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.

Work of the Princeton Team.
Princeton, Nov. 2.—A decided im-
provement in the play of the Prince-
ton University football team has been
noticed the past week. 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.
