NEW YORK, Oct. 36.-John Har-
ward, alias Percy D. Haughton, today
hit high spot in the affections of the
eastern football followers.
While Harvard was enjoying coolies

into insignificance when placed along
side the blazing record Of Harvard
and Yale.
Harvard's regeneration, pulled of
at the expense of Cornell, team
which made the Crimson play dead a
year ago, has filed Cambridge once
more with the joys of being alive.
Percy Haughton has kicked a. little
ginger and some fight into the new
team he has had to build and he
seems just now to have uncovered a
worthy successor to Eddie Mahan and
Charley Brickley in Eddie Casey, the
sparkling backfeld man who plunged
through the Cornell line time after
time Saturday. But at Yale there is
also rejoicing. Crippled by injuries
and illness, the Yale team walloped
its old enemy, Washington and Jeffer
son, by an almost unholy score. And
the best part of it was that the Blue
uncovered a versatility of attack that
simply stood the visitors on their
heads.
They forward passed, they plunged
and they kicked and they did each
with about the same consistency.
1t was the first victory in four
years over Washington and Jefferson
by Yale and for that reason was quite
welcome in New Haven.
Princeton can consider itself lucky
that it is not making alibis for a ue
feat today instead of taking happi
ness in a slight win over Dartmouth
A fifty yard run by briggs to touch
down, was one OF those kind of plays
that occur only once in season. He
had only two men to avoid so long as
he maintained his lead of few
yards after he broke away after in
tercepting a forward pass.
His run was singularly free from
obstacles in the shape of Dartmouth
players.
