'S DROP-KICKING FIELl GOAL IN i f. I s'' i tVf' l.I.IIMM BEST ELEVEN OF HIS TIME Dean Briggs Stirs Up Harvard Students. Wildly Cheered at Football Mass Meeting. Haughtons Forces Given a Great Sendoff. Football enthusiasm at Harvard reached its highest coint last night at the huge mass meeting in the Harvard Union.

The big Jiving room was jammed with students, all anxious to give voice to theip support of the Crimson eleven that had left Cambridge only a few hours before for Farmington, Conn, en route for New Haven for Its one big game of the season. With a band, the old and new football songs were rehearsed, and the college cheers were given with a zest beyond compare. The speakers included Dean Briggs, chairman of the Harvard athletic committee, J. Wells Farley and Malcolm Donald, end and tackle, respectively, on the winning eleven of 1898. Both Farley and Donald unned In expressing their keen interest in the present footoall situation at their alma mater, and their hope that the nard work that tne Crimson eleven has been through would be rew-arded with, victory at New Ilaven on Saturday.

It was more than a minute before the applause ceased when Dean Briggs rose to speak. A meeting like this makes me feel both old and young, he said, old, because I can remember the days when the nine captained by James Barr Ames, late dean of the law school, played where Memorial hall now stands, and because I remember Walter Camp as an undergraduates I feel young because we are so enthusiastic toNight. T.Ve have a right to be enthusiastic over our team. When I saw Corbett eluding the whole Dartmouth team, and Campbell and Wendell ripping through it, I felt that- it was the nextl5est thing to a victory over Yale. have seen Harvard win 17 to 0 at New Haven and I saw the 4 to 0 game two years ago, but I have never seen an eleven equal to that which represented Harvard Saturday.

I have never seen one so alert and so ready to seize every opportunity. Cornell owes its success in rowing to Courtney, as we owe it to Wray. Nichols was our greatest baseball coach. Walter Camp fills a great place in football. He is the father of the modern game, and has made Yale the power It is, but Percy Haughton we have an intelligent and versatile leader, a stern disciplinarian As a result, the Harvard team this year is the best that has ever represented the college.

Yale has learned to respect Harvard, and Saturday will truly be Harvard day At the close of the mass meeting a suggestion that the students adjourn-to Pres Lowells house spread like wildfire, and in less than five minutes the entire crowd was across the way from the Union and surging about the presidents door. In response to a vociferous cheer the piesident appeared, followed by Mr3 Lowell. He was immensely pleased with the ovation at the hands of the students, and thanked them for their good will 'We seem to have a dead sure thing this year; at least that is what I hear fiom New Haven, he said with a smile. After another cheer had been given for the president and one for Mrs Lowell the front doors of the president's home were thrown open and everybody was Invited to come inside for an impromptu reception. The president shook hands with as many as he could reach and wish-d them all a successful trip to New Haven.

He expressed a keen regret that a severe cold would prevent him from seeing the game In person. FOR HELP ON TICKETS. Harvard A. A. Office in New Haven Will Open Tomorrow, The office of the Harvard A- A.

By train and motor car an invading host will make its biennial pilgrimage from this vicinity Friday and Saturday, headed for New Haven to see the Har-vard-Yale football game. Many will be bedecked so that when they are massed in the stands on Yale field there will be one large crimson spot standing out against the background of furs and heavy topcoats. A large number will be decorated with blue, and when they are on the opposite side of the field they will help cheer and sing in friendly rivalry with those who were fellow passengers and will occupy the same relation again returning Saturday night xn Cambridge on riaay aooutx ociock, where the railroad crosses Massachusetts av, near Harvard bridge, will be throng of young fellows; the beginning of the exodus. The Boston ic Albany will start a train from there at 1.20 Friday, having both sleeping cars and coaches. The youths who go in the train and have sleeping accommodations will not have to seek what may not be found in New Haven riday evening hotel accommodations.

A number of students, realizing what that means, have already themseives on this train, which is known as the Crimson special. Exodus in Full Tide Saturday. Saturday morning the Boston Albany will send away three special grains. The first leaves the South station at 8:10 of coaches exclusively. At 8:16, the second special, with parlor cars only, will get away.

