are graduates of Harvard. I believe
that the feeling at both Yale and Har-
ward is that they play together, no mat

How Game Was Played. D..
Yale won the toss and chose to de.
fend the north goal, being thus aided
a trife by the wind. Burr sent the
oval spinning to Tad Jones on the
blues 5-yard line and the game was
on, Yale felt out the crimson line but
failed to find an opening, and veeder
kicked. The punt was partially blocked
but rolled to the middle Of the field
before a Harvard man nailed it,
The crimsons made a brilliant get
away on their first chance, Newhall
and Lincoln executing double pass
good for twenty-five yards and took
the ball to Yale's 23-yard line. There
the bulldog showed its teeth and the
tempted a drop-kick goal, but the ball
was blocked and Yale man captured
it in mid-feld
Each side tried little line-smash-
ing and Harvard succeeded in making
one first down by blowing thru Yale s
center, but In nearly every instance
the ten yards proved too much and on
the last down kick or forward pass
was in order. After each side had been
penallzed for holding, Veeder booted
the ball across Harvard's goal line.
The, ball was brought out to the 90
yard line, where Burr punted to Knox,
who returned it to Harvard's 2O-yard
line after the most spectacular run of
tho, game, forty-yard dash thru the
entire Harvard team.
Pounds Harvard Line.
| With goal in sight, Yale began
pounding the Harvard tackles for
steady gains and had reached the
S-yard line when double pass was at
tempted: H. Jones received the pass,
Harvard 8 2-yard line, he muffed. Mac
Donald fell on it and Burr quickly
booted it out of the danger zone.
Following an exchange of kicks, T.
Jones and Veeder executed a success
| full double pass good for forty yards,
that gave Yale the ball on Harvard s
22-yard line. There the crimson braced
from the 35-yard line. The attempt
went five yards wide and Harvard
kicked out from the 2O-yard line, En-
! win running it back to the Harvard
| 4O-yard line before being downed. Wee

ten yards and it was: Yale's ball on !
Harvard s. 25-yard line.
Yale tried straight football, but
could not gain, and Veeder dropped
back tor an apparent try at a field
goal; Instead, he made a beautiful for
ward pass to Forbes, which gained
eleven yards. A straight buck was
stopped by the Harvard linemen with
out the gain Of an inch, but on the
next attempt Roone, who Just entered
the game, aided and dragged along by
/ beautiful interference, went thru Pierce
for touchdown, and moment later

Burr kicked behind Yale's goal line
and the ball was brought out and punt

and the half ended with the ball in

Second Half Starts.
! Yale kicked off to Harvard in the
second half and a punt duel followed,
in which Burr more than held his own

/ forced into Harvard territory and the
crimson put on the defensive. Being
unable to gain, Burr was frequently
called upon and his punting enabled
Harvard to keep the ball in Yale's ter

and Harvard invaded the blue territory
