COY OF YALE AND HIS PUNTS The value of a man who can drop kick, kick a goal from placement or punt for long distances has been proved In several big college football games this season. One of the most conspicuous performers In this respect has been Mike Balentl, the spry little Cheyenne Indian, who has proved a second Hudson for the Carlisle eleven this season. Balenti's four goals from placement In the recent Indian-Navy game was noteworthy. Balenti's work was little short of remarkable, as there was a strong wind blowing, which made accurate kicking difficult, and two of the goals were from bad angles. But the Indian (was equal to the test and made perfect kicks the four times he tried. All the more remarkable Is the fact that Balentl had made few tries for placement goals this year. This work was generally intrusted to Thorpe, fwho made a brilliant success of his job, for In two straight games he made the amazing total of six placement goals. It was not until late in the season that Pennsylvania figured in the ranks of goal kickers.'- For some time there had been reports from Franklin field that the red and blue bad a. wonderful kicker In Jack Means, a 190. pound back, who bailed from Ohio State university. But Means never got a chance until the recent game with Carnegie Tech In Pittsburg, when be made two Edacement kicks. With Means in the Ineup Penn might have won from the Indians. Michigan also loomed up strong in goat kicking. The Wolverenes halfback, Allerdlce, has been a consistent performer in this department all season. He kicked three goals against Vanderbilt recently, and one was a magnificent effort from the forty yard mark. Wisconsin was fortunate In having goal kicker in its contest with Marquette, as the Badgers were a beaten rtim until the closing minutes of play. rhen Keckie, Moll decided the issue tilth a clever drop kick from the thirty-fire yard mark. . Harvard had a splendid drop kicker n Victor Kennard. ; Early in the season an injury forced him out for several weeks, but on his return Kennard picked several goals. Harvard has cot had a good drop kicker since the days of Dudley Dean, and the development of Kennard was heralded with delight by the undergraduates. Wheaton of tale and Captain Walter Steffen of Chicago are two able exponents of drop kicking. Wheaton vas considered to be one of the best flrop' kickers In the. east, while Steffen led the booters in the west Dean of SVest Point has displayed great kicking ability In many games. '. So far as punting is concerned, probably the best man of the year Is Edward Coy of Tale, the sensational fullback, who boots the ball anywhere from fifty to sixty yards with seeming rase. The punts of "Long' John" Miller of the University of Indiana carry farther than those of any other man in the western college world. The University of Pennsylvania has depended much on Captain Bill Hollenback's punting In the team's leading contests this season. Captain Burr of -Harvard is one of the greatest of punters today. Heranks a close second to Coy of Tale. A LesoiS Frorrtt Nature. "Young gentlemen," lectured the eminent instructor, "you are old enough now to put away the childish and trivial amusements that sufficed for you when you were younger. Learn a les son from the dumb brutes and even from the reptiles. When they arrive at maturity they comport themselves with a certain dignity." "It isn't so with the rattlesnake, professor," objected the young man with the bad eye. "The older he grows the more rattles he plays with." Chicago Tribune. Stepping the Exodus.