Already one entire car for this train has been sold out at Worcester, and the demand for seats here is heavy, so that It will probably go out filled barring the inevitable belated passenger. At 8:30 another train will pull out over the this one starting from Cambridge at Massachusetts av. Then there is the 9:15 tram which goes through to New York every day. This train gets' down to New Haven at a time when there is a good chance to get out to the field early, and so the parlor car seats ort this are being gobbled up. The New Haven railroad, too, has made ample preparations for handling big crowd.

There will be a throng go down Friday on the regular trains. Saturday morning, however, will see the big mob start and there will be special trains for its accommodation. The first of these will be the parlor car special that pulls out at 8:05, arriving in New Haven at 11:55. That will be a heavy train is indicated by the demand for tickets. Harvard Limited at 8:30.

Then there will be the Harvard limited at 8'30 a vestibuled train for Harvard students exclusively. It was arranged for in response to a demand by students who wanted to make the trip in a body. The third special will leave at 8.36 and it will be a regular coach train that will take care of the overflow. Then there are the regular trains for New York and the Colonial express for Washington, which passes through New Haven, all of which will tit in nicely in solving the transportation problem. The Colonial leaves at 8 and gets down to New Haven before noon.

As it has parlor cars it will no doubt have moie than Its usual quota. Then there is the 801 for New York, having coaches and parlor cars, whicn gets to New Haven in ample time to allow passengers to- get a lunch before the game. If anyone happens to be too late for any one of these trains, he may possibly get a chance on the Bay State limited that leaves at 10 and which lands hustler in New Haven in time to get out and see the greater part of the game. What the Wise Ones Do. There has been big demand for parlor car seats back from the gaexp.

Those who have been to other games and know the ropes have already sent to friends In New York and had them buv parlor-car seats on the Merchants limited, which leaves New York at 5 and gets to Boston at 10. Thev have had them marked to be taken at New Haven, but order to be sure of them they have paid the full fare for train and seat tickets from New York. Those who have not yet done so are trying to figure out a way to do it. Other afternoon trains leaving New York will also be booked up the same way before Saturday, and those figuring on coming to Boston from other parts of the country by way of New York will be very much astonished Saturday at the scarcity of parlor-car accommodations perhaps. To meet the demand some of the trains may be run in sections.

i With the Motor Contingent. Then there is the motor contingent. Many of these people will start Friday afternoon and spend the night at Hartford, Meriden, Springfield, New Britain and other cities where they can be accommodated and then after a nice Meakfast will motor to the game. Others will start eaiiv Saturdav morning and oo a lot of hustling getting through to New Haven. With fine state roads from here to Springfield and pretty good roads the rest of the way, it will not be a hard task to get down to New Haren In time to see the battle.

Many of the local dealers are going down because they have been Invited by customers who figured that a trip iu an automobile was worth a ticket to the game The dealers believe it a fair exchange. So these parties, with the hundreds of others in their own machines, will make a large motor contingent- Harvard-Yale Game Reproduction.

I a y-s' 4i -y of-N PHILBIN s- 4.iJ V- vanced 20 yarns Philbin dropped ids field goal. Shortly after the kickoff a brilliant 30-yard run by Philbin through the Indians left wing, and then across to the right side line, started another advance, which, with a 15-vard forward pass from Philbin to Logan, reached the Indians eight-yard line. Here on third down Philbin missed a try for another drop kick goal by only a few feet. Before the period ended the law school men carried the ball from their own 48-yard line to the Indians 25-yard line in eight plays, including two pretty forward passes which were successful, Philbin then making another forward pass over -the middle of the rush line which hit Logan the Yale end sped after the ball, but could not reach it until it had just passed over the Carlisle goal line. Otherwise a touchdown would have been easy.

In the second period Philbin started with a 40-yard run-in of the kickoff, and White followed with a 38-yara run around the Indians right left wing, then to drop the ball when tackled on the side line. Soon after this Fish recovered an onside kick after tipping Wauseka over. Harvard advancing to the Indians 35-yard line, where the ball was lost on downs, as a short forward pass went to the Carlisle center rush. Late in the second half one of Fhil-bin's kicks was blocked on the 40-yard line, but the Yale veteran quykly recovered the ball and very cleverly on his 13-yard mark. Then, before the game ended, a recovered onside kick by Fish put the bail well down into the visitors territory, where a brilliant run by Philbin reached the 10-yard line, a few yards beyond which a poor pass from center spoiled the chances of scoring.

