Cant Count Harvard Out
With Haught0n at Helm

terial of this sort TO work with an in
structor of Haughton's rare ability can
do more than just a trife in a few
weeks time. A new backfield of this
type might easily look TO be ragged and
erratic in October, whereas by Novem--
Der it might just as easily be ground
gaining proposition that only an ex-
ceptionally fine defence could ever hold
in check.
Haughton is a coach with wonder
full lot of imagination. He has an UNI
usually efficient staff to develop fun
damentals, which gives him all the time
he needs to develop his men along
other lines. Here is an example from
last year:
Other teams before had used faxed
threats and delayed passes, but we
never saw an eleven that went through
all the motions so successfully as Har-
ward did. When Mahan faxed a kick
he did not, as most do under .he same
conditions, 20 through a perfunctory
routine of taking. He went through all
the motions as intently and as earnestly
as if he expected TO boot the ball fifty
yards down the field. Even his facial
expression was fixed for action where
good acting was required as we'll as
football ability.
A Belasco on the Job.
The thoroughness of Haughton's
methods has never been surpassed by
any instructor in the game. He was
Belasco on the job, overlooking no
minute detail that might fit in with his
general scheme.
This system was, Of course, easier TO
handle with such stars around as
Brickley, Mahan and Hardwick Tor use
in leading roles. But we have an abb
breviated bunch that by the date OF the
Princeton and Yale games Harvard's
backfeld will be q whale OF a lot
stronger than most casual inspectors
believe 1t will be just now. And II out
of this material Haughton can ind one
man who can both kick and run, his
offence built around the fake kick will
be almost as hard TO stop as it was last
year.
1t seems rather illogical to predict
euccess this season for Harvard team
facing Cornell, Princeton, Brown and
Yale in row. Yet il would be no
shock 70 see Harvard win two OF these
games, and maybe three. And that,
with the unpromising start, would be
no light achievement.
Just how strong Harvard's line will
be is now merely guess. Just at pres
ent it doesn't look to be on par with
Cornell's, Princeton's or Yale's. But
this Haughton system can build up a
line as efficiently as it builds 6. back
field And if Haughton can get both
combinations working well enough to
beat Cornell's strong team, Princeton
and Yale can look on ahead for break
ers and squalls unless their develop
ment from now out is extremely rapid.

CORNELL SCRUB
SENDS VARSITY
DOWN TO DEFEAT

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 19.-Crippled by
the absence of several regulars, the
Cornell varsity suffered the first de-
feat of the season at the hapds of the
scrub, the totals being three touch
downs TO one.
The first team was a poor imitation
Of the Cornell eleven, Gillies and Tel
ley playing ends in place Of Ryerson
and Eilenderger, out with minor in
juries. Taylor played tackle and
Huntington was at guard in Miller's
place. Van Horn took Benedict's half
back position.
Play was made difficult by the rain
soaked field, the downpour causing the
first football rally of the students 20
be postponed. Speed went around Gill
lies for q ninety-yard run, leading to
one touchdown. Shiverick's tumble
gave Hauek a chance TO score from
the Vineyard line, while Brets made
the last tally on line plays Shiverick
scored the 'varsity's touchdown on
march down the field.

real drill, he was not willing TO run
any unnecessary risks.
Munroe, Kennedy, Wilbur and Coch-
ran were on hand and showed not a
sign OF the injuries that confined them
to the side lines during the early part
Of the week. They are champing on The
bit for chance to pile into the game
against Union, which bids fair to be &
thriller.
The varsity lined up as it will take
the field against the Schenectady team.
Kennedy and Dunn were at ends, Cap
tain Healey and Wilbur, tackles; Dor
aldson and Cleveland, guards; Gold
berg, centre; Rsimondo, quarterback;
Munroe, left half; Joe Brown, right
half, and Cochran, fullback.
Joe Brown is making name for
himself in the back field. He is espe-
cially adapted for the work, and looks
like a real football player. Unless all
signs carry far to windward, Joe Will
give a good account of himself in the
Union game.
Munroe's ankle has responded to tho
rest cure, and no seems TO be ready.
He is a sturdy young man and depend
able at all times.
Wilbur, who IL advancing in tho art
of drop kicking. may have his chance
TO shoot at tho Union goal tomorrow.
He admits that he won't miss any
chances.

