BOSTON SUNDAY POST, OCTOBER 24, 1920 Detail Story of Stadium Game Kentuckians Uphold Their Gridiron Reputation by Giving Harvard Great Battle BY WILTON VAUQH Harvard had a better football team than Centre College yesterday after-, noon in the Stadium and that is why the Fishermen won by a 31 to 14 score. UPHELD REPUTATION The wonder college machine from Kentucky, however, proved undlsputa- bly that it deserved many of the kind words that had been said about it. Never before had a more compelling', a more spectacular or a more exciting contest been held In the Crimson horseshoe before a throng 40,000 football fans. They saw a versatile offence that carried the well-grounded Cantabrigians off their feet at times. They saw a fighting band of Kentucky who played every inch of the with their heart and soul.

They saw one of the fastest, shiftiest and hardest tackling lot of playei-s of a lifetime. And they saw HarvarJi, built on the Haughton-Fisher system, win a worthy battle over a worthy foe by tightlng also to the last ditch anrt using their brains as well as their brawn in working out their way to victory. It the fundamentals of the game, drilled the Harvard players for the past two months, that served in the end as a master stroke. And, finally, they saw the rival captains. Horween of and McMillin of Centre, play the greatest football they knew how.

Centre Wins Toss Kentucky luck gave Centre the first of the game, Captain McMillin winning the toss. He chose to defend the bowl goal, r.nd Harvard had to kick off into a stiff north wind. Faxon lifted the spheroid higti and far and it landed in arms on the Centre lO-yard line. And here came the first thrill of the game. The fieet-footed thoroughbred raced iS before he was dragged to the ground.

McMillin took the ball himself, and the strong Crimson line yielded only two yards and, after Roberts could gain only a single step, Whit, nell dropped back and kicked, a favorable wind carrying the ball to Owen on the Harvard stripe. Line Like Granite This one try at the Harvard line convinced McMillin that the Crimson forwards were invulnerable. Captain Horween was backing up his forwards and proving a tower of granite before the Southern onslaught. He was Just starting the most brilliant contest of his life, not excepting the New Day battle with Oregon, in which he crowned himself with all kinds of glory. Already the Harvard line was proved Pdamant; the Centre College line-buck- tng offence inadequate.

Right after, the Centre forward defence appeared to be the weakest link in the Kentucky team as the Harvard backs started their drive down the field 70 yards to a touchdown. Machine in High Oeorge Owen, the Newton halfback, through right tackle for five yards and Churchill skipped past right end for seven yards and a first down on the Harvard 42-yard streak. Only smashing tackle stopped the Crimson speedster from going through the team. HORWEEN PRESENTS BALL TO Captain Arnold Horween of i Harvard did a very gracious thing at the conclusion of the game terday when he went over to the group of downhearted Centre Col- i lege men who were trying to give Harvard a cheer and presented i Captain Bo McMillin with the football, and In a few well-chosen words congratulated the leader on his wonderful playing.

But the Centre players were offside and had to be penalized five yards to tlieir own 44-yard line. 22 Yards on Forward Pass McMillin engineered another forward P5U-S with Whitnell on the recelv'ing end 1 and it was good for 22 yards. This was a beautiful piece of work.

The cool Centre leader took the ball, looked over his field and then tossed the oval far down over the line of scrimmage to Whitnell, who was not covered by the Harvard backs. A driving tackle by Captain Horween brought down the Centre flier. McMillin dashed off right tackle for eight yards and Roberts shot off the same position for another yard. Then the Harvard line showed its true mettle, but it was a little late. All the Kentuckians needed was a single yard for a first down, but it took two plays to get that distance, as all McMillin and Annstrong could get was a half yard each on line bucks.

That gave Centre first down on the Harvard line. around left find for seven yards, bounc- Ing off two or three Harvard players and only giving in to Captain Horween. McMillin spiked through left tackle again for one yard, Faxon holding him up. Then Roberts shot through the same hole for two yards and a first down on the Harvard 13-yard line. On 13-Yard Line It did not seem possible that the Harvard line could hold back McMillin, Roberts, Whitnell and Armstrong, thp speedy Kentucky quartet, only 13 yards away from the goal line.

