THERE were two features of western
L football this season of far more thar
passing interest.
One was the brilliant playing Of Chic
Harley of Ohio State. who not only proved
himself to be one of the games leading
stars. but who also accomplished more fol
his team than any other individual of the
year, with the possible exception Of Pollard
of Brown.
It is only about once every decade that
an entry accomplishes such phenomenal
achievements in game after game. Those
who star In one game are many But to
play with spectacular effect straight
through the schedule is another matter.
Harley's work this season was second
to that of no man in American football
The long list of his long runs in one big
game after another revives the memory OF
Heston.
Another leading feature was the mighty
power OF the Minnesota team Mt the end
of the campaign. After n poor display
against Illinois, Minnesota finished with an
eleven that many believe to be the strongest
in tho country, East or West. Wisconsin
and Chicago, for example, were two stand
ard western teams. Yet Minnesota beat
these two elevens by the scores of 81 to
and 40 to 0, margins too overwhelming for
anything but an unusual eleven to roll up.
Probably three-cornered battle among
Minnesota, Brown and Pittsburgh would be
a dull affair! And then again. probably 1t
wouldn't.
An Even Melee
Brown beat Yale 21 to 6: Yale beat Col
gate Yet there are a surprisingly large
number of football insiders who believe that
Colgate will win from the Providence lineup
on Thursday, and thereby end its champion
ship dream
We have run across as many favoring
Colgate as we have favoring Brown to finish
on top.
both teams. 'There is one thing" he says,
(which a good many persons overlook. We
were in far better shape for Colgate than
we were for Brown So the Yale games
against the two teams are hardly to be
taken as complete tests. Brown had fine
eleven, but in my opinion Colgate had one
of the best teams l ever saw
Back to Stay
with Tad Jones and ten of his regulars
on hand at ELI Town next season, Yale has
come back to stay
Jones, by beating Princeton and Harvard
his first season in camp, has proved his
rare effectiveness and has shown beyond
any debate that Yale at last has found-the
man she was after to lead her back to the
Promised Land.
The one man that Jones will lose is Harry
Legore. one of his stars. and possibly Cap
tain Black but there will be an abundance
of fine material on hand to continue the
system which began with such a rush.
As Haughton returns the bulk OF his
young team with material in bulk, the next
November battle between these two in
structors even this far ahead holds out
promise for a spectacular afternoon.
Haughton's work and his long record are
too unusual for one defeat TO leave any
dent in his fame.
Any coach who can hold Yale to one

1853 hours, and without food or wat
er the entire seven days, two dogs
belonging to two boys OF RosedaIe
dug themselves out and have returned
to their homes after being given up
for dead.
The boys. with their dogs, were
chasing rabbits about a blum when
they ran a bunny into q deep hole
in the ground. The dogs followed the
rabbit in and there was caYe-in.
The boys came up and dug to rescue
the dogs but when they cult al
nightfall they were still many feet
away,
The next day, ina CHING the dogs
had persisted from suffocation, they
were given up for dead. Six days lat
er the boys were astonished to see one
of the dogs appear at home, weak
from lack of nourishmenta and scarce
" able to walk. His nails literally
were worn on from constant digging!
I The boys then went to the cave-in
and dug fnsthe hope that they could
save the other dog. After digging.
about two feet in the earth they heard
means and soon the other dog was
rescued after he had dug himself
that close to liberty.
Neither of the dogs would eat at
first and would only. drink milk. Then
they began to seek food and ate it
rayenously. 3B