ELI IS Harvard Scores Before Close Of First Half on Drop Kick. THOUSANDS SEE THE GAME New Haven Conn., Nov. 21. Before a crowd of over 30.O1X) people, wildly cheering, rabid partisans for theblue and crimson. Harvard defeated Yale this afternoon by a score of 4 to 0. Kennard, o f the crimson team hoisted a beautiful drop kick over the Yale crossbar from the twenty yard line shortly before the close of the first half. Both teams played brilliantly, the entire game, but the odds were in favor of the Harvard team. THE HARVARD ELEVEN Regeneration of the Crimson Team the General Talk of . Football Experts. HAUGHTON'S GOOD WORK. Harvard's splendid showing in the early games has caused every football enthusiast who follows the game closely to keep tabs on the crimson eleven this season. Many expressions of belief are beard that this may be a Harvard year. The fact that Harvard rolled up forty-four points in forty-five minutes of play in the recent game against Springfield and In heat almost oppressive to the spectators is ample proof that the crimson legged warriors are setting a fast pace and keeping It up. There has been ample evidence that Harvard has learned the new game to a nicety. The use of the forward pass iN.;-: 1 i KBJfNARD. H.BVABD'S FrUiBACK. has been the direct means of several of her big scores. How much this means can be appreciated only by one who has seen an eleven try to play old football against a team well versed in the new. It Is like Jumping1 a schoolboy from arithmetic to algebra. Another feature of Harvard's game is the strength and speed of the backs. Six of them have been used so far. They are White, Corbett, Smith, Kennard. Leslie and Forchelmer. On several occasions White and Corbett have torn through the line for first downs in slnglo attempts. Last year Kennard was a substitute end. and. although Harvard did not have a veteran end to begin the season with. Kennard was put in the back field That was one of the first moves of Percy Hanghton when he began in September as head coach. Although Harvard had in Burr the best punter In the country, Haughton immediately set out to get another. His selection of Kennard was a wise move. Haughton was fullback at Harvard In bis day and a punter of no little ability. The Jcin.rtiace of that ds,rartment of the

Affairs of the T. Raymond Cobb isn't going to let Billy Sullivan get away with anything on him. A relative of Billy's frau died the other day and left her $SO,000. But that's a piking amount compared to a million beans that have been left to Tyrus' better half. When a delegation of hard-hearted citizens down in New Orleans heard of T. Raymond's lucky strike they waited on hi'i at his home to break the terrible news. Ty was reading his latest stock reports from Wall street at the time. As the tale was tearfully told to him he smiled at his visitors and chirped: "Friends, I hate to disturb your dreams, but I knew what my squaw's rating was before I tied up with her." By the way H. Chase is making timely wallops out on the coast. With K. Elberfeld playing on foreign pastures, let us whisper that Hal is pretty sure to forget his other troubles In New York and beat it back. B. Dreyfus may have to tear himself away from a few extra bones to ingame'Sfas" drilled into 'Mm. When Hanghton took charge of affairs at Harvard be had a task before him that many believed he would never master. He had coached successfully at Cornell, but there things were ditTerent. There was a clocklike system working at Ithaca, and it needed only winding. At Cambridge there was no system whatever. Besides, the work of several years had to be undone before a stroke of progress could be made." There was material a-plenty to work with, but matters were woefully disorganized. He began tlowly, and some were du-1 bious for several weeks over his at-! taining good results, but when the time came for lining up the squad his , headwork became apparent. One of his first moves was to place' Burr back at guard, where he played two years ago. Burr was a good tackle last year, but the speed required In that position exhausted him so that his punts were inaccurate and often! fell short. Haughton set about developing McKay, a new man, for tackle, and today McKay is considered to be one of the best men In the position on any field. There is another man In Cambridge who also has worked wonders with the squad. He is W. F. (."Pooch") Dono van. Harvard's trainer. Until Hanghton took charge Donovan was handicapped by not having a final word in the conditioning of the men. Last fall he advised a letup In the work of sev era! players, but his advice was ignored. This year he alone does the training, while Hanghton takes charge when the players appear on the field.

The mighty ! little Steffin, who played his last game covered himself with glory. Wisconsin played a lucky and fast game. In the second half she really outplayed Chicago. Quarterback Keckie Moll was the star. CARLISLE INDIANS DOWNED NEATLY Minnesota Outclasses Eastern Team. Minneapolis, Nov. 21. Outplaying Carlisle in every department of the game, Minnesota defeated the Indians 11 to 6 at Northrop field today. The call of time came with the ball in Minnesota's possession on Carlisle's six inch line, and this alone prevented an other touchdown. Forward passes characterized the gVne throughout. The Gophers tried this play fifteen times and gained with It on nine occasions, netting a total of 161 yards. The Indians used the forward pass successfully but once.
