Mahan and Guernsey Must Be On Their Toes To-day and Use Them Too
Mahan May Be Rock
on Which the Yale
Team Will Split
Greater Finish of Harvard Foot?
ball Eleven Also Likely to Count
in Bitter Struggle on Gridiron
at Cambridge To-Day.
By HERBERT.
What man has dona ta*n can do. Tom Shevlin is a living exponent
of this truism; hut Tom .Sh-viin. or better, perhaps, the Yale football
tlcv-n, faces a barrier before ?19,000 men and women, in the Btadium at
Cambridge to-day, which is likely to be insurmountable.
This Lanier is the Harvard eleven, coached by Percy D. Haughton,
the grand exalted ruler <>f the gridiron in the last few years, an eleven
which was brought alone almost to tite limit for Princeton two weeks ago.
' which, r,o doubt, hns profited, as in the past, by that little extra
?polish which Haught/"i knows 90 well how to apply.
Captain Eddie Mahan is the rock on which the Yale gunboat is likely
to foonder. Thii player In hi. way il tu wonderful as Tom Shevlin. He
doc- e\(i?ih]:.?! ??vil. And Incaute of his individual brilliancy in running.
passing and kicking, the anni o? any well organized offence, the THREAT
r* Mahan is almost a potent an asset for the Crimson?an asset of
which the wily Haughton has taken full advantage.
Yale* may rise to great l-eif-hts. The?!
Incentive is there, the snirlt is willing,
the flesh even is strong, hut in every
analysis the conclusion is always the
same?the Hnrvnrd team is more fin?
ished. F.verything else being equal,
this extra finish, which Is nothing more
than the concentrated es.jerice of team
eifort, i hound to measure the differ?
ence between winning and losing. On
everything that has been ?een this year
Harvard should b.-at Yals this after?
noon.
Exception May Be a Factor.
An exception may be made. One was
made last week. Princeton had the
more t'.ni?hed team?the better team, no
doubt, in a!! that goes to make up a
football machine, but Yak- won. In a
measure, tin- Tiger.? fumbled away their
chances, as they had the week before
against Harvard. Mistakes of the hand?
or even of the head may be made by the
Crimson to-day, and, if so, another ex?
ception is quite likely to be noted. Keen
alertness, sharp following of the ball,
indomitable determination, are striking
characteristic? of the Yale men. There
is no such thing as a stand and wait
policy. Tom Shevlin has seen to that.
On a line through Princeton, an an?
alysis could be made which would give
the New Haven team an even chance.
Most critics agreed that the running
attack of the Tigers was more powerful
even though not so finished, as Har-i
vard's in their meeting two weeks ago. '
The figure? of the game substantiated !
this. Princeton's running attack, how?
ever, against Yale was not so consecu?
tive, or so well sustained aa against !
the Crimson.
This indicates one of two thing?. Th?
Vole defence wa? stronger than Har?
vard's, particularly from tackle to
tackle, or else the Tigers had staled off
and could not concentrate *o readily. |
If the former is true, the Harvard of- '
fence which lacked slightly the drive
and cohesiveness, as compared with
Princeton on November 6, may bo torn ?
apart and checked as easily by the '
Blue this afternoon. This would re?
solve the game, apart from possible
fumbles, or some individual run of rore
merit, into a battle of drop-kicking,
and in this respect Otis Guernsey
should hold his own with Captain
Mahan.
Harvard's Deceptive Offence.
A flaw in this reasoning can be
picked. Harvard's offence is built on
acception and against a team no moro
football-wise than Yale, the sleight-of- j
hand methods of Watson, the Crimson ;
quarterback, the unexpected thrusts, '
first here. Man there, are quite likely ;
to break down the defences of Captain
Wilson's men more quickly than sheer
drive and power.
The Tigers showed the Harvard
?couts that Yale's weakness lav in
plays off tackle and around the end.
Princeton did not take full advantage
of this, but Harvard will. From tackle
to tackle, the Blue forwards ere.strong
when concentrated, but the line loses
much of it? effectiveness when
looeened, although this weakness, no
doubt, has been largely corrected since
last Saturday. The tackles are almost
?ure to lend more support to their
ends. The wing men hre far below
the standard set by such men as Shev?
lin, Kilpatrick, and Bomeisler, but no
end? could b<- expected to bear the
burden? pat on them a week ago
through the lack of much needed co?
operation by th?> tackles.
Another thing 1? worthy of consid?
eration. Harvard has more long gain
play.4 than Yale, and this may mean
much in putting the team within goal?
kicking distance. Further than that,
the Harva-rd men have be"n playing
together much longer, and for this rea?
son ?hould be more adept in working
as one and la providing that inter?
ference for the runner which means
so much.
So good a judge as Dudley Dean
ha? ?aid that Yale tackling wa? far
?Setter than that of the Crlmeon. It
certainly was harder against the com?
mon foe, Princeton, and this may have
the effect of slowing up the backs, al?
though nothing but a ?tone wall or
a field ankle ?i?-ep in mud is likely to
destroy the effectIvenes? of Mahan.
The game to-day must decide be?
tween the individuals, but, on the
whole, the advantage In this r??pect
appears to lie with Harvard, with the
exception, perhaps, of "Cupid" Black
at one guard. White at centre, and
Guernsey, but the last named only on
the question of punting and drop
kicking. He does not compare with
Mahan in other respects. In fact, 'h?

