HARVARD D0WNED BY FINAL
SCORE OF 6TO 0.
It Was a Desperate Battle From Start
to Finish-Has Had Few Equals
Since Two Universities Have Met
Yale champions of the Country
other Important College Games.

New Haven, Nov. 25.-Yales bright !.
blue banners wave triumphantly over
the city, the signal of another victory
over Harvard, the final score being
6 to O. The crimson went down to de- I
feat in a desperate battle, which in
football strategy and spectacular plays
has had few equals since the two uni
versities have met
To Yale passed the almost undis-
puted title of the college championship
of the country, clouded only by the
drawn no score contest with Princeton
a week ago A victory for the crimson
would have meant first honors beyond
question, for she had beaten the Carl
isle Indians, who last week wor. from
Minnesota, and who also had defeated
the University of Pennsylvania, the
conquerors of the nlversity of Michi-
gan.
For this reason, IL for no other, the
game on Yale field was OF unprece- |
denied Importance and to Yale once
more has come a victory which will
live forever in her athletic history.
It was a victory won through football
knowledge, superior play. almost I'M
erring accuracy in developing the pos
sibilities of the new rules and the
magnificent work of her players. The
score of a single touchdown and goal
repeats that of last year on Soldiers
field, and 1t adds to Yale's string OF
victories, only twice broken since
1897.
Harvard proved worthy foeman.
Her men repeatedly shone conspicu-
ously and there we're flashes of bril-
liancy as time and again her backs
broke through the line and her stall
wart guard, ourr, sent the ball twist
ing through the air on long punts.
Harvard was a true slow in execu-
ting her plays, which, as last year,
seemed to hinge on her great strength
on defense.
Yales success lay in playing Of
fensively at the opening, driving her
plays hard and taking advantage of
every opening when her opponents
had the ball. Interference, forward
passes and on side kicks were well
developed. Not once did Yale man
have to run down the field without aid

Yale played faster and rolled the Grim

It was only Harvard's stubborn con
test of every inch that kept the score
at the single figures.
