Hkacans Give A Fine illustration
Of the Most Elementary Football

"And again Casey carries the ball"
chanted Mr.. Shannon. This time Casey
skinned around the end after fake
play at centre and crossed the Cor
nell line for touchdown. Robinson
missed the goal by a few inches.
Score: Harvard, 9; Cornell, 0.
By this time it became apparent that
Cornell had nothing to uncover this
afternoon. They were tackling in a
sloppy fashion, and their evolutions
on the offensive were Of the most ele-
mentary sort. They had no tricks and
they seemed uncertain as TO rudiments.
Harvard scored again early IN the
third period. The Crimson eleven
worked the ball toward Cornelps goal
line, getting decidedly the better Of
an exchange of punts, due TO the ac-
curate and powerful booting OF Hor-
ween.
"And Casey carries the ball." chanted
Mr.. Shannon. The Harvard line shifted
quickly, and the Cornell defence spread
uneasily. The agile Casey tucked the
ball under his arm and picked a nice
hole through centre. He lodged three
Cornell tacklers and advanced the ball
thirty yards, when he was downed with
a thud that shocked everybody but
Casey. He rose, brushed some dirt
from his jersey and plunged through
for a yard. :,
"And Casey carries the ball"
chortled Mr. Shannon. He caught il
on a forward pass from Murray and
shot forward for seventeen yards, with
in two yards of the Cornell goal lines.
Then the ball was given 20 Horween,
who vaulted lightly over the piled up
Cornell defences for touchdown. Hor-
ween himself kicked the goal. Score:
Harvard, IS; Cornell, 0.
The third period ended with the ball
again in Cornell territory, and every
body pretty we'll convinced that Cor
nell had nothing and that Harvard had
everything that Haughton team has
for the climax of football season.
The depression in the Cornell cheer
ing section was evident. Many Of the
Ithacans had wagered extensively and
all had been forced TO give Harvard
odds. Il was a long way from. the
banks of the River Charles to the
shores of Lake Cayuga.

preparation as the first string men,
while the Cornell reserves were
ragged. Haucks, Of Cornell, fumbled
on his own ten-yard line and Sweet
ger, bouncing on the ball, carried it
over for a touchdown.
Minot, one of the second string
backs, kicked the goal. The score:

Field Goals and FumbleS
Feature Contest on
South Field
By FRANK O'NEILL

Columbia and Williams fought 10 a
scoreless tie on the gridiron at South
Field this afternoon in the presence Of
six thousand or more spectators. The
result in this battle, as in many others,
is not truly told by the score.
Williams had the better team on the
whole, but failed to develop a scoring
punch when victory beckoned TO them
from the three-yard line late in the
third period. II was then that Lewis,
one of the outstanding stars of the
game, dove into a twisted mass Of men
and was brought TO earth yard from
the goal line when a wide opening was
TO be gained by one step TO the side.
SO it happened that a stirring march
down the field-a march that was car
ried over forty-fve stubbornly con-
tested yards-was brought TO an end
ing.
The Columbia defence fought hero
ically all the way, but it seemed that
the power of the Williamstown men
could not be denied. For the moment
they welded themselves into a real,
fast-moving machine that ploughed
along, the man with the ball well COW
cred by a screen OF interference that
famed out to clip tacklers as they
came, and with the powerful Lewis
carrying the ball there was little hope
of preventing a touchdown.
But down deep under the shadow of
their own goal posts Columbia braced
Lewis was slammed at Donaldson, who
stood him up for slight gain, and an
other thrust at the same place was re-
pulsed with a loss. Lewis then tried
Captain JEFF Healy and wriggled toward
the line a few strides Snd was turned
over on the three-yafd line. Again
Lewis dove at Healy, and JEFF blocke
the opening nicely. There was a hole
in toward the middle. but Lewis over
looked il and was stopped.
Not far advanced was the fourth
period when Williams carried the ball
down to the 12-yard line and had first
down, but arain the Blue and White
stood ike a stone wall, and Mclean
resorted to the forward pass. Joe

Siberian dusk. He had no sooner
snatched the bounding ball out of the
air than he was off down the lines edge
with no one between him and Tiger
triumph.
Just where Dartmouth's protecting
defence was at this moment will never
be known, but the unchallenged fact
remains that none of it was in front
OF briggs. One futile pursuer in
green made a despairing dive for the
Tigers futtering heels as he crossed
the 10-yard line. but the plunge fell
short, and the 65-yard sprint had net
tea q touchdown and saved Prince
tons scalp. Tibbott kicked the goal,
leaving the score % 3, with neither
eleven able to score again in the twen-
~ minutes of play that remained.
Five years ago we saw Princeton
drop-kick bound along the ground and
finally flop over the bar for to 0
Dartmouth defeat. That bizarre play
came in a fash back to memory again
when the pass from .Gerrish deep in
Princeton territory bounded from the
hands or persons of two Princeton
men before it finally settled into the
waiting grip of briggs. 1t is not often
that a forward pass hips from one man
70 another, much less from two men
TO third, before il is caught.
But when Dartmouth comes to
Princeton, stranger things can happen
than any magazine editor would ever
accept as worthy fiction. If you don't
believe il, try a football fiction story
based on the incidents of 1911 and
1916

