EDDIE CASEY EXPECTED ID -/ MAKE SOME THRILLING RUNS
Harvard Star Has Become Expert In Throwing Forward Passes Also and Will Be Closely Watched In
 Princeton and Yale Games

Boston, Nov. 1.-The faithful among the football fans can expect more than end runs from Eddie Casey, Sat urday, When the Naticlz Nemesis lines up against the Tigers, he will stand as . marked man, not noly for his sensati1 nal slcrting of ends. but for his da 1serous forward passing work, For Eddie has emerged from a. single branch of usefulness. and from now on will perform with yer Satility.
 Not that Casey has to do something besides end running to stay in the Hoobau hall of fame. He has been che star of every game the Crimson has played this season for just his wide end runs alone. But Harvard Is plugging far variety in its offence Ghees days, and to give the forward passing assignment to Casey from Eime to tim will further nonplus the opposing team.
 Casey has every trick of his peer less feIlow-townsnnan, Eddie Mahan. He is such a satisfactory succ cessor to AGahan that they call him Edward H. of Natick. Casey hasn't the all-round skill that Mahan once tOted for the Crimson, but In those lines for which he has penchant he is up to the usual MahaG rating. And that's apout all Harvard could ask of anyone.
 Casey is light for 9 football player TLe scarcely hits the scales for l60. But his end work for the Crimson requires .a Deerfoot and not a steam roller, so Casey fits well on the Harvard bill. The same change of pace that Mahan acquired, the same delft uso of the straight arm, and the saJne neat trick of wrig 2 ing through a tackler's grasp are all Lasey's. Watch him sprlntlng over the chaIked latitude of Soldiers Field and you'd think he was Mahan 1'eincarnate.
 Up to last Saturday Harvard made no attempt to veil what Casey in tended to do. When an end run was coming Eddie dropped back to re- ceive the ball, and the Crimson line solidified to protect him from tack 1ers. Once he was free of the end he elected to skirt, Eddie could be de- pended on to take care of himself Tn an open field. It always takes cou- ole of taclzlers to halt him, so elusive ln his person.
 Casey's fame is not confined to the current season. Back in 1916, when Harvard played it's last season of for nal football, he was then the wonder ] the pigskin universe. Throughout er season he etched q notable career ter himself, and through no fault of Virgnwn lost 8, chance to be the out loving .ng hero of the last Harvard gertfe game at the bowl.
 Harvard lost it's last Vale game by q score of to 3. And it lost it be- cause a 65-yard run by Casey for a touchdown was voided by holding in he line. Elusive Eddie got away for one of those end runs the Yale coaches dreaded and he was over the goal line for a touchdown when the referee called him back. One of the Crimson players-himsef a star of prime magnitude-had held up a Yale 2ineman on the play, and although the Ell who was fouled never had a chance of mailing Casey, the run for Q touchdown went into the discard.
 Eddie will get a chance at Yale once more, this time on the Stadium grid iron And he will try to show them he can make a touchdown any old time. The last time Harvard met Yale in Cambridge it was Casey's pal, Mahan. that ran like a whtppet through Yale ranks. It was NTahan's parting shot at football and AA cast ed Yale's team fl to 0. And Casey likes Yale blood as well as the next guy.
 Nobody knows exactly what Casey has in store for his football opponents this fall. But he certainly startled them in the Stadium last week when he commenced throwing forward passes. Up to then he was an end runner exclusively and nobody sus- pected he had anything else in the Tepertory. But he made two very pretty forward passes and the wise scouts fear that that isn't the limit Of his possibilities. Anyway, with just his end runs and forward passes, Ed die of Natick rates as the mighty , Casey.
