HARVARD IS TRYING
OLD YALE GRID IDEA
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Harvard, in drafting Canadian COL
legians to teach the lateral pass, has
torn leaf from Yale's book of almost
forgotten experiences.
In 1914, when the late Frank Hin.
key. Yale's great end, was head coach
Of the Blue, he electrified the foot ball
world by springing the lateral pass,
which had been secretly taught that
Summer by college stars from Cana
, dian teams.
Yale, with a feet set of backs, swept
away all opposition in the early season
games. There seemed to be no defense
against the play. Even Princeton
could not stop it, and in the me-
morable game opening the Palmer Me-
mortal Stadium, Yale won, 10 to a.
But Harvard, with the aid of one of
the greatest scouting systems ever de-
vised. solved the secret. and the fol.
lowing week overwhelmed Yale at
New Haven, 36 to 0.
Reggie Brown, one Of the late Percy
Haughton's right hand assistants, who
secuted Yale that season, was mostly
responsible. The Harvard line was
especially coached to outcharge the
Yale line. The Harvard forwards got
the jump on their opponents, and the
lightning-fast Yale backs never got
started.

places or the mythical eleven. The
others. Harold Almquist. Minnesota
quarterback and leading scorer of the
Big Ten, and Louis Gilbert, one of
the best kickers and passers to wear
the maize and blue of Michigan, are
considered probable choices for the
eleven this year.
The game will mean much to the
complexion of the Western Conference
race. II the Gophers win. they may
claim tie for top honors, even If
Illinois disposes of Ohio State at
Columbus. If Michigan wins and
Illinois loses, the Wolverines will go
into a triple tie with Minnesota and
Illinois for the title.
Coach Wieman has been teaching
his men numerous tricks to stop the
pile.driving Gophers. but what they
are no one but himself, his team and
his assistants know.

team left today for Ypsilanti. Mich,
