Face Poor PULLMAN MAN SAW HARVARD-YALE GAME Hill Williams, Stale (»llr«e Grndu* ate. Writes Interestingly of Big GanM at Cambridge The Herald Is in receipt of an In teresting letter from Hill Williams, a graduate of the State i liege, now a student at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., in which he de scribe;- the recent Han aid-. football game. His story of the game is printed in lull below: The Harvard-Yale game yesterday was the most impressive football game 1 have ever seen. The play ing itself was not so remarkable but the crowd, the enthusiasm and the intense rivalry made it a wonderful occasion 1 can still hear the Yalo battle cry and the answer from the Crimson sections across the stadium. And the two or three real features ot the game were made to stand out by this background. "Eddie" Casey was the real sen sation of the day, as he has been in every game he has played in this fall. It was his picking a forward pass out of the air and dodging the whole Yale team on his 40-yard run for a touchdown in the second per iod that proved to be the winning sensation of the day for Harvard. It was a beautiful run through a broken field and brought 50,000 people to their feet and caused about half of them to go absolutely mad when it became clear what had hap pened. And it was all the more re markable too, since two or three Eli men had been covering him on every play. The most heart breaking thing of all to the Yale supporters was the failure of Braden to make the one half yard necessary to score in the third period after the ball had been carried straight, down the field for over 40 yards on line bucks. And that is where Yale's inferiority be came most evident. With one a half yard to go for a touchdown Kemp ton called for Braden to take the ball through guard, which was de fended by "Tubby" Clark, probab ly the strongest man in the Harvard line. Braden was tired out already and simply hurled himself against the back of his own right guard. Halt, and fell back. He and Neville had been gaining consistently through left tackle and it is reason able to assume that the ball might have been put oyer through that part of the line, but the middle of the line was impassible. Again near the end of the game Yale showed a lack of that alertness that wins many football games. Casey, making his one slip of the day, fumbled the ball and it rolled clear of the mass of players and to ward three Yale men. There was not a Crimson player near and the goal line was only some 20 yards away. But, instead of trying to pick it up as Scheeru of Princeton did last Saturday, fhey fell on it. This came near the end of the game and was the last chance Yale had to scare. Braden was the most dangerous man in the Yale offensive. He is a wonderful man on a straight line buck and plowed through the heavy Crimson line time after time in the second half. He runs very low and does not seem to choose the holes very carefully but he hits so hard when going right that he makes holes. And his field goal was no thing short of a miracle. It was from the 55-yard line and was a perfect goal. Both teams relied mainly on straight football and both tailed to gain that way. It was only when Harvard opened up with a forward pass that the one touchdown of the day was made. Yale especially lacked variety. It was the same old style of football that the fathers of the present Yale generation used to down Harvard so consistently with. But it is out of date and Harvard, with a newer and more modern sys tem, was more than a match for it yesterday. About 50,000 people saw the game and almost as many more would have seen it had the big horseshoe been twice its size. Peo ple in Boston and New York offered fabulous prices for tickets but the regulations with regard to specta tors were very strict. Federal agents were on the lookout for any one who parted with his ticket for more than the $2.50 he paid for it and he was blacklisted by the col lege forever. Between halves the two rooter sections indulged in the usual rival cheering. Yale sang her famous "Bulldog" song and Harvard ans wered with a parody not at all com pimentary to the New Haven dog. The crimson "I,' was formed by the Harvard rooters at this time too >'V 'he 8e of. white and crimson A handkerchiefs.. And no matter how poorly the Yale team might be do ing the Yale backers were always there. After the final whistle, when the Harvard students piled out of the stands onto the field and formed a long swaying line of half mad stu dents the i ale rooters kept their placs and cheered resolutely for Old Eli. And finally when the mob on the field stopped in front of them and cheered them they cheered Har vard too But Harvard has really very little in the way of football standing among the other colleges of the East by her string of victories. The schedule has been too light and she has not met a really first class team all fall. There is much talk in Cam bridge now of a heavier schedule for next year and there will un doubtedly be much criticism of the management if hotter teams are not taken on. The students in general seem to want the big games and have criticised this year's schedule freely.
