Y university established her su-
premacy on the football field to-
day by defeating Harvard in the an
nual game in unmistakable style. When
time was called in the darkness of
early evening the score stood twenty
three to nothing, and Yale's shouting
thousands overwhelmed their victorious
heroes. while the Harvard participants,
with cheer after cheer, encouraged
their defeated but plucky fighters.
Nearly 10000 spectators witnessed the
great game under weather conditions
that could not have been improved
from the standpoint of the oRlookers.
1t was a triie too warm for the play
/, ers, but the temperature did not cause
the contestants to let UP a moment
during the game.
1t took the Yale men five minutes or
more to get their football stride. After
that the outcome never was in doubt
for the New Haven collegians demon
strated that IL was Yale's day. In
strength. in resources, generalship and
versatility the Yale men had big
advantage over their Harvard rivals.

A Seventy-three-yard Run.
The score was divided almost equally
between the halves, two touchdowns
coming in each period The Yale vic
tory was the result 81 straight football
rather than of briliia1cy. Three Of the
touchdowns came after heart breaking
plunges of the Yale men through Har-
Yards defense. Practically the only
play of the day was made when Met
calf, the Yale halfback, duplicated the
work of Captain Chadwick at Princeton
last week, and. leaping through a
yawning gap in HaTvard's line, ran
seventy three yards for the second
touchdown of the game He did not find
a clean field, but he was given superb
interference until he was able TO clear
all the Harvard tacklers except Mills.
whom he eluded by clever lodging.
Yales other three scores were made by
Chadwick, Kinney and Hogan, all of
whom were pushed over the line in
mass plays direct, and at the center of
Harvard's line.
Harvard Missed Two Chances.
only twice during the game did Har-
ward Pave a chance to score. Once By
magnificent line breaking the Cam
bridge players forced Yale back from
Els forty-yard line to a point within
eight yards of the goal lines. A fun
bic by Captain Herman. in a play that
started viCiOusly and gave promise of
success. was followed by a Yale stand
. which took the ball from Harvard on
eDe0wns.
In the second half Harvard succeeded
IN reaching Yale's twenty two-yard
line, but Yale here developed a stone
wall defense and kick was Harvard's
only hope Marshall tried for goal
from the field and missed by a yard.
Otherwise the play was almost entire

intervals the Cambridge players were
constantly on the defense. Now and
, then a Crimson brace would come, and
for the moment the Harvard enthusi-
asts were encouraged. but the strength
of Yale was too great and the specta-
tors early began to discuss the probabl
size of Yale's score.
Very little kicking was done as COM
pared with that witnessed in the Yale
Princeton game of a week ago, and
here Yale outclassed Harvard
Played a Clean Game.
The game was one of the cleanest
ever seen in New Haven. The officials
had an easy time of it, and but three
fines were inflicted. Harvard was twice
a sufferer for off-side play, and lost five
yards on each occasion. Yale's end

on one Yale kick, and ten yards were
promptly awarded to Harvard. While
the play was vicious there was hardly
a semblance Of smuggling. and the rivals
played with becoming regard for the
rules.
Four changes took place in YaIe's
lineup, while Harvard sent five of her
men TO the side to be replaced by
fresher men. No one was seriously

Physical Conditions Superb.
The physical condition of the two
. teams were apparently on even terms.
\ and Yale's victory was won because of
: all around superiority at the game
which superiority was in evidence from
start to finish. There was no particular
star except possibly in the persons of
Glass and Rockwell both of Yale.
Glass, with the others of Yale's for
wards, clearly outplayed their oppo-
nents, and Rockwell. YaIe's quarter
back. displayed cool-headedness and
generalship, which places him in the
front rank Of quarterbacks. The Har-
ward back field possibly was a faster
aggregation than that OF Yale, but
could not penetrate the Yale line
A summary OF the play shows how
completely Yale outplayed Harvard in
every department of .the game In the
first half Yale tackled five times for
q total distance of 149 yards and in
the second half three times for a to-
tai of ninety-nine yards. One Of the
three kicks in the last half went out
