IMPRESSIONS or SATURDAYS BTG
GAME Ar SOLDIERS FIELD.


Football enthusiasts were still discussing
tho result OF the Yale Harvard gamo yester-
! day Many who saw the battle on Soldiers
Field on Saturday returned to this city and
| among them It was the prevailing opinion that
II the Yale eleven does not lose its form be-
tween now and next Saturday Princeton will
have hard time to win. II is conceded BY
number OF Yalo mon that Harvard had tho
better team man for man. but that fales
physical condition and fierce playing offset
this advantage Harvard supporters say.

criticism because he delayed this play to an
unnecessary degree. II Is tho concensus OF
opinion that Burnett should have Kicked the
goal without any trouble as tho bail was In

Just. for knowing Burnett's kicking ability the
little quarter back probably felt confident that
polnts could DO scored In this manner. Hal
Iowell's goal failure al the end OF the game was
excusable. He has done no drop kicking
this year and as Sawin had been COM
PEELED to give way to Parker there was
nobody left to make n try. Hallowell was not
well protected by his rush line when no made
his drop kick. but at that he got the ball away
in good shape and missed tho post by n couple
OF yards. Yalo men are giving quite good
deal OF credit TO George Foster Sanford. the
