New Haven, Conn, Nov. 22.-Yale
University established her, supremacy in
the East on Yale field this afternoon by
defeating Harvard in the annual game
called in the darkness of the early even
ing the score stood % to 0. and Yale's
shouting thousands overwhelmed their
victorious heroes while Harvard partisans
with cheer after cheer encouraged their
defeated but plucky fighters.
Nearly thirty thousand spectators wit
messed the great game. under weather
conditions that could not be improved
from the standpoint of the onlookers.
1t was a trife too warm for the players,
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 demonstrated
that it was Yale's day. In strength, in
resources, generalship and versatility,
the Yale men had big advantage over
their Harvard rivals. Four times Har-
wards goal line was crossed for Yale
touchdowns. Three of the touchdowns
were converted into goals. Yales play
was consistent throughout and of the
highest order.
The scoring was divided almost equally
between the halves, two touchdowns
coming in each period. The Yale victory
was the result rather of straight foot
ball than of spectacular brillancy. Three
of the touchdowns came after heart
breaking plunges of the Yale men through
Harvard's defence. Practically the only
play of the day was witnessed when
Metcalf, the Yale half back, duplicated
the work of aptain Chadwick at Prince
ton last week, and leaping through a
yawning gap in Harvard's line ran
twenty-seYen yards for the second touch
down of the game. He did not find a
clear field. but he was given superb in
terference until he was able to clear ali
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 di-
rected at the center of Harvards line.
Only twice during the game did Har-
Ndrd nave cnanCc 10 score. Once by
magnificent line breaking the Cambridge
players forced Yale back from Eli forty
yard line to a point within eight yards
of the goal line. A tumble by Captain
Herman in a play that started viciously
and gave promise of success was follow
ed By a Yale stand, which took the ball
from Harvard on downs. In the second
half Harvard succeeded in reaching
Yales twenty-two- yard line. but Yale
here developed a stone wall defence and
kick was Harvard's only hope. Mar
shall tried for a goal from the field, and
missed by yards. Otherwise the play
was almost entirely in Harvard's terri
tory and the Yale advance was con-
sistent. Except at long intervals the
Cambridge players were constantly on
the defence. Now and then crimson
brace would come, and for the moment
the Harvard enthusiasts were encouraged
but the strength of Yale was too great
and the spectators early began to dis
cuss the probable size of Yales score
The game was one of the cleanest ever
seen in New Haven.
