Varied Attack of Haughton Sys
tem May Prove Troublesome j i
Condition Big Asset
By George Berts
OREGON tootbair players wilt be
forced to , fight as never before
rhen the referee's whistle sets them
in action against the Harvard eleven
in the Intersections! gridiron clash
i Pasadena New Year's, day.
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

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. . .

The greater experience of the Har

by the condition of the Oregon team. It
is granted that the Lemon-Yellow will
have an edge on the Crimson players in
this line, as they are already on the
field, while Harvard has a six-day trip
ahead of It, being scheduled to arrive
at - Pasadena ! next. Friday afternoon.

The game is attracting more attent

senUtlve C N. Pat McArthur, i
former manager of the University of

i McArthur, a close student of the ,
game,' reached this conclusion after
witnessing the "following games in
the east during. the past season:
-" Navy-Oeorgetown, Penn-Pitt, Tale- ;
Harvard and Army-Navy.
WAS DOBIB BOOTEB .' .
In a lengthy letter to the Oregon ...
Emerald, McArthur gave some in
teresting facts : regarding the : big
games and also told of a visit with
Oil Doble, the Navy coach, who was
formerly at the University of Wash
ington, v
Concerning this, he said :
"Being a member of tLe house com-
mittee on naval affairs, : I was, of
course, a Navy partisan; and. for the
first time in my life, a rooter for
Doble's team. ' X spent the: evening
with the famous coach' and we agreed .
on hte superiority of Pacific coast
football. Dobie regards the Oregon -team
of 1911 as the strongest ever
turned out at Eugene, although he
had a high regard for the 191 .
eleven." v, ,

' McArthur "paid great tribute .to
Eddie Casey, the Harvard bacjcfield &
..star. , - - ' - . K
. The following Is taken from Mo-
Arthur's letter to the Emerald:

Former Oregon Halfback Says Dry

BOSTON, Mass.. Dec SO-Scotty Mon
telth of the famous Oregon eleven
of 1918. who Is visiting in Boston, thinks
Harvard's chances of defeating Oregon
are good.
MonteitlL. said today: "If weather
conditions are right. I think that Har
vard ought to win by one or two touch
downs. In a case liae uus loyarty
doesn't but any. ice. It's a matter of
cold, hard fact, and the dope as I see
it eives Harvard the better of the argu
ment under good playing conaiuons. ;
Steers is Oregon's all - round iman :
and well worth watching. He has been j
well drilled In how to run the Oregon!
eleven. Oregon's gams is to get'posses
elon of the ball and hang on to it, and
because Oregon has succeeded tn aomg
this in a majority of games. It has been
a big winner. Steers is a punter and
field goal kicker of ability, and his
understudy, Manerude, is, for all his
12S pounds, a wonderful nanaier ox a
football. ;(.-:?-.'?' '
WEIGHT IA HA3TDICAP
Oregon is handicapped. In my opinion,
to some extent by lack of weight on
the ends. : Howard and Anderson weigh
about 170 pounds, and may not be able
to stand the wear and tear. -The tackles
have had experience and are of the big,
rangy typo who know how to" and do
aid their ends at every possible turn.
'"The team as a whole, is well drilled
and -plays, brainy football It has ta
Steers a sensational player - fully - as
great a star as Casey of Harvard, and
while - the line ' doesn't compare in
weight - with Harvard's forwards, it
ought to show that a fighting spirit can
overcome weight as.lt has done before.
WILL HOT WOBBT OBEG01T
"As for Harvard,;! don't believe the
Crimson had to exert itself to the limit
to defeat both Brown and .Tale, the
teams I saw play against Harvard.
Harvard win go. against a team
equipped with a style of footban alto
gether different - from what it went
against in both the Brown and Tale
games, and from what I saw of Harvard
I don't believe that Oregon will be
greatly worried.- - ' j-
"Harvard never showed anytning in
these two games aside from lino bucks
and end runs, ; with a bit of forward
passing thrown In. I don't believe that
the Harvard formation is particularly
difficult to .solve, f Oregon has been n

schedule arranged by several coaches ot
the circuit Friday. President William
Fletcher Is not certain when be will call
the meeting, but if the session- is not
held Monday or Tuesday of this week
It is not likely that It will be called to
order until after the Christmas vaca
tion. Tbe tentative arrangement calls -for
the opening clash to be between Hill
Military academy and James John High
on January 12. and from then until
Columbia university, and Benson Tech
meet on March 1. five games a week
will be staged. There are nine teams
in the league, the Christian : Brothers
Business college having decided to give
up basketball as far as league competi
tion for 1919-20 was concerned.
February 24 was left open, according
to the schedule makers, because they
did not want any team playing three
matches In a week. - Just where the
games will be played was not finslly
settled, but Washington High school's
gymnasium and the Portland Y. M. C
.A. were tentatively agreed on.
All the squads of the Portland Inter-
scholastic league will let up on strenuous
training during the holidays, but that
will not prevent th various institutions
from holding practices just the same.
Sessions will be called daily, no doubt,
for an hour or so workouts while the

pRESIDENl" WILLIAM H.' M'CAR.
A , THY'S call for a meeting of the
Pacific Coast league club oWners in
San Francisco January S. has set
Judge McCredie of th Portland
Beavers a-thinking about the 1920
schedule. , .
The Judge the recognised champion of
schedule, makers of tbe Western slope
faces a difficult problem this season, and
he admits as much. The IS20 Jason in
all probability win call for 28 Weeks of
baseball, giving each club 14 wAks of
baseball at home and a like mimber on
the road. ,;r.":; ' '';."'-
WAJfTS BOXE GAMES v
That part is O. K. with the judge; in
fact, he favors that many weeks of
baseball ; but what is worrying him more
than anything elese Is to. arrange a ..
schedule that win enable the Beavers tV
play at home during the Shrtners' con
vention. Rose Festival and the T. P, A.
gathering during the latter part of June.
Portland has never played at heme
during these two weeks sa long as the
judge can remember, and that's a pretty
long time. It is likely, however, that
a- schedule putting Portland at home '
during the last two weeks In June, as
weu as .July 4, win be adopted. ,
WILL OFK3T APEIL
J
The 1920 season win open April 8.
with Portland at Salt Lake, Vernon at
San Francisco, Oakland at Los Angeles ,
and Seattle at Sacramento. The second
week probably will find Portland at Sac
ramento, Seattle at Salt Lake. Oakland
at San Francisco 'and Vernon at Los
Angeles. 1 v.
In arranging the second week's series.
the moguls want to get in the double
openers at San Francisco and Los An
geles. - .
Portland and Beattle will open their .
home series April 20, Los Angeles being '
the attraction on the Vaughn street
grounds. San Francisco will open at '
Seattle on April 21. San Francisco will
play the second series at Portland.
TBABE8 IS AIB
Discussion of .the resumption of re
lations with the major league clubs and
the restoration of the uraft will be one
of the orders of business.
It would not be surprising if the mag
nates pulled .across several trades. Bill
Rodger a, the peppery boss of the Sac
ramento jteam, is willing to make sev
eral dealt, and it Is likely other man-
sgers will do likewise If they can benefit
by the same.