And they could not, but they did a good Job at that. The teams had sidled over near the sideline and McMillin carried the ball outside so that £ie could return to the middle of the field, where he could open up his game. He pretended to skirt left end, but Instead passed the ball to Whitnell, who was running acrohci to right end. Owen was on the qui vlve, however, and chased Whitnell the Centre side line, where he tackled him for a two- yard loss. Centre Springs Trick The nexi play was a unique one.

And then Weaver kicked another goal after touchdown, which gave Centre a to 7 lead and sent the Centre bupporters into a frenzy. Roberts kicked off to Churchill who dropped the ball on his own 10-yard line, only to snatch it up again and dfiBh 15 yards farther on.

Churchill took the ball on the next play and Roberts stood between him and a broken field. Two Harvard tacklers tore down on of wonders.

Owen made it a first down at mldfield. Hamilton bucked centre for a yard as he was tackled by Roberts, who sneaked aiound left end again. Owen tapped right gaurd for five yards, and on the ne.xt play hurled a lO-yard forward pass to I'Mtzgerald, but the Criniaoii quarterback was a little too eager to get away on his journey. As a result he dropped thf ball and was lucky to recover it. Great Dash Owen punted to the Centre flve-yard line and the Kentuckians let it die there.

WAS A BIG LEAGUE GAME This crucial battle for the league title was witnessed by a crowd of some 5003 lovers of the peppery fall game. Many of these unable to secure tickets for the classic between Harvard and Centro in the Stadium, Just naturally had to satisfy their desire to watch a battle over the barred turf, and so trotted out to Claflln Field, Newtonville, where the big scholastic treat of the season was on tap.

Not since Sylvia McLaughlin took charge of the Red and Blue, a year ago, has goal line been crossed, with the exception of the couple of times the Toledo, schoolboy champs scored on Somerville in winning that post-season game In the West last year. Somerville was considered most formidable foe this fall, but the businesslike manner with which the visitors ripped and tore through Somerville yesterday conclusively brought out that the Orange and Black has quite a bit on the burly Somervllleltes.

SOCCER PLAYER jaiLED Quincy Man Breaks His Neck During Contest Robert Paton, 36 years, of 30 Cherry street, Quincy, died almost instantly of injuries received yesterday afternoon during a soccer game at the Fore River Field at Quincy. The accident occurred durlngr the second period of a hard fought contest between the Maple Leafs of Quincy, an organization representing the Canadian veterans of that city, and the Braintree Welfare Club. Both teams were playing their hardest to break the tie of 1 to 1 when Paton recovered the ball and started working It down the field alone. Clever footwork on his part gave the Braintree rooters reason to feel Paton was going to score and they sent up a hearty cheer as he booted the ball with a well directed kick for tho goal.

As the ball sailed Into the air Paton collapsed, and players thinking ho had twisted his knee, ran to his as- 1 distance. They found him unconscious, with his head doubled up In back of his shoulder. A physician was called who said it appeared his neck Was broken and Medical Examiner Jones, who viewed the mains, confirmed the diagnosis. It is believed that Paton lost his balance he kicked and fell on his shoulder with such force his head struck the ground. The game Immediately suspended and reports of the accident filtered through the community.

In it short time it reached home, a short distance fi'om the field. Mrs. who was recently discharged from the hospital and is almost an invalid, heard of it and managed to pet out of doors alone and start for the field. Although greatly handicapped she reached the gate where friends went to her assistance. her own line, and while tho players were lining up the officials penalized the Crimson two yards for delaying the game.

So he circled tho left flank again for five more yards. The Crimson ends were boxed often by the fighting Kentucky players and they were surprised as often by the new sweeping runs of the Kentucky backs. In the second half, however, they showed a vast im- provament over their earlier work.

Roberts made five yards around the flank and McMillin followed with a shorter gain around the same wing, the left. Then thft Kentucky captain tried a forward pass to Moran, son of tho tro coacli, but the Harvard halfbacks wero playing right for the Centre open work after Intermission and they spoiled tho attempt, forcing Roberts to punt to the Harvard 15-yard lino. Fitzgerald sprinted back 111 yards to his own 2S-yard line. Tt was here that the gang in the bowl started to howl for the Kentucky team to so loud that the Crimson players could not hear the signals. True sportsmen that they were, the Kentucky backs waved their arms for silence.

