BY the New Hayenftes-Yale Men
Played as They Have Never Play
ed Before This Season, and fester-
days Achievement Wound Up
Most Successful Season.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, November "a.
Victory long delayed perched upon the
blue banner of old Yale to-day when
the football team of the New Haven
University smothered the crimson OF
fair Harvard in the annual football
contest played at Yale field. For the
first time since 1894 Yale scored VIC
tory over Harvard and to-day she took
sweet revenge for Harvard's merciless
performance in New Haven two years
ago, when the crimson rejoiced over
the blue by the score of II to 0. To-
day Yale administered to Harvard
Waterloo to the tune of % to O. 1t was
Yale from the first lick off and the
warriors of the blue seemed bent on
furnishing Harvard to the limit.
In the first half Yale scored two
touch downs In the second half she
repeated this performance and in addl-
ton to tearing Harvard to pieces for
two touch downs, Sharpe, the Yale
half back, lifted field goal from the
25 yard line.
In the first fifteen minutes of the
game, by means of her stalwart rush
line, the famous tackles back forma-
ton with confusing variations, tore
through the Harvard forwards for the
first touch down for Yale. An easy
goal made the score six to nothing.
A few attempts at rushing were fol-
loved by Harvard punt. Gould, the
Yale end, muffed the ball and it bound
cd into Finckes hands. Like magic
Yales interference formed and Finke,
falling behind it, started down the field
for Harvard's goal. He left his inter
fere.sce behind after Is yards and
eiuded the Harvard backs and after
magnificent run of sixty yards, he
placed the ball squarely behind the
goal posts for the second score. Hale
kicked the goal and the first half ended
with the score at IL to 0, in Yale's
favor.
The second half was killing one
for Captain Days men and it was not
long before they began to give way
before the unprecedented onslaughts
OF the Yale men. Burnett had succeed
ed Lee just before the first half ended.
Shortly after the kick off of the sec
ond end, the crimson supporters were
thrown into panic when DAILY, who
had been limping, went to the side
lines and Harvard had lost her cap
tain.
In rapid succession Harvard's men
surrendered and before the game was
over the crimson team had played
twenty men. The only Yale man to
leave was Olcott, the center, who, with
five minutes to play, had sustained
blow on the head and Holt took his
place. The scoring of the second half
was of the spectacular order. Chad
wick, the Yale half, was pushed across
the line after a series of marvellous
line plunges which Harvard was ut
terly incapable OF checking.
Stillman, a few minutes later al
most unaided, tore down four chalk
lines for the fourth touch down.
Shapes punt out for one of these
goals ended in a fizzle.
Repeated rushes brought the ball
within striking distance, and Sharpe
was dropped back for his second at
tempt at field goal The Yale line
aeld like stone wall and sharpe lift
ed the leather without trouble. 1t flew
coward the goal posts, struck one Of
the uprights and glanced through.
This ended the scoring. Yale's goal
was never in doubt, Harvard not once
reaching point nearer than the Yale
thirty yard line Throughout the
game Yale retained possession of the
ball three-quarters of the time and
when it fell to Harvard's lot on in
S frequent occasions, to try an advance,
her line plays and end formations
were thrown back
The experts at the best points of OBJ
servation ascribed the victory to Yale's
magnificent team work and the superb
physical condition of her men.
