NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 21.-A
crimson tide of banners swept in tri-
umph over Yale field in the dying light
this afternoon for the men of Harvard,
after seven long years, had beaten
Yale 4 to 0. A goal from the field,
kicked by Victor R. Kennard of Brook
line. Mass, fresh from the side lines,
and standing on Yales twenty-eight-
yard line with the crimson line planted
on the f1fteen-yard line, was the win
ming score, just as the first half was
closing.
The game was battle of football
giants. After all, granting to the Har-
ward men their full share of credit for
the victory, the sons of Eli can point
as a consolation to their goal line,
which was not crossed by a foe of even
such worthy metal. Man for man, the
teams were equally matched. Each
teams defense was stronger than its
offense, and the best laid plans of STRAIT
egy well went for naught.
The central point in the game came
in the second half, owing to the failure
of forward pass. Yale had been rail-
lying with a desperation born of knowl-
edge that time was fieeting and had
worked the ball to Harvard's 22-yard
line when Johnson, the quarter back.
gave the signal for the play which
This time the place for it's execution
was the diagonal opposite corner field.
The ball went back to Philbin, who
passed it cleanly over the onrushing
Crimson forwards to Payne.
But the ball was not thrown more
than FIVE yards from the center line,
and the play being regarded as faulty
under the rules, the ball went to Har-
ward. A great sigh of relief went up
from the Harvard side of the field, and
half minute later the game ended.
Harvard rushed during the entire
game So times, netting 241 yards, an
average distance of 3 2-3 yards to a
rush. Yale rushed AT times for a dis
tance of 95 yards, or nearly a yard
less per rush on the average. Harvard
received the ball four times on downs,
while Yale failed to hold the crimson
for a down once, simply because a
kick was resorted to when two rushes
had failed to give the needed ten yards.
This made the exchanges of the ball
frequent and lent spice to the playing.
The rushing had it's compensations,
for it worked up the audience to a
high pitch of expectancy every few
minutes.
In kicking, Coy lifted the ball nine

the Pacific Athletic club has offered an

1t is interesting to note the great
difference in opinion among the sports
men whose opinions regarding a fighter
always command respect. Since this
match was made these expert authori-
ties have differed widely in their ideas,
and a sample of what they think is
given herewith because it is interesting
to note how widely two well informed
pugilistic authorities will differ in view
ing the probable result of any fight.
"Attell is so speedy and clever and
his feet are so we'll educated that he
will tie Freddie into such a difficult
knot in five rounds that a regiment of
surgeons with pick axes could not take
the twist out of his neck" said man
who has been interested in the fight
game in all its phases except as a
fighter. ''Welsh may have shown great
cleverness and speed in his battles
against second-raters like Brock, Car
sey and Murphy, but he never in all
his life tackled an opponent so mar
Velously fast and clever and such a
perfect ring general as Attell. While
Freddie outclasses these slow fighters,
he hardly can develop enough speed to
set any pace with Attell, and he is not
clever enough to make much headWay
against the foxy Abraham. L am of
the opinion that the fight will go the
full fifteen rounds and that Abe Will
win the decision so far beyond all ques-
tion that there will be no chance for
any doubt about it,.
'fWelsh is as clever and speedy as
Attell; he is as good a ring general
hits much harder, has as good noodle
and has the advantage in height,
weight and reach. Therefore, how IN

get into proper condition to permit
them to maintain their speed ana
clever tactics throughout the hfteeh
rounds without having to slow down a
single moment. Both will go into the
ring perfectly tr&ined and possessed
of ali the speed that is attainable.
When they start to mix they will set
a dizzy pace, and the fans will see
some pretty boxing and some stin
punching.
There is a chance that knockout
will settle their argument, but rev
really expect such result. The very
Fact that each is so superlatively clever
that he stands alone in his class as
scientific boxer is cited by some as
proof that one of them will be able
10 get over wallop that may produce
sleep. while the same argument is
used with reverse English by others.
This latter aggregation asserts that
because each is so remarkably clever
neither will be able to get in
knockout punch. Both boys possess a

