new raven, Conn.,, Nov. 20.-Har-
ward defeated Yale, yesterday, II to 0.
The size Of the score as compared with
Princton's to 0 victory over Yale,
will cause Harvard to be accepted as
the virtual, though not the real, cham
pion of 1898.
Harvard showed a stronger often
sive game than against Pennsylvania
and played with the same steadiness.
Reid and Capt. Dibblee scored touch
downs for Harvard in the first half.
Haughton failed to kick the first goal
by a few inches, but kicked success
fully after Dibblee's touchdown. In
the latter part of the second half Reid
scored another touchdown and Haugh-
ton kicked the goal.
Reds first touchdown was scored
after Harvard had rushed the ball per-
sistently for more than half the field.
Harvard carried the ball from YaIe's
25-yard line for the second touchdown,
Dibblee making it. The third touch
down was scored by Reid after Har-
ward got the bali on a tumble on Yale's
15-yard line.
Yale was on the defensive through
the game, and Harvard goal was never
in danger until just before time was
called in the second half, when, after
Yale had accomplished her first con-
sistent gaining, Chamberln
made an Intellectual try for a goal from
the field.
In spite of the rain 10000 people saw
the contest. The field was covered
with small lakes and mud. The con-
ditions did not affect Harvarti's play
ing much, but Yale fumbled badly at
times
Barring last years 90 game. Har-
ward shut out Yale for the first time
since 1875, though Yale has shut out
Harvard five times since 1883. Not
since 1886 has a game between Har-
ward and Yale been won by such an
overwhelming score.
In the IL games played since 1889, in
Guiding yesterdays contest, Yale has
won nine and Harvard two. In this
time Yale has scored 1877 points to Har-
wards AZ. Harvard last defeated Yale
at Springfield in 1890 by Il to C.

: Morris u. Ely, the quarterback of the
Yale eleven whose injuries were at first
believed to be merely bruises, but
turned out to be a fractured rib, and a
broken shoulder, is resting fairly COM
Portable, tonight. He is apparently
more broken hearted over the loss of
the game than over his own injuries.
A strong sentiment is growing up
among the students of the university
that he should be rewarded with the
captaincy of the eleven for next year
The objection to Ely's selection among
the coachers so far as any is ascer-
tainable is that the policy of choosing
a graduate student for captain is not
deemed a wise one. 1t seems certain
that Capt. Chamberlain will not be re-
elected even should he return to study
another year at Yale, which is doubt
full.
Should Ely not be made captain the
only logical candidate is Mcbride, the
full back. Brown, the big guard, who
has still two years at Yale to study
and to play foot ball, is also mentioned
but as he is not a senior next year and
as his position at guard is not advan-
tageous for captain he is not greatly
favored.
The election which is by vote of the
men who played in the Princeton and
the Harvard game, will not take place
until Ely is able to attend.
The result of the game with Harvard
SENS to have created the strongest sort
Of feeling at Yale that the system of
volunteer graduate coaching is at fault
for the two defeats and that next year
Yale will have not only an able and
trainer, but also head
coach.
Capt. Dibblee of the Harvard eleven,
spent Saturday night and today, with
his folks at the New Haven House.
He also attended chapel, this morn
ing. In the afternoon, quiet tea was
given in his honor in Vanderbilt Hall
by a party of his preparatory school
friends.
