New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 19.-Yale
earned a victory which in every way
was satisfactory to her friends, over
her old time rival, Harvard, in the
nresence of over $4,000 spectators on
vale field this afternoon, the final score
being p to 0, the same as that in
her victory over Princeton week ago.
The game was one in which the men
in blue proved the superiors of a
brawnier set of opponents both in the
art of offense and defense. in the
first place through better team work
with a few simple formations, and in
the second instance, though her ability
to stop or break up any play whether
of a plunging character against her
line or used as a subterfuge to turn
her TANKS. Yale was not called upon
to use a formation which had not been
shown in her games of the entire sea-
son and at no time was there any doubt
of the outcome.
Courage With Success.
AS the Yale men fought their way
to Harvard's goal line they knew they
were bound to win. and the courage
which came with this knowledge gave
them more power on the attack. Har-
ward placed some reliance on plays
which were intended to gain ground
by runs around the end and in nearly
every instance these failed. The pre-
cision with which Yale moved each
play, united action of the backs with
the linesmen, stamped Capt. Hogans
team as one of the most remarkable
which ever went on field to uphold
the glory of the blue.
To Harvard. however, which sent
here a team of unknown quality, must
be given the credit of playing a won
derful game on the defense and of
showing at times in the second half
flashes of inherent brilliancy on the
offense.
No ffOuaU
The game itself as whole was
somewhat tedious to the immense
throng of spectators. 1t was almost
devoid of sensational or spectacular
plays, and its one brilliant incident was
the blocking of Sperry's punt in the
second half which brought Yale's Sec
ond touchdown. Even this was bet
ter appreciated by football players
themselves than the spectators. for it
was truly remarkable thing for Kin
ney and Trip to break through Har-
wards protective line. for the punter
and to block the ball, and that Bloom
er another tackle, should get it many
yards behind Harvard's line. 1t illus
trated the point that stands out prom
1nently that Yale knew how to play
and to take advantage of every chance
10 get the ball when Harvard was in
the offensive.
