Harvard supporters thought a powerful line would go into the struggle with a will to win that would be hard to deny.

Alma Harris put Monroe again in the lead when she scored from the field, but Miss Teplitz came through with a basket, to tie up the count once more.

Scott, Yale's end, does a clever act in recefving a forward pass when he closely guarded by a defensive Tt's one of the smart bits of foot ball that the spectator gets a real thrill from, though inclined to think the receiver is lucky. Scott isn’t lucky. He knows how. On the snap of the ball he breaks clear of the scrimmage line by using his hands to push off any opponents trying to delay or block him (Fif. 1). If unable to dodge or elude the defen- sive b assigned to cover him on passes, it would seem as though there was no possible way for him to catch the ball, as this back covers him by keeping close to him and slightly ahead (Fig. 2). But Scott has not been reckoned As the pass is thrown so he will receive it on the inside— in this case his left—Scott turns for the ball and leaps for it in such a manner that he places himself be- tween the defensive back and the ball itself. As he jumps he bends his back and extends his hands well out in front of him to make the catch. This prevents the opposing back from knocking the ball to the ground. (Fig. 3). The diagram shows the course Scott follows in beating his opponent to the catch. (Copyright. 1926.)

DEMPSEY EXPECTED T0 RETURN TO RING NEW YORK, November 6 (#).— Jack Dempsey will return to the ring this Winter, probably against the winner of a match between Paul Ber- lenbach, former light-heavyweight champion, and Harry Perrson, Swed- ish heavyweight, Tex Rickard expects. Returning from Chicago, where he plans to erect another “‘garden” which will accommodate 20,000, Rickard dis- counted rumors that a rival promoter would feature Dempsey in his come- back fight. He said that the former champlon was pledged to box only under his own direction, and that he had signed Perrson for the rest of the season. Negotiations now are under way for the match between Berlenbach and Perrson. SEEK MORE RIVALS. Dare Devil Dog Gridders, who yes- terday defeated the Try Mes A.

In this contest, while Nebraska did show great power, she did not have the unity and cohesive- uess nece to overcome superior team pla Since that d the Cornhuskers have made a marked improvement in attack, but they are still weak de- fensively as compared to Nebraska elevens of the past.

Harvard saw what I consider the last word in Dartmouth got a lead on us some- what early in the game by booting the ball over the crossbars for a field goal and held on to that 3-to-0 margin tenaciously. Harvard fought with all her might, but we could not overcome that lead for some time. Then it was only by a spectacular stunt that we managed to get in front. We were going well, though on the defensive. Dartmouth held the ball, ‘but we managed to stop her and Dartmouth found herself on our 45-yard line, with the third down facing the team and 7 yards to gain. It was an ideal place for a forward pass, according to the Dartmouth system, and Harvard set a defense for such a play. Sure enough, Dart- mouth attempted it. Jenkins, playing left end for Har- vard, - particularly sensed the play and the second the ball was snapped by center he charged with all his might in an effort to block what he thought would be a pass. He ran with terrific speed and almost reached the Dartmouth back who made the pass. The latter saw Jenkins and hurled the ball wi] great force. As he did so Jenkins leaped into the air. The ball went | tute tangle at Chapel Hill. Greatest Play I Ever Saw XIL—HARVARD AND THE BIG GREEN TEAM. BY EDWARD L. CASEY, (Harvard All-American.)

However, the really big battles in which local teams are involved are taking place on foreign flelds, with eorgetown at Syracuse and Mary- land at Yale. George Washington's contest s a amp Memorial game and many per- sons of prominence are to be present. George Washington, Catholic Uni. versity and Gallaudet were favorites; Georgetown was figured to have about chance with Syracuse, while Maryland was expected to feel the wrath of Yale for the past two de- ats suffered by the Elis.

To the attraction of a game between equally matched teams was added that of a spectacular duel between Wilcox of Purdue and Baker, Purple captain.
