and misdirection, the basis OF the
Haughton and the Rockne systems.
With this in mind, the combination
that whipped the Army was matter
of Wood and Orchard. When the last,
powerful Orchard started running the
Army defense had to close In and stop
him. When this happened the accu-
rate arm of Wood began delivering
passes. And then the Army had to fall
back and stop these passes as Orchard
opened up again. ably assisted by White.
Mays and Scheery, who always were In
there.
Ray Stecker gave great exhibition
of ball carrying. ably assisted by his
blockers. Just why the Army did not
try more of Stecker's sweeping end runs
in the last two periods is mystery, for
this was the thrust that brought two
Army touchdowns. One fact is that
after those two touchdownS the Army
figured the ball game was over and sent
in its second-string backs, never dream
ing that an apparently whipped Har-
ward team had so much in reserve.
And that Harvard team had plenty in
reserve. It had enough to hold its
own in every way with the Army team
that came charging back through the
last two quarters, giving everything 1t
had in q fierce determination to break
through. Both teams deserved the
greatest credit for the foot ball they
played, for both in this game were as
strong as any foot ball teams you ever
will see.
Several of us, who met the Harvard
team at Briarcliff and made the trip
to West Point in the Harvard bus,
marveled at the GOODNESS and serenity
of Casey and his men, who were as
free from tension as If they were about
to tackle Alfred. They knew what the
Army had-and they knew they were on
trial under a new system with new
coach. with fairly green line that had
two sophomore tackles where the Army
had Prince and Suarez.
But that Harvard line held its own
from end to end in as tough a line
battle as you will see this year.

day also was a surprise, when Iowa

Two Big Jobs.
"HERE are two foot ball squads,
among many others, that de-
serve all the praise that can be
handed them through the scant
medium of mere words for the jobs
they put over Saturday afternoon.
One is the Harvard team that spotted
a powerful Army array Is points and
then came from behind to win upon
the deadly right arm of Barry Wood
and the powerful driving legs Of Jack
Orchard.
The other is Columbia team that
gave a strong Dartmouth combination
the shock of its life with a decisive
victory in one of the finest foot ball
accomplishments you'll run across IN
many speeding year.
About Harvard first. Here was
team with a veteran backfleld, but
green line, facing its first test OF
Casey foot ball." a team that had not
been seasoned under fire with its new
system on trial. 1t was facing one OF
the strongest teams in the country
team with big, powerful line, with Two
strong backfields and equipped with able
coaching. Harvard saw this strong
Army team run roughShod over pros
trate Crimson bodies through the flrst
period and pile up 10 points.
TN the face of this whitening fire Capt.
i Barry Wood and his men not only
failed to break, but they formed Tor
the counter attack that got IA points in
the next quarter before the astonished
Army defense knew the shrapnel was
flying and the shells were bursting on
all fronts.
It was a direct, whitening fire which
Wood turned upon the Army team
where his own passing, Whites recelv-
ing and Orchards magnificent Dali
carrying turned a tide that looked TO
have anything but Crimson tint.
This must stand as one OF the great
est victories on Harvard's record book.
Harvard beat one Of the best teams this
season will know-a fast, big. veteran
organization that fought back with
something approaching savage fury to
wipe out that one-point barricade which
finally became harder to break down
than the Hindenburg line.
Casey Foot Ball.
EDDIE CASEY, who will make his
IL name as a leading coach before the

and variety in the Crimson attack, so
ably directed by Barry Wood. There
was speed and power, but there was
something more - there was deception

C0lumbia's Victory.

r GU LITTLE can now wear his brace
IL Of steel and leather In peace. The
crippled Columbia coach saw his
team bring about the greatest victory
of his career-one of the greatest any
Columbia team ever won.
Just year ago Dartmouth ran over
Columbia by a numbering score. 1t
wasn't foot ball game-it was a track
meet
Now Columbia comes back-not to
hold the score down-but to outplay
Dartmouth all along the line in a
magnificent exhibition that puts Column
