YALE'S VICTORY OVER HARVARD Several Reasons Why There
 Was Not a Larger Score. ROPER HELPED CRIMSON Princeton Coach Arrives Too Late for Material Damage
 to the Blue.

Yale's last football battle of the year Saturday, when the team de- teated Harvard 12 to 0, apparently came out as the coaches of the Hlis anticipated, according to their state- ments before the game, and far dif- ferent from the belief of the Yale un- dergraduate body, which believed thst the score would be much larger one for the Blue.
 One reason for the holding of Yale by the Crimson was the remarkable way in which Harvard braced in the week following the Dartmouth game. Another reason is that Coach Roper of Princeton did his best to have the team which defeated the Tigers de- feated by manifestly weaker team. and so went up to Cambridge ana coached Harvard. He evidently arriv- ed too late to materially damage the Yale's hopes for victory, butt showed the Harvard men how to block sonAe of the Yale plays, Still another rea- son Is the slight practice which the Yale eleven had during the week pre- ceding the game.
 | The spectacular work of Gov was missed from the game because the Yale fullback had not quite recovered from the hard contest against Prince ton. Coy, however, played a first class game and would have shined had 1t not beenl for his superior playing of the week before.
 The other backs all did excellent work. Brides, who played at left halfback through the game until the last minute played even better than against the Tigers. When given the ball to carry he was sure of making substantial gain, and of keeping the ball, His principal work was opening up the Harvard line for Coy and the other backs to go through, and he never failed to afford opportunity for long advance
 l Philbin, who was put in in Bo- mars place after the latter had played his usual ground gaining game and received several hard knocks, proved Yales greatest individual ground gainer. Tad Jones last gridiron fight for Yale was one of his best, and the way he generalled the Yale eleven was remarkable. The only excuse for the Yale coaches taking him out and putting Dimes in his place at the last minute of the game was the hard work of Dimes during the fall season, and the fact that he did not get in the game against Princeton.
 When Dimes went in he took an en- tirely new set of backs. Wheaton, who had replaced Philbin, was in turn re- placed by Berger Beebe took Brides place and Wylie Coy's. The plucky lit- tie Dimes ran the team in courageous manner Instead of having the ball. kicked out from the six-inch line where Yale had held the Crimson for downs: he passed it back, Goebel and Beebe falling in front of Harvard line and preventing it from pushing Yale back for a safety and the ball went three yards out from the line, clear from danger Then the whistle blew.
 The Yale line was strong. Dunbar, who went in at center the last minute before the game, put it all over the Harvard center and Alcott's playing was such as to make him a strong can- didate for the all-American. Biglow and Foster played in the tackle posi- tions well and the rest of the line fought from the start to the finish
 While the interest here is Chiefly in the Yale playing, the fast work of Wendell, the Harvard left half back, and Newhall, the quarterback, should be remarked upon. The lineup and summary:
