OLD GRIDIRON STARS
GATHER FOR BATTLE

Climax of Eastern Football VIII Have
Been Reached When Saturdays
Game Is Played ut Harvard.
New York, Nov. with the playing
Of the Harvard Yale game at Cam
bridge or Saturday. the climax Of east
ern football viii have been reached.
Notwithstanding the wide difference in
the seasons records of the two elevens,
interest in the game is greater this
year than ever before. GridirOn stars
of former decades ere fiockins to both
New Haven and Cambridge to witness
and assist in putting the final touches
on the two teams which VIII meet IN
HarVard'S famous stadium Tor the fln2l
battle of the varsity schedules with
the gathering of the old timers comes
a revival of the tales Of proves by
players Of former years The veteran
is loath to admit that the younger
generation is capable of developing
either line or backfield stars who out
rank in football ability such stars as
Hefflefinger, MOffat, BrOol1es, Poe,
Ames, COrwin, Lamar, McClUng and
Hare
Much material for use in this annual
controversy between the players Of to-
day and yesteryear has been furnished
by ParkC Davis. who delights to delVc
into ancient football records and
emerge with all sorts of interesting
data which YIELDS together the past
and present in gridirOn history. One
of his latest efforts in this direction
is the compiling of list OF full length
field runs
It so happens that a Yale player
first achieved this spectacular feat, and
to add joy to the occasion il was
against Harvard eleven. r. w Wat
son, captain of the Yale team of 1880.
was hero, and additional honor &C
crued to the Eli leader in that he was
the first Yale player to score a touch
down against Harvard The Crimson
had been previously defeated by Yale.
but always by field goals, and Watson
was the pioneer OF a long line Of Yale
players who have carried the ball across
the Harvard goal line. Davis tells
the tale as follows:
"a search through the accounts Of
the games from 1874 to 1881 finds only
a single instance OF a fulfilled run
1 from kickoff to touchdown. Harvard
was playing Yale at Boston. November
20 1880. A hard. grueling battle was
drawing to a close, without a score
by either eleven Just as the last five
minutes began, Walter Camp kicked
! a goal from the field for Yale. The
teams quickly lined uD for a kickoff
and Cults. of Harvard. sent A long
swirling kick to Yales 20 yard line
where it was caught by r. W. Watson,
captain of Yale. With the catch of the
ball Watson leaped into flight. and
sped straight up the center of the field.
The Harvard men did nc mass upon
! him in that primitive day. as would
now occur, but met him with a scat
tered formation. Through this broken
ing off tackler after tackIer. and
crossed the line, scoring the first touch
down ever scored against Harvard by
Yale"
