Battering the Badgers to bits. the Ma rooms wound up their 1913 campaign with victory so lopsided that it left no doubt OF their right to the game and the title The rout of the Badgers was fitting climax to the Maroons’ wonderful autumn work, for they have met and down ed all rivals. closing the season by beat ing last years champions. The MaroOns played steady, machineiike game. Nor green’s long punts were important factors dives into the line by Pierce and Gray clinched scores when end and tackle runs made them possible, and a great run of 81 yards for touchdown by Gray. who had intercepted forward pass, was the spectacular event of the game. Grays run turned a possible Wisconsin touchdown into one for the Maroons. The Badgers had the ball on Chicago’s 10 yard line and with 4 yards to make i’ll one attack, Quarterback Bellows tried pass. Gray leaped in the air and pull ed down the oval. Only Bellows stood between him and the Badger goal, and by long, sweeping run he eluded the Cardinal quarter, outsped Ofstie and planted the ball behind the posts Rain kept the crowd nearly TO the seating capacity. extra stands taking care of 1900 persons. Probably $4,000 spectators were present. Ticket scalp ers fought at the last minute to get rid or their pasteboards at cost prices, but many OF them suffered losses. The field was slippery. but it’s cover of hay had Kept II nom becoming soft and the rain had ceased before the game started – The first quarter Was less than five minutes old when the MaroOns pushed over the first touchdown. Norgren’s great punt with the wind behind them Outdislanced the boots Of Tandberg and Bellows. and a brief interchange put the ball in Chicago’s possession, a few yards inside the Badgers territory. A for ward pass ard a double pass brought the ball 10 yards from the Wisconsin goal but a tumble which gave the oval to the Badgers delayed the score. Sticking close to the side lines the Maroons pushed Norgren over for the touchdown and the kick out was missed A ?O-yard run by Bellows started a rally late in the first quarter that pearIy put the Badgers over. Buck bored big holes in the Chicago right wing and through IL the Wisconsin backs carried the ball to the Maroon 10-yard line Here holding in the line resulted in the balls being awarded to Chicago and Noraren drove it GO yards down the field and out of danger. A series of forward passes. most of which went wrong, were tried by the Maroons next Three of them failed in. succession, when a successful one might have gained another touchdown. Gray’s spectacular run was about the most disastrous termination of for ward pass that Wisconsin had. The ball was on Chicago’s 2O-yard line, near the close of the second quarter and the Badgers had 4 yards to gain in one attempt. Bellows took the chance for touchdown. a field goal being impOssibic from the angle. and hurled the ball where he thought Ofstie would be- In stead of Ofstfe il was Gray who grabbed the ball and sped toward the goal. easily understanding Bellows and Ofstie and planting the ball back of the post The goal kick was easy.

  Giant Fullback Boots Five Field Goals Over Eli Posts and the Crimson Trirmphs Over Blue for First Time Twice IN TWO YEARS HAND RUNNING Victory is Due as Much to Coaching System as to Classy Work of Team Guernsey’s Toe Saves Yale a Banking ! CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 22-HarVard i football team of 1913 with Fullback ] Charles E. Brickley in the stellar l role. established a new epoch in 1 crimson history today, by defeating i Yale, 15 to ,. Neither team sue ! ceeded in carrying the ball across l the others goal line and all points were the direct or indirect result ! of kicking. Seven times Bricl1ley drove the ball spinning and turning over the heads of the Yale players and so deadly was the accuracy of his eye and toe that five times the ball crossed the goal post for Grim son points. Four times Guernsey, Yales field goal kicker, essayed the same feat, but only once did the leather spheroid cross the Harvard goal. To Ellis earned three points were added and unearned two due to an unintentiOnal safety by Left End O’Brien of Harvard Thus, thanks to Brickley’s superior kick ing ability, did Harvard defeat Yale the second time in two years and win an undisputed right to the all- eastern intercollegiate football cham pionship. Spectacular as was Brickley’s play in both running and kicking, the fact remains that the superior ma chine that Coach HOughton develop ed this year earned equal glory with the famous drop kicker, for the con- certed play and efforts of the eleven men as a whole paved the way for the situations from which Brickley scored the fifteen points which stand tonight as Harvard’s record against the blue That Guernsey, on the other hand, failed to approach Brick Iey’s feat was due almost entirely to the fact that the team in front of him could not be held and would drive back the Crimson to points where field goal kicking passed from the improbable to the impossible. It is stated broadly. Harvard play ed a well balanced game in both of fense and defense in which it beat the most conservativ parts of new and old football successfully com bined Opposed to this was the Yale game that undoubtedly would have won under the five yards in three downs” days; but is not suited against the Harvard eleven of 1913. The victory of the Crimson, there fore is as much a victory for the Harvard coaching system as for the Crimson players. That it was a Harvard victory in every sense of the word and devoid of flu1es and questionable features was proved by the statistics of playing. Harvard in all gained 329 yards, and nine first downs in fifty seven rushes against Yales 115 yards and six first downs. in forty one rushes. Mahan gained 77 yards on IS punts to 52 yards in the combined punts bv Guernsey and Knowles. BrckIey kicked five goals out of seven tries Guernsey one goal out of four tries. The Harvard players ran back Yale’s punts 133 yards against 54 yards thus regained by the Eli backs. In penalties Yale lost thirty wards for holding and rough work to Harvard’s five yards for an offside play. More than 47OOO of the alumni. undergraduates and adherents of the two universities gathered for the game from all parts of the country. The weather was perfect. Chi Champs CHICAGO.
