NEW HAVEN, Nov. % Outplayed at
every point. Harvard University's football
eleven went down to defeat on Yale Field
this afternoon by score of % to o. The
result was entirely unexpected, so far a.
the Crimson players and their friends were
concerned, for reports from Cambridge
had been so expressive Of confidence that
the thousands of Harvard men and women
who gathered in the great stands had been
led TO believe that their team surely would
win. In fact there WAS so-puG. Harvard

thousands Of dollars brought here from
Boston and Cambridge were wagered
against Yale money a; odds Of 10 to on
Yale. Yale men. however. took all the
money they could find and ght they are
burning it up in the public houses and in
other ways.
Yale's eleven proved vastly superior
10 Harvard's in every way. The Yals
rush line was not only impregnable in
defence. but the forwards played such Q
fierce. aggressive game when Harvard
was trying 10 make ground that the Cam
bridge formations were battered to pieces
in; tlle HAN wi-+-tAe-
ball was dragged backward for a loss.
In these operations the gigantic Glass
proved a tower of strength. He opened
up holes in Harvard's line through which
the Yale backs were tossed again and again.
while in broken fields the Syracuse wonder
did some phenomenal tackling which made
the Harvard players look upon him In
amazement.
GLASS; performance showed conciusively
that II he had been disqualified on the al
legged charge Of professionalism Yales
team would have been weakened mat erially,
for the big man not only played remark
able game himself. but his ginger filed the
others with snap and dash, which, by the
way, was Yale's chief characteristic from
start to finish When Glass was no. in the
thick Of the fray ,Goss, Kinney, Hogan ard
Shevlin were. In other words, the ent ire
rush line worked like a charm, there being
few mist axes and a concentration Of act ion
that soon spread CONSERVATION in Harvard's
ranks.
Coupled with Yales great line were her
swiftly moving backs. who cut the Cam
bridge defence into ribbons time and again
and gained ground until the thing became
monotonous Football experts who had
in mind Yale teams Of years gone by said
tonight that this eleven was equal TO the
strongest ever turned oft al Yale Field and
was entitled to the Intercollegiate cham
pionship beyond the que of a doubt.
Yale's first touch DOWN was made after
nine minutes of play through a series OF
short, sharp. brilliant attacks directed at
both wings. which eliminated in Chadwick.
the Yale captain, taking the ball over the
line for score. Had it not leen for a
muffed punt by Herman. the Harvard cap
tain, near the middle of the field, this assault
probably would have been deferred for
some time. But when Rockwell made q
quarter back kick and Herman dropped the
ball out of his arms. Ya.e was in position
10 drive right down the chalk lines TO the
objective point. Bowman kicked the goal,
a. he did one other later on, with consuu-
mate ease. Yale's second touchdown was
made not long afterward. when Metcalf
was thrown through a hole in the Harvard
line made 10y Glass and ran sixty-fve yards
down the field for a touchdown, dodging
the only Harvard tacker, c. Marshall, with
ridiculous ease. This play was identical
with the two made by Yale against Prince
ton a week ago, when holes were made In
the Tigers lines and Chadwick was hurled
bodily through them to places where.
barring the presence of a single opponent.
he had a clear field.
Yale is the only college team this ear
that has perfected thi, particular play 70
that il has turned out to be prartica,
unstoppable. Many have contended that
there must bc holding in the line in order
to make the holes for tho runner. But to
close observers to-day II appeared that 1t
was simply case Of opening up the line
in the good old-fashioncl way, although
il was done by men whp stand h al ard
shoulders above any centr, trio In America
at the present time. Glass and Goss worked
in superb harmony with Holt in this respect
and HarNards guards, together with ths
centre. were IKE chat before the wind.
With the score ~ to al the end of the
first half. Harvard's chances for winning
were anything hut bright. and no sooner
had the second half started than 1t was
apparent to every impartial spect ator that
the Crimson eleven was sadly outclassed.
Vale's play in every respect improved in
marked degree, the formations being more
effective than in the fir, half aud the whole
combination working with fcrceness
and A. the same time a smoothness that
made Harvard look decidedly ama'eurish,
Yale's third touchdown was the result Of

which followed several fairly good runs
produced by holes in the line. Chadwick
made the third score and Metcalf kicked
