SPECTATORS ITCH IN AMAZEMENT
US YULE MUSHED BY HARVARD
/Seventy-One Thousand Persons Witness 36 to 0 Drubbing’ in
' Blue Bowl-- Largest Number of Points Ever Registered
Against An Eli Eleven-- Crimson Rushed Up and Down
Field Almost at Will, Scoring in Everyone of Four Periods.
New Haven, Conn. —Harvard's foot
ball juggernaught crushed the Yale
eleven by a 36 to 0 score in the Blue
"bowl" here today while 71,000 spec
tators watched the gridiron rout in
stupified amazement.
The Crimson machine rushed up and
down the field, almost at will, scoring
Jn every one of the four periods and
when play had ended in had rolled up
the largest number of points ever
registered against an Eli eleven. With
the exception of the 1885 Yale victory
of 48 to 9. it was the greatest score
ever made in the thirty-four games
played since 1875.
Thrilling Scope.
The one-sided score fails to give
the slightest inkling of the thrilling
scope of play or the remarkable strat
egy and individual brilliancy. The
elevens struggled back and forth the
length of the gridiron, every second or
third play bringing the thousands to
their feet.
Bewildered.
Spectators were bewildered by the
rapid successions of runs, passes and
kicks which were turned into scores
with almost as much rapidity, but al
ways for Harvard. Far from the least
of those kaleidoscopic changes were
the fumbles Yale contributed in the
shadow of the chimson goal posts and
which Harvard turned into additional
touchdowns.
The grip of the game seld spell
bound the great gathering of football
enthusiasts ever assembled for an in
tercollegiate contest in this country.
Row after row the cement tiers rose
In great elliptical sweeps, each thou
sand of men and women, crowded
shoulder to shoulder, while from the
blue sky the sun shone with just
enough power to take the chill from
the sharp November atmosphere.
The Yale cohorts remained loyal to
the last, although they realized that
the Blue had a foil for one of the
greatest elevens of all time.
No Safety.
Harvard scored by all methods ex
cept the safety. Hardly had the con
test opened before the Cambridge
combination showed its power. Just
after the kickoff the Crimson took a
Y'ale punt on her own 20-yard line
and started down the field. The ad
vance broke through on around the
Yale line for steady gains until inside
the Blue’s 10-yard line. Hem a for
RESULTS ON THE GRIDIRON
Illinois Defeats Wisconsin.
Madison, Wie.— The powerful I Ilinois
eleven won the Western Conference
championship here Saturday by taking
the final game from the University of
Wisconsin, 24 to 9.
Illinois made three touchdowns and
one field goal. Wisconsin made one
touchdown and a safety. The Wisconsin
line could not resist the fierce Illinois
plunges and with the visitors’ brilliant
backfieid the Cardinals had little chance.
Wisconsin vainly resorted to forward
passed, but failed to gain. » The Wis
consin team, however, is given great
credit for its game stand against Illi
nois, which is credited with aving the
*best balanced eleven seen in the confer
/ence for years.
\ Purdue Victorious.
■ LaFayette, Ind. —Purdue won from In
diana Saturday, 23 to 13. Superiority
at line smashing and skirting ends
brought victory.
Pultse, Purdue’s quarterback, drop
kicked a goal from the 45-yard line.
Both teams failed at forward passing.
Army Wins.
West Point, N. Y. —The Army closed
its home season Saturday by defeating
Springfield Training school, 13 to 6. The
game was played in mud.
Both teams made many attempts at
forward passes and open play but foot
ing was so treacherous few trys were
successful.
Navy Defeats Ursinius.
Annapolis, Md. —With a team com
posed largely of second string men.
Navy today defeated Ursinius, 33 to
‘Vindication is
suns; led frank
Atlanta, Ga. —Leo M. Frank, under
sentence of death for the murder of 14
year old Mary Phagan, issued a state
' ment here tonight in which he ex-
Jfcpressed confidence that his vindica
tion would ultimately be established.
"Whether I will live to see my vin
dication, I cannot tell,” added Frank.
‘ I am human enough to want to live
to see it, for it is my right and due.
But I may not; X may suffer death.
"Still one thing is sure—the truth
can not be executed. Vindication may
be long In coming but it will come.
With this knowledge, death itself has
little terror for me, for It is said 'He
who is innocent within is armed
without.’
The statement was prompted by the
recent decision of the supreme cuort
of Georgia declining to annul the ver
dict of guilty returned against the
young factory superintendent. Attor
neys for Frank are now attempting to
obtain a hearing before the supreme
court of the United States.
