3' Harvard shoved nothing on which
to base a hope that the crimson can
win from Yale when they meet at
‘the Cambridge stadium next uernth.
”,The Harvard defense was only fair.
' “and the crimson attack. to quote an-
other coach. was “something ter-
rible!" It lacked even deception. the
ability to hide the ball for which
preceding teams of the Haughtou
and Fisher regimes were so widely
and Justiy famous.
The line was chiefly to blame. The
crimson showed an impressive look-
'ing lot of big. robust: linenw-n. but
they ceased to be impressive the
moment they swung into action. The
Dartmouth forwards almost invaria-
bly beat them to the charge and
Harvard plays that apparently were
based on the soundest Harvard prin-
ciples were smeared before they
reached the line of scrimmage.
Dartmouth's alert defenders sifted
through on almost every play and
r split the. interference for an
Happen shot at the runner or caused
aogreat a congestion behind the.
’line that the aforesaid interference
was a. hindrance rather than a help
to the runner. Check and Jenkins
gilt“ spent the greater part of the :Jter-
be... noon trying to run up thr- lla’kl or
H the uni assigned to clear a pa'h for
them.
One observer. with a flair fo- that
sort of thing. estimated that the
V Harvay‘ line was at least two-fifths
' of a se‘ond late on every charge.
‘ ' This gave the Dartmouth ants and
tackles ample time to smash into the
play and gum it before. it "rtcd.
After the ends and tackles h'rl drme

easy task for the defensive hacks ‘0

attack. ~
Only once. along in the
lad. did the Harvard attack
the slightest signs of being '1 :vcn-
pon to be feared. l‘p to this time the
crimson had gained only twoz'tl-Ont‘
yards from scrimmage and had yet

Hammond‘s attempted goal from the
field went astray.
Harvard gained only sit‘y-nine
yards from the scrimmage in -h: en-

SCHALK HAS
NEW RECORD
Agile Chicago Catcher
Has Record of Retir-
ing Player at Each
Base — Moved All
Over Field
It is doubtful if any catcher in
baseball. major or minor (an ‘roast
of the record Ray Schalk has to his
credit—that of having made a put-
out at every base on the bill field.
This is a most extraordinary 'eut for
a catcher to perform.
The backstop usually confines his
Work to the home plate. Ha put-
outs come. as the result of strike-
outs. caught fly balls or the retire-
men of runners trying to score. Yet
Sehaik. recognized as one of the
quickest thinkers in baseball. has
travelled all around the infield to
put the enemy to rout.
In an interview he explains his feet
as follows:—
"‘Soveral years ago we were play-
ing in Cleveland. Eddie Murphv was
in right field for us. .hmieson. of
Cleveland. was at bat. Jamiesoo be-
ing a. left-handed hitter. our first
baseman was plzning rather deep for
him. Jamlcson hit hard into right
field. When the bail shot into that
territory I had an idea that. Jamics-
on. a very fast than. might try for
second base, on the hit. if it. were
fumbled. so I started to jog to first
“.lamioson did as I expected. and
as he rounded first I dashed at full
speed for the bag. Eddie Murphy
handlml the ball rapidly. made. a
perfect peg to me at first. and Y tag-
:rd .lnmicron out as he slid back to
the bag.
"My put—out at third base
against the St. Louis team.
Chase was playing first base for
Chicago. and ho was. I think. the
greatest throwing first baseman the
game ever knew. No play seemed
too difficult for him.
"At the time I mention. Johnny
Tobin was on first base. The catter
laid down a hunt. which our third
baseman had to come in tov‘nndle
I realized thnt_our third baseman
would not be able to gct back .6 his
station for a play if Tobin fried to
come over. so. When the ha‘l was
hunted. I dashed for third. ”'ohin.
seeing the base uncovered. tucked
his head down and set sail.
Chase took in the situation at a
glance and made a perfect throw to
the bag. I managed to catch the ball
by diving for it. and in 5) ‘olng
throw myself directly into the path
of the runner, who was colic-i. out
by the umpire.
"My put-out at second also was
against the Browns. In many ways it
was the hardest of the lot for me to
perform: that is. it was the moat izn-
likelv place. for a catcher to be found
fielding a ball. Ray Demmitt was on
first. at the time. On the hit and
run play. Joe Gedeon hit a drive.
which Joe Jackson just managed to
snag way out in the field. The ball
seemed certainly on the wav into
the bleacher seats for a home run.
No one in the park thought Jack-
son had a. chance to get it. least of
all Demmitt. who was almost at
third base when the catch was
madb.
"I had run out into the -nfield
when the drive was hit. The mom-
ent Jackson caught the b1ll he
threw it to Swede Risberg. the short-
stop. who ran out into short field to
take the relay. In the meantime I
had run down to take Risberg's
throw and touch Demmitt out as he
dashed into second on his war hack
to first. The play really was easy for
me. because Demmitt was forcrd by
the rules to run right into his dem-
ise—he was required to touch second
base on his way back to first.
"Eddie Collins chased me good
naturedly back to the bench 'c:- in-
vading his territory. but it was not
so many years until he invaded
mine. In a runup play between ibird
base and the plate at the Pclo
Grounds s. year ago my attention-to
the runners became so great that I
left'the way open for one of them
to score easilyhprovided he got past
me while the ball was at. the third-
base end of the play. That is Just
what happened. but good oli Eddie
was right on the Job to take the
throw and save me credit for a
bonehead’tiay.
"Incidentally. Eddie himself has
made a put—out at every base except
third. _ and he is just smart en-

