never had played football rose to the

birth of the flying wedge. AS soon as that
wedge reached its Trafford-he
touched the ball into play and disappeared
in the smashing mass which kept right
on. Yale's men diagnosed the play re-

wedge-but not until Harvard had reached
the Yale 25 yard line.
1T was a great play. but Harvard was
not strong enough to make the most Of

ORIN F. DELAND and the flying
wedgel What strange combina
tion-what a stir they created just
thirty years ago!-this chess master, who
never had played football but became
successful coach at Harvard and this
startling invention of his which opened
new era in the great game! Deland and
the wedge! For the football devotee of
another generation the name and the play
bring back pleasant memories of the most
singular coach in the history of the game
and the most singular stratagem in that
great sport of crowding stratagems.
For your old timer mention of Deland
and his epoch making play means bridging
the chasm of years and wandering back
in memory to that historic meeting OF
Harvard and Yale at Hampden Park, in
Springfield, Mass, on November 10. 1892.
1t was on that day of blue skies. at the
halfway mark between New York and Bos-
ton, that the chess masters invention was
flashed by Harvard against an astounded
Yale eleven. Down the field the Crimson
went crashing with the terrific momentum
of this first of all momentum plays.
Down the field Harvard went smashing
to glory for this strange coach who was
not even a Harvard man-this remarkable
mentor who had turned for the nonce from
his chessboard and his work as a pioneer
In modern advertising methods to test out
his theories of football and attempt to
lead the Crimson out Of the football wilder
ness. Harvard did not win that day. 1t
was defeated by to 0. but this setback
was regarded as mora victory for the

The New York herald., 1922-12-03

Eat first they showed slight inclination
to be patronizing toward Deland and his
IDEAS" he continued. "The old football
players and coaches joshed him-and then
they began to stop joshing. Deland had
discovered new possibilities in football,
new strategy and new strategems. The
others began to sit up and take notice.
The New York herald., 1922-12-03
The Deland Ideas Accepted.

Those in control of football at Cam
bridge became so impressed with Deland's
ideas that in 1892 they appointed him head
coach. Harvard had been beaten by Yale
in 1891 and the outlook was dark. At once
he introduced many novelties in the way
of attack. Harvard's opponents laughed
and referred to these new stunts as De-
lands checkerboard plays But Deland
was making football history and introduc-
ing formations on which a new type of
football was built. The flying wedge, of
course, was his masterpiece.
Descriptions of this play nearly always
that Deland divided his team into two
squads of five men, leaving the man to
touch the ball at the apex. AS matter
of fact there were two men at the ball
one to put it into play and the other to
protect him in case of tumble or any other
mishap."
Mr.. Camp took paper and pencil and
began to diagram the first use of the fly
ing wedge. Here is how the Harvard
team used the play in 1892" he went on.
LAS you probably know, in those days the
rule about the kickoff was very elastic
1t did not stipulate how many yards the
ball had to be kicked, so it became the
custom of the kicker to touch the leather
with his foot and then pass it back to
some other man who punted. There was
some advantage in that maneuver then.
At any rate in that game at Springfield
Yale won the toss at the start and kicked
aln, tHa
new trick then. Yale outplayed the Grim
son in the first half but could not score.
Just before time was called the Blue was
on Harvards 3-yard line, where c. D. Bliss
fumbled. Emmons recovered for Harvard.
"At the start of the second half it was
Harvard's turn to kick off. Yales linemen
were strung along the 55-yard line to meet
Harvard's expected V trick, which. by the
way, was invented at Princeton. But
greatly to the surprise of everybody the
Harvard men did not form the usual V
to put the ball into play. Bernie Traf-
ford. the Harvard quarterback and cap
tain-a great drop kicker, that boy-took
his place on Harvard's 45-yard line, mid
way between the side lines. Mackie of
Harvard was near him.
Five Harvard men fell back to one side
of the field four to the other They were
back of the 25 yard line. Aleck Moffat,
the old Princeton player. and s. V. Coffin
of Wesleyan, who were the officials, stood
with their eyes popping out of their heads.
They did not know what to expect.
Trafford did not put the ball into play.
He just waved his hand at the two sides
behind him-and on they came!
