OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. ga miracle
of American football all but came to
pass in the stadium yesterday afternoon.
Harvard, odds against her febrile to
r.; prey alike Of Pennsylvania and to
fears that seemed all too well supported
in the season Of misdeaIs for that good
warrior, "Bill' Reid, Harvard, when the
hour came, played exactly as good foot
ball as this mighty team Of Yale's, had
victory fleeing just before it along two
thirds Of the way and lost, to 0, only
through lone slip in one of the "funda-
mentals" after possession of all the rest
of them had startled the greatest crowd
that ever saw an athletic event in this
country into half incredulous enthusiasm
beyond even the reinless custom of foot
ball. 1T d Harvard man, galloping into
the game new and nervous in the second
half, hadn't let punted ball bound from
his arms into those of Yale, it is moral
certainty that the score Of this match
would have been no score at all-0 to O..
AS it IS, Yale got the only touchdown
and the match lines up in history in the
goodIy company Of those others where
Harvard fought gameIy,1 surprised her
thousands of admirers" found herself at
|l1 o'clock and lost the game at 4.
It was don" Nichols, off and on a
Harvard regular, who muffed the kick
that put Yale where hard striking would
give the game. During the second half
lie replaced Foster at left halfbackA Har-
ward had been tearing the Yale I'm p
smithereons with the neyer-deadlier bsi0-
dem. In straight series Of advances
she had just covered so yards without
loss save for an otfside penalty. There
were many symptoms Of her being able
To do it again. But there came u double
exchange Of punts. TO Nichols, just
that moment entered to replace Foster
at left halfback, fell the receiving OF it.
The bah pumped straight at him as he
stood 81 yards from the Harvard goal,
but in his eagerness he tried to run be-
fore making sure that the catch was
clean. 1t slipped through, shot from his
breast 60 the ground and there was
Shelvin, the Yale captain, lying fiat upon
tie. Yale's ball on Harvard's 32-yard line,
and the game not long to 90. SITS a
score now ii ever they were saying
along the slopes, where the crimson had
suddenly ceased waving, and the stands
Of Yale were brizzing like demented bum
blehees. The Yale team lifted together
AZ ii had not done before. Two tries
brought first down, and the third still
another. Harvard, fighting now TO stop
the flooding and desperate zeal Of an
mbeaten team, fell back yard at a
| time.
Inside the 15-yard line big Brill, the
head Of Haryard's arTowy tandem
through most Of the game, was called
from the field, although seemingly vigor-
Gus still. Montgomery, q fresh man, took
his place, but Yale swept over the Grim.
son barrier with apparently weakened
Opposition. From the 18th yard to the
goal line was three downs. Forbes Of
Dalton was the player who carried the
ball across Tor this significant touch
down. Lydig Hoyt kicked it out and
then nailed the touchdown with the goal
that dropped the curtain on a scene
that was all incongrnity to the Cam
bridge vision.
