Harvard came TO tn" gridiron confident
and ia Il splendid physical condition. With
several Wanted stars in her eleven, the
Crimson had thousands OF followers on
hand early to go wild with delight at the
event of success, but before the game had
lasted fifteen minutes Harvard's hopes

With some little III feeling between tbs
rival universities because OF Harvard's
dictatoriai action in regard to the appoint

into the struggle determined to wipe the
Cambridge experts of the map. n
from practically the first sound OF the
Whistle the blue warriors made the fur
fly in royal fashion.
In general play Yale waseasily the master.
With the exception OF Burr's long punts
Yale excelled in everything. In forward
passes there were few mistakes and several
big gains. With the onside kick the New
Haven men made Harvard look cheap.
In plunging through the Crimson defence
the fact was made plain that Yale had
the greater strength. which. coupled with
ever increasing skill. carried the day.

ism. Every man knew what was required

and discouraged, was driven back into
the slough of defeat. By quick thinking
and a knowledge Of Harvard's weak points
Yale swept on to victory in such an i'm
p~ressive manner that before the second

and rooters.
A superb run Of forty-fve yards BIZ

Of the heart out Of the Crimson. This sen

Right on top Of this came O bold trial for
a goal from the field by veedef from the

onside kick to Forbes, who was downed on
Harvard's 20 yard line, the distress Of

the climax. for Roome then made an easy
touchdown, from which Veeder kicked a
goal.

superiority Of Yale that when the second

Harvard would not score. Yale played a
