There is a rumor that Dr. Hague,

show additional causes for the condi-

"YALE PLAYERS NOT VERY
 CRAFTY,"' SAYS HARVARD LEADER
Mahan Tells How Trick Plays Worked And
 Praises Whole Crimson Team.

the Harvard players and made them think they were not going to. get the adverse kind of luck they had Tn some previous games
 Speaking of breaks, however, don't want to give the impression that all of the favorable things that hap pened for Harvard were the result of breaks. Haughton has drilled it into us that following the ball all is one of the mighty requisites of the game, and it is second nature to every member of the Crimson team to fol- low the ball. When any one. sees loose ball he jumps for it before he has time to think, for it is more. of a quickly responding me chanica1 process than anything else That is why Harvard has recovered her many fumb1es. You can't call a team lucky for that.
 Ut was nobody in particular and everybody in general whos won the game for us. In the first place, Haughtons system is the thing whether sShevlin of Yale believes in systems or not. It was Percy who gave us the goods to beat Yale, and I want to see him get credit for hav- ing developed the team The backing of the AHaryard students and gradu- ates always counted for a lot, too.
 'sYale was not very crafty, should say. We worked several of our best trick plays against them for long gains. We used the same plays in our Princeton game, when plenty of Tale scouts were looking on, and the players must have been trained to break them up. But Pm sure we made better headway against the Ellis with the plays than we did against the Tigers when the plays were ab- solutely new.
 fsThe Yale line was not strong, eith- CT. I don't see how Princeton was unable to pierce it a week ago. We did not have to try 8 drop kick even, which is another record for Harvard, for in all previous games that have been played since Haughton has been coach at least one try for a. field goal has been made. But Saturday we found the Yale line yielding so much that we just kept marching on and made tOuchdowns instead of half DOT tion ScOres''

LATEST TIDINC5S FROM SHORTHAND G4919 1ss.7
HARVARD MAY
 TACKLE WEST
 POINT IN 1916

; Cambridge, Nov. 22-Within the next ten days Harvard will start arranging her football schedule for 1916. No off1- cia1 information is\ yet available on the make up of next seasons oppo- nents, but two or three of the teams who came to the Stadium this fall will be missing. Penn State is to be dropped and Colby and Carlisle will likely meet the same fate.
 Penn State played a much too rough game for Harvard this fall, and that, coupled with the fact that this year was the third season that the Penn sylvanians have been entertained, made it wise to look for a new oppo- nent.
 It is very likely that Harvard will resume her gridiron relations with West Point instead. The last game between the two in titutions took place in 1910. Lieut.. Charles Daily, coach of the Cadets, was a star Harvard quar- terback, and should he stay on with West Point would be very anxious to try out his team against that of his alma mater.

BROWN ELEVEN WILL MAKE TRIP TO COAST
 TO PLAY WASHINGTON
BROWN SPORTS. :.

BROWN SPORTS. L G .. ..e...
 Providence, R. l., Nov. 22-Brown has been selected as the eastern col lege to meet the University of Wash ington on the football gridiron at Pasadena, Cal, on New Year Day, and the first game ever played by distinc- prove of widespread interest. The game will provide the athletic feature of Pasadena's famous Tournament of Roses, now come to be recognized as the biggest and most spectacular fete in the country.
 Brown was selected by the tourna- ment association after negotiations with Harvard. Yale and Cornell gave no prospect of those colleges accept ing.
 The University of Washington has a particularly strong eleven this year, and has had no trouble in winning from other coast teams Brown de- veloped a great offensive strength in Yale and Harvard games rushing the ball for over 400 yards to their op- ponents' less than 200 yards.
 Brown plays it's last game on it's regular schedule on Thanksgiving Day with the Carlisle Indians as oppon- ents preparing for that contest. A squad of about 22 players and the usual retinue of coaches. trainers and managers will be taken on the trip. The start will be made from >Provi- dence on Decem Der 22 and home will be, reached about January 10.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-11-22

