This is the dream Steve ; Scene in Recent Army Game | New York, 23.—The eves of the world are now centered on the Army- Navy game, to be played at the Polo grounds here Nov. 27. At the start of the season Annapolis was repre- sented by a very weak eleven, ‘but since then the coaches have made strenuous efforts to put forth a strong team in their final and big game of the season. The Army team, strong at the start of the year, has improv- ed right along, and football exper say the West Pointers will win ea: ily from the Middies.

This is the dream the Halfback had when the final game was done; The back who had through a rough campaign with many a brilliant run; The back who had shattered many a line and fought with a. tiger’s soul Who had ripped and smashed and hammered and slashed his way te the distant goal.

The System without the Material, of course, won't carry very far. But sed | it hurt the | [HOLTMAN ] outclasses the Navy, it is bear in mind that this is game of the year that the Navy points to, and the same applies to the Army. Wherever the responsi- bility lies, the Naval academy tea: this year has not played real foot- ball, nor are the comditions such as to expect that the team will suddenly come to life and play a wonderful game against their rivals, a hope to which some of the Navy people still cling.

The Army team is in fine condition, and every man is confident of taking the Navy into camp by rolling up a big score. The probable lineup of the two elevens is: Naval Academy —Von Heimburg, left end; Ward, left tackl Kercher, left guard: C.