A short kick followed and Fish had recovered a forward pass on thel5-yard line just as time was called. The Indians had seveial good offensive rallies Thev ripped off three first downs In the second period, although in their own territory, ana on plays in which Wauseka drove at either side of center, or to pass the ball to Burd, Lonefatar or Jordan. The same style of play pulled the Indians out of their danger zone in the third period, and In the fourth, when they woiked a splendid forward pass from Wauseka to Arcasa to Wheelock, Carlisles braves had a first down on Harvard 30-vard line But here the chances to score were spoiled when Braekhn dropped the ball trying to make an end run. Except at this time the Indians never were within 48 yards of the All Stars oaI line The Indians 'did not plav with their usual zest, showing the effects of their hard campaign this fall. The ex college men, however, showed wonderful ability to follow the ball, and it was this more than anything else that the 1 team as a w'hole did at all times.

There were some good offensive plays, and only the -desperate tackling of the Indians prevented Philbin, White, Moore and Pfeiffer from making more long gains than they did. The All Stars tackling also was hard, and It will be a long time before the Indians quite forget some of the tosses they got. Ham Fishs game was a splendid success It not onlv was a splendid exhibition on the whole, but was a contest that made a lot of friends for the revised football. The attendance should have oeen larger, but those that saw the match weic glad they came, and should there be another game next year, there wont tie one of the 500 who saw yesterdays match missmj troin the sidelines.

Maybe Philbin wouldnt help Yales baekfleld this fall. Joe Pendleton will have several boxes of cigars down at New Haven. The reason, he says, Is the arrival at New Rochelle of Homer Emerson Pendleton, a future Bowdoin college halfback Pi Blake and John Decrov were at Cambridge yesterday looking for officials for the annual football game between battery A and the 1st corps cadets. which will be played in the sta dium Thanksgiving morning. Robirtson had his Brown football players on the sidelines at the stadiunj yesterday.

Carlisle will be at Providence a week from Thursday. When the Harvard team left Back Bay station yesterday it was cheered by the Brown team, which had just come In from Providence. Harvard men returned the compliment. Hope you beat em worse than we did, waa the farewell as the train rolled out. Two Indians had a hand in giving the signals for Carlisle yesterday.

One man began the signals and another ended them. Wauseka, the biggest Indian in yesterdays game, is the chap who, in his excitement, took a punch at Bill JOd-wards down at Philadelphia one day last season- If some of the All-Stars had played in college the way they played yesterday more of them would have been included in Walter Camps All-America lists. Glenn Warner Is anxious to get on a game with the Harvard varsity another year. From a financial point of view It always was Carlisle's best game, and the proceeds of the football season for years have been used to furnish the Indian students with entertainments for which goveinment funds are not foith-comlng. Coach Nelly of Weit Point objected to having Joe Pendleton officiate at the Army-Navy game, because of one of the decisions in the Harvard-Army game which did not please the Army coaches.

FARMINGTON. Conn. Nov 17 The Harvard varsity football squad arrived at Farmington tonight just 14 minutes behind its scheduled time, with every man in fine fettle and keen for the big supper awaiting them. The athletic association had placed at their disposal two parlor cars, and there were ample accommodations for the 34 players, coaches Haughton and Blagden, managers deWmdt and Stre fall ng, Dr Nichols and Pooch Dono-ans training staff of five assistants, together with numerous carboys of the Crimsons fayorite spring water. As the squad assembled at Back Bay station for the 2 o'clock train, the Brown arsity players got off the Providence train, having come up for the All-Stars Carlisle game.

Capt Withington led a cheer for the husky Brown men as a mark of appreciation lor the splendid showing they have made throughout the season. At the Hartford station, as well as at the electric car traces, where special cars were waiting to transport the big Crimson squad to Farmington, large crowds of local tootball fans were assembled to get a look at the husky W'arnors that are expected to turn the trick on Saturday. As the hungry squad piled out at Farmington and made a dash for the inn the men found llaivard colors everywhere. Crimson bunting streamed across the entrance. Harvard banneis hung In profusion In the office and dining room, and the arterial color even from the jovial countenance of Jimmie Rvan, manager of the Inn.

