Harvard SchooIed in
YaIe's Famous Attack
HARVARD MUST SHOW MORE
FIGHT OR GET LICKED

"The team which Harvard meets
at New Haven tomorrow IL the best
that Yale has had since1 1900. We
fear them, and rightly, too" said
Head Coach HauKhtOn, of the HRr-
ward football team, In addressing
n mass meeting of students last
night.
Coach HaughtOn said II was hard
for a team to be on the top, as
Harvard is through its recent sue
cesSes against Yale, "fOr that makes
the other fellow tie under dogs he
fights all the harder because of II,
and sometimes he gets away with
ID. The Harvard team of 1914 has
got to compete with n first-cIass

Yale spirit. We must meet this by
showing more Harvard fight and
enthusiasm, or well get licked"

Big Crimson Eleven Practices
Shifting on the Defensive.
To Lay for Rugby Pass
BACKS WILL PLAY OUT

New York Nov. 19.-The Harvard
defensive trick plays that are designed
to smash the Yale attack of double.
lateral, and straightaway forward
passes.
The Harvard line. when it stacks
up against the Yale eleven Saturday
probably will execute more peculiar
shifts when on the defense than any
line ever executed before. Haughton
during the past two days put the Har-
ward team through a set of drills for
defensive play that seem like danger
Gus experiments for the Harvard
eleven, yet the Crimson crowd hopes
they will effectively block the Eli
ofense.
Harvard when on the defensive will
not throw its half backs in back of
the regular line so as to form a double
line. as is usually done. Instead. ac-
cordiuG to the inside" information
that is being passed along today. the
Eilrvard back field will string out
along the line. taking up the extreme
end positions and lay in wait for the
Yale backs when they try their rugby
pressing Harvard hopes in this way to
have six ends at work. No tv ends
are able to stop the Yale trick plays.
TIN was demonstrated in the Prince
tna game. but Harvard hopes that with
three ends on each side that one or
another will be able to grab the man
with the ball before he has a chance
to pass L along to some one else for
a big gain.
OF course. Harvard realizes that 1t
is a dangerous stunt to leave an un-
hacked line to Yale to plunge at. But
Harvard figures that if play starts
through the line, its half backs can
rush back from the end positions in
time. There is no denying the fact
that Harvard fears the Yale attack
as it was executed on Saturday
against Princeton. It's a dazzling at
tack, and one which rarely can be
stopped without appreciable gains be-
ing made. unless extraordinary de
fensives plans are made. And thai is
why Harvard has planned a startling
defense for its battle against the Ellis
Saturday.
The betting this afternoon was at
odds around to 31k and > to in
Harvard's favor. but so much Yale
money came into sight today that it
seemed practically certain that the bet
ting on Saturday would be at even
money.

The Washington herald., 1914-11-20

Chicago. Nov. 19.-Word has reached
this city that Walter Johnson'S effort
to stick up the Washington club for
a record salary has brought an offer
of a three-year contract at $4,000 a
year from Clark Grifith. II the Fed
erals go above that they are welcome
to the pitcher, but the $4,000 mark is
as far as the Washington club cares
to go. This means $4,000 for three
years work.
The negotiations between the great
pitcher and the club have been going
on since midseasOn. Walter has stead
fastly refused to give out the figures
he is supposed to have received from
the outlaws. and for this reason he
has Griffith and President Minor bid
ding against an unknown price. They
have overlooked the injustice of his
actions, and the $4,000 announced is
tagged as their limit.
Four years ago Johnson drew an
ordinary salary. The next spring he
was signed to a three-year contract
calling for $1,000. In 1914 this con-
tract ran out. and he refused to tie
himself up for more than season.
He succeeded in getting a $4,000 raise
for last seasons work, bringing his
total up to $4,000 for the year. Today
he is hesitating about accepting an In
crease of $4,000 over that contract.