Result of Game Reversal of All
Predictions; Cornell Money BegS

But after the game, Casey, of Har-
ward, proceeded to the locker room
without a mark and just a trife an
moved because a little of the dirt Of the
field had stuck TO his jersey. He was
Ticking this off daintily, when Shive-
rick, the Cornell quarterback, passed
him with a torn and bloody face and
the tears streaming out of his blood
shot eyes. The Cornell cheering section
was stunned.
The game was an absolute reversal
of all predictions. Up to the last min
ute Cornell money had gone begging
at 10 TO 8. The Harvard cheering Sec
tons, prepared for exactly the reverse
of what happened, went into Mysteries.
There is no way TO explain the re-
versal, unless you want TO charge 1t to
the preparedness of Pee Dee. IL is
true that Cornell did play poor game,
but this fact is probably due to the
shock the eleven sustained when it
found just how thoroughly the Grim
son eleven was prepared. To a late
hour the Ithacans were trying, without
success, to find an abb for their
eleven. Said alibi has not yet mate
rallied.
The Ithacans were joyfully vocifer-
Gus as the Cornell eleven burst into
the field in the middle of the gorgeous
Indian summer afternoon. Cornell
looked just as fit as they did in prac-
tice yesterday, when they went through
their preliminary evolutions. The Har-
ward side Of the field was anxious and
the cheering seemed to be wavering.
Harvard won the toss and chose the
east goal, leaving the Cornell eleven to
face the glare Of the sun. Right at
the start Harvard had the ball Oh Cor
nell's two-yard line through a punt
that was lost in the sun. Cornell punt
ed out Of danger, but the agile Casey,
of Harvard, aided by interference that
shattered the strong Cornell line,
worked the ball back.

left of his target. This play was
scored as bad generalship, but II 1t
had been properly executed Princeton
should have had an easy score, as no
one was lc<king for any such turn.
The feature of the day, outside Of
Driggs's long sprint TO glory and the
power Of Dartmouth's backs, was the
punting duel between briggs and
Thielscher. The kicking game was
we'll played by both elevens. Out Of
thirty-six attempts there were only
two or three poor punts, where in the
main they rose in high, drifting spirals
from forty to fifty yards down he
field.
Dartmouth had fine back in young
Jackson Cannell 70 retrieve Driggs's
punts, but Princeton covered her kicks
better than Dartmouth covered hers.
The kicking game was PrincetOn's
main defence against trouble. briggs
had a shade over both Thielscher and
Gerrish, and beyond this Princeton's
ends and tackles romped down the field
in a swarm. Where Eddy and Ames
al least had chance TO start on their
way back, young Cannell, despite his
speed and general alertness, was con-
tinually smothered and bowled over
before he could lift a hoof for a run
ming start.
There were frequent intervals when
both elevens INDUCED in a continued
punting spasm, and at the end Prince
tor had nearly always gained valuable
ground, forcing Dartmouth's attack TO
start from some place back of mid
field, where its power was generally
spent by the time it had arrived at the
danger zone.
Without a beautifully rounded kick
ing game, a game protected in every
way, Princeton would have been up
against greater trouble than even her
strong defence could have stopped. The
work of her ends here-Highley, Will
son and Funk-was exceptionally good.
There was no great differences in the
play of the two lines. Dartmouth
looked stronger, but it must be re-
membered that Dartmouth was stop
ping Princeton's backs, while the Tiger
line was facing Gerrish, Thielscher
and Canneu. Quite a difference. We
have seen good pitching that didn't
look so good when facing Cobb, Craw-
ford and Veach.

Schenectady, n Y, Oct. 2S.-New

Dartmouth Outplay
ing Princeton When
Intercepted Pass
Brings Defeat
Bv CRANTLAND RICE

Princeton, n. J., Oct. 2s.-In a loose
;oip,ed world where only results are
rristered, and where only scores are
remembered, Princeton triumphed over
dartmouth to-day by the margin Of
Ito 3.
So far as football goes Dartmouth
ulsyed the sounder, stronger game, and
deserved the olive. But the drear and
ankempt Fate that has ridden with the
Green troop from Hanover to Nassau
rear after year was still in the saddle
waiting for the proper moment to toss
he keen harpoon Of misfortune into
Dartmouth's quivering flesh.
Dsrtmouth's powerful backs, Ger

arove their way through the Tiger de-
fence for many well gained yards, but
ever the Big Four in Green harness
vere not mighty enough to overthrow
A. ancient Fate that has apparently or
ssined an eternal Dartmouth doom on
Nassau sod.
Fate to-day selected the middle Of the
third quarter as the decisive moment in
which 70 drape Hanover in crepe and
sapplant the laurel with the myrtle.
Dartmouth at that moment was leading,
sto 0, through a field goal by Gerrish
Il the second quarter. The Dartmouth
stack, launched with both speed and
power, had carried the ball down into
Tiger territory.
A. the 3s-yard line Gerrish shot a
forward pass 20 Emery over at the right
SIDE Of the field. The ball. thrown on
low line, struck two Princeton men in

il was right here that briggs carried

might have possessed on the defensive
at the start. Horween, for Harvard,
outpunted Shiverick, of Cornell, and
the ball was kept in Cornell territory,
while the Ithacans seemed to be stupi-
fed by the sun glare and the glazing
preparedness of Harvard.
1t was Casey who led the way for
the first score. His run Of twenty
yards through a broken field brought
the ball TO within twenty yards OF the
Cornell goal line. Horween, on hurl-

The ball was given to Casey again.
He plunged through a hole between
the right guard and centre, carrying
the hall to within fifteen yards of the
Cornell goal and directly opposite the
goal posts. Robinson stepped back an
