He Was in Game with

Cambridge, NOV. ZU-hllIe was Vi.'s
q short stride back Of Mahan at the
running game. The Crimson PACK
looked to be far faster than anything
he showed against Princeton. On sew
eral occasions he sped through as
swiftly as even Mahan could travel, ana
on his fifty-eight-yard run he out
enrinted AT least two of Yale's fastest
athletes. King drew the longest run Of
the day on his touchdown, but in addi-
tion to this he was big factor in driv-
ing back the Yale defence.
Mahan crossed the Yale defence re-
neatedly. On his first two touchdowns
he struck lust where Yale wasn't. In
the first one he -sn around end
In the second he shot through the line.
No matter which way Yale charged
Wahan took another route. What IS TO
be done with O citizen Of this type
Not very much, according TO the score
Nal Scovil played a grand game Tor
Yale, "What a halfback this man
would have made on the Harvard
team" remarked sympathetic Crim,
son follower, as the Yale star struggled
forward seven yards on certain play
With three pairs of red arms attempt
ing 10 drag him down. Way and BLACK
followed Scovil in Yale efficiency. al
though Wilson did good work.
The result was bitter blow to Shev-
lin. While the Minneapolis wonder
worker could not be held responsible
FOR the result, with only nine days in
which 70 rebuild a team. he had hoped
81 least that Yale would make cred
liable showing and prove that last sat
urday's showing was no mere hssn.
Sheylin did the best he could. but the
best any ten men could do IN nine days
or nine weeks would not have been
enough to overthrow the Haughton sys-
tenn as il worked to-day.
On Yale's 20-yard line Watson for
ward passed to Coolidge. The ball
struck in his arms. bounded out, and
then before the Yale tackler near could
interfere Coolidge had reached up and
recovered the pass. and about four sec
onds after this Mahan crashed over
for HGrvard's fifth touchdown.
King recovered a lateral pass that
had been fumbled and ran fifty yards
on the most spectacular dash OF the
day, but the play was called back on
the ground that the pass had been for
ward rather than lateral. and therefore
was incompleted.
Lieutenant Vaughn Cooper. the old
Army coach, remembered as one Of the
greatest backfeld coaches OF the dec
ade. came all the way from FL Paso 10
zee the game. Al the conclusion of the
fourth quarter he announced his inten-
ton of returning to look ct the Next
cans again for welcome change.
Bad fumbles helped to run up the
score, but if Yale had never fumbled
at all the Blue could never have held
Harvard under 20 points.
Hamilton Institute is TO have a swim
ming team. At its head will be Teddy
Cam, the 100-yard champion and rec
ord holder OF the Public School Ath-
letic League in 1915.
The New York Athletic Club is look
ing for competent instructor TO teach
swimming to the general run of men,
bers and also to handle the racing con-
tingent. II the right man is found the
Mercury Foot squad should soon fear
no rival. There is plenty of first class
material available.
On the same day the Brighton Beach
Bath is giving a water carnival for
women in its newly inclosed pool, and
the long expected 2O-yard race between
Miss Olga Dorfner, of the Philadelphia
Turngemeinde, and Miss Claire CALI
gan. of the National Women's Life
saving League, is on the card.
