NE¥ BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCIOBER 20, 1919, SATURDAY’S FOOTBALL GAMES AFFORDED FOLLOWERS A GOOD LINE ON STRENGTH OF EASTERN ELEVENS—BASEBALL PLAYERS ARE TALKING — . GRIDIRON CLASS 1S | BEING BROUGHT OUT Good Line on Real Strength of Eastern Teams Gained Saturday Time was, in eastern football yea ago when, excepting in the gam. among themselves that ame at the end of the season, wherever represen- tatives of the “Big Four” were en- gaged against a so-called minar col- lege eleven, one knew in advance that the “big” team would win. But the ©ld order has changed, and football is the gainer by the process. With the charm of uncertainty as to the result adding spice to the game throughout the fall, football interest is bound to ®8row greater with the public and with ‘the colleges themselve: Boston college’s astonishing victory over Yale on Saturday is proof that ‘“you never can tell” in foatball, just &S you never can be sure in baseball. It was the season’s most conspicuous Teversal thus far and a particular sad blow to Yale in view of the fact {that Harvard had previously defeated Coach Cavanaugh's eleven by a score ©f 17 ta 0. It was a great day for! Fitzpatrick and Heaphy and the other | men from Boston, who have been so well drilled by Cavanaugh in aggres- sive football. Tt looks as if any of ‘the experts who were so prominent in bringing about Yale’s discomfiture, and Cavanaugh, who had so much suc- cess at Dartmouth, looms up more than ever as one of the game’s great- est mento Yale played with fine spirit on Saturday, but Baston match- ed it in that respect, and the returns show that Cavanaugh's cohorts knew Just a bit more football. Loss of Murphy a Blow to Yale. It was a distressing day on Yale's football calendar, not only in the de- feat itself, but in the loss by inju of Thorne Murphy, who booted Yal only score across the uprights and | who, during his short appearance in the lineup, did so much to instill additional spirit among the wearers of the Blue, As a field general, a drop kicker and an open field .runner Mike Murphy's son has given the greatest of promise, and Yale can ill spare him. Yale has recovered from reverses in ootball before, and there is no rea- | son to suppose that she cannot do so again. In other seasons, the Blue has been heaten in mid-season game: only to come back, and, when rated a sure loser, win its most important | games of the year at the end of the season. Saturday game showed, however, that she has much to do before she can repeat that feat this fall. Yale was outplayed Saturday in | aggressiveness of attack in the use of forward passes, and in the punt- ing department. Her coaches must rb the tendency that the game re- vealed to incur penalties. Yale's line | will improve when Captain Callahan is able to return to it. Saturday’s game showed how much he is needed there, as Acosta, quite obviously, does not at present belong in the pivot po- sition Harvard, too, had a bit of a sur- prise on Saturday, despite its victory ovcr Brown. The Crimson and its supporters had expected a victory by a larger margin than a touchdown and goal. For the major part of | the game, after the first few minutes of play, Brown's fine and sturdy de- fense held Harvard safe throughout. Harvard's defensive work was good, too, the main criticism of the team being with regard to lack of sus- tained power on attack, fumbling and a faltering of the interference when a chance to score was imminent. Har- vard will have plenty of leisure to correct those faults in the next two weeks, as the games against Virginia and Springfleld should not bother her greatly Practico Game For Tigers. Princeton had an easy afternoon's workout against the light Rochester eleven, and, had she so willed, could probably have increased her total of thirty-four points, but the Tigers’ line still needs bolstering up. It was the good individual work of the Prince- ton back rather than the offer strength of the line, that was resp sible for rolling up the score for the Tigers. This will have to be a stren- uous week at Tigertown. Colgate is to be met next Saturday, and a meef- ing with Colgate at this time is enough to worry any cleven In fact, the ease with which the eleven from Hamilton turned Cornell back by a score of 21 to 0, coupled with its defeat of Brown the preced- ing week by a score of 14 to 0, must galn the highest respect for Bankart's | from any viewpoint. Colgate at power on the offensive, in- eluding a brilllantly developed for- ward passing attack, which was the main factor in Cornell’s defeat. Cor- nell had little chance to what it could do in carrying the ball, for Colgate hogged the lcather during the major part of the contest, and even when the Ithacans did mana to get pos ion, not even Shiverick could elude the watchful Colgate f wards.
