We Were Agreeably Surprised Captain Campbell of Harvard Captain Campbell Harvard will always win if the university stands back of the team as it has this fall. The spirit that the college lias shown toward the team has put life and encouragement into us, and we won today because of it. We did not find Yale as tough a proposition as we expected she would be. Believe me when I say that we were agreeably surprised. Fighting Spirit Won Head Coach Reid: Every man had the! they would play hard from start to fln- flghtlng spirit in him, and this won the I ish.

They came up to my idea of what a game. The men were not overconfident, team should he, and as to the game it- though I had the greatest confidence that it was simply great. Harvard Not Hard Pushed Graydon Graydon: We were not really pushed would have been ready for it and could hard at any time, but if we had been we I gone one notch better. It was a 1 good, clean game. Centre Weak Lee T.ee: There was very little doing in my centre.

It was a good game, and, of neighborhood. In fact. I was very much course, I am glad we won by as good a surprised to find Yale's team so weak at score as we did. Yale Worry Green: Yale worry us any. Our Team Pulled lilng that made Yah the game, and it told in todays veaker than us was her lack of knowl- Our team pulled together, and it is edge of the minor points of the game, i infair to say that any om man We have been drilled in the rudiments i than any other In winning the to y.

MacMasters Praises Reid and Campbell Trainer MacMasters: We won the game because of the condition of the men as much as anything. Three of men entered the game in a crippled condition; they wore Klstine, Kern an and Campbell. They played through, and wore able to do this. I believe, only because of their otherwise fect physical condition. As it was could have played on till morning.

Harvard's training tab!" this year has been the best that I have ever seen. The men today showed a splendid fighting spirit. The system of coaching has been better than ever before. had fine head here in and a great captain in Campbell. Yale Men Overworked Lewis Coach Harvard: Harvard has taken one of the main formations that Yale used last year to defeat Harvard and used it so well that she lias beaten Yale.

Harvard had excellent team play, which lias been lacking in many games in past vears. Yale's line did not charge hard enough, and think the men at times placed too high. The secret of the whole thing was that every man in the Crimson line got tlr jump on the oppts- itig Yale player, if anything, I should say that. men were overworked. They did not play like a team where the men are in tho best condition.

Harvard Men Looked for Victory Marshall nrarterback Marshall of Harvard: I large, but 1 thought.we would beat them, think the score would be quite All the men thought so. did EXPERT TELLS HOW HARVARD WON DE SAULLES TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL Rumor Said That Quarterback Was Badly Injured LEWISTON 4, CLINTON 2 LEWISTON, Nov. defeated Clinton tonight by a score of 4 to 2 in as exciting a game as has been played here this season. The honors were about even with both teams. Lewiston, however, had the ability to cage the ball at critical points.

The game was free from rough work, both teams playing clean polo. For the home the work of McGilvary and Mercer was excellent, and the blocking of Hayes was the feature of the game. I For the visitors, Houghton and Devlin were the star players. The line-up: LEWISTON. CLINTON.

last night it was learned by the Post that John L. De Saulles, quarterback. Injured in game, was at the Massachusetts General Hospital. The hospital officials declined to say What his condition was. It was rumored that the footballlst badly damaged.

Manager Francis was found at the Lenox and was asked if De Saulles had been removed from there. Evidently trying to hide the fact. Manager Francis first denied, then admitted that the jured man was in the hospital. Francis then declared to the Post, man that De Saulles was not at all seriously Injured. De Saulles was the man worst hurt in game.

He was kicked in the stomach and in the head and was knocked out. Somewhat revived he staggered off the field, refusing to be carried. When he reached the side lines, physicians worked over him, but he collapsed and was removed in an ambulance, after being carried off the field on a stretcher. FARNSWORTH'S FOOTBALL FEATURE Proprietor Farnsworth of the Twentieth Century Department Store provided a feature which attracted much attention In Cambridge yesterday. A large wagon, decorated with Crimson colors, on top of which were a clown and a colored man In football attire, passed through Cambridge and spent much time in Harvard square.

Her men helped each other out, and whether they struck the line or trie tackles or the ends, they smashed in with telling force. Yale seemed absolutely unable to anticipate Harvard's attack-'. The tackle back formation of the Crimson eleven was a perfect enigma to them.

Every rush baffled lier players, and time man in the best shape, and Harvard was in the right class. Harvard's gains were made mostly on the tackles back formations, the tandem play that was used for almoBt every advancement in the Pennsylvania hardly being used at all. In using the tackles back formation Harvard copied play exactly, thus defeating Blue by her own tactics. The play was 1 .11 1 I V. 1 it after time they gathered their forces in so that it could be direoted at: one direction when Harvard was aiming at.

Just the opposite point. Yale's method of defonee differed from any that she has used before tills season. Instead of playing her backs behind the line, where they could push the tackle into the interference and then scramble in themselves, she placed them directly in the line, playing side by side with the other centre men. This scheme would have been a good one for any team but. Playing her men in a line as she did, Yale lost the strength of which was needed to stop the on plunges of the Crimson's formations.

Once through line there was no one behind to either side of the line, utilizing tackle, halfback or full in any direction. It was served up with all kinds of variations, a number of the best gains being made on In these plays the field would, be sent smashing into the line, while of the backs would take the ball and dash between tackles and ends. Harvard had the play down fine, and it not only helped them tear up line, buc it aided more than anything else In stopping the onrushes of the Blue. defence was perfect. Slandered and belittled as it has been all this season, it rose beautifully at the critical moment, and repulsed Yale's stop the plays.

The hacks were out humiliation of the Blue. The one side, and Instead of being under the scrimmage they were simply useless appendages tossed to one side as the play rushed through. The theory of the defence was wlth- i out a fault, but the practice was a failure. Yale had heard that Harvard's backs were strong. She had expected that gains would be made mostly around the ends, and with this in minu she had constructed a defence pinned singly at breaking interference and downing the Crimson backs.

attack was just the opposite from what she ex- main features In this defence, outside of the greater weight of Harvard's linesmen. was their wonderful quickness In starting, and the support tho tackles received from the ends. The men got the start of Yale every time. Every time ball was snapped they got off a second before their opponents, and the result was that they added untold effectiveness to the charges of their team. The tackles did not have everything left to themselves in stopping Yale rushes.

Every man struggled his best In every play, and it was plain from the start that they were in the contest to beat Yale. Tho New Haven men. on the other hand, seemed to straggle on each play.
