Trim Tigers.
Cambridge, Nov. 5.-Contrasting sharp
ly with the Princeton whiriwind attack.
the Harvard attack is slow and methodi-
cal. aiming rather at precision than sur
prise. Each man must do his part to
perfection in order that the attack may
go at all, and consequently team play
Is vitality essential as in 1872 Harvard
will depend on the closed rather than on
the old style of attack. being equipped
with a powerful line and a fast power
full set OF backs.
The only department in which Har-
ward is weaker than last year Is In kick
ing. Mahan and Hardwyck are not In
Felton's class by any means. but both
are capable of doing good, consistent
work. and can be depended upon TO hold
their own with any of the Princeton
kickers. In the drop-kicking department
Harvard is stronger: for, besides the
ever-dependable Brickley, both Mahan
and Logan are well above the average.
The Harvard attack has not been
forced to do its utmost this season. hav-
ing met no real strong opposition. In
the Princeton game the backs will be
forced for the first time this year to
meet a defense that will test II to its
utmost.
Mahan Is brilliant in open field work.
but is not as strong a line-smasher as
either Brickley or Hardwyck. Brickley
is a dangerous man In any section OF the
field; for, combined with his great
strength as a Iine-smasher, he can dodge
In the open field. and as a drop-kicker
he has no equal Hardwyck combines
line-smashing with speed and sis prob
ably the most useful man on the team.
The hopes Of the Harvard supporters
are pfpned on the offensive strength Of
the team. which combines open field rum
ming with line-smashing and. when with
in striking distance, the deadly toes Of
BrickIey, Mahan, and Logan.
Army.
West Point n. Z, Nov. IA heavy
forty-five minute scrimmage was the
program for today. The regulars and
scrubs hammered one another, the first
string men securing two touchdowns
through fine work by Hodgson. Hobbs.
and Benedict In the FIRST ten minutes
Benedict, who got back in the lineup
today for the first time In q week, boot
ed the ball from placement over the
cross bar from the S-yard line.
The coaches are devoting considerable
time to the Army's offensive play. which
seemed to show more fire and dash to-
day. Albright Is the Army's next op-
ponent, and while the Cadets do not an
ticipate much trouble in disposing Of the
Pennsylvanians, no chances win be
taken.

Today's practice. the first for the reg

Cornell.
Ithaca. Nov. 5-Jack o'Hearn, Cornelrs |
crack right end, will not be able to get /
