TBOAVS CONTEST WITH HARVARD
New York. Nov. IS.? (By the Asso-j
elated Press.)?Although the waning
of the eastern football season la indt- '
cated by the itu>rter list of contests for
tomorrow, the JKldiron battles Tnvolve
no lessening of interest. Surmounting
. all other' names of the day is the Yale
Harvard clfcsh at Cambridge. For the |
first time In a decade the Kit ? eleven
will entfcr the scrimmage an" odds-on I
favorite (n the'wagering.
With a wealth of materia? In both j
line, the backlteld and reserve strength. '
the Blue. In certain quarters. Is deft- |
nltely selected to defeat the Crimson, j
Ther" chief basis for this prediction Ja <
the defeat of both Princeton and Brown ?
by Yale, as compared with the over- ,
throw of Harvard by the Tigers, and ?
the extremely close . contest between j
Brown and the Cambridge team last |
Saturday.
A careful analysis of 'the football j
power and ability ^hf the two teams, j
however, does nat Indicate any great
preponderance In ste-ength or playing J
skill for either. Although Princeton de
feated Harvard 10 to 3. It was a long ;
forward pass received by Oilroy In th?,j
final few minutes Of the game tliat t
? changed the score from a 3 to 0 lead i
for Harvard Into a Victory for the Or- j
ange and Black.
If early Tied by Tiger*.
While Yale outplayed Princeton most j
of the time last Saturday, the Tigers t
came within an ace of tying the score
on Snlvely's long pass to YJllroy in the
closing minutes of play. A second's |
respite after his catch of the fifty-yard j
pass might have meant another touch- ;
down, wh'lch If followed by a goal j
would havk won the game for Princeton. I
Yale ran roughshod ov<;r Brown early j
in the seaion. but when the Providence j
eleven went t<> Cambridge last Saturday, i
' it was four times as strong as when It |
met Yale, according to a statement of
the Brown couch. The Harvard second
string men managed to defeat the Bru
nontuns In a last minute rally, 9 to 7.
Tbg Chances Discussed.
tinder these conditions, the result of
the game resolves itself Into a ques
tion of Individuality and team playing
ability and physte?H>ower. It Is gen
erally conceded that the Blue has the
stronger group of first and second string
players. To offset this superiority
Hurvar.d has a more polished football J
mnchine. with an attack more deceptive j
than anything the Ells have faced this
fall.
The game will be played on a wet
field and this fs expected to mllitata-]
to some extent Yale's running ana
rushing attack. The footing urlJJ be j
none too firm for O'Hearne's broken
field sprints. Jordan ands^Aldrfch will
find fast footwork more hazardous than
at lhrtnceton. The> extent to which the
Blue depends upon ttfis form of offense
is shown by a comparison of the gains
made by both Yale 4nd Harvard. The
Ells made 180 u> rushing, while
the Crimson gained but 135. In for
ward passing the tables werw reversed,
for Harvard made 112 yards ,to Yale's J
<0. In punting, the average distance ?
of kicks was 36 yards by each team. j
Yale's Advantage.
Individually, the Yale players arc a
more rugged combination, possessing
greater physical power and stamina.
Several of the Cambridge stars are
known as "brittle" players, and are
likely to be forced out of the game be
fore the sixty minutes of play expire*, j
In the matter of replacement material^ j
Yale has a decided advantage.
In the other more Important games
of tomorrow afternoon. Syracuse Is ;
thought to have a slight advantage over
Dartmouth, due to a stronger line and '
more diversified attack. Da Fayette op
pears to have greater all around ^
strength than Lehigh, and Brown and '
Colgate should prove evenly matched.?
Several of the teams which have con
tests scheduled for Thanksgiving Pay
or the Saturday following will not play
tomorrow.

'"Which team. In your opinion, con-ji

"J. ALLEN* TRAILER." ;J
Mr. Trailer asks a Question which is j
calculated tr> start something which
neither he not I can finish satisfactorily ,
I can answer only concerning the foot
bait teams I have seen in action. I have;
not had the pleasure of see Nebraska.
I own. Ohio State or California. Concern
ing them I can speak only as to reports
made to me by feJlows who have watch
ed them. In spite of the fact that It
could not beat Michigan, many of the
western experts believed Wisconsin had
the best team in the ^conference. possibly
excepting Iowa. Nebraska undoubtedly
Is a better and lighter team than In
years. although Its victory over Pitt,
when analysed, seemed more due to Pitt
vital weaknesses than to Nebraska
Blicnvth. My old school. Ohio i>tate.
will claim the western conference cham
p:onship. but fellows who know tho
team inside out say it is not up to the
\ standard of the llarley teams. It Deal
Chicago by forward passing. The de? '
feat of Ohio State by Oberlln means
nothing excepting that Ohio State con
sidered its opponents weak and got a
surprise. Kckersall and other western
experts thluk Iowa the best team in the
section.
