“FOOTBALL SEASON YALE AND HARVARD “GAME FURNISHED YEARS BiG THRIL tAldrich’s Tackle, After Faulty Forward Pass, Wonder- ful Football Play. ~ By Robert Edgren. HE greatest of all football sea- sting, over except’ for occasional post-season contracts, has. pro- duced its share of surprises and sharp ; reversals of form.” Yale figured gn all the dope sheets a fair favorite over Harvard, and’ the footrule « sharps a@gree that so far as ground gaining was concerned the Blue team made good on the dope—but not in the ecor- ing. Big For members of the ‘Three, Yale and Harvard surely. played ome ragged football at times, mixing blunders and mistakes with. magnif- cent playa in a way that knocked the props from under all caleulations. But there were sensational moments, fm that rip-tedring last period, that @ave the spectators thrills never ar ~ known where everything. runs with) ges machine-like smoothness and accu- racy. ‘The keenest gridiron monient I've seen this season came in that fourth |. period, when Yale’ ried the ball in ‘s furjous rally oa reslati¢ss phuing: down the field and within easy strik-| ing distance of Harvard's goal. It seemed sure Yale would score and go ‘back Into the Iéad. Every drive in:o! the resisting Crimson lie brought a | gain. But Harvard tightened its grip on the last bit of Harvard territory, and Aldrich essayed a forward piss! on the third down. ‘There had been | Kittle forward passing so far, and| what there was might have been be ter done by any high school team. So} @ forward pass at that moment was ® bagardous thing. ‘The ball went back to Aldrich. | where he stood in position as if to) kick. He straightened up, turned | from side to aide, and then hurled the | bball over toward the Harvard goal posts. It was a very neat pass. The only trouble with !t was that the: wasn't a Yale man within ten yards of tts line of flight, and it popped straight into the hands of Chapin o Harvard, newly in the game, substi. tuting for Coburn, and hardly expect- “But it Chapin 4 japin was eurprised he @idn't show jt. Like a flash he dart- ed straight down the field toward Yale's goal. There were no Blue} warriors in his path, and before any could cut across four Harvard men Fran into a perfect line of interference, cutting off all attack, as Chapin edged out toward the side of the fleld for more running room. Tt looked as if Chapin could jog along to a touchdown without any troul at all. He was absolutely protected, and he was far out ahead of every ‘other man on the field. THE COMEBACK. And here came the dramatic touch, the startling surprise. As Aldrich threw that pass I saw him stiffen in his tracks, goggle-eyed, as he real- ized there was no Yaie man rushing down to take the ball—that the sig- nals hed failed and the end in whom. he depended had gone headlong into the lime instead of down the field. He must have felt, even while the ball was in the air, that the pass had thrown away Yale's chance to win. Next thing his startled eyes saw was Chapin, dashing down the field with the ball tucked under his arm and the line of Harvard's interference sweep- ing into place to cover him. . two or three blue jerséyed men dashed against that interference and were bowled over. Harvard stands rose up and yelled: “Touchdown! touchdown! —touch- down!" Then suddenly there was Aldrich running straight down the field, but with the interference between him and Chapin going like the wind straight through the ruck of Yale's dazed tacklera. His hand had thrown the ball and his hand must repair the damage. It didn’t look as though any Duffy, or Wefers, or Paddock, or Drew ever went faster. Near mld- field Aldrich passed and turned the point of ‘the interference, brushed against 4t and flung himself desper- | ately atthe flying Chapin. It was a matter of inches, His outstretched left hand and wrist seemed barely’ to graze Chapl shoulder, but the Uarvard runner went spinning over the. line to a sprawling tumble, while Aldrich Junged headlong to the ground, The lay thero, ten feet apart, both knocked | silly by the fall, and so far as that play was concerned Yale was saved. | \ wonderful tackle--as close a thing! 