With the taste of a victory the Academy boys have higher ambitions of administering a _good sound drub- Dbing and on the other hand Bulkeley with the sting of defeat surging through their veins will fight harder and more desperately for revenge. The New Londoners plan to come here 300 strong in the cheering sec- tion, besides bringing one of the most thoroughly drilled_elevens the school has turned out. Head Coach Coleman has sent his charges up against strong teams since the last game with the Academy and he is being ably assisted by a squad.of former Bulkeley stars who have volunteered their services, which, according to reports, have been more ‘than profitable. Reports from thé' City Dy the Sea state that the eleven -has advanced wonderfully in speed. Knowing that the New Lon- doners will come here strong Satur day, Coach Overbagh of the Academy squad is drilling.the boys on new. for- ‘mations that they will spring on Bulk- eley, Saturday, which if worked right will’ leave the New Londoners in ' the wake of the red and white. Besides the springing of _ the new formation Coach _ Overbagh is working up . an impenetrable Interference, in _which depart- ment the Academy boys are showing Tfapid lines of advancement. ‘Ricketts, who slightly injured his kpee in Saturday’s game against the Vocational school, will appear in the lineup and be ready to plough" through the orange and black line for a needed tauchdown.

If this_were true, then surely the gloi would belong to others as well Shevlin. For it would be ridiculous to suppose that a man could come out of tho west, take hold of a demoral- ized football team and mold it into such a machine. The Yale victory was solely one of inspiration. A vic- tory in which the psychological played a big part. Yale won because Shev- lin had- instilled in her none too ‘well drilled players the indomitable spirit of conquest.

A’s Sturdy Fullback. So they won. Shevlin is not a team builder. He His Second Effort. He is the miracle man of the grid- iron, is Tom Shevlin. Twice in six years his alma mater has called him out of the west to lift her up from the depths, and twice he has answered her cail and lifted her to victory over Princeton. His work in 1910 was miraculous, yet many deemed it a mere accident. There can be no ques tion of his genius after Saturday. To appreciate the real wonder of Shey- lin'’s feat, one must understand ths football situation at Yale preceding his arrival. Not merely the situation as it appeared on- the surface—an unus- ually poor Yale eleven that was being trampled on by minor colleges—but the inside situation. New Haven as it was in the days that immediately followed defeat at the hands of Colgate will not soon be forgotten. The Yale campus was blue with the indigo tinge. Talk of dis- sension among the coaches and incom- petency of Frank Hinkey was rampant. The LeGore incident added fuel to the flame. Then came Capt. Alex Wil- son's announcement of the coming of Tom Shevlin and presto! all -was changed. There was confidence everywhere. The plavers dropped their plodding, hangdos ways: They came out on the field full of life and fight: The under- graduates, not actively engaged ih the game, assumed a different air. They 0 years: ago Colgate ' walloped Yale, and there was consternation in the Blue camp. and Jefferson played and" the coaches decided that soms thing was wrong. They tried to strengthen the team in 1914, but Bob team scored a victory.'and severe drub- bing. Yale merely ‘is used as an exampl of what can to a big college Wwhen the smaller fellows discover that she can be beaten. Penn fs in the same boat, but losing games has be. come ‘such’‘a‘ habit- on Franklin -Field that a victory over any eleven is just cause for a big celebration. ~Dart- mouth and Princeton also fell into the rut, and Harvard has been: dl lodged from the top of the hegp by Cornell. The emaller = collegee # have confidence in themselves and realize that they are just as good as the big ones. 3 There probably is a “big five” in college football today, but the per- sonnel has been changed. _Those who rule supreme now are Cornell, Princeton, Washington and Jefferson, Pittsburgh,and Colgate. These teams have gone through the season with- out a defeat until last Saturday. The mental attitude of the- players on & small college team was explain- ed by Tom Keady, of Leigh, one day recently. Lehigh almost beat Yale, losing out by the score of 7 to 6. It was a hard, but mot rough game, and the Brown and White athletes outplayed their opponents. “Several years ago,” sald Keady, “it was the idea in all minor colleges that Yale or Harvard could not be beaten. The players knew that they represented a school that had only four. or five hundred students, while the other had four or five thousand. They thought that they had to play the entire student body instead of 11 men, and the numbers, were t00 great. “At present they know that a col- iege with a million students can put but 11 men on the field, and the odds e even. They also realize that they know as much football as the other fellows and have an equal chance to win, That accounts for the success of the so-called minor college teams this year.” Another reason for the downfall of the “big six” is that the smaller col. leges got the jump on them by adopt- ing the open game the first year of its existence. With Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Penn and the others look- ed upon the new rules with disdain, and regarded the forward pass as a joke, the others developed a whirl- wind attack and made them look foolish_ When they met on the grid- iron. The success of the Carlisle Indians from 1907 to 1914 is a good example of this. Glenn Warner saw the pos- sibilities of the opeh game and used the forward pass as his chief weapon of attack. The Indians were apt| for family use on draught 'at home. from any dealer or jobber. "Twill Add a Keen Zest to the Feast BASS & CO. Importers, 90 Warren St, N.
