New Haven, Nov. 23.-In the pres
ence of $4,000 spectators, Yale estab-
iished the supremacy in the east yes
terday afternoon by defeating Harvard
in unmistakable style. When time
was called the score stood % to 0, and
Yales shouting thousands over
whelmed the victorious heroes, while
Harvard partisans, with cheer after
cheer, encouraged their defeated but
plucky fighters.
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
demonstrated it was Yale's day. In
strength, resources, generalship and
versatility the Yale men had a big ad-
vantage over Harvard.
Practically the only open play was
when Metcalf, the Yale halfback, du-
plicated the work of Captain Chad
wick at Princeton last week, and
leaping through a gap in Harvards
down Of the game. Yale's other
three scores were made by Chadwick,
Kinney and Hogan, all of whom were
pushed over the line, in mass plays di-
rected at the center of Harvard's line.
Only twice during the game did
by magnificent line breaking the Cam
bridge players forced Yale back from
Ellis 40-yard line to a point within
eight yards of the goal line. A tumble
by Captain Kearnan in a play that
started viciOusly and gave promise Of
which took the ball from Harvard on
downs. In the second half Harvard
succeeded in reaching Yale's 22-yard
line, but Yale here developed a stone
wall defense and kick was Harvard's
only hope. Marshall tried for a goal
but missed.
Illinois Downs Purple.
Chicago, Nov. 23-The university of
Illinois football team wiped out last
years defeat here yesterday by down
ing Northwestern II to 0. All the
scoring was done in the second half,
but hard luck and Baird's excellent
kicking kept the final count as low as
it was. Northwestern was on the defen-
sive throughout the game, and in the
first half, unfortunate fumbling
men to cross the goal line. North
western played desperately to the end
and particularly in the first half put
up a strong game defensively.
Held to a nothing score in the first
half, Illinois became desperate in the
second and literally ran over the
Evanston players and piled up three
touchdoWns in rapid succession. Cook
converted two of these touchdowns
into goals and ran the total to seven
teen points.
Another Big Score for Michigan.
Ann Arbor Nov 23.-Michigan de-
feated Oberlin yesterday afternoon, 63
to O.. Oberlin contested the game
fiercely and three times was within
scoring distance of Michigan's goal.
