c. j. PRACTICES IN
BLOCKING PUNTS
Men Drilled for Nearly an
Hour in That Branch
of Play.

The Catholic University foot bali squad
is working hard for the game Thanks

eleven. and the men are entertaining no
other thought but that Of victory.
Coach McDevitt is working the men
hard developing the new plays and the
interference Fully one hour was spent
yesterday In teaching the line the method
of breaking through and blocking kicks.
Two of the scrubs, namely Russell and
Durham, have been placed at halfback
and right end, respectively. on the varsity
and have been showing up well In the
workouts.
Yesterday for the first time since the
Vallanova game Capt. George Blewett
was in a uniform. Although the liga-
ments OF his injured leg have not en-
tirely healed he was able to go through

lars. and the old-time life Is expected in
the workout today.
Tomorrow, in the absence Of scheduled

send the scrubs against the varsity In a
regular Game, and 1t will be q hard-fought
contest. as the scrubs are anxious to get
the better Of the regulars.

Great Plunging Backfield.

AS plunging, ground-gaining backfield
the Harvard trio probably has something
on the Yale men. 1t is likely that the
Crimson backs are the hardest line buck
ers back of any set of forwards in the
country. Yale, if it stops such powerful
men as Harvard has to send against it.
will have to be given a lot of credit
for it's defense. OF course, Yale has
man back of its line who can be depended
on to gain ground most consistently, but
as a whole the Yale backfeld hardly
measures UP to the standard of that OF
Harvard.
The Harvards are also said to be a
shifty, capable aggregation. They are
fast and well drilled both in meeting the
shifting attack Of an opposing line and
also playing fast aggressive game on
the offense. 1t is reported that Yale has
a ponderous set of linemen and that their
work this year has been almost perfect
while on the defense. The one trouble
with the Dark Blue men, though, is that
they move slowly on the offensive and
fail to moke the openings as they would

A left-hander should have no terrors
for the Cubs next season. Providing
Evers gets Eddie Grant as part of the
Tinker trade with Cincinnati, then Evers
could send in a formidable array of left
handed batsmen to face any southpaw
twirler. With Grant on hand, thinner
man would be the only one of the seven
regulars, outside The battery, who doesn't
bat from the port side. Safer and Evers
both do. as also Schultz, Sheckard Mil
Ter, Williams and Clymer, from whom
the Cub outtield is pretty sure to be made
up.

Does Not Fear TouchdownS.

The Dark Blue is not fearing the scor-
ing of touchdowns, If reports are to be
accepted, as much as it is the kicking
of field goals. Despite the fact that Har-
ward has had great backfields on num-
Der of occasions, it has failed to cross
Yale's goal line in eleven years. That Will
be a traditionary thing against which
Yale will fight with greater spirit than IT
has displayed at any other time. Let
Harvard threaten Yales goal for touch
down and the chances are that some OF
the most brilliant defensive play of the
year will be seen.
The game will take place in New
Haven. That should mean something TO
the Yale team. Any eleven will put up a
gamer fight on it's own field, with friendly
crowds looking on and cheering 1T, thah
it will on hostile territory. The presence
of home influences and home things gen.
orally acts as a stimulus which nerves a
foot ball team to greater accomplishments
than in other environments.
1t is the one important game of the day
and the most important of the year IN
that it will unquestinably give the victor
the undisputed right to the title. 1t
should be a brilliant display of proWess
on the part of two of the most powerful
foot ball machines in the country, and
will likely be a contest which will make
gridiron history.

Harvard Has Appeared Stronger.

In the games which have been played
this season Harvard has appeared the
stronger in almost every department Of
play, with the possible exception of the
defense. Yale has not had its goal line
crossed as has Harvard. Brown failed to
score on Yale, yet it made ten points
against the Crimson. Generally 1t has
been pointed out that Yale had developed
a more powerful defense than any eleven
in the country. but whether it will be
able to Withstand the powerful plunges
of such men as Wendell. Brickley and
Harwick will have to be tested Then
it is likely that the defense of the Lar
ward eleven will be showed to a greater
limit than heretofore to stop Flynn from
gaining ground, If reports which have
come from New Haven regarding the
prowess of the fullback are to be credited
in full.
In kicking the elevens have two of the
best punters in the country. Lale has
Flynn and Harvard has FELTON,. Both are
wonders at booting the ball. and can
protect their goals in wonderful style by
getting away spirals which travel fifty
! and sixty yards with great regularity.
! Both kickers have fast, capable ends to
cover their punts. There is not much
probability that there will be any great
difference in the work of the teams in
| this department.

HARVARD MEETS
YALE TOMORROW
Battle Between Crimson and
Dark Blue Will Decide Foot
Ball Championship.
YALE SPIRIT A FACTOR
TO BE RECKONED WITH
Harvard Has Great Goal Kick
er in BrickIey, and Has Mar
gin on Form.
BY H. G. BYRD.

Unless tie game is played. the foot
ball championship will be decided tomor-
row. The game in which Yale and Har-
ward will appear will mean that one or
the other will win the much-coveted
honor.
Whether or not Yale or Harvard will
finish with the highest honors foot ball
can give is something being discussed now
wherever the game is known. 1t is the
one big topic Of interest and the one con-
test in which general concern is being
manifested.
Harvard is the favorte in the eye Of
critics. but that is not saying that it will
be the winner Too many times has Har-
ward looked to be the best bet, and yet
when the contest was played Yale rose
to the emergency and prevented it's goal
line from being crossed. Three years ago
Harvard was a 2-to-1 favorite, and yet
Yale came forward SO rapidly in week. s
time that it held the Crimson to a 90
score.
The Yale courage and grit is factor to
be reckoned with. Time after time teams
from that university have gone into
games with all the odds against them
Year after year has passed in which
Yale has built up fighting spirit which
is handed down from team to team. 1t Is
factor in every contest in which rep
resentative team from New Haven ap-
pears, and it has come to be considered by
others. Not feared in the sense that other
elevens are afflicted with chills upon the
occasion of meeting. but because it has
come to be a potent factor in the success
of Yale eleyens.
1t has been said in more than one in
stance that Harvard must be 80 per cent
stronger than Yale to win from it.
Whether or not this is true is question
able, but there must be something which
has decisive bearing in games between
the two schools. There have been several
instances in which Harvard has gone into
games with the Yale eleven much the ia
vorite and yet has been unable to exc out
a victory

if they got off little faster and were
more aggressive.
The one department of play in which
Yale is said to fear Harvard more than
In any other is in the kicking or field
goals. Notwithstanding the fact that Yale
was successful in that at Princeton. it has
much concern over what may be accom-
plished by Brickley. His work against
Princeton and his general accuracy in
booting the ball over the bar have tran
scended anything seen this season. and II

unity of views. 1t IS known there is
considerable latent jealousy among the
allied nations and as time tends TO
sharpen the differences as to the

of the demands to hasten a settlement.
