THE FORWARD PASS FAILS


long years, Harvard came back with
enough foot ball ability to outmatch
Yale, its great rival, scoring 70 =
victory this afternoon on Yale field IN
the presence OF nearly 10000 people,
Kennard kicked goal from the field IN
the first half. Not since Dave" Camp
bell led his dashing crimson eleven to
victory has Harvard been able TO even
score on Yale, and the fact that old Eli,
though repeatedly showed about the field
this afternoon, was able TO stiifen and
keep Harvard from scoring q touchdown
shows what time Harvard had in get
ting the better of its adversary.
But the crimson is different than 1t
was year ago; it played foot ball OF
the brainy kind, had the speed, strength
and fight, and Is Justly entitled to what
ever big honors the winning OF such a
game as to.day's brings. Taking the
ball on punt close TO its own 40-yard
line, it wove its way down inside the
Yale 20-yard line, ripping through the
line and mixing the journey with end
runs. A Vineyard penalty for Yale help
ed, but there was no stop in that steady
invasion of the Yale territory. Inside
the 20.yard mark, Yer Wiebe, the start.
ling fill back, who had been twisting
the Yale TANKS for telling gains, was
suddenly replaced by Kenard, kicker
of ability. Yer Wiebe was hard man
TO lose, but the crimson needed kicker.
Yale had held twice and the ball was
Just a little more than three chalk
marks away from the goal posts and
directly in front. The change Of Ken
nard for Yer Wiebe settled the issue.
A place kick was called for, and Ken.
nard was the man. Had he failed, Har-
wards ambition would have been squash
ed. But he was equal to the occasion,
the ball sailing over the crossbar an easy
goal, a victory for Harvard
Yale came back In the second half
with great determination and after a
long series of Intellectual PUSHES followed
by kicks, II twice threatened to cross
the line of the Crimson, chances being
taken on Harvard passes, chances that
were lost. The two passes attempted
went wrong and Yale was frustrated.
Had one of them been successful, Yale
would undoubtedly have scored, and had
Il nade touchdown it would have again
b aten its rival. A long forward hurl
was engineered from the l5-yard line.
A long armed crimson jerseyed player
9nped into the air, batted the ball out
Of haru's way and the leartheroid bump
I'd end rolled 10 the crimson goal line.

ward pass was resorted to, and in the
failure Of this play was the failure of
the Yale team TO beat it's rival.
Yale lined up as though a kick were
coming. The ball was slung high and
deep down to the crimson goal line, and
son of old Eli on the eight.yard mark
leaped and grasped the ball The Yale
stands rocked with wild enthusiasm But
the ball had not been passed five yards
out from center and the play was lost,
Harvard taking the ball on downs on the
25-yard line. There was no show for
Yale after this. 1t had its two oppor-
tunities to make another great second
half rally, and the i'll success of the for
ward pass settled its fate. Once in the
first half it had plunged through to the
Crimson l6yard mark, but here crimson
forwards stood firm and the ball had to
be surrendered on downs.
Harvard had great offensive strength,
its line plunging and end running net
ting it a vast amount OF territory in the
first half compared with the work Of its
opponent. In the second half it had the
same old rip and tear, but not 50 crush
ing as in the early period. Nothing like
the forward passes Of the Dartmouth
game were put to the test by the Grim
son. One pass was tried in the first
part of the game, but the ball struck
the ground and was lost. This was the
first and last appearance Of Harvard's
forward passing. Yale, on the other
hand. did not resort to forward passing
until the second period, and both tries,
which would have meant so much, had