The Beat Teams
In my opinion Notre Dame Is the
greatest football team In the country,
with Lafayette second. Penn State third
perhaps Cornell fourth, although Cornell
h?.s had too easy a schedule to bo
Judged as good as Its record shows.
. l'enn State has been scored on so often
as to reveal the fact that its defense is
pregnable.
But befox? considering these teams,
let us dispose of Yale. Harvard and
prtneeton. Now you big three folks
, keep Quiet and listen. Princeton's team
not only was not good this year but was
bad. It was weak In fundamental foot
ball, ragged In Us work In attack, rotten
In tackling. It was lucky to escape de
feat at the hands of Swarthmore and
tmt#>ved very little.
Yale's team is not a great team, nor
has It played good football. It is a |
hard-working team, playing fairly well I
together with three corking players and
ends well drilled. In the I*rtnceton J
game It show*! good defensive line:
work, an attack that was simple, old- !i
fashioned football with Just one trick
an old-fashioned delayed pass aimed to;
suck in one end and give the runner a i
chance to rur practically without In- j
terference. Jones's forward pass game
was a Jest. In the Princeton game,
knowing that there were five dangerous
men opposing him. he shot two lateral
passes, both o' which were inteopepted
and nearly caught either one of which,
would have resulted In defeat.
Harvard stilt has its system and a
team without stars. It depends upon
machine-like team work, lacks punch
and la not dangerous against a fair de
fense. save that Its fwrward passing
game Is better than Yale's.
Chicago Best Drilled Team
Taking up other teams. Chicago has !
the best drilled machine I have seen
this season and worked more smoothly ,
than any k have witnessed. It la not.
however, a strong club. In that It lacks ?
grewt stars, with the exception of Mc- i
Oulre. It beat Princeton chiefly be
cause It was propped for that game}
alone and Its shift worked perfectly,
the man with the ball finding his open- '
Ings well because the line was strong
enough to hoUl the w*eak I*rlnceton line
long enough ,t<v give the runner time to
wait for th* hole to open. *
Cornell has a wealth of material, a.,
lot of drive and runs Its plays well,
but It Is Impossible to rate It up with
Penn Stata. Lafayette or Notre Dame |
because Its weak schedule did not show ;
' Its possibilities or perhaps reveal Its j
weaknesses. Penn State is one of the '
Lxcepttng Lafayette. it ha* more sheer
power in attack. Its styi* of football !
Is not perfect, and Its play often Is I
ragged. In Its shift play the runner i
3 n started too fast, ran Into .his in, I
terference and sliced Into the tackle j
before the hole opened. In defense the '
work was even more raffed. It per- i
mlt.ed scoring that should have heen !
stopped As a sheer fighting machine'
t would have a chance against any I
team In the country, but would need i
luck and the breaks to win.
Lafayette. for sheer power, strength
and defensive strength, leads them all
Here Is the heaviest, fasting, hardest
?'gating team of them all. a much hard
er fighting team than Is Notre Dame !
a stronger plunging team, a harder tack-1
ling team. This Is not the place to con
slder how the team was assembled or
where the player came from. The fact
Is that they are there at Lafayette
playing for Lafayette and playing aa a
, D?n't for*?*. they
ARR playing as a team. If the college
authorities permit the assembling of
such teams, the only thing we can do
to consider them as we find them
From end to end they have the heaviest
and strongest line, they have speed and
weight-In the backfleld, driving power
experience and brains.
Which brings us to Notre Paraa.
w.ilch I consider (remember you only
asked fny opinion) the strongest and
most resourceful team, with the great,
est wealth of material, the moat mobile
style of attack, the most diversified lot
of talent In the country. This team can
run. forward pass, kicx and plunge. It
has yielded fewer first downs to oppon
ents than any team In the country, and
probably gained more ground than any
other team. That It would-beat Lafay

TEEING UP WII H OUIJlET '
By FRANCIS OUIMET
V ?
An Era. of Dong Swatting' About Sut
Shoulrl George Duncan and Abe .Mitch
ell decide to make their second tour of 1
the United States this next season, ive i
may look for another season of golf I
that will even be more Interesting than |
"the one now coming to a close. Their 1
visit this year did a lot'towsrd lmprov- |
ing the standard of play over the land ?
because their many matches were I
played before large galleries and the
golfers In these communities therefore i
had an excellent opportunity to see a
group of the best players )n the world
In action. Nothing helps one's game
better th^n to occasionally follow a i
match played between stars. You can
pick up some line pointers about golf j
by doing this,'which are bound to aid i
you.
