NEW HAVEN, Nov. ls.-(Speclal rei--
grsm.)-The Harvard machine did not
stand up" in the great emergency and
the big foot ball game played here this
afternoon by the Yale and crimson elevenH
before 5000 persons ended without score
being made by either team. Harvard had
at least 5000 chances TO score, but failed TO
put over the punch" once a penalty set
Il back from the shadow Of the Yale goal
posts. Again a drop kick from the field
was fizzle and finally just It seemed
as il Harvard was about TO make the fatal
thrust, Corbett fumbled the ball on Yale's
twelve-yard line and Yale promptly re-
covered and kicked out Of danger.
Yale threatened Harvard only once, and
that was in the last period, when Captain
DAILY attempted to kick a goal from the
field, standing on the forty-five-yard line.
The ball went wide to the left, however
and few minutes later the game was over
Harvards indiscretlon in the last period
and poor passing and some atroclous Jug
Cling by Wiggesworth we're great dlsap-
pointments. Just when they had expected
to see the team show some reserve power
It became disorganlEed.
The sharp tackles shift'' attack OF Yale
was working all afternoon but II did not
carry the team very far toward a touch
down, Sometimes It was good for big gains,
and at other times good for nothing. The
play did shake up the Harvard eleven
badly, however, and may have been respon-
sible for the visitors rather weak efforts
in the final period.
Tries Forward Pass.
Harvard resorted to the forward pass and
on-side kicks frequently. Two passes were
good for substantial gains. The on-Eide
Kick was never successful. Yale did not
use the forward pass once.
The bright Individual star OF the game
was Wendell, whose great dashes through
the Yale line almost carried his team TO
victory Both teams were strong on the
defense, being prepared not only for
straight line attack, but also for play that
was more open. The game clearly showed
how difficult It Is to score under the new
rules.
Yale appeared to be satisfied with the
result The undergraduates carried Can

The Harvard boys, on the other hand, were
distinctly disappointed The team was
found wanting in emergencies
The Harvard team had gone through the
season with clean record OF handling the
ball. 1t seemed to be one OF its strong
cards, but failure by two OF the backs
Wigglesworth and Corbett to cling 10 the
pigskin in tight places probably cost 1t the
victory.
Yale could not Withstand the batterinp
Once the Harvard rushes were for thirty
three yards, a first down each time ana
in the last period Corbett had carried ths
ball 20 the twelve-yard line when IL went
to Yale by bad judgment. Harvard always
was the aggressor Yale made few con-
sistent gains. The Minnesota shift, used
in several variations, was worked for a
gain on the first formation, but the next
time almost invariably the play would be
stopped by the Harvard backs. Howe. the
Yale quarterback. supported the general
ideas OF the Yale defense by constantly
punting, and he sent the bail high in the
air. giving Fitzpatrick and Brooks. the ends

Ends Do Great Work.
II was the wonderful work of the two

years had been the wonder OF the foot ball

The Yale line, which had TO bear the

seemed to open up holes by sheer strength,

As 70 Harvard, the disappointment was
the running OF the team by Quarterback
