all its phasss-Bricklcy and Mahan in
short--was an even more eificacipus
plan in winning for Harvard than 1t was
last YEAR
The forward pass WAS done amateur
ish,y by both teams. 1t wasn't anything
like up TO the quality of the playing in
other respects. Yale made one successful
forward heave and Harvard none. The
leading feature Of the forward passing
was Brickey's .intercspting OF Yale's
filings. In addition to his other accom-
plishements as "A gridiron wizard Brickley

Covering of kicks was expected to prove
an important part in the game AS a de-
fens!ve measure and. except for Mahan's
superior speed, there was little To choose
in this department in the playing of the
two teams. Yale. II anything, had NOR
men down under kicks. but what Harvard
men were down were a shade faster. and
Wilson and Ainsworth couldn't get the

Victims Are Cheerful.

One of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight. This was
Dayton's first great food in many
years. Much of the submerged area
had been considered safe from high
water, but as the majority of resi-
dents OF these sections looked out on
all sides upon great sweep of muddy,
swiftly moving water. they seemed un-
disturbed.
In some Of the poorer sections the
attitude of the marooned was not SO
cheerful. As motor boat passed be-
fore the second floor of one partly
submerged house man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took on his wife and a baby that had
Just been born. The woman, almost
dying, was let down from the window
by rope and taken to place Of
refuge.
Further on, members OF a motor
boat party were startled by shots in
the second floor of a house about
which five feet of water swirled. The
boat was stopped and man peered
from the window of the house.
why are you shooting?" he was
asked.
ooh, just amusing myself aeehooting
at rats that come upstairs. When are
you going to take me out of here?"
he replied.
The bodies of woman and a baby
were seen floating down Jefferson
street, one of Dayton's main thorough
fares. 1t was thought they came from
the district north OF the river.