1o a miss without being one as ever Was seen on any gridivon There were more important plays:| ground-gaining plays and ‘scoring plays, in that last uf the big-Eastern college games, but none with a more! hreath-taking thrill at the end of it SHOULD VARY SCHEDULE. Big Bill Edwards, former Prince er anda figure in the game hy years, has a proposition he stinks the Big Three should listen te It is to rotate the games, in- siead of having Yale, Harvard al- ways last on the list. With one playing Princeton a week before the final game and the other resting by putting, subs into a »malier game the last game is always one sided. | Princeton really beat Yale for Haxg| ward, Big Bill Edwards says, be-| eause the Yale team’ was stale after ts_battle with the Tigers and } vard was fresh. It would be better, there is nothing to choose in * between these three, to shifting the positians of the three big! kchools Athletic League echampionsh!p , been tate the schedule year after year. games astern football ts without a nampion this year, although Penn State seems to have the best team | and Lafayette rayks next, Both: of these colleges are playing a more ad- vanced game of football than any fn! the “Big Three.” which is a somewhat new situation, Besides that, Prince- ar the Middle Western se me en showing football, and on S | tending an Hastern~invasion beat the Army by a score of 28-0 and Rutgers 48—0. Netre Dame plays modern football— the most modern there is. One of the Notre Dame backs, Au- gust Desch, looks like an All-Ameri- can. He is fast as a streak and han- dies the forward pass with machine gun accuracy. He doesn’t wear any pads in his football uniform—wears n loose, light jersey so that his arms Will be as free as p baseball pitcher's, light moleskins and light shoes— | everything else sacrificed for speed. In fact pads aré not worn at Notre Dame at all, The team goes light— for speed Speed is the essence of the game, just as it is in many other ‘Western colieges. WEST STRONG ON PASS. Towa's ‘big team, Middlo Western champion, plays the latest style of football, combining a strong line with @ perfect air attack and great speed. It was too strong for Notre Dame— which indicated much ciass, Since lasi New Year’s day, when the University of California over- whelmed Ohio in Pasadena, the Bears have attracted a lot of attention in| football circles. Last year's team | was @ marvel on the Coast, but this year California has an even more) powerful scoring machine, averaging | about forty points a gamo for the} Season, and against good, active op- | ponents. Men on other teams gave California | the name “Wonder Toam” and said | that the California line was impene- | trable and irresistible, Probably | California could give any team in the country a battle this year. The over-| head game has bern developed more | nearly to perfection there than in any | Dundee in the main bout of twelve | other college in America. In last New Year's gamo with Ohio State the first California forward pas was shot straight into Muller's hands—a sixty yard toss from Cali- fornia territory io where Muller stood | waiting with his heels: placed inches from the Ohio goal line. | And here's a story about Muller] that isn't known in the Hast. He, by| the way, is one of the greatest all- around athletas in America. He cle 6 feet 4% inches in the high jump, feet in the broad jump, and throws the discus about 140 foet. No wonder in football he can throw a forwand pass as weil as tear down tho field to re- ceive one. Early this season Muller broke his leg. He was out of football and had little chance to play again this year. But when Carifornia played the Unit versity of Southern California Muller went on’ the field in one period to throw a couple of forward passes. | He threw from far behiid the Call-! fornia line, protected by a pair of husky team mates, because it wouldn't | do to let him be bumped over with | Ws leg just out of a plaster cast. Muller heaved a 60-yard forward | pass that connected properly for a 40-yard galn. Again the teams lined jup. and with the threat of another Muller pass, the play was shifted and California scored a touchdown through the line. It {sn’t often a football player's leg ‘s taken otu of a cast to let him play But you can expect anything in mod- ern football Years ago no one would have ex- pected @ college with lesa than 39 students to show much form, Centre enme into the Northland last year in-| to trim Harvard ang was cleaned up by the big Red team Centre played a fast open game, and, was crushed by Harvard's power line This year Harvard ex Centre played a fast open gam c ue open play, and Centre, showed up with a Hne-crushing bunch that out- | played Harvard at her own game, using modern passing and open. play | only occasionally.
