SOLDIERS FIELD, Cambridge, Mass,
Nov. 23-Vengeance was never sWeeter
and victory never more decisive than that
which came to Harvard this afternoon
when her eleven defeated Yale u TO u
Three touchdowns two OF which We're
converted into goals, and goal from the
field of brilliant execution were Harvard S
portion For Yale there was nothing but
a whitewash. The Harvard men required
about five minutes in which to start their
superb football machinery. After that
Yale was never in the playing. In scrim-
mage tactics, line plunging, hurdling ana
skirting, punting and drop kicking the
Yale men were completely outclassed. The
Harvard players gave also demonstra-
ton of uniform play that was remarka-
Bile. and as a result the colors of the
crimson waved in delir1ous JOY during
the greater portion of the two hours occu-
pied by the contest.
Thirty-six thousand spectators, great
er number than ever before gathered
at a football game, watched the crimson
battle from the mammoth stands. Three
quarters of the enormous crowd cheered
Harvard, while 5000 sympathizers tried
to encourage the overwhelmed wearers OF
the blue.
Harvard presented a team the personnel
of which was unchanged from start to
fnish and the players who thus won
glory for the crimson were almost as
full of dash when the referees whistle
sounded for the last time as they were
when it sounded for the opening kickoff
De SauIIes Laid Out.
Yale, on the other hand required six
teen men to meet the onslaught of the
Harvard plungers. Panic came to Yale
and sympathy went out to Yale from the
Harvard thousands when the crack quar-
terback, DeSaul' IS, as result of fly
ing tackle, VIII 5ch prevented another Har-
ward score, was hurt. A blow ON the head
made him unconscious. Later it became
necessary to remove him from the ground
on a stretcher. AS the game progressed
Weymouth, Chadwick, Hamlin and Gould
were compelled to retire in favor OF sub
Stitutes
The game was as cleanly played as any
ever witnessed on this field. Not one in
stance of slugging or unnecessary rough
ness was visible. Three penalties were
imposed by Umpire McClung, and Har-
ward. from the over-anxiety of fAar play
ers, thrice lost 10 yards of distance for
holding, off-side play and interference
Harvard scored II of her % points in the
first half In the second half Harvard
resorted more often to punting. Yale
played much better football in the second
half and Harvard had to be satisfied
with touchdown which failed of a goal
Harvard Easily Superior.
Harvard, after the first five minutes OF
the game, had possession of the ball the
greater portion of the time. Her goal
line was really never in danger. Once
IN the first half Yale landed the ball on
Harvard's 2O-yard line where Harvard
forced De Saulles to try for goal from
the field. He failed. In the second half
Yale, by the fercest play, reached the
Vineyard line only to lose the bali on
downs
The Crimson's weightier line and faster
back field worked out the touchdown in
the second half, but Cults could not
make the goal against the wind.
The general feeling of the Harvard
coaches and players was one of surprise
at Yales weakness and satisfaction at
Harvards strong offense Coach Reid
said after the game:
'It was due to the fighting spirit.