No doubt we will go in for an orgle j
of long driving next season. The pres
ence of Mitchell In our land this sum- J
mer has done much to Impress upon all i
golfers the value of long tee shots, and j
when Jesse Guilford and Bob Gardner i
came together In the finals of the ama
teur this point was cllncleed for all of j
us. as Guilford Is unquestionably the '
longest driver among our amateurs,
while Gardner Is not far behind. In fact j
the Impressive victory over Gardner
was due In no small measure to his !
long hitting.
But 1 am not 'sure this desire for
great distances la going to Improve our j
golf. Except In the hands of a few j
stars, the effort of most players to I
reach unusual lengths from the tell Is
most detrimental to their games. More J
j shots are wasted by pressing than by ;
any other flaw In one's game unless It
j be looking up to quickly, and this must '
' be guarded against If one Is to keep i
pace with the modern topnotcher.
We overlook the fact that two very i
flne golfers?Evans and Hunter?fell i
by the wayside at \St. Louis on a wet |
courfe. Under such conditions the [
strong driver has tremendous advan
tage. In fact, when Hunter went forth
to ? play his match which meant his 1
elimination he remarked that it was a
bard day for the small players. Of >
j course I do not mean their opponents
woiild have lost to them had this day
been like the preceding one. But I am
quite sure men like Evans and Hunter j
do not show as well under adverse
weather conditions as do some of our
mighty players.
IJ the Result to Be Oood?
T^o era of long swatting which be- 1
gah In 1919, when Dave Hehhon besteil J
the amateurs at Pittsburgh, murks
nothing new In golf history. Every ,
! decade or so the game of golf goes ,
through the same sort of thing. In
! 1994 Walter J. Travis remarked, follow- 1
| fng the winning of the British amateur,
that British golfers were suffering
from a disease known as long driving.
They were sacrificing distance for aeon- ;
] racy. It did not take them long to give
! more attention to the matter of accu
racy, with the result that they turned .
j back many American Invasions,
j I am wondering If we are not now In
something like a similar situation or
on the verge of entering into one. In
the past few months wherever I have
played I have never witnessed more trc
mendous driving on the part of practl- :
cally all i%>lfers. We are all hitting
hard, no doubt, of thnt. This period of
hard hitting began after the 1919 Ama
teur, but It was partially curbed a year
ago when Evans, not a long driver, took '
the title at the Engineer's Club. ("if
course, some held that the Engineer's j
course was not adapted to length, prov-i
lng their contention by the* failure of
Guilford to qualify and the early elimi
nation of the then holder of the title.
T>ave Herron. But there were'holes!
there where length was a most Import-1
ant Item, and It Is hard to see where the |
course was to he called Into account for ;
the elimination of the long hitters.
At St. Louis long driving was a vital j
factor because of the lay out. But
I feel sure some would have fared bet- !
ter had' they restrained themselves ,
somewhat from certain tees. At Oak- '
mont length did give Herron a great
advantage, but It was due to the feet
that he also was able to place his tee
shots nicely and hack them up with
magnificent approaches and sterling
on the greens. Those points were like- |
?wise the telling factors In Guilford's
victory at St. Louts.
Those who follow the plan pf hitting
hard because It made champions out of j
Herron and Guilford are too frequently j
overlooking the fact that golfers of
their , type have perfect control over |
their long drives. whereas those of
smaller statue and less strength have
i to slug to -dteep within range of them
! from the tees. That was what occurred
I in British golf twenty years ago. and j
| It ls'llkely to prove one of the chief \
faults of our game, broadly speaking,
i in 1?M.
i I know of no remedy to correct this
i tendency, as It Is a perfectly natural
development as the game goes. And It
may not prove fatal to us In Interna- J
Clonal bottles next year because we have
men like Guilford and Gardner, extreme
ly from the tees, yet sound In every re
spect, especially In the all Important
matter of accuracy. The trouble lies In
i the few yeare following In that those
| youngsters now developing may fall ,
Into the perlnclous habit of pressing.
I
Tour H*rd?rt Opponent in Oolf.
Did you ever measure strokes with
the hardest man to beat In golf? Ho
i Isn't always the champlok or the ox
j champion, either. But he Is the golfer
I who Is bound to come through time
after time, no matter whom he moots. I
! think every man who has played a
j year of two of golf will admit that the
most difficult opponent to down la the
1 player who lets yo.u beat yourself,
j There Is such a player, probably a pair
j of them. In about every tournament that
' Is played In this country. He's the fel
j low who saws wood, sticks to his own
game and Isn't a bit ruffled If you hap
] pen to roll a birdie or two In Jthe first
! nine. He simply figures on the luw of
1 average and isn't a bit upset over your
finest shot. He simply won't crack, find
It Isn't long before you begin to feel the
weight of his scheme bearing down upon
you.
j The hardest man to beat In golf is
I the consistently par medal player. You
j can count on hltp being In nt the llnlsh
i of every hole, and you can also count
on him rarely flashing Into the race
with amazingly brilliant play. You can
: al(| count on him not breaking or
! cracking at any point In the play. He's
| the old bulldog himself when It comes i
i to slicking it out. As for mental haz- I
| ards. his presence as an opponent bents
I them all. It Isn't long before you know
' you have a game on your hands, and
[ that the least flaw on your part is go
| Ing to mean ruin. That is no comfort
able feeling to pack about with you in
a championship mutch. Many and many
| ore the cracks who have been mowed
I down by sueh a player.
