Cambridge. Mass. Nov. N.-HarvsrS struggled bravely against Yale today In their annual football match, but was de- feated by score of 16 to 0, principally because of her offense weakened and Yale's defense grew stronger as the Crtm- son players were within striking distance Of the Yale goal. Best Game of Season. Nearly 40.0O0 persons attended the game and while 1t was not as spectacuIar aa that between Princeton and Yale at New Haven week ago, better football was played and for the il. st half and for several minutes in the second, the score was small enough to make the result un- certain. In fact, after Harvard had shown sufficient speed to get twice inside 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 1k,Ooo voices who yelled Hold 'em! Hold 'en!'' the blue stood firm beneath it's own goal bar. twice capturing the ball there on downs. and in the third instance taking advantage of tumble by Harvard play- CTS. Tn the second half Harvard got within six inches of the Yale goal and yet could not score. s#H7
