Harvard's Most Successful Plays
Were Cross Bucks.
Kew Haven, Conn., Nov. 19.—Yale
earned a victory which In every way
was satisfactory to her friends, over
her old time rival, Harvard, in the
presence of over 32,000 spectators on
Yale field this afternoon, the final score
being 12 to 0, the same as that In
her victory over Princeton a week ago.
The game was one In which the men
in blue proved the superiors of a
brawnier set of opponents both in the
art of offense and defense. In the
first place through better te*am work
with a few simple formations, and in
the second instance, though her ability
to stop or break up any play whether
of a plunging character against her
line or used as a subterfuge to turn
her Banks. Yale was not called upon
to use a formation which had not been
shown in her games of the entire sea
son and at no time was there any doubt
of the outcome.
Courage With Success.
As the Yale men fought their *tvay
to Harvard’s goal line they knew they
were bound to win. and the courage
which came with this knowledge gave
them more power on the attack. Har
vard placed some reliance on plays
which were intended to gain ground
by runs around the end and in nearly
every instance these failed. The pre
cision with which Yale moved each
play, united action of the backs with
the linesmen, stamped Capt. Hogan's
team as one of the most remarkable
which ever went on a field to uphold
the glory of the blue.
To Harvard, however, which sent
here a team of unknown quality, must
be given the credit of playing a won
derful game on the defense and of
showing at times in the second half
flashes of Inherent brilliancy on the
offense.
No Sensational Plays.
The game itself as a whole was
somewhat tedious to the immense
throng of spectators. It was almost
devoid of sensational or spectacular
plays, and its one brilliant incident was
the blocking of Sperry's punt in the
second half which brought Yale’s sec
ond touchdown. Even this was bet
ter appreciated by football players
themselves than the spectators, for it
was a truly remarkable thing for Kin
ney and Tripp to break through Har
vard's protective line, for the punter,
and to block the ball, and that Bloom
er, another tackle, should get it many
yards behind Harvard’s line. It illus
trated the point that gtands out prom
inently that Yale knew how to play
and to take advantage of every chance
to get the ball when Harvard was in
the offensive.
Record Crown Preaent.
The crowd at Yale field was prob
ably the largest which has seen a
football game in this country. The
banks of humanity which enclosed the
gridiron were as vivid a mass of color
in which reds and blues predominated,
as ever was played on a canvas by
a painter. It was ‘an animated throng
which took advantage of every chance
t° break out into song or cheer.
The weather was that of an Indian
summer day, comfortable alike to those
who were passive observers of the

contest was the slowness with which
the teams lined up after each scrim
mage, more especially Harvard, when
time and again it looked as if her men
waited breathing space.
Y’ale Played Fast.
Tale played faster than the Crimson
and went from beginning to end with
out a change in her line-up. Harvard
placed many substitutes in places of
men who seemed to have been used
up in scrimmages, but luckily no play
er was seriously hurt.
At times the ga,me was rough with
some fisticuffs. In every position Yale
had the advantage, her linesmen, es
pecially Capt. Hogan, who was used
repeatedly to carry the ball, outplayed
the men against them, and Shevlin
and Neal, at ends, being fast down
the filed under kicks and sure in their
tackling. Hoyt outclassed Sperry and
Nichols in punting and was a worthy
successor to Mitchell, who taught him
the art of booting the ball. On Har
vard's side Brill showed up the best,
although Matthews, who replaced Ran
dall at left end, did finely.
The First Touchdown.
Yale got her first touchdown by con
sistent rushing In Harvard's territory
in the first half. The second came
through a blocked kick in the second
half.
Harvard’s most successful attack
was a cross-buck which several
times opened holes in Yale’s line
through which singularly enough the
backs could make no pronounced
gains. The line up:

