The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-11-23

acy in the East on Yale field this af- ternoon by defeating Harvard in the annual game in unmistakable style. When time was called in the darkness of early evening the score stood g to o. and Yale's shouting thousands overwhelmed the victorious heroes. while Harvard par tisans with cheer after cheer encouraged their defeated but plucky fighters.
 Nearly 5000 spectators witnessed the great game under weather conditions that could not be improved from the stand point of the onlookers. It was. a triae too warm for the players. but the tenn perature did not cause the contestants to let up a moment during the game.
 It 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 coilegians demon strated that 1t was Yale's day. In strength, in resource, generalship and versatility, the Yale men had a big ad- vantage oyer their rivals. Four times Harvard's goal lines were crossed for touchdowns. Three of the touchdowns were converted into goals. Yale's play WaS COAtcA6SGAb th&Vu6hOuS DAA SA tAe first order.
 Straight Football.
 The scoring was divided almost equally suetween the halves. two touchdowns coming in each period. The Yale victory was the result rather of straight football than of spectacular brilliancy. Three of the touchdowns came after heartbreaking plunges of the Yale men through liar wards defense.
 Practically the only open play of the day was witnessed when Metcalf, the Yale haifback. duplicated the work of Captain Chadwick at Princeton last week and cleaving through yawning gap in Harvard's lines, ran seventy-three 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 ex- cept Mills, whom he eiuded by clever lodging.
 Yale's other three scores were made by Chadwick, Kinney and Hogan, all of whom were pushed over the line in mass plays directed at the center or Harvard's line. 3tase.s
 Only twice during the game did Har- ward have a chance to score. Once by magnificent line bucking the Cambridge players forced Yale back from its forty yard line to a point within eight yards of the goal line. A tumble by Captain Herman in play that started vigorously and gave promise of success was fol- lowed by Yale stand which took the ball from Harvard on downs.
 A Stonewall Defense.
 In the second half Harvard succeeded in reaching Yale's twenty-two yard line. but Yale here developed stone wall defence and a kick was Harvards only hope. Marshall tried for goal from the field ard missed. Otherwise the play was almost entirely in Harvards terri tory and the Yale advance was consist ente Except at long intervals the Camb- ridge players were constantly on the defense. Now and then a Harvard brace would come and for the moment the Har- ward enthusiasts were encouraged. But the strength of Yale was too great and the spectators early began to discuss the probable size of Yale's score.
 There was very little kicking done as compared with that witnessed in the Yale-Princeton game of a week ago, and here Yale outclassed Harvard.
 The game was one of the cleanest ever seen in New Haven. Tn officials had an easy time of it and but three penalties were assessed. Harvard was twice a sufferer for off-side play and lost five yards on each occasion. Gales's end rush, Sheivin was fagrantly off-side on one Yale kick and ten yards were prompt ly awarded to Harvard. While the play was vicious, there was hardly a semb- lance of slugging and the rivals played with becoming regard for the rules.
 Four changes took place in Yales line up. while Harvard sent five of her cham pions to the side, to be replaced by fresh- CT men. No one was seriously hurt.
 Goss's Painful Injury.
 Goss. Yaie's right guard. sustained the most painful injury in the shape of an accidental kick on the hand. The phys icaI condition of the two teams was ap- parently on even terms and Yale's vic tory was won because of all-round supe- riority at the game which was in evi- dence 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 forward. clearly out played their opponents and Rockwell, Yale's quarterback. displayed cooihead- edness and generalship which places him in the front rank of quarterbacks. The Harvard back field possibly vas a faster aggregation than those of Yale. but they could not penetrate the Yale line.
 A summary of the play shows how com pletely Yale outplayed Harvard in every department of the game. In the first half Yale kicked five times for a total distance of 149 yards and in the second half three times for a total of 99 yards One of the three kicks in the last half went out of bounds, for scarcely any gain, so that the two good kicks by Yale in this half averaged nearly 50 yards each.
 Yale i1 the first half rushed total dis tance of 165 yards during which she had nine first downs. In the second Yale rushed total of PIP yards. during which she had twenty-one first downs. Yale's fumbles counted for little.
 As for the work of the Harvard team in the first half she kicked three times for a total distance of l07 yards and in the second half five times for a total of 1SO yards. Harvard rushed the ball in scrimmages 70 yards in the first half, and a scant 1S in the second. Harvard had Il first downs in the first half but only two in the second.
 Harvard Fumbles Costly.
 The fumbles of the Harvard team proved very costly. five being made in the first half and one of them on Yales eight yard line. where Harvard had a good chance to score.
 Harvard played far stronger game in the first half than in the second, for at no time ip the last half of the time was the defeated team inside of Yale's 22-
