YALE SURPRISES HARVARD

NEW HAVEN, Nov. ia drawn
and scoreless battle was fought out
on Yale field today between Yale and
Harvard. To the adherents of the
blue it was a moral victory, for their
team, which came back" to defeat
Princeton, proved too strong for the
all powerfu crimson, which came
here confident of victory.
This is the third time that Yale was
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 season. In those years
Yale had a disastrous misseason, but
recovered when the time came for the
supreme test.
In the game 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 the costly
fumbles, but when it was not a long
way to the Yale goal line and when
the crimson was battering her way
down toward the coveted place. Poor
generalship both times was the trou-
BILE, for Harvard elected to rush with
downs to spare instead Of trying
field goal, which seemed to promise
success.
These fumbles were the critical
points in the game. The Harvard
team has gone through the season
with a clean record of handling the
ball. 1t seemed to be one of her strong
cards, but failure by two of the backs,
Wigglesworth and Corbett, to cling
to the pigskin in tight places prob
ably cost her the victory.
Yale could not withstand the bat
tering Once the Harvard rushes were
for SO yards, first down each time,
and in the last period Corbett had
carried the ball to the II yard line
when it went to Yale by bad judg-
ment
Harvard always was the aggressor
Yale made few consistent gains. The
Minnesota shift, used in several varia-
tons, was worked for gain on the
first formation, but the next time, al
most invariably, the play would be
stopped by the Harvard backs. Howe,
the Yale quarterback, supported the
general idea of the Yale defense by
constantly 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 which shone
in Yale's game.
The entire Yale team was quick in
action, it's 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 funda-
mentals which for years had been
the wonder of the football world.
The Yale line, which had to bear
the brunt of the boring by Wendall,
who seemed to open up holes by sheer
strength, was surprisingly compact.
DAILY was not used a great deal at
plunging, owing, it is understood, to
weak knee. He was reserved until
the latter part Of the game, and his
opportunity came Just before the end
when he tried drop kick from the 80
yard line, but it was DETECTED by the
wind.
AS to Harvard, the disappointment
was the running of the team by Quar-
terback Wigglesworth and the FUN
bling of the backs. Wigglesworth
was taken out and Potter and Gard
ner were substituted, but the coaches
pushed the little quarter back into
the game, and each time errors o