WILL PLAY SOLDIERS
AGAIN IN DECEMBER.
Another Hard Game for Blue and
White Next Month.
Another game of football has been
arranged with the Fort Screven team
for some time about the middle of
next month, which assures another
hard bruising contest for the Blue and
White previous to the Charleston
game.
So far no arrangement has been
made for Christmas Day, the Fort
McPherson team being forced to with
draw Its engagement, as the team dis
banded when the Sixteenth Infantry
left. Manager Mclntire is now corre
sponding with several teams. If possi
ble a team to be put out by the At
lanta Athletic Association will be
brought here.
PLENTY OF MATERIAL FOR
A TEAM NEXT SEASON.
Captain I.yimli of Cornell and Bntler
of Tech Will lie Available.
Indications are now that there will
be much available material for a
splendid football team next year, and
that there will also be plenty avail
able for sustitutes on New Year's.
Both Capt. Lynah of Cornell, who
plays quarterback, and George Butler,
quarterback on the Tech team, will
be here New Year’s, and It is believed
both will agree to assist the team if
necessary.
Each man has made a brilliant rec
ord on his team. Butler is yet in his
teens, but Heisman has selected him
out of the vast amount of material for
the responsible position of quarter
back on the Tech varsity.
NO SECOND GAME BETWEEN
GEORGIA AND THE BLACKSMITHS
Faculty at University Will Permit No Games
After Thanhsgiving.
Failing to secure a post-season game
with the University of Georgia foot
ball team, Manager Jack Barrett has
telegraphed Sewanee to secure a game
with that team.
The story of the called-off game be
tween Georgia and Tech, which was
wished to be played after Thanksgiv
ing Day by both teams, is told in the
following dispatch from Athens:
Athens, Oa., Nov. 19.—The post
season game between Georgia and
Tech is all off as Chancellor Hill has
refused to let the team schedule any
game after Thanksgiving Day.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1904.
CHARLESTON WON
FROM CAROLINA
FELL ON FUMBLED BALL.
MOST OF PLAY WAS IN SOUTH CAR
OLINA’S TERRITORY.
First and Only Score Was Made In
First Half, When an Attempt at
Goal by Tutvrller Was Blocked by
Carolina Man, Who Fumbled the
Ball When Tackled—Charleston
Man Seized the Ball and Carried It
Over for a Touchdown.
Charleston, Nov. 19.—Charleston de
feated the South Carolina College foot
ball team here this afternoon by the
score of 6 to 0. after one of the moat
desperate and hard fought gridiron
battles ever seen on the local grounds.
Both elevens were in perfect condi
tion and training, and each Inch of
ground was stubbornly contested for.
The ball was in Carolina territory most
of the time, and the Collegians were
frequently forced to punt, though
Charleston also resorted to kicking on
several occasions.
The first and only score was made on
an attempted goal from the field in
the first half, when Tutwiler. on the
15-yard line, signaled for a kick. The
ball was blocked at the goal line, and
one of the Carolina men started to run
with It. He stumbled, fumbled the
ball and a Charleston man carried it
over, scoring the only touch down. It
was one of the hardest games seen here
in years.
The line up:
Carolina—Dowling, center; White,
right guard; Findly, left guard; Croft,
right tackle; Cogburn, left tackle; Mc-
Kay, right enjl; Foster, left end;
Holmes, right half; McGee, quarter;
Reed, left half; Wilds, fullback.
Charleston—Garrison, center; Chan
ey, right guard; Sapp, left guard;
Smith, right tackle; Sullivan, left
tackle; Ancrum, right end; Frar.ee, left
end: Gunter, right half: Tutwiler,
quarter; Sumter, left half; Hanvey,
fullback.

Defeated V. P. I. by a Score of II
to a
Annapolis, Md„ Nov. 19.—The mid
shipmen ended their football season
on the home grounds In a contest with
the eleven from the Virginia Polytech
nic Institute. The Navy won by a
score of 11 to 0. The victory was ac
complished only after the hardest kind
of work on the part of the home team.
The visitors threatened on three oc
casions to score and had the ball dan
gerously near the middies’ goal line,
but the home players regained pos
session of it and punted or rushed it
back in to safe territory. Once Capt.
Wilson of the Southern team essayed
a kick from placement, but was un
successful.
Grady made the first touchdown in
the first half after four downs. Nor
ton kicked goal. The ball was on the
Navy’s four-yard line when time was
called.
In the second half Doherty secured
the ball on a fumble and ran with it
forty yards, scoring the second touch
down. Norton failed at goal.
The Navy used the line which will
be played against West Point at Phil
adelphia on next Saturday, with pos
sibly one exception—right guard—tf it
is not changed by accident. The line

