Harvard than against team that uses
the more open style of play. From tackle
to tackle Indiana is strong. This is the
most necessary thing against Harvard's
style of play.
Ross and Goodman, centers, appear to
be the best men playing that position at
Indiana in a number Of years. Both are
fast and play a good game at open CEN
ter Unfortunately, Fleming, a big 209-
pound guard, was injured and may be
kept out of the Harvard game. Cox was
sent in. Cox is a former Indianapolis
Manual Training athlete and his play
at guard would indicate that the
loss of Fleming has not weakened the
Indiana team. McCaw, a veteran line
man. is in Indianas other guard. He is
one of the best in the West. Clay and
BOggs were also used
Leonard a big. rangy tackle. is the
type of lineman who would hold his own
against any opponent When he charged
against Kalamazoo he opened up great
holes on offensive and the Michigan backs
always found that Leonard was too
strong for them on defense. France and
McCoOl both worked al the other tackle
job and both are linemen OF exceptional
ability. IT will not be the Indiana line
that will worry the coaches this week.
With the fast running Eastern backs
to stop. the burden Of the defense rests
on the Indiana ends. Hanny Is the class
Of the four end men. Big, tall, powerful
and fast he is an experienced football
player There Is every reason to believe
that few will be the yards gained by
Harvard on Hanny's side of the line. Not
only that. but he is a wonderful man at
carrying the bail and he win give any
Of the Harvard grid men trouble in
stopping him. Eberhardt was used in
part Of the game Saturday. He is a good
relief man for Hanny. Donovan and
Bell worked at the other end. 1t is this
wing that the coaches must devote much
time to improving this week. Both Of
these men however, are big enough and
both are fast enough and by Saturday
either one of them will have been given
considerable experience in hating Har-
wards style Of end attack
RAYMOND GOOD
IN OPEN FIELD.
The best ends In the country would not
he strong on defense unless they We're
backed up by good half backs Burke and
Maynard appear to be Indiana's regular
half backs. Both are good defensive men,
although there were times when they
failed 10 break up the Kalamazoo for
ward passes. As a rule, however. the
Michigan onense was not strong enough
to worry these half backs. These men
are good at giving interference. but
neither is what might be termed an open
field runner when carrying the ball
However, Indiana has a man who Is
JUST that-an open field runner. Ray
mond, a tall. speed merchant, got into
the game in the second half and at the
first chance he had 10 carry the ball ne
twisted and lodged past and Outran every
opponent, showing what was the best bit
Of open field play Of the entire game. He
IS the type Of runner who is hard to
catch for he has unusual speed. He had
almost no chance To show his defensive
ability. Thomas, Bean and Bahr all had
q chance at half back and all are good
defensive men md on onense hit hard. but
none showed like Raymond in running
with the bah.

diana back field IS Capt. John Kyle A
real leader. he has the confidence Of all
the Indiana football men. the coaches
and the students. Kyle is the best fun
back In the State and one Of the best in
the country. He hits a line like a bat
tering ram. He tackles sure and hard
and gives his teammates all kinds Of
interference when Indiana has the ball
Harris worked for a time at full back
while Captain Kyle watched his men from
the side lines
The quarter back Is the position that is
worrying Coach Stiehm. Four men were
tried Saturday and while they ran the
team fairly well. there was a tendency Of
at least two OF these men to tumble. This
may not be their fault altogether. The
other backs may be to blame in part.
The defense Of the quarter backs was
never tested Saturday, for Kalamazoo
did not get that far down the field. There
was one thing that these men failed to do
and that was bring at least one punt
back for a long return. The Kalamazoo
ends were fast and went down under the
kicks in good style, but just the same the
twisting, lodging runs OF the wonderful
Mathys were missing. Burnett. wilkins.
Buck and Lands all worked at quarter
Saturday and one Is about as good as the
other Burnett started the game and it IS
possible that he may get first chance
against Harvard.
As a whole the Indiana team appears
10 be about as strong as last year, and
in a game whore the Hoosiers open up
a forward pass attack. as they will do
against Harvard. Indiana may prove far
stronger than last season.
There is one thing sure and certain,
Harvard will get a real battle next Satur-
day at Cambridge for the men have the
fighting spirit at Indiana and the
Hoosiers Will be hard to stop even for
the powerful Harvard defense.
