Great Plays in Record.
Many great plays have featured the
annual Harvard-Yale battles. What
Yale oldtimer will ever forget Wyllys
Terrys gallop for eighty-fve yards
against Harvard in 1888. Halfback
Metcalf raced seventy-three yards for
a touchdown in 1902.
Then there was Sherman Coy's re-
covery of tumble in 1900, followed
by his run for fifty yards and a
touchdown. That Coy was numbered
among the greatest Of ends.
Dudley Deans great 40-yard run
after picking up q tumble won the
game for Harvard, IL to 6. in 1890.
Both Of the Crimson's touchdowns
that day, November %. 1890. came
from long runs, for Jim Lee galloped
forty yards from scrimmage for the
first one.
In 1912 Bob Storer picked up a
tumble and scored after running
from Yale's 35-yard line. while Eddie
Casey was cheated out of 65-yard
run for a touchdown in 1915 because
some of his mates were offside or
holding on the play.
Made Kicking Records.
These annual Harvard-Yale scraps
have assisted in making kicking rec
ords, too. Out OF the mists Of '83
comes the tale Of that 45-yard drop
kick by Wyllys Terry against Har-
ward, matching that Of his team
mate, Twombley. for distance and ac-
curacy.
In 1901 Carl Marshall. the Harvard
quarterback, booted q field goal from
the 45-yard line. neld goal by o.
D. Thompson from the 34-yard line
gave Yale the victory in 1876. In
1900 Al Sharpe, now Yales head
coach, kicked one over the crossbar
against Harvard from the same
distance, while Charlie Brickley
slammed over two from the 34-yard
In ancient times Harvard-Yale con-
tests savored of championships. Now
all Is changed. Yale has twice fallen,
while Harvard has beaten but one
good team-Brown-and was tied by
Princeton, conqueror of Yale. But
the same interest is shown in this
1919 struggle and there will not be
any empty seat in the Harvard sta
dunn when the whistle sounds to-
morrow. .
Lock For Even Fight.
Those who have followed both
.
an even fight at Cambridge. Neither
team has much kicking strength. but
both are strong at rushing the bah
and forward passing. Eddie Casey.
the Harvard halfback, is among the
best running backs in the country.
-Fido" Kempton. the Yale quarter
back. Is close rival for running
honors.
Yale's forwards are said to be un-
usually powerful this season, while
Jim Braden's line plunging is quite as
good as the best shown by Hank
Of Dartmouth. Indeed, IL Yale sticks
to straight football, as is expected,
many football experts believe the Blue
will triumph on sheer strength.
Already clamors are heard both at
New Haven and at Cambridge for
sitter schedules in 1920. Harvard's
list of victories is practically value
less this year. Brown, beaten to o.
is the only real opponent of class on
the list and the Providence lads
played when weakened by injuries
While not quite so bad, Yale's sched-
ule is not one liked by the undergrad
uates. 1t is likely that next year will
find at least four hard games on each
schedule.
Harvard is expected to seek games
with Colgate. Williams and West
Point for 1920. Yale has practically
completed arrangements to play the
Army and may also take on another
strong foe, such as Lehigh or some
team in it's class.
But that's next year. Tomorrow
they must settle their dispute for 1915
and daring is he who would pick q
winner now.
