"The Washington team will be awfully good next year. They have two of the greatest catchers in the world in Eddie Ainsmith and John Henry.' Eddie was in bad shape toward the end of last season, and the club has sent him to Texas to get in trim. The reports from there are that be is improving and putting on weight fast.

N()\ EMBER ;«). 191- Greaf Harvard Back Helped Pile Up 17 of the 20 Points Scored Against Yale ■ HARDWICK MOST VERSATILE NAN IN FOOTBALL By L. R. Murdock. (Sporting Editor of Hearst’s Bos ton American.) Boston, mass., Nov. jo. While "Boots” Brickley is naturally head-lined as the Harvard hero of 1912, and Bob Stor er and Sam Felton crowd him for the top of column honor, it has almost been overlooked that the Yale game produced the most ver satile man in football, and that Huntington R. Hardwick, the light ning left halfback of the Crimson team, is the fellow whereof we speak. In the imaginary All-American elevens which will be devised by the “experts” of the country, Hardwick will likely' bo overlooked by many. But if the writer had a football team all his own, he would rather have Hardwick working therein than any other man in foot ball outside of the Harvard team and this goes for Jim Thorpe or any other star of the game. The truth, evident to all who watched the New Haven pastime closely, is brought out very clear ly by Coach Percy D. Haughton, the Harvard football master, in his own review of the Crimson tri umph. This shows how Hardwick participated in the system scoring of 17 of the 20 points. What Hardwick Did. According to Haughton, who de vised the Harvard system of of fense and defense and who worked out for Harvard the Y'ale game the ory, this is what Hardwick did: He became the eighth and most important man on the scrimmage line in tile Harvard attack. This eight-man line was Harvard's most successful progressive device. He acted as left end when Fel ton was drawn back to punt. He was called upon frequently to run with the hall from behind the line, principally for end runs. He was frequently on the line of scrimmage ns the principal inter- HEISMAN'S ALL-SOUTHERN ELEVEN Continued From Preceding Page. i good line. Cook would look as good is most any of them. He is a shade ight, but can stand all sorts of punish ment. A great player! Taylor is a magnificent runner with i the abll and a splendid drop kicker. His i tackling ami interference are too weal. ! to let him get on our team. l-’olger is good around the ends and l in slashing through quick openings. 11“ I is taii and fast and has a wonderful eye for judging forward passes. In pulling these down lie is without a i>eer in the South today. In other depart ; ments he needs work and experience. Haxton is a re;, good halfback, al beit a trifle clumsy. There is no doubt of his ability to gain ground against most any team down here. Still he lacks the necessary brilliancy for this berth. Now for Hardage. No one, I pre i sume, will deny my right to set him ■ I down as the one best bet of the year, j So I set him down. This chap is one sure enoug . half | baek. Por that matter, he was so the ‘ i very first year lie ever played college football. And this is his fourth on a varsity team. With each passing year 'a* lias become fleeter of foot and ! stronger of muscle, to say nothing of ; the steady acquisition of football , | knowledge. He Is as shifty on his feet a- a squirrel, yet uns with a power ! that breaks the hold of a would-be tac j kier at least half the time. Ills defen j sive ability is quite satisfactory, and i I ( :d."d to this ho is one of the best f.. '- ■ i ward passers of the year. He is stiiet- t ly In a ciass with the best halves the . ; South has produced. I would put him i at rear guard <*n our defense. Wouldn’t , | he bring back the punts? Newell Lacks Only Weight. l j Os the remaining four. Newell is the 'weakest. This is mainly because he i only weighs 14(1 pounds. So far as speed, driving power for his weight ' i xperienc. . let.r-lieadedness, stirem .-s on handling the ball and inside play . are concerned, he is not behind the . others. Hi? comes a* near being a star . as any man on Auburn’s lim - up. I do ! not consider him good at blocking las < ,’ollins. nor as pov.. rfti, in open field j running McWhorter.

Altogether, in would In- a valuable addition to any team in the country, and in another year ho should attain premier honors in the South. He is up against exceptionally good men in this comparison, but there is no discounting the general splendor of his game. I count him out. This narrows tin field to McWhorter, and him I Choos., again for right half back. This decision will. I fancy, not give entire satisfaction. Certain it Is that McWhorter .an n it tackle like some other halfbacks, can nut interfere lik. others, can not buck as do others, etc. But MeWhor’. r has improved in these respect - over his work of last year. > ■ -. be : is I ut up one or two below par cc. o this season. btt» he had been I ano ■- I'd fqliy ■overed his *ll ngr .. <il ■• .i ~ if ■ had remained ■■ I -. th*f id hia work I f'-r.-r In secondary’ defense.