A full attendance of regulars, the
first in two weeks, and q creased Dali
added life and zest TO the indoor prac-
tice Of the Columbia football eleven
Yesterday afternoon. The boys were
driven indoors by the rainstorm, but
they worked hard just the same. The
rules have changed in football, and so
have coaching methods, it would seem.
Time there was when the teams were
driven ahead through q soaking rain
TO accustom the boys to handling q wet
ball. but that time has passed.
Nelson Metcslf is a man OF ideas,
and if his men did not work in the
drenehing downpour they derived all
the benefits Of working with slip
perry ball just the same. A bottle Of
vaseline applied to the leather will
make it perform all manner of unusual
stunts. The way the ball slipped
through tho clutch Of tho boys was
more than remarkable, and forward
passes dsrted away on flights that were
never intended By the throver. How
over, toward the end the mon handled
the creased pigskin with some degrc.
of surety, and are thinking Of request
ing the Union team TO play one period
With a buttered ball.
For the first time In two weeks the
full strength Of the varsity was as
semblsd for practice. All the cripples
returned, and worked hard through the
signal and dummy scrimmAge drill.

Teddie Cam worked out with the

SECRET PRACTICE SIGN
HANGS OUT AT LEHIGH

South Bethlehem, Penn, Oct. 10
The secret practice sign again was
hung out to-day at Lehigh. Wet
weather prevented the holding of the
anticipated hard practice, but never
theless one was held, even though it
was confined almost entirely TO signal
work. Once again the new plays were
taken up, and the men also were drilled
in forward passing. This would indi-
cate that the open style of game will
play an important part in Lehigh's
future contests.
Halsted's absence caused consider
able shifting, due partly to the keen
ness of the competition. Purcell was
sent to n halfback position, where he
may remain, though Hurley and Heur
did splendid work. Wysocki, at full
back, is making a favorable impression,
while Maginnes and Drummer are hold
ing their own. At quarterback Cheno-
weth and Harrington are doing brilliant
work.

SYRACUSE GETS READY
FOR PITTSBURGH TEAM

Syracuse, n. Y. Oct. l9.-The eyes
Of the football world will be centred
on the gridiron in Archbold Stadium
Saturday, when the Syracuse eleven
meets the Pittsburgh team.
Coach Hollenback gave the varsity
its last stiff practice this afternoon,
drilling tho men for about four hours
In signals and then sending them
through dummy scrimmage having
for its object the breaking up Of Pitts
burgh's plays.
The squad is in good condition, with
the exception Of Chief Newbury. the
big back. who dislocated his shoulder
in the Franklin and Marshall game.
The playing Of Captain White and
Trigg, the two star linemen, has been
impressive this week, both showing
much aggressiveness and skill in break
Ing up plays. The accurate drop
Ing OF Chick MsehAn also has featured
the practice. and It may be that the

Would You Rather HaUc Sixty Feet of
Ground While You Are LiUingOr
Six Feet When You Are Dead?
TALK NO. 2.

Have you ever Travelled through India
that charnal house of the world? Have you
ever tramped through Europe where the
graveyards of one little city after another
seem almost to touch elbows for a thousand
miles?
Have you ever stopped to realize that with
over SO per cent. of us, we are property own
ers, with only six feet of ground? Just
enough in which to lay our bOnes-iust
enough for our eternal sleep.
The earth is rich and fallow and fair, vet
the smallest part of one per cent. of us have
any of it.
For thousand years the peOple-the peO-
pie of Asia-have scarcely been allowed TO
own any land. The Kings of Europe have
given their lands away to a rich, sleek few.
We are the last freeholders in the world
here in America. To all of us is still sup
posed to belong that great inaIeinable right
of property.
Is il going to be six feet of ground for us?
For our children? And for their children's
children to come?
Are we to be the fOrebears of poor, splay-
footed race, who will stand shOck-headed be
meath the burning sun, who will toll for that
which does not come to them; who will
cringe beneath some masters voice and stand
with eyes bent down upon the only little spot
they will ever own, and know that even that
will be denied so long as their poor shadow
covers it?
You must know, YOU MUST KNOW that
the only difference between kingship and
slavery is little land

you?
