  WITH. LOUIS A. DOUGiIEF ago. II WOu1O uATU1y nAppSA NA1 Harvard today is right back where it was .bAfore the late Percy HaughtOn took charge. It awaits, apparently, another Heughton to pull it out of tie muck and the mire. Harvard was . pitiful victim of Yale elevens for years until 1908 when Haughton assumed control Of It’s football destinies. That year saw Vic Kennard’s ia nous field goal at old Yale field, giving Harvard a victory, A to O. In nine years under Haughton Harvard whipped Yale and Prince ton five times each, lost twice to Yale and once to Princeton and played two scoreless games with Yale. Haughton gave up his task in 1915, believing that Bob Fisher, a great lineman in his college days, could carry on. Fisher has failed to do this and will probably be superseded before another season rolls around. Ted Coy’s eleven defeated Harward at Cambridge in 1909, Coy kicking two field goals and Harward making safety. The score was 8 to 0. The next two games with Yale ended without scoring by either team. In 1912 began the greatest years for Harvard in it’s Big Three relations. Yale was beaten 20 to 0. Percy Wendell, now Lee highs coach, led that Harvard eleven and two Of his stars were Charlie Brickley and Tack Hardwick. In 1913 Charlie Brickley kicked four drop field goals and one from placement against Yale Eddie Mahan’s great running brought the ball close enough for the brilliant Brickley to per form. Brickley led the Harvard clever in 1914, though appendicitis kept him out of the Yale contest. But there were others and Harvard won, 36 to 0. Coolidge’s recovery of a tumble and his run of IS yards for a touchdown featured the early stages of that game. Eddie Mahan, by many con. sidered greater than Red Grange captained the 1915 Harvard clever which defeated Yale Al to 0, al Cambridge. Six touchdowns, -four by Mahan, were chalked up fol- Harvard. That score is still tor hole in the Yale-Harvard series Four touchdowns and five goals from touchdown gave Mahar twenty nine of his teams forty one points. In 1916, Haughton’s final yeal at Cambridge, Harvard defeated } Yale, 6 to 3. Haughton’s elevens knew foot ball from the ground up and were a machine at all times. Haughtol never complained of not havins material. He took what he had Today Bob Fisher laments lack o. material. This is really funny Harvard has ten times the amount of football material that Holy Cross has, yet Holy Cross defeat. ed Harvard. Dartmouth has no where near the amount of mate rial, yet the Hanoverians have slammed Harvard right on tn, nose. Fisher needs a new allbi. Harvard will very likely shelv’
