0. after putting up one of the finest
fights ever seen by followers Of the
Crimson.
Harvard was perhaps as great in de-
feat as was Yale III victory. and not
soul in the great oval could understand
after the game vas over, why Yale
ruled to 1 favorite.
At the end Of the first half the root
ers for the Crimson were beginning 70

able to make much Roadway against the
massive Harvard line and the Yale de-
Tense seemed a bit wobbly when the
heavy guns OF the Harvard tandem
plavs opened UP. The wavers OF red
flags. and the fair wearers OF red chry-
santhemurns, who had filed into the n
closure TO pray remained 20 cheer ana
hope. And when about the middle OF
the second half Harvard had rushed
the ball we'll down into Yale territory,
cheering and hoping waxed great. But
the tide turned.

would make at least three touchdowns.
But things like this must be at every
famous victory.
It is all over now. The papers will
no longer be RECALLED with the daily
menu OF Harvard squad, and II. as IS
strongly suspected. the members Of said
squad devoured too much shredded
