WILL CONY PLAY

The challenge noted in Saturdays
issue of the morning paper is I'M
doubtedly considered a stroke of good
fortune by the Cony players. 1t Of
fers them the opportunity to close
their schedule perhaps with victory,
instead of a somewhat humiliating de-
feat. and surely affords them the OPP
portunity to let the climax of their
season be marked with an exhibition
of the fine quality of football they are
capable of playing.
Secondly, there are many who would
be pleased to witness the meeting OF
the two Con teams, of 1910 and 1914,
which discussion and argument place
so nearly on an equal.
Last, but by no means of least i'm
portance, the abundant opportunities
for charitable investments of money
during the present days suggests a
most worthy motive for such an ex-
hibition, the, proceeds from which
might be added to-say-the Belgian
relief fund.

HARVARD LOSES FOOTBALL STARS
BY GRADUATION PROSPECT FOR
Z. next YEARS ELEVEN A GOOD one

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 22.-With the
1914 season closed successfully by the
victory over Yale yesterday, Harvard
football enthusiasts today surveyed
the material for next season.
Head Coach Percy d. Haughton, in
his eighth year as mentor of the
Crimsons football teams, and the
last one under his present contract
will lose most of the men who worked
for Harvard's success at New Haven.
Only three of the eleven men who
started the game will return to col
lege Fifteen of the 25 players who
won their letter will be lost to the
team.
The star halfback, Edward W. Ma
han, who is the probable choice for
captain to succeed Charlie Brickley,
heads the prospects for next season.
Parson, who was impressed from the
crew squad to fill left tackle. and
Wallace, placed at center late in the
season, are the other two regulars re-
naming Three members of last years

There is a possibility that the State

may be asked to pass some act which
will make 1t practically obligatory upon
the town of Harpswell to construct the
bridge. Both proponents and opponents
of the bridge are employing expert Ie-
gal advice and the next move on the

football game played on the Delta
Saturday afternoon resulted in
scoreless tie. Early Saturday morn

with the big municipal roller, were
busy Ill an attempt to get the field in
some sort Of condition for the game,
but after the first two or three plays

covered the field was well ploughed up
and at times the players would arise
from the ground looking vastly more
like snowmen than human beings.
While the game was fiercely contested
throughout the slippery condition of
the gridiron made long runs or bril-
liant open plays impossible and the
contest was in the main an old-fash-
Toned one throughout. The two teams
were quite evenly matched, although
the Freshmen had little the better
of the argument as regards ground
gaining. The work of Swift, Phillips,
Bradford and Capt. Campbell featured
for the Sophs, while Capt. Stanley and
Nevins starred for the Freshies.
The game opened with the Sopho-

Sophs held for four straight downs

Soon after the opening of the first
quarter Phillips, the Sophomore quar-
back, intercepted a forward pass on

HARVARD CRuSHES YALE BY
SUPERIOR PLAYS-SCORE IS TO 0

New Haven, CT, Nov. 22.--Harvards
football juggernaut crushed the Yale
eleven by score of Sc to in the Blue
bowl Saturday afternoon while H.
900 spectators watched the gridiron
routine in supplied amazement.
The Crimson machine rushed up and
down the field, almost at will, scoring
in every period of play and when the
60 minutes of battle had elapsed had
succeeded in rolling the largest num-
Der of points ever registered against
an Eli eleven. With the exception of
the 1885 Yale victory Of 4S to 0, 1t was
the greatest score ever made in "a
games played sinve 1875.
The one sided score fails to give the
slightest inkling of the thrilling scope
of the play or the remarkable strafc-
gy and individual brilliancy with
which the game fairly bristled. Sur
rounded by more than third of
mile of towering tiers of humanity, the
two elevens struggled back and forth
the length of the gridiron every sec
ond or third play bringing the thou
sands to their feet, SO intense was the
excitement and spectacular the play.
At times it appeared as though the
contest was part of carefully pre-
arranged spectacle wherein Climax
followed climax until the spectators
were bewidered by the rapid success
sion of runs, passes and kicks which
were turned with almost as much ra-
riditv into scores, but always for
Harvard Far from the least of these
Kaleidoscope changes. were the rum
bles which Yale contributed in the
shadow of the Crimson goal posts and
which Harvard Immediately turned
into additional touchdowns.

etrated that once each year all roads
lead to Reuel Williams field. Despite
the icy walking and snowy roads Pc
destrians and automobiles and car
riages with equal zest made their way
to the field where the Cony Band was
playing in the midst of the numbers
cpngregated beneath the crimson ban
ser, while on the other side of The
field the Gardiner throng Of followers
were stretched along the side line.
The snow had been scraped from the
field in anticipation of the game which
was in surprisingly good condition for
the contest. Naturally it was slippery
but IT furnished a much firnler foot
ing than had been considered pos
sible. 80
At all events it is not the field that
IL mentioned in comment upon the re-
suit of the contest. In explanation
both praise and blame for the two
participants is expressed as usual and
as usual both are right. Undoubtedly
Gardiner won the game by a superior
: quality of football for which she is
entitled to due credit Similarly is 1t
true that Cony exhibited an inferior
s grade of football to that of which she
has shown herself capable, in which
respect 1t is fair for her to take the
blame. The question of what might
have been, however, does not enter the
present discussion which concerns the
game alone. Gardiner by all odds and
at nearly all moments was Cony's SUI
perior in Saturdays game.
The game was rather later than the
hour scheduled in starting. Captain
Talbot of the Gardiner eleven won the
toss and chose that Cony receive the
kick defending the south goal