Yale Leads by
a Wide Margrjn
Yale and Harvard will meet on
the gridiron for <he thirty-fifth
time this afternoon. Yale has won
23 games to only 7 for the Crimson.
Four ended with the score tied.
Yale has not ?on a game since
1909, and has not scored a touch?
down since 1907, when Harvard was
defeated by a score of 12 to 0. The
aggregate score for the last six
?eurs is: Harvard, 71; Yale. 1.1.
The res-ord of the team? since 1897
follows:
Ha; Har
Yale. rard. Yale. vard.
1897. 0 01906. 6 0
1898.0 171907.12 0
1899.0 01908.0 i
1900.28 0 1909.8 0

1905.6 0 19H. 0 .16
struggle almost hopelessly to bring
about a prtjper coordination in the ?
play of the Yale backs.
Guernsey a Great Kicker.
Guernsey is a really great kicker,
but little else, largely because se
little time has been afforded for his,
proper davelopment. Hingham is one
of the best defensive backs of the
year and starts quickly in running!
with the ball, but against Princeton
he did not pick his openings ?veil, and
la far from the standard in providinp
interference. Captain Wilson, on his ?
play this year, is a good average half?
back and a little more, while Van |
Nostrand has a quick, nctive brain and
gives the signals ?veil, but otherwise'
he has been with the team too short
B time to be of much all-around value.
It would seem, then, that structural
weaknesses will operate too heavily j
against the Blue when opposed to
such a well drilled team as Percy i
Haughton will put on the field.
As suggested yesterday, there are ;
some things that even Tom Shevlin
can't do in the short space of nine
working days. He and the other
coaches have brought the team along:
fast. He worked almost a miracle in
toaing it up to a point that made a
victory over Prineoton possible, but
in doing this he had to show his hand, i
and Harvard, by virtue of a schedule
which works to Us advantage, is much
better prepared than the Tigers to
meet such opposition as may be of?
fered.
Referring once more to what should
be a salient feature of the frame?punt?
ing ? it can be said that Otis Guernsey
is almost sure to hold his own with
Mahan, and if Yale can force a punting |
1 duel the chances of the Blue will be '
i immeasurablv improved. In drop klek
: ins:, too, the Yale man is likely to ;
' shine. He only did last Saturday
i against Princeton what he has been do- j
inn constantly in practice. Harvard
will spare no efforts to hurry his kicks,
1 and if successful will thus neutralit?
' their effectiveness, but every possible
, provision to prevent this has been :
made by the coaches at New Haven.
Mahan Always Dangerous.
Mahan, too. as previously said. Is t |
dangerous factor ?vhen it comes to drop
kicking, but he, like Guernsey, is not ,
ahvays consistent In punting, and some
pooriv delivered punt by one man or ;
? the other may prove to be the turning,
point in what is almost sure to be a j
j bitter, hard fought struggle.
According to the weights at hand, '
, the Yale eleven averages 181 pounds
' to 176 for Harvard, if It rains, or if
the field is soggy from the effect* of
yesterday's driving storm, tho Crimson,
it seems, would be the worst sufferer,
i It would tend to slo?v up the running
sttack, which depend? much on speed I
as well as on deception, and it ?vould
: make the extra poundage of Yale count ?
i more largelv. It is hoped that the field ?
will be Arm and the wind nothing more l
! than a zephyr, so that the battle may
be fought out without lutside agencies
having a bearing._
If Yale wins to-dav Tom Shev'in's
r.ext job will be Governor of Minnesota.
The nomination Is made here and now. j
Yale has not beaten Harvard since
1909. Two tie games followed that
veer, but Harvard ha* now won three
in a row and by margins thst were :
i,road and decisive.
Oilman and Parson, the Harvard
tackles, are sure to be conspicuous, ;
whileaasSoev at one end may shine al- ;
most af briifhUv as Mahan. He hss it
in him.
If Yale gets the ball within Har?
vard's 16-yard line at any time Mai
Scovil will ba seen running out on the
f.-ld to take his place behind the for?
ward?. If any man can advanoe the
ball further Scovil ia that man.
In the light of reoent years, It seen i
? to be forgotten that th? record of
rames played reads: Yale. 23; Harvard, ?
-, with four a tic. Ancient history. I
however, plays a small part. It's the
immtdiate oast or the present that'
counts.
Here'? hoping 'hat Tom ??hevli'i
, sends Kmil Jsqut-s out to nlay part of
[the gume in the backiield. He will fill
lerjuiiements, and no player i? more
I deserving of his "Y."

