The Crimson Ageressivene.,

The Crimson AGsressiveness.
| Harvard eXcelled at both ends, one
tackle, one guard and the center. while
1t was even at the other places in gem
| erai Harvard played with an aggressive

have seen crimson rush lines battered by

When 1t comes to comparing the back
fields, there is not much hesitancy in
| saying that Harvard was away ahead.
In catching punts, Ely made a mess of
things and was partly responsible for the
Generalization that at times showed it
self in his team. He ran the eleven with
fair judgment but many Yale adherent
sighed for the crippled De Saulles, who
made Harvard tremble year ago.
DibbIee the Star.
Dibblee as captain, was the bright par
ticular star. He was clear-headed and
never once ceased encouraging his men
when the odds temporarily were going
against them. His runs in broken fields
were better than anything he did against
"Old Penn" but he was particularly eff
fective in hitting the line. Dibblee work.
ed in such perfect harmony with Warren
and Reid that there was not a noticea-
BILE blunder made by any of them during
the entire game.
That the whole Yale team was up to
the usual standard, there can be no doubt,
but the Harvard eleven can be put in a
class by itself. The members of the vic
that they were battling on Yale's own
stamping ground and that the majority of
the great crowd was not in sympathy
with them. On the contrary, they play
ed football as well as they knew how,
paid little heed to the Yale cheers that
were uttered TO trice up the Blue war
riors. and then they won the day in such
signal style that their crowd went home
delirious.
The game was played in quick time.
Few men were laid out, and nobody was
seriously hurt. There was some little
roughing and slugging, but the officials
were on the alert and put a stop to it by
infiicting immediate penalties.
In kicking and rushing Harvard gained
nearly twice as much ground as Yale, the
latter being the recipient of the ball on
four downs when it was within short
hailing distance of the goal line on sew
eral occasions.
McMnstcrs the Lion.
McMasters, after the game, was hugged
by the Harvard crowd and informed that
ne could go TO Boston and have the city.
Jack was beside himself with joy, for ne
realized that he is trainer once more of
team that can rightfully lay claim to
the championship.
IF Harvard could only play Princeton
this year said he, as the crowd shook
him by the hand, Il won't say what we
would do to my old friends, but 1 am
pretty good at making prophecies"
The Line-Up.
Yale's coachers heartily congratulated
all Harvard men they came across, and,
in spite of the way the game turned out,
local undergraduates appear to be glad
Harvard won. But the double defeat at
the hands of the Tigers and the Crimson,
coupled with the downfall of Yale fresh
men this morning, were a series of blows
from which it will take Old Ell considera-
BILE time to recover.