A ith 47 men to take care of, 1 anager Rvan was obliged to send the overflow, including three of the varsity players, to private quarters the neighborhood Practically all of the squad and coach Haughton lined up for the big food scrimmage at the Farmington C. The managers ana oihis were ac-tommodateJ at ihe mn. With the exception of Ted Frothingham every man who will trot onto the field against Vale is now on hand here for the finishing touches under coach Haughton and his staff Ted Frothingham is the only man this year whose chances to get into the Tale game on account of injury or sickness are somewhat in doubt. He has had a severe cold for some fime and was not allowed to enter the Dartmouth game. Since then his condition has improved, but not as much as Dr Nichols had hoped, and there is a possibility that he will not start the game.

In case Frothingham is not allowed to enter the final contest Wendell will undoubtedly start the game, with Corbett Leslie as running mates, and with a lot of speedy substitutes on hand no fear are felt at the Harvard quarters for the showing of the Crimson back-field, As so on as the squad bioke away from the dining tables a conference of the coaches followed, after which it was given out that the entire squad would take the It 44 train tomorrow for New Haven and all dress for practice on Yale field. This is quite a change from the plans announced jbsterday, which were to the effect that only a squad of about men, rqade up of the backs and ends, -hould be taken aovvn it is coach llaughtons idea, however, that the entire squad may as well get the benefit a visit to Saturdays battleground. If the forwards should be left behind at Farmington thev would have nothing to do to keep them out of mischief, and while the ends and backs are getting accustomed to the range and hght of the Yale field the big red line will also have a chance to feel perfectly at home there when they jog ouV to meet their rivals in blue. Accordingly, all hands will board a special car front Farmington tomorrow, lunch at the Yale dining hall and spend the hour between 1 JO and 2 JO in the afternoon on Yale tJeld, returning to Farmington in time for dinner at 6 clock. In the short time on the field the squad will have some signals together as varsity and substitute teams, but most of the time will be put in on the punting department, with Felton and Minot, and Lewis.

Wiggles worth and Potter will be given a chance to test their skill at scoring field goals. Coaches Leary and Paul With-ington. W'ith Ted Frothingham. are expet ted to join the squad at New Haven time to go to the field, arriving from Boston about noon The program Friday will be much lighter than that of todaj, as the whole squad will be kept out in the region of Farmington, resting and storing up energy for the game.

The gates, w'llch have not been open to the public sin'a the Brown game, were again closed.

The varsity played agali3t the strongest team that the coacIs could pick from among the scrubs the freshmen. Against this comb nation, which is a pretty good one, the 'arsity scored six times, Tom Shevlin was agai1 the active coach of the day, and le used open plays and tried out the vstern plays of Dr Harry Williams, Yale '91, for the last time.

By DUDLEY S. DEAN. Saturdays game at New Haven, in my opinion, should and will be a close, hard contest. Harvard, however, has more legitimate reasons for looking for a win than ha Yale. If the rules of 1910 were those of a year back a Harvard victory could hardly be forestalled on Nov 19, for the Crimson eleven possesses certain elements of team-scrimmage ability in the power to advance the ball by straight plunging tactics that in 1909 would have proved Irreslstile against the material Yale presents today, and jyith an eleven certainly as well rounded as is Yales in general open play and kicking tactics, the scrimmage offence superiority of Cambridge would have been the deciding factor and there could have been but one result.

But this is tne ear 1910 and not 1909. Yale coaches say Harvard cannot gain through the Eli line consecutively, and Coy, in particular, says that the Harvard eleven is playing in the past and knows no 1910 open football; or, in other words, that Harvard today is in the position of Y'ale when Brown trounced her i two weeks back. Yale further expects to make as much impression on the Harvard forwards by rushing the bait as the Crimson does on the Blue Rarely Anything Vital Held Back. Toward the close of every season a lot is heard of what such and such a team has in in the way of new plays, ob w'hat she has up her sleeve. It is the exception that proves the rule that said team has nothing really vital that has been hidden.

