Harvard produced this year one
OF the greatest football teams of all
time. She won, So to 0. and she
showed class in every move. She
outplayed Yale at every turn. The
opinion was general that the Grim
son team was about the best coached
team that was ever sent into battle.
This is more evidence that Prince
ton should get on the job and secure
a professional coach--the best that
money can produce, as one of the
grads has said. Harvard, on Satur-
day. knew her own strength, and she
Those beautiful triple, lateral and
forward passes by Yale in evidence in
the game against Princeton We're
missing. The Crimson team knew all
about those passes, and the men saw
to it that efforts in that line were
frustrated. Yale was shown up
badly. She was outplayed every
where. When she did have chance
she made mistakes, and Harvard
was always there ready to take ad-
vantage of the plumbers.
@
Harvard is undoubtedly the great
est team of the year-East or West.
Her playing in the game against Yale
was her final one of the season and it
was her best one. Her men were de-
veloped gradually until they were
sent into the game against Yale, a
perfectly fit aggregation. The kind of
football Harvard produced was a
revelation. She was pretty good
against Princeton, but she was inn
mense against Yale. She gave the
Ellis the worst beating of their
career and before the biggest crowd
in the history of the game in this
country.

The New York six-day race, which
was won after series of wild sprints
Saturday night by Alfred Goullet
and Alfred Grenda, was about the
biggest boom the game has received
in years. 1t was a tremendous sue
cess in every way-financially and
artistically-and next year it should
turn out to be one Of the big society
events of the season. All this has
been brought about by the manner
In which the race was conducted. In
previous years the Garden, during
the six-day race, was a rendezvous
for thugs and thieves. The number
of hold-ups ran up into the hun
dreds, and innocent men were beaten
right and left. One gang was hired
to protect the management, and an
other gang was hired TO watch that
gang. The gangs met and fought and
sometimes shots were fired. Watches
by the hundred were stolen, and il
Of the thieves to hit the victim in the
face with a watch If it happened to
be a Waterbury. This thing had been
going on in the Garden for years, and
it was said that it couldn't be
stopped. 1t was stopped, however,
and was the simplest thing in the
world to do. Those responsible FOR
the new state of affairs at the Gar
den are not seeking any credit, but
they are deserving of 1t just the
same. For tho first few days the
outside world didn't believe that
Madison Square Garden was as safe
as q church, but later on, learning
that such was the case, society turned
out in numbers. 1t was wonder.