Frank again criticized the condi
tions surrounding his trial, asserting
that there was "an atmosphere reek
ing with prejudice and mob violence,
where Impartial, calm and judicial
consideration was impossible."
Him
JEN MUST DIE
Phoenix, Ariz. —With the statement
that his heart had been saddened by
the verdict of the people in refusing
at the recent election to abolish capi
tal punishment, Governor Hunt de
clared today he would let fourteen
condemned prisoners die on the g&l
ward pass resulted in the first touch
down.
Harvard struck savagely in the sec
ond quarter. Starting from its own
40-yard line, the team carried the ball
in rapid fashion until Francke was
given the pigskin for the final plunge.
He fumbled, but, following the ball
like a flash, fell on it as it rolled
across the goal line for Harvard's sec
ond score. Hardwick again failed at
the try for a goal.
Yale Punted.
Yale then took a punt on her 25-
vard line and the team rammed its
way through to the Harvard 25-ya.rd
line. The Crimson forwards stiffened
and Yale resorted to a forward pass
for ten yards. Then the team resum
ed its line battering but it went for
naught. On the final rush Knowles
dropped the ball and Leftend Coolidge,
of the Crimson eleven, got in and on a
dead run started for the Y'ale goal,
98 yards away. The Y'ale team was
slow to get into pursuit. Not so with
Harvard. The Crimson players
streamed along in the wake of Cool
idge, ready to ward off tackles on his
rear. It was well they did for Le
gore and Wilson, two of Yale’s fastest
sprinters, were soon sweeping over the
turf at great speed. They began to
try to overhaul Coolidge but clever
blocking and checking by Hardwick,
Mahan and Trumbull protected the
tiring runner until he had crossed the
line for the third touchdown from
which Hardwick kicked his first goal.
In the history of football, which goes
back to 1873, but four longer runs
have been made following a fumble
and those were in the days when the
field was longer than and present 100-
yard dimensions.
Yale Out-Classed.
Yale was out-classed and out-gen
eraled, although several of her players
compared favorably from an individual
standpoint with Harvard's best. Le
gore’s running, Knowles’ line plung
ing, Wilson's, Talbott's and Betts’ de
fensive work were bright spots. Like
all recent Harvard teams, the indi
vidual was sunk in the perfect work
ing of the machine.
Mahan and Hardwick were the Har
vard stars from an individual stand
point, but it was a football team that
Coach Haughton sent into the Yale
bowl to help in the dedication of the
new football stadium.
2. The visitors scored a safety in the
final moments of play.
Minnesota Gets Second Place.
Chicago.—Minnesota today won sec
ond place in the Western Conference
race for football honors, defeating
Chicago, 13 to 7. Chicago, though
crippled by the absence of Gray, its
best back, held the strong Minnesota
team down even terms, one touch
down each, until Captain Desjardien,
of Chicago, who repeatedly saved Chi
cago by his long punts, was hurt in
the first play of the final quarter and
taken out. Minnesota made its final
touchdown by successive plunges
through the weakened Maroon line.
Dartmouth 40; Syracuse 0.
Boston.—A versatile Dartmouth
eleven, with bull-like rushes, sweep
ing end runs and accurate passes
overwhelmed a heavier team from
Syracuse today, 40 to 0. Man for man
the New Hampshire eleven excelled.
Dartmouth took advantage of frequent
fumbles and used the forward pass
successfully. Syracuse played an
open game.
Georgetown Defeated.

GOSSIP IN FOOTBALL WORLD
The 1914 football season which
closes this week will go down In his
tory as the most surprising, the most
spectacular and the most successful
financially of any season in the long
history of the rah rah sport.
The season was filled withsurprises
of a startling nature. Not one week
went by that some big eleven did not
go down to defeat or was tied by one
of the so-called weaker elevens. Not
one week flitted hence without the
grand old dope being upset in a fash
ion that made it dizzy.
The new style game that was uni
versally adopted this year was the
cause for the surprises and it also was
the cause for spectacular playing that
featured nearly every game in which
evenly matched teams figured.
The open style game changed foot
ball from a game that was rather un
interesting and marked by only a few
spectacular open plays to a game re
plete with open and spectacular plays
Practically every college team in
the country will finish the season with
bigger profits than ever before. The
three big colleges—Yale, Princeton
and Harvard—will have a bulky net
profit due to the fact that the Har
vard-Princeton game drew 40,000 per
sons, the Yale-l'rinceton game, about
42,000 and the Yale-Harvard game
over 70,000. The. spectators paid $2.00
each to see these games, so it may
be seen that he total proceeds from
these three games alone were over
$300,000.