Of course, assistant head coach Shev-lms mysterious wing shifts may be the case of such an exception, and it may be that said shifts will, absolutely for the first time in football history, he admitted to be the factor that turned a Yale victorv I rather think, however, that if Y'ale wins she will concedediv have been entitled to win Irrespective of the wing shift from the golden west of which a little more is said later. Instead of reserve surprises, theie-fore, it is much safer to base conclusions on what has been shown; and taking the two elevens on such a basis I believe their respective play in recent games has developed reasonable assurances, in general, as follows; For Harvard. (1) The ability to keep the opponent in his own territory when that opponent tries straight scrimmage offence, and conversely to forge well toward the opponents goal line bv similar tactics wnen the ball is Harvard's. At West Point the ball was hardly ever in Harvard territory, and the same is true of the game. The trouble in the Army contest was Harvards lack of consecutive gains by rushing, though last Saturdav this feature was better.

The score is the thing and not the near-score, and it doesnt matter how much you are in the other fellows yaid if y0u dont cross-the goal-line or score by a field goal. (2) The ability to play something of an open game, at least, as witness the contest with Cornell; and what Harvard showed in this respect against Cornell was not very far below the Yale showing similarly against Princeton. (3 The ability to play as a team, pai-tieularly in the way of interference, whether in close formation or the open field, as shown to a fairly satisfactory extent in ail of Harvards last three game 4) The spirit of winning, for to date Harvard is undefeated. 5) The ability to play a kicking game and to score at times by field goals. Harvards kicking game is not world breaking and is.

perhaps, not as good ns Browns, and certainly she has no sure man for field goals like Spracklmg; vet the Crimson is not wofully deficient if kicks are to be exchanged, and she has fair Individual players who may score through a drop or placement. Thus, in mv opinion. Harvard is a f3irly well-rounded eleven and not a team good In one respect and in no others, or at least extremelv weak in some one depai tment of the game. As to Yale. For Y'ale, the assurances of the past seem to point: (1) To an eleven strong against all opponents to date in scrimmage defence when straight tactics are alone employed against her (2) An eleven that can now hold safe an opponent who is counting upon victory through the efforts of an Individual star, for Yale will lay her plans for that star and checkmate him pretty effectually.

13) A team that is composed of hard fighters and players, who, in despite of discouragements, have surmounted adversity and to some extent turned tiie scales, till confidence, once lost, has been largely regained. An eleven that will do well, at least offensively, at the kicking game so far as it relates to punting. fo) The ability of Yale to make a fair scrimmage offence showing by straightaway means, and to play a fairly good open game in the way of onside kicks and forward passes. Advantage With Harvard. If Yale and Harvard can count on the above, therefore, as being reasonably certain learned lessons, which of the lessons will be of the more value Saturday- and which team consequently has the better chance for a win? I think the answer is that the advantage should lie with Harvard, for i think she Is as good in practically all respects as is Yale, and better in some.

For instance, I think the Crimson offence is better than Yales, sand that Harvard should be more than once in very favoi able position to score by touchdown, or rather, more probably, score by a drop kick. Defensively-, too, at the punting game, the Crimson should be the better. Howe Is certainly to be watched if he gets a chance for a long run from a caught punt, for he is fast and tlippery on the TV A V. 5T V1" N. jf -e.

7 vX PHILBINS BEST RUN, ONE order of Philbin last year; yet I now trust Harvard for the running back of punts more than I do Yale. In the matter of team interference and team tackling Cambridge will be ashamed unless she a little more than equals Yale. In tne morale of her eleven, in that she has been winning consistently, that there is the spirit of harmony and fellowship among the playing and coaching staff and that not a single player on the squad knows anything else but winning this year, there is an advantage in sight for the Crimson. Yale will play desperately and all that, and if Harvard is going to be overconfident or careless or off her best efforts the Yale desperation will profit accordingly, but the spirit of desperation Is not the healtny winning spirit, and rarely ever will be against a worthy oppohent who has the spirit of power and results accomplished. In possible mysticisms of wing shifts alone, and one or more onside kicks or forward passes cleverly executed, do I think Yale has any legitimate ad vantage by Bl shade over Harvard Saturday.