The Georgfci team has shown no
sulkiness since the defeat Saturday,
but every man has gone to work de
termined to put up a strong fight on
Thanksgiving Day—ln Macon against
Auburn.
If Georgia downs Auburn on the
24th, it will not be the first time that
she has pulled out of the hole Just at
the last moment, and surprised her
opponent.
For several years Georgia has faced
defeat up to a webk before Thanksgiv
ing when she pulled together and
defeated Auburn. This is looked upon
as Georgia’s only chance now to re
trieve her honors of the season.

FRANK LAMERSCHMTDT.
Cleveland, 0., Nov. 19.—Frank Lun
ersohmldt, a one legged boy, Is consid
ered one one of the best high school
athletes in Ohio. He is sixteen years
old, weighs 160 pounds and has won
the position of left tackle on the West
High School team, of Cleveland, which
bids fair to oarry oft the high school
championship of Ohio. Lamerschmidt’s
athletic ability is not confined to foot
ball. He plays third base on the West
High School baseball team, and had
a batting average of 310 last spring,
when the high school season ended.
His right leg was crushed In a street
car accident five years ago, and was
amputated at the knee. He Is passion
ately fond of field sports, and believes
that before he graduates from the West
High School. In 1906, he will have won
honors for his school In field athletics.
He takes It as a matter of course that
he should be an athlete. In spite of his
deformity, and Is modest about his
achievements under such trying con
ditions. He expects some day to be a
professional baseball player.
FAVORSKILFOYLE’S IDEA.
President Herrmann Says Shorter
Schedule is the Thing.
Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 19.—President
Herrmann of the Cincinnati Baseball
Club and chairman of the National
Commission has two ideas regarding
the schedule of the National League
Club for hext season.
The first—and It has been Mr. Herr
mann's pet scheme ever since he be
came a baseball magnate—ls tor a
short season In the National League,
say 116 games, after which there will
be played a series of games between
National League teams on one side
and American League teams on the
other, a complete schedule of games
to be arranged to cover dates for the
rest of the season, with each team
of each league meeting every team of
the opposition circuit.
Falling to carry his project. Mr.
Herrmann Is In favor of a long sched
ule In the National League—<julte as
long as that which was played during
the season Just dosed, when each team
wma scheduled for 1(4 games. He will
go over these at the next National
League meeting.

Nelson was to have attempted such

JOYNER MAKES
GREAT RECORD.
A. J. Joyner made a record as a
trainer this season that any man
can be proud of. He sent forty
horses to the post in 230 races, and
won sixty of the races he had rep
resentatives in. In forty-nine races
he ran second, and in thirty-six
races he earned third money. Out
of the 230 races he sent candidates
to the post he was eighty-five times
unplaced. In actual money he
earned for Sydney Paget $137,336.50.
For August Belmont he sent two
horses to the post—Lord of the
Vale and Mlzzen—and with fhem
won $11,950. He saddled twenty-two
different 2-year-olds, and that alone
is a great showing. The total
amount of money won by horses