Coaching System.
One thing that the season has prov
ed and that is that the. professional
coaching system is better than that of
graduate coaching.
Harvard pays Percy Haughton some
thing like $7,000 for his three months
work, and ever since Haughton has
been coaching Harvard the Crimson
eleven has been considerably among
those present. Yale hired a coach this
year and Yale this year has shown
better form than any of the Yale
teams for hte past four or five years
when the amateur coaching system
was in force.
Princeton has graduate coaches and

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Princeton's showing this wear shrieks
against the graduate coaching sys
tem. Michigan has a professional
coach. It has had a professional coach
for many years In the person of "Hus
tle ’Em Up” Yost and in all these
years Michigan has figured largely in
football affairs.
Washington and Jefferson hired Hob
Folwell to do the coaching two years
ago and ever since Washington and
Jefferson has been one of the Idg
noises in the football world. The
University of Pittsburg has a profes
sional coach, and Pittsburg this year
had one of the very best teams in the
East.
Carlisle has had a professional coach
for many years and for many years
Carlisle has been one of the most
feared teams in the country.
Forward Pass.
Most of the football elevens in the
east have considerable difficulty in
executing a forward pass. In the big
games in the East in which the for
ward pass was tried more than a score
of times, it was successful in only a
few instances. Judged from the spec
tators’ viewpoint, the forward pass
ought to be successful at least, five
times out of ten.
Princeton tried a half dozen forward
passes in the game against Harvard.
Only once did it "take.” That result
ed in a 20-yard gain for the Tigers.
In two of the other four cases Har
vard got the bajl, while In the three
other Instances the ball was grounded
and was to he taken back to the lay
ing point.
It seems from a spectators' view
point that the men who handle the
throwing end of the forward pass
waits too long before making the
heave. They get the ball, pull back
their arms, Upping the opposition to
what Is coming and then usually wait
and take aim. The business of tak
ing aim may be all right, but it hasn’t
proven to be all right.
While the thrower Is taking aim it
gives the opposing players a chance
to shoot, forward toward the man who
is to receive the ball and kill off his
chances to catch the ball.
as is shown by the fact, that In elgtit
contests. Union has been scored upon
only three times once by a drop kick
and twice by touchdowns.
Union closed its season in a blaze of
glory on Saturday by defeating Hamil
ton, its trongest rival, 25 to 7. It was
Union's fourth victory over Hamilton In
Ya years- and th< Hamilton team this
year looked like one of the best that has
represented one of the so-called smaller
colleges.

THE PRINCESS
“Never,” She Cried, “Never Again Will I Leave My
Fairy Tale Kingdom.” And Just Then a Slender Hand
Took the Old Book and Opened it Just £t Her Page.
The princess was living on a ro
mantic page In the book of fairy tales.
Blie was beautiful and fair as prin
cesses only are in fairy tale books. Sho
wore a gown embroidered \\ ilh gold
and in her hand she held a White lily.
As long as she could remember she
had been standing on the tower of her
castle looking at a landscape that
never changed.
Now it does make you feel rather
stupid always to hold a lily in your
hand and at times it made her thor
oughly disgusted with herself. She
felt an almost irresistible desire to
throw it away and run from the stupid
picture page out into the wide world.
It was quite unbearable. In the pic
ture where she stood the sky was al
ways blue and the sun a golden yel
low, but what disgusted her more than
anything else was the fiddler . stand
ing at the foot of the tower with whom
she was supposed to he hopelessly
and romantically In love. For a cen
tury he had been standing there with
out getting a single step closer.
Onoe when It was dark night in the
real world without she screamed aloud
so that it was hoard through a hun
dred pages of the fairy tale book,
screamed for somebody to help.
On the next picture in-t.ho'fatry tale
hook lived an old witoh In a flood of
dazzling moonlight. Toads and snakes
were all around her. The old witch
knew how dreadful It is always to be
alone and while she was young and
pretty she had run away from the
fairy tale book many times In search
of adventure, but now she was old and
virtuous.
Old witches, however, love to see
beautiful young princesses go to the
bad. She did not hesitate long, hut
put on her peaked cap wrapped her
self and astride a broomstick she rode
straight through a hundred pages Into
the princess' castle.
The princess who saw her threw
away her Illy and ran, ran as fast as
she could but not toward the loving
and faithful fiddler, out of the castle,
through the garden and the long alley
to the white margin of the page.
