Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 2O.-The splen-
did kicking Of Captain Edward H. Coy
brought the eastern intercollegiate foot
ball championship back to Yale today il
an oId-fashioned football game, in which
Harvard went down to defeat by a score
of s to 0.
Driving the Crimson team steadily PACK
by his long punts, Captain Coy cropped
two goals from the field, and the ag-
gressive forwards of the Yale team con-
friblIted two points more by blocking a
Harvard punt which resulted in safety
for the Crimson.
While Yale seemed to win easily, the
game was a distinct disappointment from
Harvard standpoint, for the crimson
eleven showed greater power than the
Blue in straight rushing and al one time
carried the ball SO yards in four scrim-
images. ..,.,,
while Harvard resorted to few open
1t seemed Yale's policy to rely on Cap
tain Coy's kicking rather than on time
plays. only twice in the contest did ale
really threaten Harvard's goal by straigf n
rushing In both instances the Harvard
defense stopped progress at the eleven
yard line and Captain Coys efforts for
field goals failed.
Kicks Too Far.
If CAPTAIN Coy had not outzicked his
ends the Yale score might have reached
double figures, for the Harvard back
field was unable to judge the skyrocket
punts and O'Flaherty fumbled nearly
every kick.

the feat and three more points were