To utilize this advantage Yale has Howe and Kilpatrick, and they are dangerous men. Harvard must watch them pretty constantly, and not neglect her other game in so doing. Yale Likely to Be Fooled. The Yale line of forwards Is a good line. I dont think It is any better than Harvard's and where the Elis believe they have marks in Perkins at center and Minot at left guard they are likely to be fooled.

Each player nas faults, to be sure, and Perkins is not the surest passer of the bail that could be wished; but Harvard has had a way in late years in developing a good line. Thus, w'hile the Crimson may not be quite as strong as in 1909 In her forwards, she is not weak there and, bv the wav. Harvard forwards of 1909 were the strongest team seven since the Gordon Brown year at Yale, or, in other words, Harvards line last year was better than Y'ale's and it was no fault of the forwards that Yale won. In the batkfield I shall be greatly disappointed if Potter and Wigglesworth da not match up to the Howe or Corev standard and more, while Corbett and Warden ought to have a slight call over Yales two halves For fullback there is Morrison and la-slle for Harvard and lvistler and Derning for Yale. Leslie Is handicapped by lack of work Peming has his reputation to make outside Ills punting.

Altogether, Harvard has a more veteran crowd than has Yale. This is not aiwajs an advantage, ror at times veterans think thev cannot be taught and hence they retrograde. But taxe XY lth-ington, one of the best captains Harvard ever had, and who has twice rowed on a crew that defeated Yale, and who helped win against a superior Yale football team (on paper) In 18; McKav, who has tasted of Yale football defeat and Is always at 'his best in a big game; Bob Usher, one of the best guards Harvard lias had in years; Minot, who is selected as the mark, but in whom the Crimson- has confidence, Corbett, the half, and Leslie all seniors, or at least In last year of Harvard football and I ventuie tnat such a nucleus Js not to be gainsaid without better than Yale has snown to date, and will not rest on less than their best effoits in Saturday's game through that terrible Has Right to Expect Win. Cambridge university has the right to expect a win from her eleven and vhe very best effort of every man thereon from th first blow of the w'histie. Such effort given, and I thoroughly believe the verdict will be Harvards not because the eleven is a world beater, but oecause it is a strong team and typical of Harvards best.

That the Crimson shall play the football that is in them is what Is wanted That the officials shall see that the Shevlin wing-shift comes to an absolute stop and that there are seven ror-warrls actually on the line of scrimmage, at rest, so to say, before the ball is snapped; and that the Foster San-ford-coached Eli line does not tian-scend the limits of legitimate hard play are something for the officials to decide, and quite likely for the captains and officials to discuss somewhat before the first whistle but they ar9 incidentals, providing every Harvard plaver plays through to 3os to his limit and to his proven capacity. Thai (lone, and notwithstanoing the luck of the isio rules. I again am willing vto rest my case with Harvard. i want to emr haize the fact that It will be a close, hard game. I have seen too many forecasts of runaways between Harvard and Yale and.

taking at random a Yale sample, just look back to Tom Shevlins year of Eli captaincy, wnen a far better Yale team, advertised to slaughter llarvmrd, barely won the very last stretch by a muffed Harvard punt. F0LL0WEDJ3Y CHEERS. Harvard Football Forck, 47 in the Party, Leaves Cambridge for Saturdays Game at Yale. After one of the greatest ovations ever tendered a Harvard team on its departure for New Haven, the big Crimson. football squad, including regulars, substitutes, coaches, managers, traln-eis, attendants, 47 In all, left Cambridge at 1:10 yesterday afternoon and the Back Bay station at 2:04 for Farming-ton, Conn, on the first stage of its trip to New naven.

