a much better account or ltsei IMAM az
any time this season.
Percy d. Haughton, head coach OF the
Harvard eleven, wrote an interesting re-
vioy Of the Yale game for The Boston
Herald" of Monday. and among otner
things brought out clearly the manirold
duties of Hardwick, one OF the crimson
backs He said:
Hardwick. although strong hne
munger and capable of running the ends,
vas doing more than his share by acllHs
as end when FELTON, was klcKing. l oouot
~ more duties were ever placed upon
one plaver than were assigned 10 haru-
wick When he was not on the me ~
scrimmage he was often called upon 70
carry the ball. When ne was on i"g ,nIo
of scrimmage he was the principal inter
ferer on the secondary defence. but Wnen
Harvard kicked he was expected 10 cover
Felton's punts as an end. "nen the Up
moments kicked he was one OF the TWO
mon whom Harvard depended upon 10
catch punts and run them In. Lastly, ne
was chosen to make the punt-outs ana 10
kick the goals after touchdowns. 1t sure
IN takes a versatile athlete to do SO many
different Jobs, and | am confident no
other man could have done them all up
To the hilt as did Hardwick
Mr.. Haughton contends that Feltons
extraordinary kicking is 10 catcher or
his punts what Matty's "fadeaway" is to
q batsman. and so offers excuses for the
fumbing of Wheeler, the Yale quarter
back-and he might have included Flynn
by saying:
Many will criticise Wheeler for his in
ability to handle punts, but few people
realize how difficult Felton's punts are 20
handle. In the four games prior to the
Yale game | counted ten times when the
opposing backfeld fumbled his kicks.
Furthermore. It has been we'll known
among the Harvard coaches that FELTON,
kicked a peculiar ball, and the Harvard
team was thoroughly drilled TO expect
tumble whenever FELTON, punted. There
fore, rather than accuse the Yale back
field of a miserable performance let us
give credit to FELTON, for his extraordinary
skill in kicking a ball which, from a
catcher's point OF view, is as Mathew
sons 'fadeaway' is to the batter"
The Yale Daily News" in commenting
on the victory Of Harvard at football
last Saturday, says:
The crushing defeat suffered by the
university eleven at the hands OF Har-
ward brought to a gloomy climax sue
ccssion of three depressing football sea-
sons which have terminated with no
reasonable grounds for contentment.
For Harvards decisive victory We have
nothing but praise. The Crimson met US
whose title to the championship cannot
be questioned nor is 1t marred by any
semblance of a fiuke.
For Captain Spaldng we have the deep
est admiration. He kept his men lighting
until they left the field, and his aggressive
leadership has made us glad that he was
ut the head even of losing team.
Frank j. Navin, chief owner Of the
Detroit Tigers, denied yesterday that any
deal was under consideration IN which
Corridor, for whom he is said TO have
paid $1,000, would be exchanged for
Frank Chance TO the end that the former
manager of the Cubs could eventually
Yankees.
Interest Is increasing daily in the
championship boxing con-
test between Eddie McGoorty. OF Osh-
kosh. and Mike Gibbons, OF st. Paul, in
Madison Square Garden on December 4.
Conditions call for 1853 pounds, ringside,
the recognized middleweight limit.
Georges Carpenter. the middleweight
champion OF France. is coming here
shortly, and doubtless will be matched
to meet the winner. Furthermore, Nc
Goorty has already been offered dates to
fight in England and Australia, but 1t is
rumored that setback at the hands of
Gibbons would In all probability result in
the substitution of the boxer from st.
Paul AS the advance sale is already
large 1t is practically certain that the
men will box TO a crowded house.

the Fairmont Athletic Club OF The Bronx

frankie Burns will face Young
O'Leary. The other contests will be be-
tween frankie Madden and Young
