Harvard May Spring
Surprise on Enemy

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. 22.-lt
leaked out from Harvard football
headquarters this afternoon that
Percy Haughton is likely to spring q
dark horse" on Yale next Saturday.
The player In question is Joe Ryan, an
end, who was a member of the great
Notre Dame eleven two years ago
and who established quite a reputa-
ton as an expert in forward passing.
Ryan played with the Harvard
scrubs last year, and did remarkable
work. While he has been playing
mostly with the scrubs again this
season. he has enjoyed the unusual
distinction of eating at the varsity
training table. Little news OF Ryan
has been permitted to leak out by the
Harvard censors, but the fact remains
that Ryan is playing a powerful game.
II Harvard In forced to resort to the
forward pass as a major attack on
Saturday, IL 10 pretty certain that
, Ryan will be injected into the fray.
To the majority of those who have
followed the Harvard practice this
season IL is a mystery why Ryan has
not been placed somewhere on the
team. He IL a natural player OF eX-
ceptional ability, and would Mt in well
with the Haughton system of offenss.
He IL very fast.
