Personal Touches in Sports
Dcsplto the efforts which wora made to have
scalping eliminated before the Army-Navy
ERmo, there appeared to bo Just as much of It
hi ubuaI. On Friday night beforo tho battle,
scalpers were nbundant on Broad street, lurk
ing around the Walton and Bellovue-Stratford
hotels. On the day of tho gume, thoy wero out
again early. Any one could have purchasod
a ticxot, or sold ono to a acalper at an ad
vanced price All ot which shows that tho
wrong system was used In attempting to pre
vent th9 Illegitimate sale of tickets, or, what
is mot probable, that there Is no way to
prevent It.
The Navy found that It was Indeed a long

signed a, contract with the Feda. Mages wan
seen later and denied that he had signed. He
admitted that ho was dlckerlnr with the "out
laws," but stated that unless he wero given
ft managerial berth he would not think of
jumping. This Is one ot tho many inaccurate
stories which have been sprung and It Is this
of advertisement that has hurt the national
pastime generally

There was a rumor soma time ago that Fol

Prcy D. Haughton. the wizard coach of
the championship Harvard University football
team, who Is very fend of racquets, had the
treat ot his life at the Racquet Club here
yesterday afternoon. For the nonce Coach
Haughton forgot the football situation and
thoroughly enjoyied a tilt on tha oourts. In
cidentally, he is a very clever fellow at the
gams.
Wasn't It amusing to note how many of
the "I-told-you-so" olan you ran across this
morning? Coming down on the "L" wo
bumped Into several wiseacres who knew full
well that Army was going to whip Navy.
All that we can say about the matter Is. had
we known beforehand millionaires wouldn't be
In it. Saturday there was plenty ot Navy
money la sight. It Is likely very scares this
morning.
Thousands of spectators who witnessed the
grand Army-Navy spectacle on Franklin Field
do not to thla day, unless they are well'
posted otnolale or newspaper men, know the
men who carried the ball during tha game.
It was an Impossibility for any one save the
authorities to tell who was playing, as tha
number system in voruo here waa not adoeted.
Tha Navy people were In favor et the plan,
but it la said Army would not agree. It is a

HARVARD FIRST, DARTMOUTH
SECOND' ON THE GRIDIRON
Ranking of Football Teams Made Difficult Because All
Best Elevens Do Not Contend Against Each Other.
CommentjOn 1914 Season.
By EDWARD R, BUSHNEIIi
With all our gnmes plnyd, we are now
In the nftermath week; of intercollegiate
football. Interest in the great errldlron
game dies about aa hard as the excite
ment over the world series basoball con
tents. For at least another fortnight the
followers of football will interest them
selves in tho selections of All-American,
All-Eastern, All-Western and other kinds
of sectional football teams, the ranking
of the elevens, praising of the successful
coaching systems and the analysis of
those which failed
The task of ranklntr tho leading teams
of the East has been Quito as unsatisfac
tory ns picking All-Eastern or All Dig Six
elevens. The absenco of an Intercollegiate
Football Asscteiatinn with a schedule
which brings all Its members together
usually makes it lmnossibln to, rank tho
teams on a percentage basis whero their
standing Is Hxed beyond dispute, nut u
frequently happens, as this year, that one
team stands head and shoulders abovo Its
fellows, and deserves unquestionably tho
tltlo of intercollegiate champion. That
tltlo wo may safely award to Harvard this
year, tor not only did the Crimson go
through tho season undefoated, but on
tho basis of comparative scores It woo
also well to tho front Tho ranking of the
othor teams is to a certain extent a mat
ter of opinion, but a careful study of
scores and the merits of the game, nsldo
frdm thu actual margin of victory and
defeat, enables a careful student to rate
them oretty accurately.
HARVARD IS CHAMPION'.
The first group to be considered Is tho
"Big Six," composed of Harvard, Tale,
Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Cornell and
Princeton. They aro called the "Dig Six"
not because they compose an association
of any sort, but because they are uni
versities for. the moat part standard in
size and in scholastic and athletlo stand
ing. Their rating Is determined upon the

