The game with Yale ts and always@ has been the most important on Her- | vard's schedule. Games prior to this| one, with the exception of that with | Princeton, are largely in the nature of a tuning-up process for the "Big "Three" games, And winning the con- | test with the Blues always pearest | to the Crimson's heart, More than anything else Saturd victory was a testimenial to the) soundness and efficiency of Haughton football methods, Victory must be eredited to those methods far more than to the individual orilliancy of any member or members of the Har- vard team. The rea! story of the game, with- out amplifying details, is this; Har- vard had the all-important punch when it was needed. Yale lacked a potent punch at the critical moments of her attack. Yale gave all she had, but when the acid test came it not enough, Bhe could not overcome a team In f00d physical condition and whose strategy has been producing results for the last ten years, The Blue lacked the finish and variation of attack that is so neces- sary to a scoring team. During the first three quarters she seemed to be able to rush the ball from her own territory, only to have her backs un- able to cawy it further. It was plainly evident that when the Blue feam neared the Crimson goal line and the defense began to stiffen, O'Hearn was at a loss as to what play to select in order to suc “earry on.” His limited repej plays was exhausted, There was hothing left in his bag of tricks. in the case of Harvard the situa- tion was conspicuously diffe-ent. When she surged up to within strlk- ing distance of the Yale goal line the mson had scoring plays to use, and in Buell she had a quarterback who knew how to take advantage of his position in the field and knew the particular play to select from hig assortment A concrete !Iustration of this was furnished in the last quarter when scored her touchdown. Capt. Aldrich made a fine punt that sailed high and well down in Har- vard’a territory, But Yale's ends overran the punt. Charlie Buell eaught the ball. Buell has not run back a punt all season. To the as- the side line and then dashed 48 ior before he was downed by ‘the fleet- footed Aldrich. The period ended and the ball was placed a little to the right and about 12 yards from the Blue goal line, ‘When the game was resumed it was Buell who selected the climactic play ef the day and one that broke the heart of Yale. This play was from a formation fhat is as old as Harvard's present 1 system. Haughton used it in my last year at Cambridge. After returning from a siege of sickness Heughton sent me into the game with four plays to be used when in Yale's territory. When the Yale team fir- ured I was in for a drop kick the ball ‘Was passed to Mal Logan, who held it es if he was about to make a forward Pass. Instead, the man in the kick- er’s position took it for a run to a touchdown between tackle and end. ‘When Buell on Saturday, with the bail on the 12-yard line, and with the g@core 3—0 in Yale's favor, selected this formation, and with Owen, a fine drop kicker back, it was only natural Mat Yale should figure that Harvard But Buell, displaying the same bril- Mant generalship he had shown throughout the game, outguessed the Yale pyran. He called for a fake forward with Owen running from the Kicker’ osition, taking the ball from Buell’s hand and crashing through the short side of the line. a this pley th vard right end ® neat job on Yale's left tackle, @ latter was playing directly oppo- BB, site the Harvard right end, This end to the right, then threw his across the tackle, pe ie it im~- A for him to atop Owen, who added momentum we ‘a 10- i ry f| this mark it was ‘vate WHY HARVARD LOST THAT TOUCHDOWN George Owen, the great Har- vard back, had circled Yale's end twenty yards for a touchdown in Saturday's game. Umpire Tom Thorpe called the ball back and, in answer to an excited query from the Harvard players, said: “The man next to centre on the le was holding.” Keith Kane spoke up: wi next to centre and wu" re right, | was_ holding. hat’ll the penalty be?” ooo yards,” Thorpe re- 10 be that much?” Kane pleaded. It did, and Harvard lost a Owen, who went through the same tackle for the touchdown. There were many breaks during ‘he game, for and against both teams, bur it cannot be said that breaks were a determining factor in shaping the re- sult, Early in the game Fitts muffed + low piss from Clark on Harvard's 22- yard line. Sturm tried to pick the ball Up, but only succeeded in pushing it away, Hulman and Into then tried to scoop it up, bu: the realization that a touchdown was within their grasp ap- peared to be too much for them for they booted the ball around until one of the Harvard line men finally fell on it, Another bad break came for Yale in the last quarter. By a brilliant march down the fisid, with Aldrich and O'Hearn carry! sui the ball, it was placed on Harvai vard line. At first down. After two unsuccessful attempts to puncture the Crimaon Hne Aldrich, from a kicker's position on a punt formation, looked to the right, and then turned and threw the ball to the left into the walting arms of Chapin, the Harvard back, when there was not a Yale man within ten yards of him. Blair, a Yale end, had just como into the game, and he missed the sig- nal. Instead of going down for the pass he charged into the Harvard tackle, Chapin was away with an apparently clear field ahead of him. but after covering more than 40 yards Capt. Aldrich, by what seemed a superhuman burst of speed, brought him down. On the next play Fitts, one of Har- vard's backfield stars, broke through and placed the ball on Yale's 17-yard line. The always dependable Owen went off Yale's tackle for a touch- down, only to be called back on ac- count of one of his teammates hold- ing in the line. Instead of getting their touchdown, Harvard was penal- ized 15 yards, Owen Kicked a Goal From the Field. Aldrich then intercepted a forward pass, checking Harvard's march. ‘Yale punted to midfield, and the Crimson+ immediately proceeded t» take the ball to the 30-yard line on plunges by Owen and Chapin and with the aid of two penalties, The Blue Hne then braced up, so Owen dropped back and kicked a field goal. With about only three minutes to play, Yale made the mistake of not receiving the kick and opening up ber passing game, in order to try to bring the game out of the fire, Her lant chance faded out of the picture when she elected to kick off to Har- vard, whose attack had only then reached its greatest momentum, Yale's Captain, Aldrich, is a great leader, with a lion-like heart, and he should be given all the praise that can be given him. To Yale men one of the chief regrets of the game is that a team led by such a man as Aldrich was beaten. Crutkshank was a tower of strength on defense, and Hulman and Sturm were @ credit to Charlle Comerford, the Yale end coach. Jordan and Mal- lory played a@ fine game, and during the contest they took so much pun- ishment one wondered If they were not built of steel. Harvard's line star was Brown, who eeomed to be everywhere, breaking up plays and charging through into the backfield, Tierney played a whale of a game, and Capt. Keith Kane fin- ished up lis football career In a blaze of glory.

