10 HARVARD'S FINE FORM. The Team Well Together in the Cornell Game Cambridge, October 30.—Harvard’s football players are at last together. In the game with Cornell this after- noon they played as one man.. The game means a great deal to the players and coaches who have been struggling for two months past to secure com- bined effort. It means that Harvard will win from Yale two weeks from to- day, unless the coaches at New Haven can succeed in the short time remain- ing in securing a like united action on the part of the Yale team. It will re- quire the best efforts of Yale’s best coaches to accomplish this. Old Har- vard players are flocking to Cambridge from all quarters to lend assistance in preparing for this first football meet- ing with Yale since the Camp-Brooks treaty was effected. Yale’s football alumni ought not to be outdone in loyalty to their team. It is certainly true that during the past week Harvard has made more rapid advance than Yale. Your corre- spondent has witnessed the practice at the Yale Field during the week. The play is hard and the men are in earnest, but the team is not together. The in- terference is not clean and spontane- ous. The next two weeks must work wonders, both in defensive and offen- sive play. The indomitable spirit which has characterized Yale athletics can, of course, prevent a Harvard victory. It is this that Harvard coaches fear. The game between Harvard and Newtowne last Wednesday was a very ordinary exhibition. It was poor foot- ball from the start. A spell of ennui seemed to have taken possession of the Harvard team, and it soon affected the on-lookers as well. But to-day marked a new period in Harvard’s long season of preparation. Mutuality was the key of her offensive and defensive play. For the first half of the game the Cornell eleven, which had almost. played Princeton ‘to’*''a standstill, held its ground and the whis- tle blew for the intermission with the score 6 to 5. It seemed anybody’s game when play was renewed, but Har- verd had team work to spare. It was three men against one whenever the home team sent its formations against the opposing line. Cornell wavered. First a safety was scored, which, but for a questionable decision of the ref- eree, would probably have been a touchdown. Play started from the 25- yard mark, and again Harvard forced the fighting. Cornell was fairly on the run. Her players could not stop Dibblee and Parker from turning the ends, nor Boal from perforating the center. From a struggle for suprema- cy, it developed into an exhibition of Harvard’s prowess. Three touchdowns were scored and the final result was 24 to 5. YOUNG'S FINE WORK. For the Ithacans, the work of quar- ter-back Young was brilliant. He eas- ily outpunted Warren, and so kept down Harvard’s score. His tackling behind Cornell’s line cut short Har- vard’s gains and prevented touch- downs. His crowning achievement was a pretty goal from the field, which spoiled Harvard’s clean record and contributed a little glory to a battle that was otherwise a Waterloo. The goal was made possible by a fumble of Dibblee near the middle of the first half. After ten yards had been gained by turtle-back wedges, Harvard’s well- organized defense checked further ad- vance and made the trial for a goal the last resort. Harvard’s concluding touchdown was made in the dusk by an old-time trick. Only two minutes re- mained. The Harvard backs started on a rush for the right of the Cornell line, and while the Ithacans were rac- ing to head off the play, Mills took the ball and swung to the right for a sixty- yard run and a touchdown. _Mr. Dashiel’s umpiring was impar- tial, and his insistence on strict observ- ance of the rules refreshing. The game showed clearly on what Harvard depends for her scoring play. When near the Cornell goal, she drops one guard and one end back for a tandem formation. The forwards open up the center for the guard who se- cures the. ball, and, with three men pushing behind, he takes the ball as he reaches the line and tears through. Boal kept his feet wonderfully in these plays and dashed through for successive gains. On one occasion he hurdled the line and gained twenty yards. Bouve is also a suceessful ground- gainer on this play. Boal and Bouve will probably be the guards in the Yale game, forcing out Shaw. Swain has now permanently displaced Wheeler at left-tackle. Warren is given the pref- erence over Haughton at full-back, but is an indifferent player. Garrison has earned his title clear to the quarter- back position. Harvard is weak in the kicking game. If she wins, it will be in spite of this defect.

Several new mass plays have been tried, which may be effective against a strong line. The game with Dartmouth showed some loose playing, which is hoped will be remedied shortly. The Freshman game with Yale is undecided and may not take place this year. The University team as a whole is playing fast football and, as yet, have not been scored against this season. eR aS a Sa University Club Elections, The following men have been elected members of the University Club: T.
