New Haven, Conn, Nov. 22.-Yale
University established her supremacy
in the East on Yale field this after
noon by defeating Harvard in the an
nual game in unmistakable style.
When time was called in the dark
stood % to 0, and Yale's shouting
thousands overwhelmed their victori-
Gus heroes, while Harvard partisans,
with cheer after cheer, encouraged
their defeated, but plucky, fighters.
Nearly 10000 spectators witnessed the
great game, under weather conditions
that could not be improved, from the
standpoint of the onlookers. 1t was a
trifle too warm for the players, but the
temperature did not cause the contest
ants 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 was never in doubt,
for the New Haven collegians demon
strated that it was Yale's day. In
strength, in resources, generalship and
versatility the Yale men had big ad-
vantage over their Harvard rivals.
Four times Harvard's goal line was
crossed for Yale touch-downs. Three
of the touch-downs were converted in
to goals. Yale's play was consistent
throughout and of the highest order.
Was Hard, Fast Playing.
The scoring was divided almost
equally between the halves, two
touch-downs coming in each period.
The Yale victory was the result rather
of straight football than of
spectacular brilliancy. Three of the
touch-downs came after plunges OF the
Yale men through Harvard's defense.
Practically the only open play of the
day was witnessed when Metcalf, the
Yale half back, duplicated the work of
Capt Chadwick at Princeton last week,
and leaping through a yawning gap
in Harvard's line, ran twenty-seven
yards for the second touchdown of the
game. He did not find clear field,
but he was given superb interference
until he was able to clear all Harvard
tacklers except Mills, whom he eluded
by clever lodging

Yale's three other scores were made
by Chadwick, Kinney and Hogan, all
of whom were pushed over the line, in
mass plays directed at the center OF
Harvard's line.
Harvard Had One Chance.
Only twice during the game did
Harvard have a chance to score. Once
by magnificent line breaking, the
Cambridge players forced Yale back
from Eli's forty-yard line to point
within eight yards Of the goal line. A
tumble by Capt. Herman, in play
that started viciously and gave prom
Use of success, was followed by a Yale
stand, which took the ball from Har-
ward on downs. In the second
half Harvard succeeded in reaching
Yale's 22-yard line but Yale here de-
veloped a stone-wall defense, and a
kick was Harvard's only hope. Mar
shall tried for goal from the field,
and missed. Otherwise the play was
almost entirely in Harvard's territory,
and the Yale advance was consequent.
Except at long intervals, the Cam
bridge players were constantly on the
defense. Now and then a crimson
brace would come, and for the moment
the Harvard enthusiasts were encour-
aged, but the strength of Yale was too
great, and the spectators early began
to discuss the probable size of Yale's
score.
The game was one of the cleanest
ever seen in New Haven,
