Boston, Oct. 24.—Putting a punch into the Harvard backfield is the task which Coach Fisher and his big staff of assistants are trying to complete before the Crimson faces the dan- gerous Dartmouth eleven in the Cam- bridge Stadium Saturday afternoon in the game which tops all other east- ern gridiron attractiens in uncer- tainty. Without this punch in the backfield the vallant efforts of an admittedly strong Harvard . line may go for naught. Lumbering methods by the Crimson ball carriers may prove fatal to the Harvard hopes of smothering - the Big Green from Hanover. For it is admitted that the Hawley coaching methods at Hanover — and the fact that Dartmouth has played ore more game than the Crimson— have brought the Big Green offensive along faster than the Harvard attack has developed. And to offset this Dartmouth assault —and the assaults from Yale and Princeton as well—the Crimson must have a strong defensive system. right At Princeton. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 24.—A cold, driving rain kept the Tigers indoors most of the afternoon yesterday. In the last few minutes of practice Coach Roper led them out to University field for a brief signal drill with the slippéry ball.

Recently little Amherst held Co- lumbia, coached by the great Percy Haughton, to a tie. 1t was a huge surprise. Columbia had looked for a rather easy game, Time after time Aniherst players broke through and spilled many of Haughton's choice formations. So proficient was Am- herst in this respect that the cry was raijsed that the Columbia signals in gome way had become’ known to the Amherst players. . The rumor spread so rapidly that the Amherst coach felt called upon to make a statement. Says the Amherst Coach “It's all piffle about Amherst being famillar with the Columbia signals, My players early discovered that the Columbla teAm was tipping off its plays by the way the backfield would shift. 'The forwards aleo kept giving away the direction of the play. Knowing these facts it was an easy matter for my eleven to stop most of the Columbia plays before they gain- ed momentum.” Faulty footwork had played havoc with Columbia in its carly efforts to stage a football comeback. No doubt Coach Haughton has since remedied the defect. During the world series it was my pleasure to act as host to Major Kavanaugh, famous coach of the Boston College team. When he was asked what were the prospects for a successful season, he replied: Speed Is the Watchword “Excellent. 1 have a fast team. Ferhaps it's a trifle light, but I have a lot of dangerous steppers. In an open field, once they get possession of the ball, the opposition has congider- able to worry about.” Speed is now the-cry of every foot- ball coach. The forward pass, open play, demands it. The sluggish eleven hasn’t a chance in modern football. In an effort speed up their teams develop footwork tnhat will dazzle the oppozition, coaches often resort to un- usual methods. . Rockne of Notre Dame is strong for dancing. Bill Roper of Princeton is ' firm believer in boxing. Other coaches lean to rope skipping and so on down the line. “Boxing not only develops speed but sharpens the eye to fathom speed,” is the concise way Coach Bill Roper of Princeton puts it. “Watch his feet,” promises to be- come a Afty-fifty proposition with keep your eye on the ball in modern football.