Although Harvard was tied twice, the
Crimson went through the season un
defeated, and it should he remembered
that the use of substitutes was principally
responsible for both tie soores. A de
feated team has no argument with an
undefeated team, and certainly no fair
minded person will question Harvard's
right to the Eastern title, partloularly
since Harvard played a harder schedule
than any other team m the East.
Harvard and Dartmouth did not meet
this vr. but after seeing both teams
play I believe Harvard had more scoring
strength and a better defense. It is true
that Dartmouth scored more than twice
as many points as Harvard and held its
opponents to three points leas. But this
waa due to the fact that Dartmouth met
an easier class of teams than did Har
vard. They played but two common op
ponents, Princeton and Tufts. Princeton
beat Dartmouth 16-12, although most
critics felt after the game that Dartmouth
had the better team. Harvard swamped
Princeton, 20-0. The scores against Tufts
favored Dartmouth, fcr Tufts held Har
vard to a 13-4 score, while Dartmouth
burled Tufts under a 68-0 score. It should
ba said, however, that Tufts was at the
top of its form in its game with Har
vard, while the Crimson used a team com
posed almost entirely of substitutes. The.
Tufts team had been going down hill from
the time of the Harvard game until It
met Dartmouth three weeks later, a fact
proved by Tufta" other scores. Anyhow,
Dartmouth deserves to rank abovo Tale.
TALE IN THTOD PLACE.
There can't he any criticism of the
award of third plaoe to Tale, nor should
there ba any for giving fourth place to
Cornell ahead ot Princeton. Both teams
lost two games, Cornell at the beginning
of the season and Princeton at tha end.
Cornell got a- very bad start, and tha de
feats should ba charged more to a bad
schedule than to weakness In the Cornell
squad. After losing to Pittsburgh and
Colgate the Ifhacans got together and
came fast for the remainder of tha sea
sort, The only common opponent Cornell
and Princeton played waa BucknolL
Princeton heat Buoknell 10-0, while Cor
nell beat tha same team 13-0. Cornell's
performances agalnat such teams aa
Brown, tha Indians, Michigan and Penn
sylvania certainly- entitle tha Ithaeans to
rank fourth.
With Princeton in fifth lace there la
nothing left for Pennsylvania but sixth,
and certainly the Quakers themselves will
not complain ot their treatment In tha
ranking. Without question Pennsyl
vania's UU football record la tha worst
since tho Quakers were ranked with the
leader of tha East M years ago. No
other year records a season In which
four out of nine games were loat and tha
fifth a acaxeless tie. Worse yet, not
since USs, Just 2a years ago, has any
Pennsylvania team had more points
mad against It than It could score Itself.

such different strength and under such
varied conditions thnt an attempt to
classify them would lead to all sorts of
absurdities.
Form triumphed In the Army-Navy
game protty much ns it has been doing,
In all the championship games thla sea
son. At the end of the first period, al
though tho Army had thon registered
but n safety, It was practically certain
that the soldiers would win. This was
because they had a superior attack to
the Navy, and wero just as much better
defensively. In virtually ovorythlng they
attempted the soldiers did It better than
the middles. This Included line plung
ing, end running, forwnrd passing and
punting.
FORWARD PASS WON FOR ARMT.
The superiority of the Army with the
forward pass was enough to win the
game, And Prichard and Merrlllat, who
worked the play, did it more skilfully
than nny pair the writer has seen this
season. In this respect the game was
almost a duplicate of last year's contest
In Now York. Then these two men
operated tho forward pass so that It
scored two touchdowns, and another for
ward pass enabled the soldiers to get the
ball within striking distance for the third
score. Tha same combination scored two
touchdowns on Frnnklln Field on Satur
day, and made tha third possible.
The Navy had no adequate defense for
the forwnrd pass. Time after time Mer
rlllat was allowed to get down the field,
and usually when he got the ball there
was no Navy opponent within five yards
oC him. If the Navy had taken the pre
caution or had tho men to whom It could
teach the Harvard forward pass defense
these passes wouldn't have worked once
out of ten times. It must be said, how
ever, that the Army passes were of a
most deceptive character and were
worked so quickly and the ball thrown
with such accuracy aa to greatly Increase
the dlmculty of defending against them.
It must be said that Prichard threw the
hall and Merrlllat caught It with more
accuracy than nny other pair tho writer
has seen this season.
The Navy also tried the forward pass,
but tho Army had a defense for it, though
Its poor operation had much to do with
Its failure. As a rule, tho Navy pass was
a complicated thing, in which tho ball
was usually passed to the side or back
before the forward pass was made. This
delay In making the throw was more of
an advantage to tho defense than to the
offense, for It gave the Army backs an
opportunity to cover every loose man who
got through, and also enhanced their
chances of Intercepting the throw. If the
Navy coaches .hod profited by tho experi
ence of other colleges, they would have
learned that speed In getting the pass off,
and a sharp and short pass aro essential
to the successful operation of thla nlav.
With the possible exception of tho work
of Miles, the Navy's substitute quarter
baok, tha Army backa did muoh tho bet
ter work in running the enda and In lino
bucking. This waa because the Armv hnii
Interference and tha Navy mighty little
of thla sort of protection. The work of
the Navy backs was almost altogether In
dividual, and It wns very rare that they
received any protection from their mates.
The Army also had the better line, par
ticularly In making openings for the
backs. This waa of great advantage to
Hodgson especially, for a number of
times he cut through an opening so
qulokly that he was free for a good run
the moment he emerged. In the second
half Benedict did soma great Una plung
ing, LITTLE NEW FOOTBALL.
Neither team contributed anything new
to football offense. All the formations
were of the standard type, and tha only
variation was that both sides frequently
employed the MIohlgan plan of sending
eight men Into the Una of scrimmage
when making line plunges. It waa wltn
this formation that Maultbetsch did roost
of his star Una plunging agalnat Har
vard and Pennsylvania.
The playing of both teams waa charac
teristically hard. No college teams
tha opuntry tackle with sneh vlclonVneis
eta the Army and Navy, and it Is no
wonder that a little hard feeling cropS
out occasionally. But the fcwo aeadsmlea

