YALE'S FOOTBALL TRIUMPH
Continued from farrt page.


both teams were frequently held for downs III
the progress of the match. To sum up each
eleven seemed to be able to make several marches
of thirty-hve to forty yards against the other'

course was employed to start things moving
in orthodox fashion the first demonstration
came from the Harvard skyscraping penches'

strength came they began TO sit up and take
notice In a few minutes more they were roar

they began to hope actually for victory and
the warriors down there below in the yellow
brown arena fattered them to the very finish
of as hard fought match was ever ham
mered out in view of football crowd.
HARVARD BEST INDIVIDUALLY.
The plain truth of it is that Harvard exhib-
tied players that were individually the superiors
of Yale They did not know the game so well
and were not welded into fine machine, but
take them man for man, they superior to
the they had to meet Yale had no such
ground gamers as Squires and Brill both proved
themselves to be. Each one of these big tackles
waded yard after yard through the Yale line
Brill in particular. Harvard's best ground
gamer. The way in which ne bent his shoul-
ders and strode through the opposition with
half the Yale team hanging on his back in a
vain effort TO drag him to earth reminded one
OF Hogan in his paImiest days. Certainly no
such tackle ground gaining has been seen on
any gridiron this season.
One single type of play helped Harvard gain
many a valuable yard. This was the fake tan
dem. 1t is not new play. Harvard has used
1t before this season, and so have other teams.
But it worked like charm to-day. 1t was
usually the toWheaded giant Squires who fell
hack as If TO head a crashing tandem drive
through the centre. This he did. with the single
rather important exception that the ball was
not carried in the tandem at all The tandem
went through the line all right but the ball
went round the end in the hands of one of the
halfbacks. Foster usually. Harvard set off this
game. and it went with whoop from the start.
Not until the second half was well on its way
did Yale appear to master it so well that she
was not TO be deceived by it further
In still another particular did Harvard sur
prise her warmest admirers, namely in her
handling of the ball With the single caIarnitous
exception of that disastrous 1nuffed punt, the
Crimson's handling of the elusive pigskin
was welinigh perfect. Occasionally there
was a slovenly pass from Parker to Burr
for punt but the kicker always recovered
himself admirably, and never was the punt
blocked though, forsooth there were one or two
occasions when it came perilousIy near being
To Haryards big left guard. by the way should
go a lot of credit for his bootng of the ball He
gel off kicks that always respectable
gained many precious yards by outpunting
Roome. and never once got ratified. though he
had several excuses for losing his head had he
been disposed.
TWO UNPLEASANT INCIDENTS.
In the main. the game was cleanly played and
there seemed to be the best Of personal feeling
between the two teams. though both fought as
6ercely as they fight who have determined to give
the last ounce of power that In them lies. There
Were however two unpleasant incidents One
occurred in the second half when Wendell and
Morse emerged from scrimmage more or less
entangle1- From the Olympian heights of the
press benches Cwhere the air was extremely
rarehed) It looked as if Wendell were decidedly
more to blame than Morse. but Dashiel the
umpire, took sides with the Harvard man and
ruled Morse out of the game. Hoyt taking his
place 1t could hardly be called sugging, though
st probably came under the head OF unneces-
sarfiy rough play.
The other instance plainly nothing but an
accident, though hundreds Of spectators
on the Harvard side of the field were unduiy
ruick TO hiss. The ball was well down in Yale
territory in the middle of the first half when
Roou1e punted. The ball fell into Burr's hands
at yale's 40-yard line Quill. the old Amherst
play fulIbaek in place of Finn, the little chap
Prfnceton's line dashed hercely on the Harvard
guard, who. as he caught the ball. fell back
ward face up. Quilts speed carried him clear
over the fallen player, and as he passed the
Yale mans heavy shoe hit the guard a severe
rap on the head. Burr was some minutes in the
care Of trainer before he could get into the
game again.
MONSTER CROWD SEES GAME
II was a splendid crowd that came out to see
Harvards splendid defeat There were more
persons present than two years ago, because
there were more seats for them. additional tenn
perary stands having been erected at the north
or open end of the huge horseshoe. All told there
were forty-three thousand seats in the stadium
and forty-three thousand persons occupied them
There seems be limit to the puhlic's appe-
tite for football. No such outpouring ever occu-
pied seats at an athletic contest in this country
as saw to-day's match. In fact IL is safe to
saw that the multitude was the largest that
