Cambridge. Mass, November 20.-(Spe-
cial.)-Yale defeated Harvard this aft
ernoon by a score of to 0.
For the seventh time In eight years
the giants in blue hammered the crimson
team to shutout score and the only
consolation Harvard can find tonight Is
that she is growing used to it. Not one
point has she scored against the blue in
the great new stadium.
Today's victory wipes out last years
defeat and though the game itself was
not great exhibition of modern foot
ball 1t was rather more interesting than
perfection could have been, because of
the wavering chances which might have
sent either team to the locker house a
loser.
Captain Ted Coy, last years idol, is a
demi-god this evening. It was his large
right boot which sent two field goals
whirling over the crossbars for six points
Of the eight scored against Harvard. Coy,
who smashed and battered last years
Harvard line almost at will. did not re-
peat his sensational performance today.
The red line stood up to the terrific
plunges of the Yale backs, meeting them
rather more than half way and time after
time Coy and Philbin were crumpled up
for no gain. The really effective line
plunging was done by Minot of Harvard,
and there was one time during the game,
just at the opening of the second half,
when Harvard went marching down the
field with tie in plain sight. With the
whole red line fighting like tigers, the
ball was carried down the field by sue
cession of terrific line plunges but when
Minot. by his last great effort, brought
the ball to Yale 26-yard line, the Har-
ward quarter lost his great opportunity
and signalled an on-side kick. The ball
whirled into the crowd behind the goal
post and Harvard's bright prospects died
out In swirling eddy OF Yale blue. Never
after that was Harvard a dangerous fac
tor and when Coy sent his second goal
spinning between the crossbars the vic
tory was cinched. Up to that time
touchdown would have meant tied score
and a goal would have given the red
team lead of one point
10000 See the Game.
The greatest crowd which ever wit
messed a football game In this country
began pouring into the new stadium at
/ o'clock There were seats for 5000 per-
sons and every one Of them was sold an,
hour before the game. After that it was
only a question of getting In and the
thousands who had no tickets lined the
banks of the Charles river. watching the
score board through field glasses. The
narrow bridge over the river was packed
from rail to rail for a solid hour while
the ticket holders poured across toward
the great concrete coliseum which is un-
questionably the greatest athletic sta
dunn in the country. Slowly the grey
of the concrete was blotted out by the
scurrying groups of spectators and when
the Yale band stood up to play, a blot
of bright blue against the black. $4,000
were already inside the structure and
the roads were still black with the thous-
ands more.
This year the Harvard students could
not parade. The great crowd on the
single road leading from Harvard square
to the stadium made a parade impos-
sible The Harvard men shouldered their
way through, behind their band, but there