COURSE IS BEING

A. H. Findlay's Plans Are
C a r r i e d Out New
Traps and Bunkers Over
the Entire Distance.
W1i,h Imnrnvtmnnla tlOW Under Way ftfO
completed the Woodbury Country Club
will havo what will practically be a new
golf course. But one teo and green now
In use will be used on the now course
and the changes are so drastic that for
the most part all the fairways will be
new. In the spring, when the course will
be ready although temporary greens will
have to be used until next fall It will ba
a fine test of golf, calling for long and
accurate carries from every tee.
Tho new course was planned by A. IT.
Flndlny, and the work ta being carried
out under the direction of O. O. Green,
Jr., chairman off the Green Committee.
Extensive as the work appears to be.
It Is being done In the short spaae of
five years, and nt the end of that time
the club will hnve acquired adjoining
property, upon which nn 18-holo course
and a new clubhouse will be built.
Tho first hole of the new course Is 2S0
ynrds long, with a narrow fairway and
a green surrounded by traps, exoept for
a.narrow entrance In front. This will al
luV the player who favors that Itlnd of
a shot to run up his approach, provided
his drlvo Is straight down tho line, bub
If slightly off tho traps must be car
ried., lho green will bo penr-shaped, al
though, as a matter of fact, nn oyster
shell would bo a better description.
A good two-shot hole Is the second,
calling for a well placod tee shot in order
to open up tho green' for tho second, an
the holo Is slightly dog-legged. The third
1st a one-shot hole, 140 yards for a mashlo
on tho first round of tho course and ISO
yards for a mtdlron or cleek on tha aoc
ond. Tho green is situated below the
two tees and Is guarded In front by a
creek.
A carry of 323 yards from the fourth
tee Is necessary In order to clear tha
creek and tho green is entirely sur
rounded by high mounds, with out-of-bounds
to tho left. Tho carry on tha
fifth Is 110 ynrds over tho same creele
thnt crosses tho fourth fairway. These
two holes aro SS5 and 3S0 yards long,
respectively.
Tho sixth Is another two-shot hole,
4S0 yards In length. Tho drivo is over
n slight rise In the ground and a huge
trap, 200 ynrds from tho tee, has to bo
carried on tho second shot. Tho mora
timid player can go nround the trap.
If he desires, for the ground to tho left
of the green Is cleared and will allow for
a delicate mashle.
The seventh Is a good drive and an
Iron and tho carry from the tea Is 130
yards. Tho eighth Is another drive and
iron, but is dog-legged, calling for a well
placed tee shot. Tho ninth hole, a drlvo
and mashle. Is entirely surrounded by
high mounds with a deep trap In front
and Is 0 fitting finish to a flno round of
golf.
In addition, traps will bo well placed
to tho right and left of all tho fairways
In order to punish wild tee shots and
most of the greens will be well trapped
sa well.