Fully 1500 students were gathered about the two special cars that were to convey the players to the Back Bay station. Cheer after cheer, both for the individual plajers and for the team as a whole, was given with a will As the cars moved away the cheering redoubled and was continued as long as the cars could he seen. Coach Haughton, before leaving, said the men weie all in the finest condition, and so they Surely appeared The work of the training season in Cambridge has been brought to a fitting conclusion, and now both students and players are looking forward to Saturdav, when they can Invade Yale field in full force. Fully two-thirds of the college will start Friday afternoon or Saturday morning for New Haven. INDIANS LOSE TO ALL-STARS Continued From the First Page.

direct passes; he did the kicking, most of the running, tackled like a demon and alwrays was plunged head-first into every scrimmage. And when Philbin wasnt doing something Ham Fish was. Ham was on the Indians plays, was down the field after Philbins and Pfeiffers forward passes, was standing the Redskins on their) heads and always was on the spot when the ball was fumbled or when there was a chance to recover an onside kick. These two stars gave a wonderful exhibition; not a flashy one, but one that was a continuous moving picture, brilliantly colored. Fish, however, wasnt as spectacular as was Philbin.

The Yale man was everywhere, and how he did run! Time and again he ripped through the Indians line, and two of his end runs will be talked of for many a day. Perhaps one of the best estimates of Philbins work -yesterday may be suggested by what the writer heard an old Harvard end rush of 20 years or so ago say, as he was leaving the field. That boys a wonder, he said; but, believe me, I never supposed that I would ever stand up on my seat in the stadium yelling like a madman at a Yale football player because he was the whole show. Philbin started off early In the game by running back a kick 25 yards to the middle of the field. By and by.

after Fish had taken a short Indian kick, Philbin kicked a goal from the field, and not long after following his 30-yard run the Y'ale man missed another goal by oniy few feet. Then, before the half ended, Philbin made a forward pass to Logan, which, had the old yard end recovered a second earlier, would have given the law school a touchdown instead of resulting as a touchback, as the ball went out yf the field of play. In the second half Philbin was there again. He ran back the kickoff nearly 40 yards, leaving three Indians who had been in his path stretched on the sod. Tatter he made a 48-yard kick over the scrimmage and then went down the field and recovered the ball, which an Indian had dropped.

Soon after this he got in the way of an Indian fom ard pass and possibly saved a touchdown. Then, when one of his own kicks was blocked, he scampered after the ball and recovered it on his 13-jard line, at once to boot it far out of danger. And finally Philbin pulled half the Indian team along with him to Carlisles 10-yard line, from where Harvard would have scored again but for a fumble that lost the ball on downs. And jplulbin did some great forward passing and kicking beside all this. Perhaps the reader may wonder what there remained for Ham Fish or any one else to do, but there was a lot.

Fish towered above every one else on the field, and It was a treat to watch him. First he pulled down a Carlisle kick on, the Indians 35-yard line and opened the w-ay to the field goal that won the game. Soon after he pounced on the Indians quarterback on Carlisles 10-yard lme, and shortly after the return kick pulled out a fumbled forward pass from under fhe heap of players. Not long after he tackled Wanseka so ha- that he dropped a kick, Fish then bounding after the ball and getting it for himself for a gain of 45 yards. And just before the end of the game he rescued another onside kick, when every one on the field seemed nearer to have a better chance for the ball than he.

These were only a few of the things that Fish did yesterday, for he always was where the ball was, and when the Indians had It many a play of theirs was tossed back by the Cambridge 1909 leader. At times Fish was so energetic that he got through and lost the play altogether, but the more he slipped up the harder he came back. Pfeiffer of Princeton and Bob White of Harvard both added spectacular features to the game by long runs Once White ran around the Indians left wing for 38 yards, only to drop the ball because he was shifting it to get a free arm for interference, not knowing tl at an Indian was pouncing upon him irom behind. The ends and the rushers also gave their stars some splendid support, Logan of Yale and Triggs of Holy Cross recovering some forward passes that Pfeiffer and Philbin cleverly executed. Paul Withington got into the game a little while for the law school team, but after ho was fooled once he was right on the works.

Carlisle had some clever plays and made some of them go. Their most effective series of plays came when Wau-seka dived toward the rushline, then turned toward his own goal and passed the ball to an end or tackle running from position at the opposite side of the line. Wauseka himself was the oniy Carlisle back that could make any impression on the Harvard line, but even he sometimes was completely mothered. Harvard outrushed Carlisle jexterdav and at all tunes had tho game In hand. The All Stais five times were within the 25-yard line and it would not have taken much luck for a larger score to have been made.

The score was made on Harvards first opportunity. A short onide kick was caught by Fish on Carlisle's line and after four plays had ad.
