GAME.
MINNESOTA AGAIN VICTORS
Defeats the Northwestern University
Eleven BY Score Of
Is to o.

Soldiers Field, Cambridge, Mass,
Nov. 23.-Vengeance never sweeter
and victory never nor decisive came
to Harvard this afternoon when her
eleven defeated Yale % to O.. Three
touchdowns, two of which were con-
verified into goals, and a goal from the
field by brilliant execution were Har-
wards portion. For Yale there was
nothing but ~whitewash.
The Harvard men required about
five minutes in which to start their
superb football machinery. After that
Yale was in the playing. In
scrimmage tactics, line plunging, hurd-
ling, punting and drop kicking the
Yale men were completely ~outclassed.
The Harvard players also gave a DEM
onstration of uniform play that was
remarkable, and as a result the colors
of the crimson waved in delireous
joy during the greater portion of the
two hous occupied by the contest.
Thirty-six thousand spectators, a
greater number than ever before gath
cred at a football game, watched the
battle from the mammoth stands.
Three-quarters of the enormous crowd
| cheered Harvard, while 5000 sympa-
thizers tried to encourage the over
whelmed wearers of the blue.
Harvard presented a team, the per-
sonnet of which was unchanged from
start to finish, and the players who
thus won glory for the crimson, were
almost as full of dash when the ref
eree's whistle sounded time as they
we're when it sounded for the opening
kick off. Yale, on the other hand,
required 26 men to meet the onslaught
Of the Harvard %plungers. Panic came
to Yale, and sympathy went out to
Yale from Harvard's thousands, when
the crack.quarterback, Desaulles, as a
result of a flying tackle, which pre-
vented another Harvard score, was
hurt. A blow on the head made him
unconscious. Later it became neces-
sary to remove him from the grounds
on a stretcher. AS the game pro-
crossed, WEYMOUTH, Chadwick, Ham
lin and Gould were compelled to re.
tire in favor of substitutes.
The game was as clearly played as
any ever witnessed on this field. In
no instance was smuggling or unneces-
sary roughness visible. Three penal
ties were imposed by the umpire, on
Harvard from the over anxiety of her
players. Yale lost ten yards of dis.
lance for holding, off side play and in.
reference. Harvard scored II of her
% points in the first half. In the sec
ond half Harvard resorted more often
to punting. Yale played much better
football in the second half and Har
ward had to be satisfied with a touch
down which failed Of a goal. Harvard
after the first five minutes of the
game, had possession of the ball the
greater part of the time. Her goa.
line was really in danger. Once
in the first half Yale landed the bal
on Harvard's 20 yard line, before Har
ward forced Descaulles to try for 9
goal from the field. He failed.
In the second half Yale, by the
f%iercest play, reached the nine yard
line only to lose the ball on downs
The crimsons' weighter line and last
err back field worked out a touchdown
in the second half but Cults coult
not make a goal against the wind.
General feeling of the Harvard
coaches and players was one of sur
prise at Yale's weakness and salts
faction at Harvard's strong offence
Coach Reid said after the game: ri
was due to the fighting spirit. Every
man on the team had it in him ant
they came to the scratch in grea1
shape: l had confidence and they
came up to my expectations. Every
man played the whole game for al
he was worth"
Captain Campbell said: '"The. game
spoke for itself. All 1 have to say il
that when the university backs up {
team as it has done this year we viii
always win"
After the game Harvard's players
were all in the highest spirits. No
a man was seriously injured, Kernan's
weak ankle was strained a little anG
Cults hurt his knee slightly, but the
rest of the men showed no effects be
yond a few scratches and black eyes
Yale's team was very desponden'
and took their defeat hard.