Heavyweights
‘ * —Renault
Title
of an all heavyweight card.
Boston over. a. misunderstanding
took away/his working papers in
Tex Rickard has always had a soft
spot in his heart for the big boys of
the ring. Of course this tender feel-
ing on the part of the promoter is
but natural. for although Te)? has
been kind to heavyweights by offer-
ing them enormous purses they in
return have been extremely good to
him by attracting tremendous gates.
which have benefitted the promoter
and the fighter mutually.
Never since Rickard first ventured
into the business of fighting. ages
ago. has he ever incurred any seri-
ous lames on a. heavyweight show.
He may have dropped a bit. on the
middleweight and other classes. but
when he wanted to play a sure
thing he led a. heavyweight card and
invariably raked in the money. Next
week's show should be no exception
to this rule. If the biggest crowd
of the season doesn't flock through
the doors of the historic old arena
then Rickard and his assistants
about the Garden will admit that
they are just a few young fellows
trying to get. along in the world.
The fans may like to watch a.
scientific boxer occasionally. but
when the old sock is present. the old
long green is sure to flow in at the
box odlce. In Renault and Johnson
the old antic dynamite will be very
much in evidence. Floyd Johnson's
last appearance around these parts
was over in Boyle's Thirty Acres.
when be disposed of the ambitious
Jack McAuiift'e :d in quick order.
Of course a short time before Floyd
felt the impact of one of Jess Wil-
lard’s celebrated knockout blowa. but
as the former champion was sup-
posed to be in the best shape of his
career and as it took Jess eleven
rounds to dispose of the youthful
Californian. perhaps that is not as
black a mark on Johnson'sk record
as Some people imagine. Since.
those two fights Floyd while-d away
a few weeks in the camp of Jack
Dempsey and also engaged in a few
lights out of town. but all of these
were of the workout variety. so new
little news concerning them filtered
back East. Just at present Johnson
is straining at the leash. and if he‘
defeats. Renault wants to take on
Harry Wills and all the rest of the
big fellows.
Renault. who has been fooling
around the heavyweight ranks for
quite a few years. has taken a new
lease on life recently. and has stop-
ped his last eleven. rivals in a few
rounds. The last fighter to meet
Renault's sleep producer was the
elongated Fred Fulton up Boston
way just a. few Weeks ago. The
plasterer was probably t most
famous celebrity to ease his Way on
Renault's knockout list. but just the
same the Canadian's work the last
few months has elicited praise from
many sources.
Last week Jim Corbett nominated
Renault when he was asked whom
he considered the most promising
looking contender for Jack Demp-
sey's title. Of course it has been a
standing joke for a good many years
that to be picked as a winner by
Corbett was a sure sign of defeat.
but like many quibs of its kind real-
ly has but weak legs to stand on. so
Corbett‘s opinion of Renault must be
taken for what it is worth. surely
“Gentleman Jim" shOuld know
something about the noble art of
tlstlcuffs. and as Renault’s perform-
ances recently have impressed others
besides Corbett perhaps the Cana-
dian has finally found himself and is
developing into the fighter he has
threatened to be on numerous occa-
sions. If Renault's heart has grown
strong along with his other assets
then perhaps the young Mr. John-
son will have his .hands full next
Friday night. Faint heart never
won a championship. so if Renault
has overcome this difficulty. as he
claims he has. then perhaps he is
about to blossom forth as a full
fledged antagonist. for ‘tfie heavy-
weight champion. .

This is the show that Tex Rickard has been talking about for
