NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1916, YALE NOT YET AT TOP OF ITS FORM -Great Reserve Power Is Dis- played Against Colgate In the waiting game which Yale rlayed against Colgate Saturday, the Blue showed an abundance of promis- i;lg football players have not yet found who evidently themselves. A powerful stubborn defense, such as was shown under the shadow of their goal post and an alertness ta benefit by their opponents’ errors were two meritorious features of the Elis’ play. But a haphazard defense midfield, ragged tackling and an inability to get together on the at- tack were other features which will have to be rectified hefore Yale's big games. It cannot be said that the Yale wings, Gates, Moseley and Comerford have reached the highest ‘)")olnt of their development in getting own in ' SOMETHING GOOD —AT— BARDECK’S HALL MONDAY NIGHT Hear MR.

LANDERS dcwn under Le Gore’s punts, for several times, Anderson, the agile Col- gate quarter, was able to run the ball back for gains, It was encouraging to partisans of the Yale eleven to see the Blue bring out a lot of reserve power toward the end of the struggle. At no time, how- ever, did Yale show a concentrated attack. The runner witk the ball did not have the protection of the inter- ference which the Colgate backfield men gave their players. It must be considered, of cotrse, that the Col- product as far as development goes. The New Yorkers were at the top of their game on Saturday, while Yale is just at a period of developments which aims at top form two weeks hence. Yale's Play in Accord With Plans, Yale evidently played the kind of game against Colgate that the coach- es planned. Tt game which the big elevens frequent- ly utilize against their opponents in mid-season. Colgate flashed the very best plays she had and flashed them in a manner was the old waiting which made Yale most of the time, appear far behind Col- gate in football knowledge. Yale | waited and waited for Colgate to make an error. But for three periods {Larry Bankart's carefully coached team made no blunders in execution. Not once during the contest did a Colgate player fumble the ball, which is a record for any team to be proud of. The team from Hamilton, nev- ertheless, was over-exhilarated at its | success in rushinz the Yale team | backward and in anxiety to convert | advances into points offended fre- | quently against the rules prohibiting holding and off-side play. The New York eleven paid dearly for these un- fortunate tendencies. Yale’s waiting was rewarded when the Blue crowded Colgate close to its own goal line. It was not until then that the Yale line displayed its real defensive power. The forwards charged so hard that the Colgate punter was forced to hurry his kicks and it was right there that Colgate made the errors for which Yale was looking. Two of Hubbell's punts were so hastened by the impending attack that they went only a few yards, and the disasters put Yale in a position to use the punch which carried them to victory. The final selection of the Yale team has not been made, for ther is prom- ising material for more than one po- tion. When the ultimate choice is {made and the coaches smooth out the ragged edges of the Blue's games, Yale will present a combination which should account for itself su- perbly in the season's final struggles. There is power there, and plenty of it. Legore an Asset of Value. There was great improvement in the line when Gates went to tackle in Charley Taft's place, and when gate eleven was very nearly a finished | went to center in place Leisenring. Le- gore's kicking was a revelation &n.(l his spirals went high and far. This player's open-field running was also encouraging and in Yale's repertoire later on there are sure to be plays in which Legore will have plenty of chance to display this valuable abil- ity. The big Yale linesmen did not get together at all in the face of Col- gate's great attack until their goal line was threatened, and then they showed the stuff they are made of and charged in unison. In spite of Yule's close call against Colgate, the followers of the Blue saw enough in- dication of reserve power to substan- tiate their early prophecy of an un- usually strong eleven. Hutchinson of the substitute To Drill Harvard for Foe. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 6.—Tomor- 10w Percy Haughton will again take wp his task of preparing the Harvard tootball team for next Saturday’s game against the Princeton Tigers. Work for this game has been going on for a week already, the Virginia match Saturday revealing nothing new in the way of football on Har- vard's part. Snow, the Hervard right guard, was banged up a little, but Harte was not hurt, and thar Wheeler and Sweetser came througn the first half without being injured makes every one at Cambridge happy. The regular line tad just enovgh work to round out the week’s drill, and the substitutes picked up the play where the regu- lars left off. Murray’'s fine work as field genemal was a very encouraging feature of the game, while Minot and Willcox showed extraordinary ability as open fieid runners. Because of Srow’s injury, Clark and Dadmun again will be the regular guards, although whether Clark will go back to the right wing will not be decided firally until later in the week. Harvard hes ready for Princeton, particularly its defensive game, which, since the Tufts match a month ago, has not been tested in the least. Princeton, N. J., Nov. ton will start hard in preparatior. for the Harvard game to be played next Saturday, and there is a little mora confidence in the Ti- ger camp over the probable outcome. Although there were many flaws in the Tigers' play against Bucknell, there were signs of improvement, too, and Coach Rush expressed him- self as more satisfied with the team’s showing than with the stand made against Dartmouth on the previous Saturday. A week of hard work is in order for the entire squad and some improvement should be made by next Saturday.
