today. Yale could not withstand
Once the Harvard rushes were for
thirty-three yards, a first down each
time, and in the last period Corbett
had carried the ball to the 12-yard line,
when it went to Yale by bad judgment.
Harvard always was the aggressor.
Yale made few consistent gains. The
Minnesota shift, used in several varia-
tions, was worked for a gain on the
first formation, but the next time al
most invariably the play would be
stopped by Harvard backs. Howe, the
Yale quarterback, supported the gen.
eral idea of the Yale defense by con-
stantly punting, and he sent the ball
high in the air, giving Fitzpatrick and
Brooks, the ends, time to get under it
and tackle the runner. 1t was the
wonderful work of the two ends and
Fields tackling that shone in Yale's
game.
The entire Yale team was quicker in
action, its formations were thrown out
and shifted over with great speed, and
when the ball was put in play there
was every evidence that the men had
been trained in the fundamentals
which for years had been the wonder
of the football world.
SAVE DAILY FOR FINISH
The Yale line, in face of the boring
of Wendall, who seemed to open up
holes by sheer strength, was surpris-
ingly compact. Daily was not used a
great deal at plunging owing, it is un-
derstood, to a weak knee. He was re-
served until the latter part of the
game, and his opportunity came just
before the end, when he tried a drop
kick from the 35-yard line, but it was
deflected by the wind.
AS to Harvard, the disappointment
was the running of the team by Quar-
terback Wigglesworth and the fumbling
of the backs.
Wigglesworth was taken out and Pot
ter and Gardner were substituted, but
the coaches pushed the little quarter
backs into the game and each time
errors of judgment followed. The Har-
ward team, as a whole, was the same
compact and well drilled team of the
whole season, but it lacked at critical
tones a master hand.
The punting was disappointing as
whole, although in the first period it
gave promise of being feature. Howe
did not get distance, and FELTON, only
was able to get telling distance.
In the game Harvard punted fifteen
times for $40 yards and Howe booted
the ball twenty times for $40 yards
From the spectacular point of view, the
features of the game were the variety
of plays used, and the more interesting
fact that the ball could always be seen.
The forward pass was used by Har-
ward five times. Three tries were fail
ures, and of the other two only one
made a gain-that only eight yards
Yale did not use the play. Days drop
kick was matched by one made by
Lewis, which was a similar failure.
HARYARD's RUsHEs SUPERIOR
The superiority of Harvard over Yale
was shown in the rushing, for ten times
the Crimson got first down, and her
work in this style, tried fifty-five times
brought gains of 201 yards; while Yale,
following first down, six times, tried
rushing thirty seven times for Ill
yards. Yale discarded the on-side kick
entirely, while Harvard used it four
times as an effective ground gamer
The game was short lasting less than
an hour and three-q quarters. The scene
which had for it's setting a patch of
green turf with banks of humanity on
all four sides scintillated with color in
the sun as it slowly crept down the
horizon.
The singing was effective, and one of
the striking color effects was when the
Harvard cheering section in the west
stand outlined a great H" in crimson
and white pennants, waving them to
college air.
