Yale and Harvard on Edge With Yale Still Favorite-- hiEe Thompson in the South. K.


 scored in a Harvard-Yale football game. In the turbulent battle of 1894, Yale won 12 to 4, and since then the loser has drawn zeros in the seven games played, while the winner has not made less than 16 points. Tn two of the seven games played since the healing of the breach neither side scored. One-sided scores have been 8 feature of Harvard-Y aie games in re- cent years. Tn the last twenty years seventeen games have been played of which Yale has won twelve. The total points scored in the seventeen games are: Yale, 234; Harvard, 69. The times when Yale's goal line has been crossed by sustained rushing have been few and far between. Most of the points have been the result of long run or two, field goals and blocked kicks-not steady line hammering and forcing back of the Yale eleven. Taken all ill all, Yale's defence has been the stanchest and most consistent In the country.
 The eleven points that Princeton made against Yale last year were due to long run following blocked kick, and field goal. The five points made by the Tigers in 1902 and the five made in 1900 were due to field goals Princeton gained more ground than Yale in the game of 1899. but siS of her eleven points came after a long end run by Reiter, and the other five were due to Poe's drop kick. The six points made by Princeton in 1898 were due to Poe's long run. Tn 1896 Prince ton rushed Yale up and down the fieI' in a scandalous manner and ridd'ed the Eli defence more than any other team ever has done. Cofumbia's SCOT ing against Yale was the result of Weekes's long runs and a field goal West Points scores against the Blue were due to long runs and blocked kicks s. ,.ly
 While indulging in the somewhat reckless prophecies of what Yale is going to do to Harvard tomorrow 1t should be horne in mind that Har- yards offence has made more trouble for Yale's defence than any other at- tack. Last year., although shut our, Harvard gained good deal of ground through the Yale line, and in 1901 the Crimson tore the Blues defence to shreds. Tn 1902, when the Crimson was smothered. she rushed the ball over good bit of ground in the early. part of the game. In one of the O to 0 games Harvard, using Shirley Ellis on nearly every push, forced Yale clear to her goal line. but could not rush it over. Tn 1898 Harvard again rushed the Ellis up and down the field at will. All of which shows the Harvard attack is not tol he trided with and Is better for the Yale game than at any other time of the year. The scores of Har- ward Yale games since 1893 are as fol lows. .s, . 1SS3--Yale g. Harvard 2.
