TOUCHDOWN
IN EACH Hal I

B CAMBRIDGE. MASS, November %
Yale superbly maintained her football
supremacy by defeating Harvard, her
I Oldest rival. In the Stadium to-day by
score OF IL to 0. Without resortinR
except on occasions to the so-calIed
new plays, Yale scored q touchdown in
each half on almost continuous plunges
through tho line. Either scontent with
safe lead or wearied by her efforts
IN defeating Princeton q week ago.
ale to-day made no effort apparently
to roll up big score, yet when, In the
very last minute OF the game, the
Crimson players. BY a fortunate on
slde kick, carried the ball to within
striking distance OF the Yale goal. the
sturdy line OF Blue became adamant.
and Harvard was prevented from scor-
ing. 1t Is years since such magniff-
cent defense has been seen on Soldiers,
Field .
Vast Crowd.
Nearly 10000 spectators sat In the
indian summer sunshine and saw tha
Harvard eleven struggle In vain
against the superior prowess OF, the
Yale team. On occasions a Crimso n
player would worm his way through
Inc Yale line or circle the ends for
gains OF i've or six yards. but soon
the Yale line would close up the holes
or the Blue players would fatlom III g
Harvard onslaught. and the Crimson
would be compelled to kick. 1t was
not particularly thrilling game. for
long and spectacular runs were MSS
ing. and there were few errors in the
back field to give the opposing side
material advantage.
IL was not until the first half was
drawing to a close that the Yale offen-
sive machinery began TO work smoothly
ha hall
the field.
/ From Fale's forty-six-yard line three
PUSHES. an on-side kick and a cleverly
executed forward pass placed the ball
on Harvard's Vineyard line. The
crimson players braced themselves for
the onslaught, but could not withstand
1ale's plunges. and three rushes car
ried the ball over.
DiEelOsy Kicks Goal.
Captain Bigelow added another point
by kicking the goal and soon after
the players retired for brief rest
Tho second score came about fifteen
minutes after the second half began,
and again Yale started in her own ter
ritory and carried the ball seventy
yards. without a loss, to the Harvard
goal line. More scrimmages were re-
quired for this score than the previous
one. and a 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 centre OF
the field. and then rushing 1t twenty
yards carried OFF brilliant; onside
kick. which placed It on Yale's six
yard line. A Crimson score seemed In
evitable. The first rush went three
yards, the second a yard, the third q
trifle more than foot There tLs ball
went to Yale on downs and there the
game ended.
