Harvard was a trifle slow In exc.
cutting her plays, which, as last year.
seemed to hinge on her greatest
strength Of defense, while Yale was
quick on everything
Her men were active and fierce.
fale's success was in playing offen.
slVely at every opportunity, driving
her plays hard and taking advantage
OIL every opening when her opponents
had the ball.
Yalc's Fine Interference.
Interference for the runner, the
forward behind line pass the on-side
KICKS were all we'll developed. Not
once did a Yale man have to run
down the field without assistance.
AS the game was nearing It's close,
Yale played faster and rolled the
crimson line into a heavy tangle.
1T was Harvard's stubborn contest
of every inch of her own ground that
Kept the score at the single figure.
How the Touchdown Was Made.
The touchdown was brought about
Dy sensational play. Yale had tho
Dali on Harvards 25-yard line. Jones
called his signals for a kicking for
nation. Elder dropped back to the
2a-yard line with his hands spread.
'Arperfect pass from Hokenberger
sent the ball into his hands and
Veeder like flash, started at right
angles and hurled the ball over the
heads Of Harvard's men for a 30.yard
PASS to knot Of players, who, as
" drawn by a magnet, had jumped
INTO one little knot, and up from the
midst leaped Forbes, who caught the
pull and instantly dropped on the
4.yard line.
Up rose Yale with cries for a
touchdown, while the crimson side
Vas hushed. Roome, who replaced
hnox was sent to smash the GRIM
son line. His first try at Harvard's
line was stopped, and the next time
ne was shot over with the whole
team dragging and pushing him.
That four yards showed what Yale
could do when she was hungry for
tne score which was SO close at hand.
'Ehe kicking Of goal was an easy
thing for Yeeder
With the score 6 to 0 Harvard was
compelled to change her style of at.
tack,. and Burr was called upon to
put the ball out of danger with his
toe. The first part of the second
half resolved itself into puntlng be.
tween Biirr and Veeder.
Outcome is Certain.
From then on the outcome seemed
certain. Yale, with new players, put
fresh life into her team and the last
Ave minutes of the half there was a
march down the field.
This began with Fosters tumble.
which Forbes took advantage Of.
From then on 1t was case of smash
Ing into the Harvard line until Park
was replaced by Frazer, which show.
cd that Yale had found the weak
place.
Rush after rush swept the Harvard
team back forciby until the bail
tasted on her 15.yarl line, Yale was
moving like a batterlng ram and an.
alter touchdown apparently was pre-
NSntcd by the referees whistle end
Ing the game.
