HARVARD'S COACH ERRORS LOST CRIMSON THE GAME

"On an analysis of the play Harvard was much more successful in their at- tack than was Yale. but this advan- Htage was completely offset by the er- TOTS which Harvard made. As I have already mentioned, Corbett's critical huff of Yale's punt on Yale's 40 yard line, in the first period was particu- larly disastrous. Again, in the sec ond period Harvard's holding cost 30 yards in that on that rush Wendell had taken the ball 15 yards to Yale's 20 yard line Instead of having the ball at that point, Harvard with 15 yard penalty was placed on Yale'S 45 yard line. As an offset to Harvard s advantage in the rushing game Yale's kicking with the one exception of Howe'S kick from his own yard line in the fourth period was beautifully executed and their handling of punts was without blemiSh throughout the whole game" says the Head Coach Percy Haughton of the Harvard foot ball team.
 As in past years Yale's secondary defense, especially Field and Morris, was particularly effective. Several times Harvard's backs shot through the line clear only to be tackled af- ter gain of only four or five yards by Yale's backs. Harvard's defense was also stubborn as, with the excep-
 
 Daly in the first period, Harvard all ways had the Yale runner thoroughly covered.
 The game as a whole was a splen- didly fought contest. Both teams played, hard, clean, but rough foot ball. Very little new football was at tempted by either team, Yale not once attempting a forward pass or an on- side kick, while Harvard with the ex- ception of WiggleSworth'S pass to Lewis was not successful in her at tempts at open play.
 For Yale, Howe played brilliant game Not only did he recover sev- eral difficult punts, but he ran his team with rare judgment. Field also deserves mention for his ssplendid de- fensive play. Captain Daily was a great leader and his run of g yards was beautifully executed.
 Captain Wilmington of Harvard played a fine game and was ably supported by Smith and Lewis. Cor bett ran well with the ball and was once almost clear of the entire Yale team on Howe's kick in the first per fod. His two fumbles, however, were very costly.
 Wendell was Harvard's most con- sistent ground gainer in fact both on offense and defense he played fault less game. Mckay also deserves great praise for the manner in which he broke up Yale's plays. Both Fish CT and Minot were effective in open ing holes for the Harvard backs, and also several times were through the line when Yale attacked their terri tory.
 The new rules stood the test ex- tremely we'll, in that only once during the entire play was time taken out fo-- an injured player, and no player was compelled to leave the game on account of injuries. Furthermore, all though the penalties were frequent they were given entirely for offside play and holding. The Harvard team in particular, was the most frequent offender in this respect. but in jus tice to them it should be remember ed that they rushed the ball many more times than did Yale, and were therefore more often subject to the above mentioned penalties.
 The game, as a whole, showed how a marked superiority in offensive strength could be held off and equa- Iized by a thorough execution of the fundamental principles of football. Harvard rushed brilliantly, but made vital mistakes at crucial points. On inc other hand Yale played consistent and correct football from beginning to end.
