YALE IS VICTORIOUS
M MAINTAINED HER SUPREMACY
 OVER HARVARD.
It Was Not Thrilling Game, and Spectacular Runs Were MIss- ing-Forty Thousand Pec-
 pIe Witness the Battle.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 23.-Yale su- perbly maintained her football suprem- acy by defeating Harvard, her oldest rival. in the stadium here today by a score of 12 to o. Without resorting. except on occasions. to the sotealled in each half on almost continuous plunges through the line.
 Either content with a safe lead or wearied by her efforts in defeating Princeton a week ago, Yale today made no effort. apparently, to roll up big score, yet when in the very last min- ute of the game, the crimson players by a fortunate on-side kick. carried the ball to within striking distance of the Yale goal. the sturdy line of blue became adamant, and Harvard was pre- vented from scoring.
 It is years since such a magnificent defense has been seen on Soldiers Field, nearly 10000 spectators sat in the Indian summer sunshine and saw the Harvard eleven struggle in vain against the superior prowess of the player would work his way through the Yale line or circle the ends for gains Of five or six yards, but soon the Yale line would close the holes or the blue players would fathom the Har- yard onslaught an the crimson would be cOmpelleO to KICK. IL was not a particularly thrilling game or long, and spectacular runs were missing and there were few errors in the back field to give opposing side material advantage. .F
 It was not until the first half was drawing to a close that the Yale of- fensive machinery began to work smoothly enough to carry the ball steadily down the field. From Yale's forty-six yard line. three rushes, an on-side kick and a cleverly executed forward pass placed the ball on Har- yards nine-yard line- The crimson players braced themselves for the on slaught, but could not withstand Yale's plunges and three rushes carried the ball over. Captain Bigelow added am other point by kicking the goal and soon after the players retired for a brief rest. ."
 The second score came about fifteen minutes after the second half began and again Yale started in her own territory and carried the ball seventy yards without a loss 10 the Harvard goal line More scrimmages were re- quired for this score than the previ- ous one, and forward pass made nearly twenty yards of the distance. From this time Yale played entirely on the defensive and substitutes were sent in every few minutes.
 With about three minutes to play Harvard got the ball in the center of the field and then rushing it twenty

ALABAMA
 VICTORIOUS Louisiana Goes Down in
 Defeat. REDY SAVES THE GAME Over Two Thousand Mobilians Wit
 messed the Struggle. The Louisiana Boys Clearly Outplayed The AIabamians From Every Standpoint But There Was - Lack of GeneraIshlp.
 a


 Mobile. Nov, 23-(SpeciaD D-Alabama defeated Louisiana today by score of 6 to 4, at a moment when the game was clearly lost. With twenty seconds to play. Louisiana Anade an on-side kick to the Alabama forty yard line and Reedy, of Alabama, nabbing the ball in the air. darted around his right end and up field for touch down.
 The goal was easily Kicked Louisi- ana outplayed Alabama from every standpoint, except that she showed a woeful lack of generalship at the crucial moments of the game. There were three times in the second half when Louisiana could have made scores themselves in a position to stop defeat. Why the Louisiana captain. Knowing there was less time than two minutes to play, ever made an on-side KICK will never be known. ~
 Louisianas score was made by a place kick on Alabama's eighteen yard line in the middle of the first half: Louisiana had sent the ball up field of Alabama's line. bucks. The pig skin going over to Louisiana. close to the goal line, gave the opportunity. A little bucking at this time might have given Louisiana a touch down thus saving them from the ultimate de- feat
 But here Is a case where general ship must be questioned. Coach Pol lard states that the game was the most unsatisfactory he has played this season. owing principally to the fact that the Louisiana coaches and mana ger were raising questions for argu- ment and finding fault at all times.
 The crowd which attended the game was over two thousand. but it was not a really enthusiastic one. Alabama s military formation which she worked so we'll against Auburn last Saturday, was not quite so effective against Louisiana the L S. U. boys already having been taught how to break the formation before it had gained good momentum.

Last Of Preparatory Series
 Of Basket Ball Games Played.

Yale. Pennsylvania. Carlisle Indians and Harvard succumbed to the York team. Susong led his team in scoring through every season, and during his career at York, scored in the neighbor- hood of 400 field goals, despite the fact that with the exception of one year he played guard.
 Hall, former Cleveland, Ohio. star. and later with the crack Mobile teafn, is also an aspirant for the team and is working hard to get in shape.
 The remainder of the team will be composed of local boys who have kept the game alive in Montgomery Harry Davis, who has been regarded as the speediest forward in this section, Is now travelling In better form than ever. Will Patterson, Brame Hood T. Alley and Harris Washburn conclude the squad which will wear the orange and black in the first game.
 However. there is other promising material in the Association which, with proper practice, will develop and make some of the players hustle who at present will represent the Association.
 The game with Columbus will mark the first appearance of the Georgians in Montgomery, and 1t is said that number of rooters are coming with the team.

INDIANS WIN AGAIN
DEFEATED UNIVERSITY OF CIIT-
 CAGO IN FAST CAME.
In Almost Every Department uf The Great Game The Indians Had The Better Of Their
 Rivals.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The Carlisle In- dian school football team defeated the University of Chicago here today in a fast, desperately fought game. The score was IS to 4. Three field goals from placement and a touchdown and goal accounted for the Indians' points. Walter Steffen, quarterback on the home team, scored for Chicago by a drop kick from the 30-yard line.
 In almost every department of the game. especially in line play, the h. dians had the better of their rivals. The speedy attack which had swep. aside other Western teams was slowe d up by the fierce play of the Indian guards and tackles. The Chicago ends were outsprinted and often completely boxed in and the maroon bacx @feId had no chance to get started on toe long, twisting. lodging runs which have made the players noted in this section.
 The Carlisle team was without the services of Mount Pleasant, the popu- lar quarterback. A broken thumb re- ceived in the Minnesota game kept him on the side lines. But at that he was scarcely missed. Balenti and Island ran the play without hitch and the accurate kicking of Houser. coupled with his slashing runs and line plung- ing made up for the ground gaining and scoring abilities of the regular quarterback.
 Hotser, m fact. was whole team In himself. Backed up by impregnable interference he carried the ball two- thirds of the time in the Indian at tack and seldom failed to gain ground. Anken and Little Boy opened up great gaps for him between Jones and An- derson and on dashes around the end Hendricks and Exendine put the op- posing Chicago men out of the7 play with an ease that was startling. Hous- CTS best work. however. was with his toe. Three times he negotiated goals from placement with Balenti holding the ball.
