; SPORTS. ot Yale-Harvard Game O CONDITION OF CRIMSON SHOULD SETTLE ISSUE , Fishermen Have Well Conceived ‘Offense and Will Give the Blue Hard Battle if Players Can Stand the Gaff. t BY LAWRENCE PERRY. ' OT alone because of its histori¢ values, but because Yale and Har- . vard are national universities in the sense that they draw students from every section of the country, the annual conflict between the Blue and the Crimson at Cambridge Saturday stands out above all games. ‘Extreme importance, however, attaches to Ohio State's game against Illi- mois at Columbus and Iowa’s struggle against Northwestern at Evanston. 1f both these western outfits win their games, as they well should, then both will have had the honor of going through their western conference schedules without defeat. It was Iowa’s misfortune not to have met as strong conference elevens as Ohio State, but early defeat by Oberlin and the fact that lowa has gone through a clean season, scoring a victory over Notre Dame, will incline many to bestow western laurels upon the Hawkeyes. In New York city Dartmouth and Syracuse will clash. Both elevens have been_defeated, but both play sound and highly interesting foot ball and he rivairy between the two completes a most_attractive prospect. In the south Georgia and Alabama, who played an interesting 21-to-1¢ game— Georgia winning—last year, will en- tertain Atlanta enthusiasts. Lehigh- Lafayette game should not be over- looked. It is by no means certalin that Lafayette will win this contest, though on form to date the ans should have an edge. Harvard’s Condition Important. In the Harvard-Yale game much de- pends upon the condition of the Crim- son. This season the team is.not the rugged outfit that usually character- izes Cambridge combinations. Yet it was called upon to go through one of . the most grueling schedules a Har- “vard team has played In years. It has been like hoisting great weights on a slender cable. In the Princeton game the Crimson was plainly below par physically. If they have not been brought back Yale is very likely to give her old rival a sound beating. But if the eleven is fit the game should be closely played. It should not be overlooked that Cambridge has an offense as difficult to stop and as well conceived as has Yale. In fact, what has been shown to date would " suggest that the Crimson has a better conteived forward-passing game, a game which suggests in some respects Notre Dame's overhead system. At the same time the intricacy and scope . of Harvard's running plays have been wider than anything' Ya' #.as shown. Against Princeton Ya/ best form of attack was from kicsx formation; she made some dazzling end runs in this way. But Harvard against the Tigers showed a high type of defense against plays launched from such a formation and while the Elis did bet- ter with the opposing ends than Prince- ton did against Harvard ends, still the Crimson may be expected to be seen handling Yale’s punt formation run- ning attack with considerable skill. She will have to, because those long gain plays of the Blue serve to bring the team at least within drop-kicking distance. Harvard's plays look to be better than the material. That is to say, !ge backs bave been equipped with meth- ods of getting loose which, were they Mahans, Caseys and the like, would have resulted in many more scores for toni- the Crimson than she has made this season. At the same time, Yale will have to be always watchtul and act- ve. Yale’s Line Is Superior. Yale's line from end to end should Pprove superior to the Harvard line in general offensive and defensive play. It will be stronger and more rugged, more like the old standard Yale lines than any the writer has seen in recent years. Harvard has one great back in Owens, but otherwise men such as Aldrich, O'Hearn and Mallory do not exist in the Harvard backfleld. Yale, however, will have no headier quarter- back than Buell, who Is_cool, re- sourceful and discerning. Both sides should prove a match In punting. Harvard's tackling and_interference as shown to date have been inferior to_the Yale brand. In sum, as sald, If Harvard is phys- ically below par, the game might be a rout for Yale; otherwise it should be | close, with Yale holding the edge. (Copyright, 1921.) WOMEN AND MEN FIGHT FOR COLLEGE PENNANT MODESTO, Calif,, November 18— Rivalry between Unlversity of Cali- fornia and Stanford University, brought to unusual pitch by the ap- proach of their annual foot ball game tomorrow, resulted in a clash of men and women alumni at a dinner of the two institutions here last night. Some one tore a Stanford pennant from the wall of the dining room, and Stanford graduates, both men and women, rushed the California alumni section. ‘Tables were overturned, dishes scattered and several women roughly Jostled before the Stanford contingent recovered the pennant, which had been torn to shreds.
