The Game Was at First in roubt and the De.
feat Was Bitter.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 21.-Harvard
struggled bravely against Yale today in
their annual football match, but was de-
feated by score of 16 to 0, principally
because her force weakened and Yales de-
tense grew stronger as the Crimson play
ers were within striking distance of the
Yale goal.
Nearly 10000 persons watched the game,
and while 1t was not as spectacular as that
between Princeton and Yale. at New
Haven week ago. better football was
played and for the first half and for sew
eral minutes in the second. the score was
small enough to make the result uncer-
tam. In fact, after Harvard had shown
sufficient speed to get twice inside of
Yale's five yard line in the first half, her
supporters were well nigh convinced that
the team would not only score. but win
the game. The Yale defense proved too
strong, however, and backed by $4,000
voices who yelled Hold EN-" the Blue
line stood firm beneath it's own goal bar,
twice capturing the ball there on downs
and in the third instance taking advant-
age of a tumble by a Harvard player
in the second half Harvard got within six
inches of the Yale goal and yet could not
score.
The defeat. under these circumstances
was exceedingly bitter for the Crimson
as the fast play of the team beyond the
Yale ten and fifteen yard line surprised
the Harvard supporters and proved one of
the features of the game.
There was some fumbling and several
blocked kicks, one of the Yaye scores be-
ing directly due to the latter. There were
several end runs for Is and 25 yards, but
as rule the play especially so far as
Harvard was concerned. was a series of
fierce line plunges for short gains of one,
two and three yards.
The kicking was below the average, es-
peclally on Harvard's part. and was
great disappointment to the Crimson sup
porters.
Mitchell for Yale, covered 39S yards on
IA kicks, while Lemoyne and Nichols, of
Harvard covered 220 yards on eight
Kicks. In rushing, Harvard had slightly
the better of it, gaining 21S yards on
sixty eight rushes, while Yale made $50
yards on forty-seven rushes, Yale ran
back kicks for sixty-three yards and Har-
ward for 1O2 yards. Yale had eight first
downs and Harvard, twenty. Yale was
penalized six times for sixty-fve yards
and Harvard three times for forty yards.
Score. Yale 16, Harvard 0.

saulting negro with a knife
When Boone went on the witness stand in
his own behalf he said he was endeavor-
ing to persuade his father to return
home with him when the row occurred.
In answer to a question of the solicitor as
to why his father did not go with him,
the young man made the plain bold state
ment that ''his father thought more of a
negro than he did of his own children,
and that he spent more money on negroes
than he did on his family. The solicitor
endeavored to get the man to say that
he didn't mean what he said about his
father, but young Boone bitterly reiter-
ated his former statement. The young
man was acquitted.