It isn't a common occurence by any means. Stanley Ketchel was of that kind. He was an unknown when he fought Joe Thomas, then the best welter- weight in the country, and he proved a sensation, The rest of his career up to the time of his untimely death {s well known. “Philadelphia is now boasting of another such fistic phe- nomenon. Hoe is Bobby Barrett, a lightweight, and already Quaker ex- perts on pugilism are picturing him as the conqueror of Benny Leonard. Barrett is only nineteen years old and has had only seven real fights. He has won them all, too, with a right-hand knockout. Only a week ago to-night he created a sensation by Imocking out Johnny Mealey, the Philadelphia lightweight celebrity, in a punch. Reports say that Barrett landed three of them, but it was the first wallop that did the trick. Mealy was knooked out only once before, when he was a novice, and then it took as good a man as Johnny Kil- bane to put him down. Since then Mealy has fought all the stare of the lightweight division and has never been’ whipped. Only recently he beat Sailor Friedman, who is to box Benny Leonant in Philadelphia to-morrow, On the night that Barrett made such short work of Mealy, as good a judge as Jack Hanlon, the Philadel- phia matchmaker, si might have knocked out Lew Tenaler or anybody else. Now Hanlon says Barrett is the best drawing card in Philadelphia, Jimmy Dougherty, the Lelpersville, Pa,, sportsman, who by the way js the first man we know of to pick Jack Dempsey as a coming heavywe'ght champion, just bubbles with enthusi- asm over young Barrett. Dougherty has seen him in all his fights since he appeared in a charity show at Chester, Pa., and knocked out an. experienced middleweight in a round. Dougherty always has been strong for hitters, and he says Barrett is just another Bob Fitzsimmons on a smaller scale. He looks like Fitz, acts like him in the ring, and like old Bob ts most dangerous when on the verge of defeat. Lanky, like Fitz, with reddish hair which brushes up like bristles, and a deceptive, slow and slovenly way of sliding around the ring. Bar- rett is anything but classy in appear- ance, But boy, oh boy, says Doug! erty, when that right’ hand of h shoots from nowhere, whatever it hits drops. According to Dougherty, young Bar- rett has another redeeming feature 1. that he is game. He can be hit, and he can be knocked down. In tact he usually is floored. But, when he geis up, then watch out. Something ways happens'to the other fellow. Ii, for instance, says Dougherty, Barrett fought Benny Leonard even now, and Benny knocked him down, he would not answer for Leonard's future repu- tation if the red-headed kid got on bis feet before ten. Dougherty likes to talk of young Barrett as a big, awkward country boy, untaught as to the fancy or gym- nasium kind of boxing, with just a natural aptitude for shooting In pow- erful punches, while ho takes what- ever comes his way. No style or airs to him, says Dougherty. He says “Yes, air," and “No, sir,” to every: body. He ts married, has'a youngster, and lives in the Philadelphia suburbs without even ordinary comforts, There is an old-fashoned coal and wood By Vincent Treanor.

You can fing the future champion at home any time among such surroundings, and he's proud of them, Dougherty showed us some pictures of Barrett. He looks everything said of him. He hag the fighting facv, sure, the turned up Terry McGovern nose, the right kind of a scowl, and the sloping shoulders and rounded arms of a hitter. If the pictures don’ lie the young man was cut out for a fighter. ugherty has seen many famous ringsters in his time, but of late years has given little attention to the game. Young Barrett has reawakened his interest. If the lad ts half as good as Dougherty would have us believe, New York will soon hear of him.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass,, Nov, 21,—Har- vard football teams have scored vic- torles over Yale in past years but none that have deen so satisfactory as that registered against Yale's splendid ma- terial tn the Stadium on Saturday. Great credit is given the doctors and trainera for the splendid condition of the team, for after beng hammered at Princeton the Crimson was brought right back to’ scratch, being in betti trim for Yale than it was for the Jerseymen, Notwithstanding the hard play, the Cambridge players came out of the same in better physical condition than that in which they bad finished any of their previous battles of the cam- paign. Bsky Clark, the centre, has a touch of water on the knee and a cut on the forehead, Coburn and Owen were bumped hard In the game. All the other players, however, have nothing the mat- ter with them and could start playing football again to-morrow.
