The-Harrari style- or, to be more exact, the Percy Haughton system which swept the big Eastern teams off their feet for a number of years, is likely to prove troublesome to the Lejnon-Yellow warriors. , Combined with a wonderful forward pass ' attack, the short, snappy aerial shoots, Harvard uses a series of plays built around ' the fleet-footed Eddie Casey and a baffling assortment of line backs and. plunges? - The Crimson team uses, its open attack in the neutral sone and its own territory, and only resorts to line -bucks, in which Ralph Horween, the big fullback, is called upon time and again to carry the ball, when within the opponent's 40-yard line; - ; A off-tackle play, alaillar to the .one with which Oregon has had great suc . cess in the past several seasons; is ' worked frequently, with the elusive Casey carrying the pigskin. mi vnau as vu viifj ava fun vtu) miu sea variably the ball is booted out of its own, territory. If this is followed through in the Pasadena contest, there will likely-be a great punting duel be tween R. Horween and BUI Steers. According to a former University of North Carolina player, from whom most , of the Information regarding the Oregon ', attack has been gained. Horween is a Ka4aw min'tM thin Bf a.., ' tf u aUa an excellent goal-kicker, but Steers pos sesses a highly educated toe, as does the . diminutive Manerude, who likely will be called into the game. . The Crimson forward pass offensive Is a pussling one. -v -It wa devised by Haugnton lor nig gams alter passes naa ku nn Til At i n ot.a A rf tvn Ai'lol shoots. The passes are frequently made after an attempt has been made to draw the secondary defense players out of - their regular position by a fake end run or off -tackle play. - Tale went down to defeat before Har vard on a short forward pass on which Caney made a brilliant 26-yard run. . The direct pass system is used entire ly by 'Harvard. - A majority of the end . plays nd sometimes the off-tackle ; ducks are niaua i urn uio yum lonrm- tipn. Oregon uses this same offensive Tti4.nn mm rtrw A a Ifa mam .t r Harvard players are aggressive, but they will find Oregon can put up a stiff fight. Football is drilled Into their heads by, a number of assistant coaches, mnnv rt whnra wnrlrflrt under TTanrhtfm : when Be was mentor at Cambridge. Nearly all of them come from the big prep schools from the East, and for that , reason they likely , will have a slight edge on Oregon in experience. , Another feature of the Harvard coach inx system s the fact that its ends can play on either extremity, the unbalanced . line being used almost entirely with the end shifted over In place of a tackle or a guard. -.-:.--, . , 5 A backfleld player generally follows , the man carrying the ball in case of a fumble, and each man downs the player he is supposed to get on the offensive. ; Each player is assigned a man, and that man is generally covered.'- Coach Huntington of the Oregon team has a btg,task on his hands to perfect an adequate defense .for the Harvard ' players. Many conferences have been held between Huntington and his ad. visors since It was announced that Ore . son was selected to play at Pasadena. and more will be held at Pasadena next .weeav--i ;'- - :- Weather conditions halted extensive practice on the campus at Eugene, but now that the players are domiciled in Pasadena, much effort will be exerted ' in perfecting the defense. A light work out was engaged In Saturday following the arrival of the team, but the real Job "of perfecting the players for the game begins Monday. . .

TRIP MAT. HUB? HEX f The greater experience of the Har vard players may be offset somewhat by the condition of the Oregon team.
