4. Allegheny College made West Virginia hustle to win, 35 to 6, in the second game of the season here? this afternoon. Outweighed, but never outfought, the Mountaineers were only leading by an eight-point margin as the final period opened. They had scored two touchdowns in the first period, but during the second and third quarters their efforts went for naught while the fnvaders were giving the crowd thrill after thrill with a spectacular aerial attack every bit as powerful as that flashed last week by West Virginia, Skeets Farley, 6tar of the opening battle, played a minor role today when Ekberg, Ed Morrison and Oliker stepped to the center of the stage.

BY" HIS SON with one while he warded' off tacklers with the other. He did this on so many occasions that I concentrated on developing him in the art. It was not until after the Harvard game our third of the season that he was definitely assigned to end. He played at halfback against the Crimson. Because of his skill in dis rupting interference and at the same time bringing down the man with the ball I decided to transfer him.

He justified the change in the Tale game, when he not only played first-class football in every respect but twice caught a pass with one hand and, thrusting off would-be tacklers with his free arm, placed the ball in a position from which his teammates were able to score. The bewildering aerial attack which we had prepared for use against the heavy Rutgers aggregation relied largely upon Heyman, and well did the boy bear his responsibility. Exposes Pass Possibilities. The newspaper men were ymanimous in declaring that the -game showed more than any previous contest what could be done with the open formations. Straight passes, delayed passes, double passes, fake formations and kicks which deviated in" length and placement as -the circumstances de manded followed in each other thrilling and puzzling array.

in All our boys played great ball, but Spiegal at left half, Fleming at right half, Goodwin at quarter, Tounkins at right guard, Cruikshank at center, and finally Heyman at right end, excelled themselves. Rutgers probably exhibited the better football as straight football goes. But the game was not decided on- that point. In the end, therefore, Sanford's stars Talman at right. Garret at left half, Toohey, right tackle; Nash, left tackle, and Scarr, quarterback were, I believe I am justified in saying, outshone.

At the start of the game, especially, we looked much the better team. We scored touchdowns in the first and second quarters and kicked goal in the first, making at the end of the half 13 to 0 in our favor. But in the third period Rutgers came back with a rush that carried us off our feet. Garrett and Talman hammered our line for repeated gains and eventually Garrett went over for a touchdown. The kick for goal went wide, leaving us still in the lead, 13 to 6.

In Serious Plight. The fourth period found us in a serious plight. Cruikshank was laid out cold three times and finally had to be carried from the field. Fleming was knocked out and removed unconscious. Tounkins was thought to have received a broken skull and was ordered to a hospital, "but he refused to go and stuck it out until the finish, when it found that bis frontal cheek bone had been fractured.

Meanwhile Garrett and Talman had continued their smashing tactics of the previous period and were pushing us steadily back. However, within 15 yards of Washington and Jefferson's goal line, and with only second down and seven yards to go, Scarr, the Rutgers quarter, decided to discard the old style game and try a pass. Unluckily for him the snapback was fumbled. Wesbecker, our right tackle, picked up the ball and ran 20 yards to his own 40-yard line before he was downed. This break revived my boys' failing spirits.

A succession of passes enabled us to carry the ball to Rutgers 40-yard line and then came the great play of the battle that vital pass to Heyman. -How Play Was Made. Here is how the play was made: Spiegel (left half) 1 received the pass from center; Goodwin (quarter), standing just back ot Heyman (right end), but a little beyond the end of the line as though to help provide interference for Spiegel, turned, and getting the ball from the latter on a reverse play, ran back to a point 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Heyman slipped past the Rutgers defensive line to its 30-yard line, where he hesitated a moment. McCreight (substituting for Fleming at right half).

Young (fallback) and Spiegel blocked off the Rutgers ends and backs as they charged in from "both sides. Then, with Heyman free, except for the defensive quarterback," Goodwin hurled the ball, deliberately aiming it over Herman's head so that he would get it on Rutgers 25-yard line. So much for the pass, which prokiised at least a measureable ad vance. Its brilliance speedily was dulled by a more unusual and more scintillat ing development. Heyman, on the run with the start of the ball, 'Jioted with one eye its flight, but kept the other open to the operations of Scarr.

This eye told him that the Rutgers safety man was charging down on him and would tackle him as he received the pass. In a flash of unadulterated genius the Washington and Jefferson end performed one of the greatest feats ever seen on a gridiron. Running at full speed he leaped into the air, batted the descending ball with his arm so that it described an arc over Scan's head, dodged around that surprised person, extended one hand and just caught the pigskin as it dropped earthward. -With an open field before him he then ran 20 yards to a touchdown, although Scarr. whirling after him.

made a partial tackle near the goal line. No player ever got a greater ovation than the crowd accorded Heyman after that play. He deserved It He had won the game for us because Ruteers. rallvin? in the closing minutes, crossed our goal line once more. The final score was 20 to IS.

5. AS TOLD BT ROBERT C. FOLtVELI Head Coach, Navy (AnnKpulin). I am any judge of football players, I'd say that Fred Heyman, Hght end on my 1914 Washington I and Jefferson team, was all-America caliber. Tet the critics of the day did not so place him.

and, if the Judgment I made of him had been true, he never would have gotten the chance that came to him of becoming one of the stars, of a really' great team. Regarding his failure to be picked for the all-America, please let me say that Fleming, Spiegel and Cruikshank, three of his teammates, attained that honor. Perhaps the experts would have liked to include him, but felt that, tc do so would be showing too much partiality for Washington and Jefferson players As to that early mistaken opinion I formed. Heyman disproved its on scores of occacions. In the end, he capped the climax by pulling off the most spectacular play I ever saw on the gridiron.