Owen tried a bang at the line but lost four yards as the third period ended, with Harvard still holding a 24 to 14 lead. Horween Gets Pass Churchill went in again for HamlHon and punted to Moran, who fumbled and recovered on his own SO-yacd line.

But another offsido play and the Crimson took the handicap, which them a first down on the three-yard stretch. Horween dented the centre for two yards and then dived over the scrimmage line for a touchdown.

Faxon kicked the goal. Score, Harvard 31, Centre 14. relieved Owen of the Harvard team, and Bartlett took place in the Kentucky tackfield. Faxon kicked off to tho new Centre substitute, he showed he had the stuff by racing 12 yards to his own 22-yard stripe, where Faxon, who had again led the Crimson tacklers down under his own kick, threw the Kentucky runner. A McMillin to Bartlett lateral pass wont for naught, but a second pass from McMlllln, this time to King, netted yards.

Harvard was penalized 15 yards for holding and two more yards for delaying the game. McMillin slipped the ball to Bartlett, who tossed it to Snoddy. Humphrey rushed In on the play and drove tho Mountaineer wingman out of bounds. Snoddy kept R'ving Humphrey the Jab, but the Crimson back would not let go of his leg. To bring Snoddy down Captain Horween had to tackle him and throw him to the ground outside the sideline.

The ofilclals thought this was an infraction of the rule. It was; so they penalized 15 yards for roughing a receiver of a forward after he had run outside the field of play. Centre Scoring Foiled McMlllln shot a forward to King and the latter went 15 yards, which gave Centre the ball on the Harvard tive- yard line. McMlllln tried another pass to Bartlett, who crossed behind his line and shot off right end, but three Harvard tacklers were waiting for him. McMillin tried to skirt left end, but Jewett the Crimson quarterback, threw him for a three-yard loss.

A Bartlett to Snoddy forward failed to materialize when Havemeyer Jumped in and threw the Centre runner for a loss. This formidable stand of the Harvard line, holding the Centre College eleven five yards of the goal, was a proud vindication of the Crimson forwards and the hustling backs. Captain Horween, although he had been In the midst of the fray every minute, smashed off tackle and away for a 3S-yard run on the play of the Crimson offence. The Centre College tacklers pounded down on the Crimson captain and were penalized 15 yards for roughing it. On a fake kick formation, Gratwlck slipped through Weaver for eight yards and then added two more on off-tackle bang.

Captain Horween came out of the game here to give Stlllnuin a little practice, and as the Crimson leader walked to the bench he was given a glorious reception by the entire gathering, Centre College rooters. Harvard cheering sections and even the in the bowl. It was a wonderful day for Horween. Macomber went in for Kane at this juncture. After Humphrey mado two yards around end, Macomber showed how neatly he can pick forward passes out the air, nailing a nifty toss from that waa good for 10 yards.

The first question was answered In the first two minutes of play, when the Crimson straight running attack swept consistently off-tackle for gains averaging five to 10 yards and resulting in a score. Solved Late in Game The second question was never conclusively answered until the latter stages of the third period, when Ilor- woen twice Intercepted passes and the other backs began to knock down Havemeyer. the Harvard centre, a peer In this style of passing and has made himself proficient to the nth degree. Weaver was right on his heels in this respect yesterday, and in leading McMlllln to the extent he did with accuracy and speed showed the great pos- of the spiral pass. In a large measure it was this speedy pass which made It possible for these end runs, usually slow In getting under way, to develop as rapidly as they did yesterday.

Harvard learnt'd to defend against this in the West last New Year's day.

And Justly so. Defence Received Test conception of forward pass defence In known for Its soundness and ho had recollections of playing In a real football game. Thus did the Centre players show to 42,000 football fans how they have become big as remarkable ground on the gridiron in thrf'o years, namely, beautiful forward pah-ilng, great end running from a peculiar formation, and, thirdly, a strong runnii.g attack, with change of direction behind the line of scrimmage, which fortunately the Harvard eleven had previously learned how to stop.
