What VIII the new Harvard stars do
Saturday? Answer that question and
you'll know the outcome OF the Tiger
Crimson battle. The future for Harvard
resolves itself into a big 1F-what Ma
han viii do and how the new players
viii perform-but there's q growing
belief that Houghton will introduce 20
many new stars that the loss of
Brickley, Bradlee, Penpock. Hardwick
and Trumbull won't be such a serious
blow.
with the exception Of Capt. Mahan.
Coach Haughton, who is a wizard at
digging up new talent. had to develop
almost a brand-Dsw eleven this season.
but already the Crimson has produced
Wilcox, Gilman and Dadmun. Most Of
these players are backs, which gives
Harvard the most powerful back field
In the country. for what other set OF
backs compare with Mahan, Enwright,
King and Wilcox?
Princeton will have one great fear
The Harvard Cap
tain Is the most dangerous man on
the gridiron, with his wonderful speed
and change of pace. II Mahan sue
ceeds incircling the Tiger ends, who are
not over capable. Harvard will win. To
shoot Mahan loose Is the Crimson's best
bet But Mahan's kicking makes an
other peril for the Orange and Black.
II the Crimson line holds strong Mahan
should prove another Brickely. Some
think he's even better than the 1914

MATTY TAKES GOLF
MORE SERIOUSLY

Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 5-Now that
Christy Mathewson's best days as a
baseball player are over. he is beginning
to take golf more seriously. As a golfer
IL is doubtful IL he will ever attain the
heights he reached as a pitcher. but
Matty Is at all times a dangerous player
He hits a long low ball of the tee. but
his direction is a little uncertain, and he
still hubs his shot occasionally.
In his desire to get distance with his
wooden clubs, he pulls himself up when
at the top of his swing with a motion
that Is entirely ''out OF order" but his
good eye saves him from the fate that
usually follows this fault Most players
who do this either hit the turf behind
the ball or hit the ball on the upstroke
and spoil the shot. With the cleek and
the mid-iron. Matty gets long. high
ball, and takes the turf nicely. but the
supreme test of a golfer lies within fifty
yards Of the green, and here he falls
down. From this distance the cham
pfons hole out with almost mechanical
precision In two strokes, or three at the
most, whereas the average golfer is well
satisfied with a three and often takes
four strokes. Matty Is no exception 70
this rule, and loses more strokes either
on or lust OF the green than In any other
part of his game. His putting Is only
average, but this can be improved by MS
taking more care in surveying the con-
tour Of the green and more time IN max
ing his putt.

Card Against Princeton

Eleven Has Good Back6eld

Mahan. for support, viii have King
and Enwright. both wonderful backs
Kings speciality is line bucking. He
showed his worth I'm few gains last
season. Enwright, another strong line
breaker, is also tower Of strength on
the defensive. He played a marvellous
game last season as captain OF the fresh
men eleven. This year Enwright has
been bothered with a weak ankle. but
he'll be in shape for action against the
Tigers.
Wilcox, the Crimson quarter back. Is a
man OF speed. He holds several inter-
collegiate running records. and his neet-
ness makes him dangerous In football.
Wilcox has finally mastered the knack of
directing his team and picking plays.
The Crimson line this year. because Of
so many inexperienced men. has been
rather uncertain. especially on the de-
Tense. The Indians pushed the Crimson
forward back almost the length of the
field. and Penn State last week charged
through them for dig gains. This week
unusual efforts were turned on the line
and once again Houghton's coaching has
earned results. Gilman and Dadmun,
two big, husky fellows have been de-
yeloped to the point where they can act
as "steadies" for the other forwards.
Gilman is particularly effective checking
opposition rushes. while little gets past
the energetic Dadmun, who often leaves
his position to bring down the runner.
All told, the best cure for any Prince
ton overconhdence is the lineup Of Har-
wards stars-Mahan, King. Enwrisht,
wilcox, Gilman and Dadmun.

By playing and defeating Catholic
