 HAVE STRONG TEAM
Yale Only Eleven Able to Break
 Through Powerful Line

 New York, Nov. 17 LPt-Much has been written about the gridiron prowess of Gcorgias bulldogs this season, but it mostly concerns the team as whole and its record of being the only major outfit neither beaten nor tied so far.
 There is dinstinction enough in that but the individual reasons for Georgia's success, including victory over one of Yale's greatest post teams, are equally as notew orthy.
 The Southerners boast a power full line, flanked by two crack ends in Captain Shiver and Nash, rated by critics among the best in the country. Only Yale has been able to break through the line for a touchdown so far this season Not q southern foe has been able 10 cross the Georgia goal and only one southern team, Alabama Poly, has tallied as much as field goal.
 An attack powerful enough to run
 
 opponent evidently has the well known punch. A substantial share of it is provided by McCrary, one of the outstanding fullbacks of the year, along with at least two other stars in Johnson and McTigue.
 It has been frequently asserted that Yale outplayed Georgia al though losing to the Southerners. Many critics labelled it lucky vic tory but it seems that the Georgians, although outrushed, won by getting the jump on the Ellis and knowing how to hold on to the ball. Here, for instance, Is a paragraph from the Associated Press story of the game:
 "Yalc's attack, led by the brilliant running of Bruce Caldwell, was bet i ter than that of the winners during most of the game, the Blue making ! seventeen first downs to six for Georgia. Seven costly fumbles on ] Nale's part. however, offset it's attack while Georgia went through the game without a tumble. Caldwell gained the most ground but he was l unable to make q needed yard for q touchdown to win the game in the final period. McCrary was the best of the Georgia backs while Scott, for Yale, and Captain Shiver for Georgia played well at the ends" It is another instance to show that they don't pay off on first downs. Yale was outrushed last Saturday by Princeton but the Ellis aren't offering any apologies for 1 that.
 i Harvard, in drafting Canadian col 1 legiaMs to teach the lateral pass to the Crimson backs, has torn a leaf from Naios book of almost forgot ! ten experiences.
 | In 1914, when the late Frank Hinkley, Iale's great end. was head coach of the Blue, he electrified the football world by springing the lat | eral pass, which had been secretly taught that summer by college stars 1 from Canadian teams.
 Tn" Blue. with a fleet set of backs, swept away all opposition in l the early season games. There seems to he no defense against the play. Even Princeton could not stop it and in the memorable game opening the Palmer Stadium Yale won, 19-14.
 But Harvard with the aid of one of the greatest scouting systems ever revised, showed the secret that the following week overwhelmed Yale at New Haven, 36-0. 'I}oggie' Brown. one of the late Percy Haugh- tons right hand assistants, who secuted Yale that season, was mostly sponsiblc. The Harvard line was especially coached 10 outcharge the Yale lue The Crimson forwards got 'he jump on their opponents and tbe ligh'Hlug-fast Yale backs never got started.
