When “Terrible
Football” Throttled
By GEORGE FINLAY
Sports Editor King Feature Service
fNOME of those who analyze foot
ball insist that Yale’s defeat
by Harvard in their 1929 grid
iron duel was due mainly to the fact
that both the Yale line and backs
gave little or no protection to Albie
Booth, the star of the Blue eleven.
Albie Booth
And they submit the extraordi
nary picture above as definite evi
dence that at least on one play, after
Booth dropped back to kick, his sup
| porting caste suddenly found about
everything else to do except to pro
tect him so that the punt might be
l successful. Albie’s effort was
blocked of course. It was made in
that poignant second period when
all the scoring was done—Harvard
winning 10—6.
| The Yale athletes wore white hel
mets in that game. Look for the
I white helmcted fellows who were
supposed to protect Booth. Then
look at little Booth in person, as he
is trying to make a kick tUat was
blocked. Gaze upon these $ijc Har
vard men that had him surrounded.
Look at the three Yale backs
actually running away from Booth!
Look at. the Yale ends—and the
rest of the Yale line. All of them
trying to got down the field to get
under the punt that never was
made.
This picture illustrates better
than any that ever was made on a
football field the something that is
called “terrible football.” For the
Yale team was so concentrated on
getting down that it left Booth aj
prey to six Harvard men.
“Protect your kicker,” is the
fundamental rule of football. Un
doubtedly it was taught at Yale in
1929. But in the excitement of com
bat the Blue squad forgot about it,
and more than half of the Harvard
team filtered through the apparent
ly feeble defense of Yale and hurled
themselves almost en masse at the
little Yale kicker.

Nrw York,—Hitherto the aviator,
like the automobile driver, has flown
90 per cent by the use of his eyes
But the epic flight of Lieutenant j
James L. Doolittle in a com ' -tely
enclosed cockpit has, according to
a special article for St. Nicholas by
A. M. Jacobs, almost eliminated the
hitherto insuperable dangers of [o<,
forced landings at night and poor
visibility.
An automobile can only get off
its course by going left, or rig in, but
aii airplane can not only go left or
right (known as yawning), it can
drop nose or tail first (pitching', or
it can drop either wing (banking),
Hitherto these three movements I
have been recorded by three sep
arate dashboard dials which Indicate
the degree of angle with the earth.
But it is hard to keep track of all
dials and reckon out a' sale angle
- especially when we remembe• that
tire modern airplane has approxi
mately 12 aials to be watched on Its
dashboard.
After a year of intensive study
sponsored by the Daniel Guggen
heim Foundation for the promo
tion of aeronautics, Lt. James K
Doolittle has developed an ins'ru
rnent known as the artificial horV
•/on. A small airplane is shown in
front of a "horizon line.” This in
strument is gyroscopic and the
small plane tips about Just as ..he
real one does. The pilot instant’v

ing to reckon angles or compare
dials.
The radio beacon which keeps the
plane on its course has always come i
to the aviator by the regular dash j
and dot through earphones. But Lt
Doolittle has two steel reeds in a
dial which are tuned to the b-icon
and vibrate the white tops apoear
ing as white lines. At a turn from
tlie path to the left, the left reed
vibrates more and makes a lo-ge
'vhite line. To keep on the course i*„
is only necessary to keep both lines
even.

Instead of the usual fifty-foot read

flew 5 miles along his beacon, turn
ed, passed directly over his beacon,
flew 2 miles in the opposite direc
tion, turned, and made a perfect
landing a few feet from the posi
tion of his take-off.
The St. Nicholas article ends with
a prophecy: “With these and other
inventions on the way, safe flying
will soon be taken for granted ”

he expected to miss.
Early in the morning he was driv

When they reached the garage the

to stop with his passenger. Both

car that everything on the interior
of the motor seemed to be “all gum-,

Caught By Editor.
“When the news of Byrd’s epoch
al flight was received. Bropny was
reading copy in the Bee-News of
fice. The night editor looked brer a
group of photographs ot Byrd’s
crew. In one of them he recognized
“C. Manning Mitchell” standing be
side Commander Byrd and Mayor
Jimmie Walker.
“He looked at the picture again,
then at ’Mitchell,” busy at the copy
desk. There could be no doubt ,hat
’Mitchell’ was Brophy. All the time
‘Mitchell’ was unaware that he had
been identified as Brophy unaware
even that his former commander
had flown over the South Pole.”
Telegrams were sent to New
York, and Brophy's life was traced.
Admits Identity.
Confronted with the evidence.
Brophy admitted his identity, the
story says. With tears in his eyes he
told a story of how he had been ’ e
sleged with trouble after leaving ‘he
U.vrd expedition. Mid had sought
solace in masking his identity.
“I only wanted to rest,” he is
quoted. "My nerves were shattered,
I was tired, distraught, unable to
find relief from the pressure hat
seemed to hem me in.
‘•So I foolishly considered suicld®.
1 say lodlishly, because realization
came to me while hi the water, at
Coney Island that problems of this
life are not to be solved by such an
act.
"Having come to this conclusion I
burned behind me all my b’idges
save one. I shall explain to my
good and dear friend Commander
Byrd just wlial this bridge was. At
that time 1 shall divulge mv
thoughts of cowardice and my three
contemplations of ending it all.
"I have found rest in Omaha, but
now that my secret lias been dis
covered. I'm going back to New
York and get my tangled s ' airs
straightehed out. I must begin
where I left off on that day I vent
for a swim at Coney Island, Bro
phy said.
The theory that Brophy had , am
mit,ted suicide was abandoned when
Investigators found his clothes in a
Coney Island locker, and discovered
he had left a forwarding address at
Ills New York hotel.
Brophy came to Omaha Sept, 25
and started to work for the Morn
ing Bee. His wife and ten-year-old
son are said to be living in Canada.
Bums Way West.
"I bummed my way here from
New York and I picked Omaha be
cause it would be a good place to
■bury’ myself,” he is quoted. "I
picked the Morning Bee because I
wanted to work at night and I took,
the name of C. Manning MitcneJl
because I had done some writing
under that name.”
After leaving New York, he relat
ed that he started west without a
penny, the story relates. Stranded
in Ohio, he tried to get a joo as a
waiter, but was told he couldn't do
the work.
“So I became a bus boy in a cheap
cafe. I couldn’t even handle * bus
boy’s job as it ought to be handled
I hung onto the Job until I had
saved $10, enough with which to
purchase some clothes and nake
myself presentable in applying for

wanted to do.”
