Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 23.-Ven-
geance never sweeter and victory new
er more decisive came to Harvard
this afternoon when her eleven defeat
ed Yale % to 0. Three touch-downs,
two of which were converted into
goals, and a goal from the field of a
brilliant execution, were HarYard,s-
portion. For Yale there was nothing
but whitewash. The Harvard men
required about five minutes in which
to start their superb football machin-
cry. After that Yale was never in the
playing. In scrimmage tactics, line
plunging, punting and drop kicking.
the Yale men were completely out
classed. The Harvard players gave
also a demonstration of uniform play
that was remarkable, and as a result
the colors of the crimson waved in
Joy during the greater portion of the
two hours 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 1900 sympa-
thizers tried to encourage the over
whelmed wearers of the blue.
Harvard presented team, the per-
sonnet of which was unchanged from
start to finish, and the players who
won glory for the crimson, were al
most as full of dash when the referees
whistle sounded for the last time as
they were when it sounded for the
opening kickoff. Yale, on the other
hand, required sixteen men to meet
the onslaught of the Harvard plung
ers. Panic came to Yale and sympathy

A CIeverIy Played Game.
The game was as cleanly played as
any ever witnessed on this field. Not
one instance of smuggling or unneces-
sary roughness was visible. Three
penalties were imposed by Umpire Nc
Chung and Harvard from the over
anxiety of her players thrice lost ten
yards of distance for holding, off-side
play, and interference. Harvard scored
seventeen of her points in the first
half. In the second half Harvard re-
sorted to more punting. Yale played
much better football in the second
half. and Harvard had to be satisfied
with touchdown which failed or a
goal. Harvard, after the first five min
utes of the game, had possession OF
the ball the greater part of the time.
Her goal line was really never in dan
ger. Once in the first half Yale land

for a goal from the field. He failed
In the second half Yale, by the fierc-
est play, reached the enemy's 9-yard
line, only to lose the ball on downs.
The crimson's weightier line and
faster back field worked out the touch
down the second half, but Cults could
not make the goal against the wind.
In the Locker building, after the
game, Harvard's players were all in
the highest spirits. Not a man was
seriously injured Kernan's weak an
kle was strained a little and Cults
hurt his knee slightly, but the rest
of the men showed no effects beyond
few scratches and black eyes.
Yale Badly Broken Up.
The Yale team was very respondent
and took their defeat hard. There
were many who limped badly. De-
Saulles was the worst injured. He was
kicked on the head and it was thought
at first that he had conclusion of the
brain.
The Harvard students. after their
celebration at the field marched
through the square and around the
college yard, cheering and singing. Red
fire was burned on every side and fire.

started for Boston to finish their DEM