Incidentally this play was the apex of a brilliantly executed strategy perhaps the greatest the team negotiated in a season filled to the brim with sensational feats. Suddenly Disappeared. In the fall of 1913 when Washington and Jefferson reported for practice I noticed in the squad a tall, heavy, rangy fellow who looked to be a very good prospect. Notwithstanding his size he was very speedy, too. We tried him out in scrimmage at end and at halfback and he did very welL Then suddenly, during the second week of practice, he disappeared.

Word came to us that he had injured his leg. but we did. not learn how seriously. Ton know how it is when a fellow drops out of the squad like that and never sends, you a single word of explanation. The natural inference was that this lad had found ust a little more strenuous than he liked.

I reached a conclusion not flattering to his gameness and when, a bit later I saw him sporting a pair of crutches, I concluded he was posing. I dismissed him from my mind completely. I didn't want that sort of fellow on the Not until the next autumn did I learn how wrongly I had rated the boy. When the squad reported he again was on hand. Prejudiced against him at the start, I stilt was attracted by his speed and strength.

Also he showed a willingness to work that disarmed me. He did far more than was asked of him. Coinci dental I discovered that he hadn't been bluffing about his injury the previous year. He actually had suf fered a broken leg. Of course I gave him every chance possible there' PRINCETON PILES UP 40 POINTS TO AI.lHERSrS 6 (Br AssocimD Passa to Gizsns TmsJ PRINCETON.

While we were making this record, another small eastern college had been having a most successful season Rutgers, coached, by Foster San-ford. This eleven had done so well that many experts considered it the best in the east.

The result was that a public clamor sprang up for a post season game between Sanford's team and ours to determine the matter of superiority. Post-Season Game Carded. We had some 1 hesitation about scheduling such a contest. In the two weeks between November 7 and 21 we had played four games, two of them against such hard opponents as Pittsburgh and Georgetown. To do so we had spent a wearisome amount of time on trains.

The team deserved to have its long, difficult season end. Nevertheless the game was arranged It was set for November 28 at the Polo Grounds, New York City. Now Foster Sanford's team' was built around an unusually sturdy line. It was boast that from tackle to tackle not one of her line men was less than six feet one men in heieht. nor weighed under 200 pounds.

Obviously for this encoun ter we must tune up our passing and kicking game to the limit of its et ficienty. The precaution was well taken. In the fourth period, with the result hanging in the balance, our aerial frame was sole reliance. It was in this crisis that a play came up which I consider the, most spectacular I ever saw. Incidentally it provided a fitting culmination for Herman's splendid season.

In the execution of this strategy the Washington and Jefferson back-field took a right formation, which, to Rutgers, indicated a wide end run, probably with Spiegel carrying the ball. To counter the move, it drew its secondary defense close in; with" only the safety man. Quarterback Scarr. left back. It was exactly what our fellows wished.

Instead of an end run. they pulled a forward pass straight over center from Quarterback Goodwin to Heyman! Well-Rounded Player. Fred Heyman was perfect in every department of football. He not only would- break up interference, but he would bring down the man carrying the ban. He was never boxed in any of his games.

He had a quick ability to diagnose a play which enabled him to protect his own end of the line, give powerful aid to tfis tackle and, if necessary, get around to the other extremity of the defensive wall. In addition, he had to the full that courage which I once had suspected him of lacking. But it was in handling and receiving forward passes that I found him to be astoundingty adept. He had hands of such exceptional size that he was able to catch the ball RAYEN HIGH BEATS SCHENLEY ELEVEN; SCORE IS 12 TO 0 Sracui. TsLBcsaif to Th Oiziri Ttxes.1 YOUNGSTOWN, Oct.

And Heyman for it was he soon demonstrated that he would rank with the greatest ends of the season. He was the very man needed to round out our eleven. Greatest Team, Belief. Naturally, it seems to me, that there never was a team like this 1914' aggregation at Washington and It was the culmination of three years earnest coaching and of equally sincere response from the members of the squad. When you recall that the latter was recruited from a student body of only 275, you wonder how it developed the power to go out and beat such teams as Pittsburgh and Yale and come -within an ace of bowling over Harvard which it really outplayed.

The answer is that the boys possessed football brains and courage. They had the wits to carry out perfectly the style of play in which they were coached. This called for the employoment of a great variety of long and rhort passes. Football writers were good enough to call it "a revelation of the possibilities of the new game." We had a tough schedule one that called for a great deal of traveling. Particularly was this true during the latter half of the season, when our trips were so long and our games so frequent we never had more than a day of practice per week at home.

Incidentally, this practice had to be much restricted, as our squad was so small we couldn't afford to have injuries. So we dispensed with scrimmage between games and confined ourselves' to "dummy" practice and a review of errors made in previous games. Had No Scouts. Our finances being limited, we had no scouts and benco no advance information on plays employed by our opponents. The team had to develope its tactics as the situation unfolded on the field.

During long train journeys we discussed new strategies and altered our regular formations so as to disguise them. This was a constant necessity because, while we had no scout service, our opponents were not so handicapped. A flock of observers watched us in every city in which we played. respite these disadvantages, the season progressed satisfactorily.

The big Allegheny fullback gained consistently through the West Virginia line despite the best efforts of Davis, Dil-cher and others.

Brace, playing his second collegiate game, disappointed as a speedy ground gainer, but he hurled and received passes in a manner that made the West Virginia sections a trifle uneasy. When injected into the battle Doc Bruder apparently supplied the spark needed by the Mountaineers. His appearance was the signal for the opening of a sustained running attack that swept Allegheny off its feet. Brace put Allegheny in a hole by rTumbling on the second play after ihe opening kick off. Captain Graham recovered for West Virginia on the Allegheny 14-yard line.

Three line plays and a short pass, Ekberg and J. Murrin, gained 11 yards, and then Ekberg went through center for a touchdown.
