drawn and scoreless battle was fought
out on Yale field today between Har-
yard and Yale. To the adherents of
the blue. it was a moral victory for
their team, which came back to de-
feat Princeton II proved TOO strong
for the all-powerful crimson which
came here confident of victory.
This is the third time that Yale has
rallied at the eleventh hour to cheat
harvard of a victory, the others in
1897 and 1899 being on Soldiers field
and under conditions somewhat like
those of this seasons. In those years
Yale had a disastrous mid-season, but
recovered when the time ann for the
supreme test.
In the anne today both teams were
very strong on the defense, but the
wonderful mechanism which Harvard
had shown all through the season went
to naught, owing to costly fumbles'
both when the crimson was batter
ing her way down toward that COW
eted place. Poor ~geneTalship. both
times was the trouble. for Harvard
elected to rush with downs to spare
instead of trying a field goal whlch
seemed to promise success.
These fumbles were the critical
points in the game. The Harvard
team had gone through the season
with a clean record of handling the
ball. 1t seemed to be n OF her
strong cards, but failure by TWO OF

As to Harvard, the disappointment
was the running Of the team by quar-

ling of the backs. W~iSSlesworth was
twice aiken out, and Gardner was
substituted, but the coaches pushed
the little quarterback into the game
and each time errors of judgment lol-

was the same compact and Wen
drilled team of the whole season. pul
it lacked at critical times a master
hand.
The punting was disappointing as
a whole. although in the first period
it gave Promise of being a feature.

In the game Harvard punted fifteen
times for $40 yards and Howe booted

features of the game were the VarleVS

fact that the ball could always De

The forward pass was used by Har-

The superiority of Harvard over