The surprise at HarYardS s big score Saturday showed that most people don't take into account the policy Qur-. sued by Coach Haughton 1each sea son. The Yale game is the contest he is aiming and he developes bis. team slowly so it will be just on edge when the New HaveR warriors are eneoun-= tered.
 For that reason Harvard is apt to look ragged in midseason. The Grim. son doesn't care particularly about the early games and there is no effort made to pile up big scores. If the eleven. had been pointed forth Cor nell game the Crimson players might have made a better showing but the chances are that the team would have been on edge too early and would. have gone stale for the big games later in the schedule. That's the mis- take Princeton made. The Tigers were at their best in midseason and s1umpsd when they faced their big rivals.
 Harvard didn't look impressive before Saturdays game but when the contest started it was seen that. Haughton had fbroughtZ his machine into perfect working order. The fair ness with which he treats the players is another thing that inspires the boys In Saturdays game he gave several seniors a chance to. make their letter although they were not good enough to make the regular team. But young sters like Whitney and Doherty, who had given the team the best they had during their college careers were re- warded by being allowed to play a few minutes, thereby earning the cov- eted 'tn.''
 Referee Mccarthy of iNaugatuck did fairly well as an official at the Arms-Annex game at Newfie1d park yesterday but he would have made a. better impression if he hadn't talked back to the players. A good referee can enforce the rules without argu- ing with the players.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19O7-Owen Moran knocked out Frankie Neil in 16th round at San Francisco. This was the first time Neil had ever taken the count, and it practically ended the ring career of the little Californian. As a matter of fact, it was a victory which put Neil on the toboggan. Early in 1906 he knocked out Harry Tenny, the Cana dian bantam. Harry died the follow ina day, and the tragedy deprived Frankie of his fighting spirit. He re- turned to the ring and fought Abe AtteIl and Harry Baker in Los Angeles, but in both instances he was defeated, and the Britisher put the finishing touches on NeiPs career. In his early days as a boxer Frankie won nearly all of his contests by knockout, but after the Tenny affair he seemed to be afraid to cut loose Neil was de- feated in short bouts by Eddie Han lon, but held him to a draw in 8 B. round combat. He visited London in 1904 and fought Jem Bowker 20 rounds in London, losing the decision. although the Americans present thought he had won.
 1893-Johnny Dundee (Joseph Carrora), lightweight boxer, born at Sharkai. Italy.

CERTAIN TO COME IN BASEBALL
 DECl ARE EXPERTS

New York. Nov. 22.-Out of the acrf- znony and strife between the Federal < league and so-cal1ed organized base ball will come peace and harmony. Such was the statement of a man who has followed baseball for 20 years or more. and who is actively interested in the affairs of the Federal league His opinion is shared, by man who has won fame in leagues under the protection of the national agreement, and whose name tf1unders from the threats of fans when baseball. calls. its worshippers to the shrine each summer
 The opinion, voiced by men who are in position to speak adthoritatlVely. although their names may not be mentioned lends force to the state nents of Patrick T. Powers, who in sIsts that he arranged for meetings to adjust baseball conditions at the be- hest of John Kinley Tener. president of the National league.
 These statements have been denied, to be sure, butS this may be expected because of the unsettled conditions of affairs But despite the assertions and subsequent denia1s' the fact is patent that the condition which now obtains cannot long prevail without breaklng down the entire structure of baseball
 The National and American leagues insist that they made money The Federals proclaim to those who will listen that all is well and that they are satisfied with existing conditions But no business man or body of bus mess men would long hold on to a los ing proposition. It is known that some clubs in the National league lost mon ey; likewise in the American league; JaIso in the Federal league. According to those who say they are well ac- quainted with conditions. theresfs one course open, and that is to declare peace and sign the peace protocol with all speed.
 If the Federals and the major leagues are content with existing con ditionss it might be well for them to read the handwriting on the wall. which has appeared in the collapse of minor leagues the country over. It is a well known fact that with the pleth- ora of minor leagues to draw from there is dearth of real star players. As the matter now stands, supporting some of the minor lea N.es is really a question of civic pride. Little money. was made last year. and the coming season bids fair to be- equally non productive from monetary stand- point.
 Frank Dillon, the manager sof the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league. believes that an agreement will be reached by the start of the 1916 season. He said that the players who jumped contracts will receive a clean bill of health, and there will be no talk of outlaws. He says the set tlement will be similar to that of the differences between the National and American leagues. He said, further morey that some of the Federal league f1nagnates would receive National and American league franchises.