He was chosen to make the puntouts from behind the line. He was called upon to kick the goals after touchdowns. How He Did It. This is what Haughton -ay.-, of nis success: "Although a strong line plunger and capable of running the ends, Hardwick was doing more titan his ■share by acting as an end. while Felton was kicking. I doubt if more duties were ever placed on one player than were assigned to Ha rdw lek. "It surely takes a versatile ath j lete to do so many different jobs, and 1 am confident no other man could have done them all up to the hilt as did Hardwick.” Haughton declares that the Har vard attack was naturally built up about he kicking of Felton and Brickley, but. after the Princeton game, when it was discovered that Harvard might reasonably hope to realize its long-standing ambition to crash though Yale got a touch down, a scheme of line-rushing was evolved and Hardwick's versatil ity caused him to be chosen as the central factor in that only inno vation employed. This innovation wds the eight man scrimmage line. This is what Haughton said of that plan: "By this simple operation the of fensive line of scrimmage was suf ficiently lengthened to accomplish I one of two results. “If the opposing tackle went out to meet the flanking movement it meant that the defensive line was so much weakened. If, on the other hand, this tackle neglected to observe the flanking man, he was subject to an attack had been below par, he could not be > given the position; but such has not been the ease. Against Alabama, Se wanee, Tech and Auburn he played his old-time game; and as he is now stronger, knows more football and tac kles better than ever, I think, on the whole, that lie is deserving of tin place. I frankly admit, though, that had I'letcher not lie. n ruled out I would have s. leete.l him fur quarter and prob i ably have placed Sikes at half along- I side of Hardage, with Tolley second I choice at quarter.

Result of Hardwick's Play. That the use of Hutowieh in t: e manner stated was successful is shown by these incidents of the game, all of which figured In the re sult: First. When Flynn kicked 60 yards from behind his own goal near the beginning of the first pe- . riod—one of the longest punts ever made against Harvard—forcing Gardner to fumble, there occurred Hardwick's first remarkable play. Haughton describes it as follows: "The ball was loose and Bomeis ler was just about to pic k’it up with a clear field ahead of him. At that moment Hardwick made one of tlfe cleverest plays 1 have ever seen. Instead of trying for the ball himself, lie went after Bomeis ler and, by a. perfect piece of block- I Ing. knocked him off his feet, which ' enabled Brickley to recover the ■ ball. If Yale had scored on this I play, it would have seriously affect i ed the morale of the Harvard team.” Second. When Hardwick ran down the field under a Felton punt, bumped Wheeler and the lat ter fumbled. On this play Storer • recovered the ball for the first , touchdown. Third. When Flynn muffed a Felton punt on Yale's 17-yard line in the third period. This was where the eight-man play accom plished the only touchdown which was made without the aid of a Yale misplay. Haughton described this most graphically. He said “The third quarter had hardly begun when Flynn fe ll a. victim to one of Felton's punts, and it was Harvard's ball on Yale's 18-yard line, on the next play occurred one of the most perf t offensive moves I have ever witnessed. Gard ner ordered Hardwick on the right end of Harvard’s line, giving the eight men on the line formation, which 1 have previously described. The Yale left tackle either failed to observe Hardwick on his flank or else anticipated a. rush through the line, for he failed to assume his proper position. "Gardner w r as quick to jrecognlze ills mistake and ordered what Is commonly known as 'a skin tackle play.' Hriekley was given the ball, and with Wendell as his only In terferer, started toward Yale's left end. “Wendell took out the end con I | pletley. Hardwick boxed the tac kle as completley and Brickley' then proceeded to run around Yale’s en tire back field, who. I assume, had also anticipated a line plunge. This scored a. touchdown." Fourth. After Brickley had Inter cepted Pumpelly's forward pass in the third period and had run 42 yards, it was Hardwick who ran around Yale’s left end and took Gardner's sudden forward pass, placing the ball on Yale's eight yard line, where Brickley kicked his second goal from field. Fifth. After Brickley scored his touchdown, Hardwick punted out so successfully that he was able to kick a goal himself as neatly as he did after Storer's touchdown.