opponent into dreamland, but 1t is
doubtful if either ever gets it over

Howard Baker and Jack Walsh ana
Flynn at East Side will have Danny

On the eve of the battle johnson
declares that he never felt more in the
fighting spirit than he does at pres
ent. While he never tried to make eX-
cuses for his many defeats, he now
SAYS that for the first time he is in a
condition which satisfies him, and he
also asserts that if he does not beat
Flynn decisively he will acknowledge
that he has no business as an asplrant
to the heavyweight honors. and that
he win retire to the second graders
and keep there. Johnson certainly
looks the part, and the way he has
been spinning his sparring partners
about since he started training shows
that his talk is not idle, and the camp
followers to a man see victory ahead
for the Russian
No gamer pug ever entered the ring
than Flynn, and If he were pitted
against a heavyweight twice his
poundage the fans would go to see
him in action, for they know that While
he lasts he will fully recompense them
for their attendance upon the hght.
FLYNN has been preparing for this
battle with Johnson for the past two
weeks and not for a day has he let UP
in his hard work until now he shows
that he is in shape for the rough con-
test which will be his portion when
he faces the Russian for the third
time
FLYNN is backing himself to win, and
he declares that the fans will see a
repetition of the former bouts, al
though this time he hopes to win
more decisively than in the second
contest. Flynn will do little work af-
ter this afternoons matinee, and he
will enter the ring trifie under 17C
pounds. The betting yesterday was
10 to 7 in favor of Flynn, although
there was plenty of Johnson money at
this figure.
The order of the fights is as follows;
Tim Cameron VS.. Arthur Collins, six
rounds; Frank Mantell VS.. Roy Page
six rounds; Walter Fisher VS.. Danny
Webster, ten rounds; Jim Flynn VS.
Battling johnson. ten rounds
To sift from the preliminaries one
that will not be attractive would be an
impossible task and just because one
of them has to be put on first does not
in the least detract from it's worth.
The fans, therefore, are cautioned to
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-22

the world can Abe beat him?" is the
way another prominent sportsman, also
a keen observer at ringside and an
excellent judge of fighters. II sincerely
believe that Welsh can beat Abe IN ten
rounds if he goes into the ring with
that confidence and fights as he is ca
pable of doing. Abe will find the little
Englishnan so fast and clever that he
will not be able to run away and side
step him as he has done with other
and less clever fighters, and if Freddie
goes after him he will get him in ten
rounds. 1 think Abe has made the mis-
take of his life in going into this
fight"
The betting fans are all at sea as to
the probabilities of the scrap. When
the odds at first were posted welsh
was made a 10 to favorite. Those
who believe in the little Hebrew
snapped up these odds so fast that
even money soon succeeded this price.
Then the Attell money kept pouring in
at such a steady stream at evens that
he was made the 10 to favorite. Hear
ing this, Welsh came to Los Angeles
last Friday and wanted $500 worth or
the Attell money. This started scare
that sent the odds back to evens. Last
night there was a bunch of. money

The odds tell the state Of the public

knows and almost is afraid to venture

age of 355a yards. Harvard called
upon her fullbacks to kick and the
total of their efforts was 1926 yards for
II times, an average of 80 2-5 yards.
From the start of the game to the
end there was over-eagerness among
the players to be in the fight, and this
brought many penalties, Harvard los
ing 130 yards on twelve penalties, and
Yale fifty-five yards on six penalties
Neither team tried many of the re-
sourceful plays which the revised rules
have brought out.
The Victory of Harvard undoubtedly
was due to the quick judgment of the
Harvard coaches in sending in Kennard
to try for a goal. though Verweih,
whom he succeeded had been playing
finely. The change in the lineup was
made instantly, and when it came the
lineup was on Yale's 12-yard line. In
another second Kennard, at fullback,
received the ball and, applying his toe
to it, the goal was made amid wild
scenes on the Harvard side of the field
Few thought that this would be the
only score made.