Such a golfer is not hard to note,
.once you have met him. Itarely \>ng
from the tee his direction Is masterly.
. And In pitching lie rarely drops (tend .
1 to the cup. but you can bet your last
dollar he'll be on and down !p two putts.
It's no Joke facing nuch a man. You
are Inclined to outdo yourself, to over
play your hand when you do. Occaslon
j ally, you'll get a breathing spell when
he misses par by a stroke, but you'll
; not see any 6s and 7s on his card, not
j by a long" shot. k !
Traver* an Example.
Jerry Travers was one of that type,
j only Jerry could rest when the occasion j
) demanded it. Jerry won more matches
by letting the other fellow defeat him- I
j self than" by ouMtroklpg Mm. if you I
j got what I mean. And Jerry had an- I
other quality; he could rise to an erner- I
i gency and play a hole tinder par If the
I occasion demanded It. Jerry know hiu
j elubs by heart and Jdst what he could
do with every one of them. He also
1 knew that others were tricky. Jerry |
was often shy of lii.s wood. But he
more than made up for this with Ins
uncanny accuracy with the Irons. Jerry
trequently would not only Bet home
with a midlron, tnu dead at that. He
turned many a golf match in this wuy
when the going was hard. 1'laying
Travels when he was at the top ot his
career was an exacting task. You'd he
a long shot fit m the green and con
gratulate yourself when your hall rolled
-within putting distance of the pin. Hut
the next thing you know Jerry would
be inside by three or four feet. It was
upsetting, to say the least.
Willie Hunter, present British ama
teur champion. Is another golfer who
lets his opponent bring about his own
downfall. Hunter Is a mighty sound
player and an exceedingly crafty one.
ills shots lack something of the bril
liancy of other great amateurs but they
ring true and they rarely go astray.
Hunter knows that he Is about when ne
attempts every shot. He goes about
his business methodically and tries
nothfng fancy r? gardloss of the situa
tion. In short, i'unter plays his own
game. He has learned that most vain- 1
able of all lessons in golf?not to pay '
attention to what his opponent Is doing
Con.oentra.tlon the Reason.
These steady and consistent perform
ers, the-golfers who are hardest of all
to beat, have one trait In common?ap
parent lack of nerves. I'nder the tnosi
exacting conditions. In the face of situa
tions that would upset the nerves of
99 per cent of the old hands compe
tition, they never turn a hair. Tney
have mastered -'themselves. Their en
tire energy, will and. brain power Is
given to playing the shot. Concentra
tion Is their watchword.
Once a golfer Is equipped with strokes
he cannot go- far until he has the ability
to confine his entire thought to each
succeeding stroke. Hoy, once he lets his
mind wander to the Importance of tnn
Ntroke. to the fact that it may win or
lose the hole, to the necessity of out
stroking an opponent, he Is a rare spec
tmen if he can succeed. Golf Is a garni
of exacting concentration, backed with
stroke equipment Jesse Guilford well
proved this at St. Louis when he wadcu
through the toughest field an amateur
ever eliminated in winning our 111In.

Potomac Stat# School Eleven Proves _
Victor In Decisive Gam# For
Secondary Title
Keyser, IV. Va.. Nov. 18 ? Potomac
State School defeated Fairmont Normal
today 21-6 in an important game to de
termine the secondary school champion
ship of the state. The game was {i
thriller for both teams played good (
football at tirjlfis and then slumped al- ^
ternately. This tended to accelerate the
Interest of the largest crowd of the sea- '
Bon and they were fair minded in rec- ]
ognlzing the merits of players from
both sides. ?
Faulkner and Stobbs played the star
game for Potomac in getting off long
runs that put Keyset- In good position
to score often but they failed on two '
occasions when near the goal line.
Faulkner's receiving of passes featured
the game for his teafn. However, the
favorite player on the held proved to
be Brown, thfe diminutive Quarterback
of the Normal team.
In the fourth quarter by a succession .
of plays and passes he practically car- "
r!ed the ball all the length of the field
for the lone touchdown for the Fair
mont l^ds.
Potomac scored one touchdown each
lg the first, second and fourth quarters.
The first came from a run. the second
from a long pass which Faulkner
caught behind the goal line and the last
resulted from a short rush directly un
der the goal.
