  HARVARD’S HOPE IN TRIMMING YALE Crimson Machine Will Rely on For ward Pass. Harvard has showed her hand. She has made clear one of the principal weapons which she will use to fight Yale on the gridiron this year. It is the forward pass. All this was most evident in the victory which Harvard gained over North Carolina Saturday by the score of 21 to 0. While the defeat. at the hands of Tufts had somewhat lowered the Crimson’s stock, the coaches have not been idle, as the playing in the North Carolina game showed. It was 9 wholly rejuvenated eleven which faced North Carolina. Harvard’s battle with Tufts taught the Crimson a lesson, and this was that the Crimson should get more practice in passing and should use that style of game with greater fre- quency. How far the Crimson profit ed by that lesson can be seen in the North Carolina game when Harvard had recourse to the forward pass at almost every opportunity. Harvard tried the forward pass on nine occa- sions. The forward passes worked by liar ward Saturday were directly responsi- ble for two of the touchdowns. The Crimson players worked the passes in a manner that looked pretty and val uable. In the game with Lehigh, Yale, the victors by the score of 12 to O, were weak on the forward pass, and the at tempts by Lehigh to work those plays worried the Blue more than any other play that Lehigh pulled off. Had Le- high studied the weakness of the Blue closer, it would have found that it lay in the passing style of game, but Le- high seemed unable to get the passes off cleanly. The long ones that the Lehigh team did work gave Yale much to think about, however. In the game with Lehigh Yale de- pended largely on the work of it’s backfeld, notably Legore, who with Bingham came across with the two touchdowns. Yale’s chief style of playing was a line smashing, line tear ing one, while Havards was the passing style. Consequently, Yale’s next move will be to strengthen it’s passing game and give it’s backfield a comparative rest. Tufts Saturday plowed it’s way through almost to the laurels again. The best Princeton coul ddo was a 3 to 0 victory. The Tufts team found the Tigers line almost inlpregnab1e, while the Tigers found the fast aerial plays of the Tufts combination a source of constant menace. Tufts seems destined to carve considerable of niche for itself in the hall of football fame this season.