Here are six prominent elevens representing three fairly prominent sections, and none of the six has lost a game. If any alert figurer can devise an American cham- pionship or a sectional championship from this lovely little muddle he is entitled to ecstatic applause. and On How About Yale? Light years without a touchdown ——— against Harvard—six years without a victory over Harvard—5 points in the | last four years against 112 points for Harvard— If this isn’'t sufficient to start Yale upon another track, she might also look back upon her season’s record of four victories and five defeats—a record of but two victorles out of seven contests after the first two easy practice games had been played. Yale is taking the Big Dip that comes to all who follow a sportive ex- istence very far. But this Dip is like- 1y to h_ecome a Habit unless the right coach is found to establish the coach- ing depotism that Yale nceds. Haughton's Aim. Harvard went for ten year 1902 to 1912—without scoring a teuchdown on Yale. It took Haugh- ton four years to break the spell. It has been elght years now since Yale scored a touchdown on Harvard, and Haughton hopes to add at least two more touchdowns to even things up. Considerable ambition—with only two years to rTun, Thankful? Aye, ce it is so I's not in jail: Since it is no I'm not in And since I did not plunge on Yale Or even launch a piker's bet, I see no reason why I should Not render thanks—and knock wood. on While Harvard has lost Mahan, the cheering at Yale and Princeton is not as loud as it might be in the thought that Haughton still has sev- eral years ahead before he graduates and retires, The Record Crop. The job of selecting the first two or three football leaders may be a hard one, but it is simplicity plus pured with the job of awarding luurel to football’s cellar champ. Here the record crop exists. With the Navy, Michigan, Penn, Yale, Car- lisle and seven or eighteen others to select from, a cellar championship debate could he extended over the holiday season into spring. com- the “Harvard was stronger on Saturday than Cornell was."—Exchange. But who was stronger upon the Saturday when Harvard happened to play Cor- nell? { ton’s CHANGE IN COACH WHAT YALE WANTS Undergraduate;?-{am Man Like! Haughton New Haven, ale grad- uates who have contended for some time that Yale must make a decided change in the management of her ath- letics, especially her football, are dis- cussing the stand taken yesterday by the undergraduates through their of- ficial organ, the Yale New Yale must find a man to take charge of athletic affairs that will out-Haughton Haugh- ton is the demand heard on every side. The attitude assumed by the under- graduates is flattering in the extreme to Harvard's head coach and places the credit of the victory of the Cam- bridge college on Saturday at Haugh- door. The selection of a man like Haughton to be head coach at Yale means that future Yale football captains will be shorn of some of their power and that in the event of such a step being taken graduate advice | will be more often followed in de- veloping teams than it has been in the past. Former football players of Yale, especially those who played on the Yale gridiron when Yale haa | things pretty much her own way, have | insisted all season that it was not so much that Yale lacked players as ef- | ficiency plus the old time spirit that ' made teams in former days fight and ' win against powerful odds. It was pointed out by these same men in dis- cussing the situation yesterday that the victory over Princeton was a re- sult of a resumption, near the close Nov! | of the season, of that old Yale fighting | Yale's showing spirit that was injected into the team at the eleventh hour. There is no denying the facts that in football has been poorer and poorer for the last few vears., always excepting of course amn occasional spurt, and that there has been more and more dissatisfaction among graduates and undergraduates and among those most closely allied with the team itself. This does not mean that Yale has not had good football coaches nor that Yale has not had good football captains, but the conditions have been all wrong, as they were at Cambridge during the days when Harvard was trying to get along with different men suggesting different remedies and each succeed- ing captain insisting on carrying out his ideas. The result of all the talk will he that a committee will he appointed to | look over the fleld and'#£ possible find a man with some of the.ol time Yale spirit in his makeup who also has kept up with the times. If such a man be round he will be put in charge and will assume the reins of authority. Here- tofore a head c ch at Yale «n't had either the power or the backing to say what should be done and how That condition of affairs has not been in evidence at Harvard since Haughton demonstrated to the satisfaction of the officials that he was the man for the place. It's up to Yale now to find some Yale man who will measure up to his specifications and then give him a chance. The comment of the Yale New: Haughton and the call to Yale uates to follow the example of Hz: vard and get another Haughton for Yale is in part as follows: “One of the beauties of a post-mortem review of a football game is the opportunity that it affords for calm and dispas- sionate reflection. Our reflection since Saturday leads us first of all to con- gratulate Capt. Mahan and his team They played a magnificent game from art to finish. On their toes every minute, quick to take advantage of every mistake that their opponents made, fierce on the defensive, baffling and powerful on the offensive, they deserve all the credit that has been and will continue to be showered upon them. “But reflection has also led us to attempt to answer that question which all losers invariably ask themselves ‘How did it happen Our answer is the answer that has been featured in the headlines of every newspaper ac- count of the game—the efficiency of Haughton. “Yale has now played against eight Haughton football teams. Against those eight teams Yale has scored just 13 points—three field goals and two safeties. On the other hand, those eight teams have scored 118 points against Yale. This is a significant rec- ord; but it is the more significant when one considers that in the twenty- five years which preceded Harvard won only three games to Yale's six- teen, and scored in all only 65 points to Yale's 270. “The conclusions which one inevitably draw from these past ords are abvious. One of the most important, however, and one which Yale graduates in particular are apt must rec- ! to overlook, | from | stopping | men | and | their { Now is the time to do it that Harvard a is the fact 1883 to 1908 w different proposition than Harvard from then on. Yale's poor showing against Har- vard in those last eight years is due more to the fact that Harvard football has improved under Haughton about 100 per cent. than to the fact that Yale football ‘is not what it used to be. The trouble Yale football is just about the same as it used to be | ’and as such Yale is not able to romp away with its early season games and the final Harvard game because those teams play infinitely better football than the teams Yale used to meet vears ago. The new game is partly responsible for this; also better coach- ing. Were is possible to match one of those earlier Yale elevens—one that easily defeated Harvard in its day against a Haughton product we wout be much interested in seeing just how badly the former would be beaten They had in those days just what we had today—good material and great spirit. Against Harvard, Haughton- ized, it is not a question of material; it is not a question of spirit. It is a question of coaching. The 1915 season is a striking proof of that. The spirit that won for Yale against Princeton a week ago was about as effective jn Haughton's marvellously drilled eleven as a wisp of smoke. The fought with as much spirit as they did against Princeton, but they were met with a spirit plus efficiency, the result was 41 to 0. “Our word to graduates, if they want to be of service to Yale foot- ball, is that once and for all they rid minds of the idea that Yale spirit and good material dre thingx of the past, and that they help us in finding a man or building up a system which can out-Haughton Haughton And unless we can do it now Haughton will con- tinue to beat us every year we send an eleven against him.” HOCKEY CLUB TO MEET.
