Fullback ......s+++ee++ Brickley .........Harvard HE most striking feature of the 1913 gridiron season was the super { fority of Western football over the antiquated style used by teams east of the Alleghanies. Harvard, Yale and Princeton, recognized gridiron leaders on the Atlantic slope, didn’t produce a single new play during the year. Their games were ull monotonous, It was punt, rush once, punt again, with the ultimate e object of landing the ball where a drop kicker could shoot it over, Harvard won the Eastern champion- ship because Brickley could outkick all the'Crimson's opponents, In pleasing contrast was the play: ing of the Western elevens. They realized fully on the new open game and worked the spectacular forward passes to perfection. The West most important intersectio: that a strong defense couldn't check an equally strong offense. The Notre Dame-West Point game Beoved this. The Army has long been noted for having one of the strongest + @efensive elevens in these parts. But the soldiers’ fortifications cracked im @ hundred different parts when the Westerners began hurling their passes. Notre Dame turned twelve out of fourteen passes into substantial gains. The Army was routed, 35—10, the worst beating the Cadets ever received. Weet.Point, learning its lesson, quickly @aulpped ite team with Western football ideas and succeeded in defeating the ‘Middies simply by taking then off guard with forward passes. This style of @ame scored the frat touchdown made sort of ame. Ballin was the life of the Princeton line, After attending to his own duties the Tiger tackle would roam out to the assistance of his ends, and {t was nothing unusual to see Ballin down the fleld first under kicks, Tale | it aN bott was the beat of the Yale for- four years in any service contest. | wards, He performed consistently well West Point demonstrated the sound-| a! year, Harvard “covered” Talbott, Mess of the new game and other KE st-| but even with this handicap he out+ played his Crimaon opponent, Pennock and Brown handled every. thing that came at their guard post- tions, Pennock, while not brilliant, was a hard worker, the beat Crimson | I Mneman at making openings and very strong at breaking through, “Bube” frown scored all tho points for the ldiew against Weet Point and has Western brand of game next season.