Columbia and N. Y. U. te
Battle on South Field, and
Keen Contest Is in
Prospect.
Columbia and N'ew York Universit?
will clash on South Field this after
noon in ??hat promises to be a hart
fought battle. Both teams have met ii
practice scrimmages ?vhich showed that
they were evenly matched, and although
the New York University eleven wn?
badly battered in its game with We?
leyan lant Suturday it has come baclt
strongly.
The game will mark the resumption
of football relatiors between the city'?
two largest colleges, ?vhich have not
met on the gridiron since 1?9'.'. In nine
of these fifteen years, of course, Co?
lumbia had no team Therefore, al?
though the game marks ??hat practi?
cally will be the beginning of football
relations, the rivalry between the t?vo
is Intense, and it is shared by the
teams as well as by the undergraduate
bodies.
Columbia has the better record for
the season, with a slate showing three
victories and no defeats and a total
point score of Sit for its opponent's IS.
S'o'.v York diversity, on the other
hand, has played seven game?. It has
deflated K. P. I.. Hamilton. Union and
Stevens and '.led with Bucknell. T?vt>
defeats ha?-' been registered against it,
however, one by Havert'ord Bnd the
other by Wisleyan. Columbia's vic?
tories were over St. Linvrenec, Stevens
and the Connecticut Aggies.
Whatever advantage weight will give
will be in New York Cni? crsity'i favor,
because It out?veighs the Columbia
eleven by six pounds to the man. Co?
lumbia has spent most of It? time in
the last ten duys in the development, of
a ?vide open oftenc?'. and it I? probable
that the Blue and White will resort t..
forward passes for most of its ground
gaining.
Chancellor K.lU?vorth E. Brown of
Ne?v York 1'nivcrsity and President,
Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia
will occupy adjoining boxes in front of
the south stand. Other box holders
will be Wan ?n Kinney, (Jeorges Re?
nault and Louis Fhret.
The Carlisle Indians will play their
first game of football in this city since
1913, when, v ith Captain Gus Welsh,
Joe Guyon, Ptter Calac and Bracklin
in the line-up, it defeated the mighty
Dartmouth eleven on the Polo Ground?.

ARMY HAS LONG
DRILL ON FIELD
SOGGY WITH MUD
Both Cadets and Navy Plan
to Use Second String
Men To-day.
' Br T?!??r?p i to Th? Trlfcu.-.? |
West Point, N. Y., N'ov. 19.?The Army
eleven went through a drill in the rain
to-day in final preparation for 'the
game with Springfield to-morrow. The
cadets toiled for n long while in the
mud and got plenty of chance to han?
dle a slippery oveI. The handling of
the ball was clean, however, during the
signal drill and the lengthy punting
session which marked the practice.
Coffin's kicking was highly pleasing,
in spite of the fact that the pigskin
vas heavy and the wind stiff. The
weather condition? are responsible for
?everal important last minute changes
in tha personnel of the eleven which
will face Fpr'ngfield. A trio of stars,
Oliphant, .MeLwan and Coffin, will not
start to-morrow. The field is treach?
erous and the going so bail that the
coache.? will not risk the chance of
seriou.-i injuries.
Annaprlis, Nov. 19.-Though L'rsinus
has displayed quite as good form as
the strongest Naval Academy team that
can be put on the field, Ingram, the
head coach, has decided to use a team
to-morrow made up largely of substi?
tute? and second string men, as he
fears to risk injuries to the principal
players.
The N'avy will have its representa?
tives at West Point to-morrow, while
Army scouts will be in the Navy
stands, but it is not thought thai, much
will be learned by either. The regu?
lars had only signal and kicking drills
this afternoon, and were permitted to
return tu their dressing rooms earlier
than usual.
Hroadfoot and Vail, who are likely to
be among the first called upon if back
noli substitutes are needed. ran
through the signals this afternoon in'
the places of Westphal and Davis,
(ring and Martin completed the back- '
tielil. Soasa excellent punting was done ?
by Von Heimberg, BloJgett and Vail. |

Rodger?, the Stevens football coach,
excused the whole squad from work of
any sort yesterday afternoon, as he
thought a day's layoff would do the

The new Haven players remained ia
door? thi? evening because cf th?
weather. There were no football plsy
. ers representing Harvard about Cast

mamed nt the Vesper Country Club. a*.
' Tyngsboro, Moss., all day. The coacfeM
' had planned tc send th? men out f?r
some light work in the morning, bst
i a heavy rain was falling, ?nd except
for faking a short walk the pl?y?n
remaii.ed at tha- club.
In the afternoon, however, there ots
1 a short drill on ?ignal?, the player?
walking through thn- plays. This e??s
ing Reggie Brcwn gu.e his annual Isc
ture to the team, going over all of th?
Harvard defensive plays thoroughly
, and making sure thai every play ?ru
understood.
It has rained hard all day in Boston
and Cambridge, but the prediction! far
to-piorrow are for slightly colder ?nd
clearer weather. Harvard ?ril m?ke no
changes in its line-up from that si?
ready announced. It is ?aid that th?
reason for not starting Taylor ?t guard
;s that the conche? aro not ?ur? ho?
long Wallace will be able to rernsin ?t
centre, and Taylor is the first subitituU
for thi? position.