Red letter events tn the football sea
son of 1904 in both Jacksonville and
Charleston will be the games to be
played with Savannah, the first of
which will take place Thursday after
noon at Bolton Street Park, the orange
and black of Jacksonville being match
ed against the Blue and White of Sa
vannah.
Five years of uninterrupted victory,
has given Savannah players, as well
as patrons of the game, the undis
puted right to claim the championship
of tho South against all comers.
Never before in the history of the
game locally, has Savannah stood in
such danger of losing that title, even
with the strongest team tho Blue and
White has ever been able to muster.
Goaded on by years of defeat and hu
miliation oa and off their own grid
irons, Jacksonville and Charleston
have prepared this year as they have
never prepared before, and never, in
either city, has there been such gen
eral confidence In the teams assem
bled to wrest the laurels from Savan
nah.
Great TUnnkzglvlng Spectacle.
The two most Important football
dates In Savannah are Thanksgiving
and New Year's. By tradition the
New Year’s date goes to Charleston,
and this year Jacksonville comes with
an aggregation that certainly shows
great strength on paper.
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock
Savannah will play the first really
Important game of the season. This
will truly be a great spectacle. Run
ning along tho northern side line
stands for the accommodation of 1,500
people have been erected as additional
seating capacity. At the eastern end
there Is seating capacity for 800 more,
wtitle along the southern side line
there Is standing room for 2,000 more
spectators. At the western end of the
field 200 or 300 more can find accom
modation, and it Is believed that all
of this available space will be taken.
Scuta Arc Kcserved.
For those who do not care to en
gage In a general rush to secure seats
tho management has arranged to have
all scats sold by coupon. Every seat
and section will be numbered and let
tered, and ushers will conduct those
holding coupons to their seats. Those
scats will be put on sale Monday morn
ing at Israel's pool parlors on Bull
street, and they will be delivered to
any part of the city free of extra
charge for delivery.
Every loyal supporter of tha Blue
and White will wear the colore con
spicuously displayed. This is not sup
posed to be a frivolous fashion of tha
younger enthusiasts, but the older
spectators are asked to display tho
colors.
tilin' May Play at Quarter.
It was persistently rumored yester
day that Capt. Cope would be in tha
gumo Thanksgiving, working at his old
position at quarter, where he has no
superior, and perhaps not an equal in
the South. It wua Cope, who for two
years, carried off tho honors of all-
Southern quarterback while captaining
the Sewanee Tigers, and in his day ho
was recognized as the peer of punters,
measuring fifty and sixty yards a*
every attempt.
Owing to Capt. Cope's absence from
the city the rumor could not be con
firmed. He was in Charleston, incog
nito, witnessing the game between
Charleston and South Carolina College.
He went as a special ambassador of
tha Savannah team to have personal
knowledge of the vaunted strength of
the Gulls.
Old Men la Plane.
With Capt. Cope in the game, Sul
livan back at his old position at left
half, Cornwall back at tackle and Gus
Smith, who now believes he will be able
to play, at left end, the old Savan
nah spirit will be In the game, and
there will be none of that sluggish
work which was exhibited in the first
two games of the season.
Although reports of the confidence
which exists in Jacksonville have
come to Savannah none of that forci
ble argument in the way of "soft
stuff” has put In Its appearance yet.
The Jacksonville team will probably
arrive in Savannah Wednesday night,
so as to have a perfect night’s rest
on the eve of the battle. While here
the team will be quartered at the Pu
laski House, which has so often shel
tered the vanquished.
Three Hard Practices.
There are three more hard practices
in front of tho team. No such spirit
has been shown this season as was
shown at the practice Friday night.
Nearly all of the men appeared stiff
end sore, and commenced the practice
limping and in poor form. Capt Cope
Jumped in. took his old place at quar
ter and In a few minutes had the men
working as they did not work even In
the Fort Screven game.
At the conclusion of the practice the
game little quarterback took the ball
and showed that he had not lost his
great punting ability, sending the ball
for a clear fifty yards.
WILLIE KEELER SIGNS AGAIN.
Wants to Play Under No Better Maw
Than Clark Griffith.
New York. Nov. I*.—Wtllle Keeler,
the fast fielder and star hitter of the
New York American League team, will
cover right field again next season few
the Highlanders. The two-year con
tract which Keeler had with Clark
Griffith expired at the end of the year,
but Keeler has made up his mind to
sign anew paper, which he expects
to receive from the club officials some
time next month.
"I will continue to play for Griffith
and Farrell as long as they want me
to play with them,” said Keeler.
Keeler is without doubt one of the
wealthiest ball players In the profes
sion. Ever since he began to play bail
he has saved his money, until at the
present day he has enough ready cash
at hand to keep him whsn he quits
the game. He owns several houses la
East New York, from which he oolleets
rent each month. The little player
could easily sell these houses at a Mg
profit should be oere to dispose** them.
Keeler says he Intends to play ball a
few more years and then enter the real
estate business.