“Beware, princess,” the old witch
cried, "you must be hack before the
cock crows or pay a dreadful penalty."
“1 shall he back In time,” cried the
princess and jumped right out into
the real world.
For a moment she looked around all
bewildered for the real world was full
of hooks ami very, very dark. Only
on a small table a little sun was shin
ing under a green silk shade anil
there sal a young woman reading a
letter.

GRAND DUCHESS MARIE PAVLOVA OF RUSSIA.
Patrograd.—Word earn* from tile front today thai Hu Grand Duchess
Marl*- Pavlova, recently divorced from Prince William of Sweden, and
Princess Helen of Heryln, daughter-in-law of the Grand Duki Constan
tine, are now on Hi*' firing line. They left here attired in ibe Red Gross
garb, having abandoned all forms anil ceremonies of (he court.
The Dowager Empress of Russia In atao Indefatigable In her work
of visiting the Red Cross hospitals and Ik doing splendid service In draw
ing ladles of the court und others to follow her example.
Ihe princess recognized her Imme
diately, it was her good friend of
.years ago--though at that time her
hail- was hanging loose and she wore
short skirts.
Today her friend was sad and the
princess wanted so much to enjoy
herself. Fortunately there lived In the
nc.\i book a young nobleman called
lionieo, who held a rope ladder in his
hat'd, tie politely offered Ills assist
ance ami helped the young princess
lii reach the window sill. The win
dow was open and a branch of a rose
hush stretched into the room. The
princess clung to (his. It bent under
her weight and gently let her down
on the lawn.
The garden strangely enough look
ed just liltr that in her own fairy tale
hook, in one walk stood a man just
like her faithful loving fiddler. But,
he did not stand still very long. With
hurried steps and quite out of breath
he came nearer.
“You are the fairest, most beautiful
princess in all the world," he said
tenderly and kissed her. The prin
cess trembled with a feeling she had
never known before.
“How Is It?” she asked, "that your
lips speak most sweetly when you say
nothing?”
“Oh, that was a. kiss."
And every night after this the prin
cess rah away from her fairy tale
book to listen to the strange sweet
ness of lips that said nothing and only
returned home Just before the cock
crowed. She slipped noiselessly hack
into her hook and never noticed how
everything changed. The lily began
to fade and wither and the faithful
fiddler grew paler.
At last the old fairy tale hook
changed. II acted In a rnyst odious
manner, hid behind other hooks anil
concealed love letters hot ween Its
leaves. And the pale young woman
sat under her 111 lie green shaded sun
and cried until It was nearly dawn.
The princess paid no attention to
her. She did not even understand
what tears meant. In the fairy tale
book time 'never moves, in tho real
world it Is continually being wasted.
The roses in the garden withered,
grey clouds gathered around the
moon. It grew dark and cold.
The princess shivered She was
afraid of being alone and her lover
often lot her wait so long and when ho
finally came lie was almost as dull
as tlio faithful fiddler.
The princess did not want to no
tice tills. She tried to hold him with
loving flattering words when he want
ed to leave tier. And it was long
since the cock had crowed. Women,
alas, iln not listen to the warning
crowing when they try to put new life
lnlo a dying love. The princess stay
ed out too late, later than she ought
to.
The next day the prophecy of the
old witch was fulfilled In all its bit
terness: Her lover did not come. The
princess waited and waited, tears
whitened her cheeks and she felt a
Sharp pain in her left breast. Next
day when she came home the paper
of the page burst just across her
heart. What did she care now for the
eternal sunshine, the roses and the
pale, faithful fiddler? She knew it
was all merely a fairy tale. Her lover
had gone never to return.
“Never," she cried, "never again
will 1 leave my fairy tale kingdom.
And lust then a slender hand took
the old hook and opened It Just at
her page. In her terror the princess
almost dropped the withered lily.
Her friend, (he pale young woman
stood there, hut not alone, a man was
next to her whom the princess knew
The princess trembled, the castle
trembled as did also the blue sky.
Tlio man looked at her as Indiffer
ently as if he had never seen her he
fore, hut the pale young woman ty*ok
the love letter from tho book.
"Did you not swear that you would
love mo always? That you would
love me and never leave me?
Tile man shook his head. He was
evidently bored. He said he had to
go far away and ho had never loved
anybody else.
"That Is what he told me, too,”
whispered the princess but nobody
heard her.
And the poor pale woman cried.
She, too, had once longed to get away
from her fairy tale book, and had also
failed to hear the cock crowing and
now her heart, was breaking for In the
real world people think that not only
fairy tale princesses but all women
have paper hearts.
