering Felton's punts, as an end.
When Yale kicked he, with Gard
ner, was depended upon to catch
punts and run them back.
He was chosen to make the
puntouts from behind the line
He was called upon to kick the
goals after touchdowns.
How He Did It.
This is what Haughton says of
MS success:
Although a strong line plunger
and capable of running the ends,
Hardwick was doing more than his
share by acting az an end, while
FELTON, was kicking. l doubt if
more duties were ever placed on
one player than were assigned to
Hardwick.
at surely takes a versatile ath
ete to do so many different jobs,
and | am confident no other man
could have done them all up to
the hilt as did Hardwick."
Haughton declares that the Har-
ward attack was naturally built UP
about he kicking of FELTON, and
Brickley, but, after the Princeton
game, when it was discovered that
Harvard. might reasonably hope to
realize its long standing ambition
to crash though Yale got a touch
down, a scheme of line rushing was
evolved and Hardwick's versatile
ity caused him to be chosen as the
central factor in that only inno-
walton employed.
This innovation was the eight
man sCrimmage line. This is what
Haughton said of that plan:
by this simple operation the Of
fenslve line of scrimmage was suf-
1iciently heightened to accomplish
one of two results.
IF the opposing tackle went out
to meet the fianking movement it
meant that the defensive line was
so much weakened
If. on the other hand, this tackle
neglected to observe the thanking
man, he was subject to an attack

he wants.

Result of Hardwick's Play.
That the use of Hardwick in the
manner stated was successful is
shown by these incidents of the
game. all of which figured In the re-
suit:
First When Flynn kicked so
yards from behind his own goal
near the BEGINNING Of the first Pc
riod-one of the longest punts ever
made AGAINST Harvard-forcinq
Gardner to tumble, there occurred
Hardwick's first remarkable play.
Haughton describes il as follows.
The bail was loose and Bomeis-
Ter was lust about to pick it UP
with a clear field ahead of him.
At that moment Hardwick made
one of the cleverest plays | have
ever seen. Instead Of trying for the
ball himself. he went after Bomeis-
Ter and. by "A perfect piece of block
ing. knocked him off his feet. which
enabled BrickIey to recover the
ban. If Yale had scored on this
play. il would have seriously affect
ed the morale of the Harvard
team"
Second. When Hardwick ran
down the field under a FELTON,
punt. bumped Wheeler and the lat
ter fun,bIed. On this play Storer
recovered the ball for the first
touchdown.
