Yale's Harvard Slump. Between the periods of 1911 and 1908, a matter of six playing vears, Harvard failed to score a point against Yale. During these six years Yale ran up 75 points against Harvard.

Yale’s slump since those anclent days of glory has been terrific. For Yale scored her last touchdown | against Harvard in 1907. Nine vears have passed now since the Blue at- | tack crossed the Crimson line, a | touchdownless period for Eli almost {as long as Harvard knew before P. D. Haughton registered at Harvard headquarters. Haughton's Supremacy. Haughton took charge of Harvard football in 1908. Yale has made eight assaults upon his goal line since | that date without crossing the line. The Harvard defence, since Haugh- ton arrived nine years ago, has held the Yale attack to three field goals 15 points. Haughton’s record against Yale is five victories, one defeat, two ties; 116 points against 15. Haughton has averaged a trifle over 14 points a season against Yale; Yale has averaged less than 2 points season against Haughton and Har- vard. The overwhelming margin here is easy enough to see. It took Haughton four years to get started— four years before his attack was able to score a touchdown against Blue But since the last scoreless tie of 1911 the Harvard attack has battered the Yale defence to a dark blue pulp. The Forty-Year Celebration. Harvard still needs two more vic- torfes in succession to tie Yale’s run | from 1901 to 1908. needs a good many than two hefore she can even up the entire count dating back forty years to 1876, TH two rivals saunte into a football ar foal to Harvard’s two touchdowns, which doesn’'t mean anything resem- bling the same count today. More Revenge. Having suffered Such abiding an guish for so many years, it is only natural that Harvard men should still be far from surfeited with revenge. Yonu wmight figure that after the 36-0 the 41-0 massacres of 1914 and 1915 their appetite for Yale gora would be well satisfled. Far from it. Haughton will hardly run up any such score this season, but he still ex- pects to win by a tidy margin, or, rather, by a safe one. It might be just as well. For Yale is on her way back, and from now out the Bulldog might not be quite so easily tamed Speaking of Coincidences—Which No One Was— In the way of a timely coincidence, it may also Be recalled that 1907 was the last vear Navy scored a touch- down against the Army. The Navy has won more than once since that date, but her victories have heen achieved by the fleld goal route in the main through the skilful toe of Jack Dalton, the Nebraska detec.

The regular players and sub- stitutes will be the guests of the oc- casion. A business and social session will follow the banquet. the election of a captain for next vear's team. At present there are two candidates for the place, Hibbard and McChristy: The former has'been & member of the squad for two years and has played wonderful football. In the point of service he is entitled to the captaincy but as he will lead the basketball team this fall, there some who feel that honors should be distributed. MeChristy has been a strong factor in the success attained by the team and would make an ex- cellent leader. FAVORS THIRD LEAGUE. He Must, Chicago, Nov. 21.—Ban Johnson, president. of the American league, “would not oppose the formation of a third major league, he said yester- day when recent gossip concerning such an arganization was brought to his attention. “In fact,” said Mr. rather like the idea.” As Mr. Johnson was the foremost foe of the Federal league, his atti- tude was regarded with unusual in- terest. Cities suggested in connection with a third league are Raltimore, Buffalo, Newark and Toronto, Toledo, Indian- apolis, Louisville and Milwaukee, The plan as at present discussed is to raise these cities to major league standing by placing them outside the draft.

The Texas association only had one registered athlete, On account of the Texas association failing to enroll more than three clubs the delegates vesterday voted to abolish the Texas association and place its territory 4m-~ der the jurisdiction of the Southern association. There were few changes made in the new constitution framed by the legislative committee, of which Jus- tice Bartow S. Weeks is chairman.
