A point in which Harvard had a marked
advantage and displayed marked su-
periority was in punting. FELTON,. the

ragged in handling the other side punt

too long for his ends, and the Yale backs

\ Curious Play,

featured by two remarkable PLAYS Stand

dlagonally to an end some distance from
the scrimmage line. II was daring play.

by Smith and Bomeisler. Bomeisler as

and tackled surely Smith was not as
speedy, but followed the ball closely and
was in many plays. Sheldon played an
exceedingly good game after Bomeisler
was hurt and like Smith was hard to fool
Avery of Yale tackled hard and did well
enough except that he was boxed several
times by trick plays FELTON, was in much
the same boat as Avery. his play not being
as consistent as Smiths. bur for oil that
he made several tackles which prevented
the runner from getting past the scrim-
mage line.
Yale was better in tackle play than
Harvard. but whatever advantage there
was i'll the playing Of the guards was with
Harvard. More holes were opened up in
the Harvard line at tao ke than in the
Yale line at the same place. Hitchcock
and Leslie the Yale backs. found slits
through which they made scme of their
best gains When there was an opening
there it was big one. At such times
Hitchcock was drawn out Of position by
the shift massing on the other wing.

lauer outplayed him. Gallauer was one

Storer was aggressive and persistent and

Between Leslie and McDevitt at guard
there was a slambang scrap with honors
even. McDevitt was better on defence,
but Leslie covered more ground and did
more tack ling in the open. In actual line

Ketcham. Yale's crack centre, marred
his work by the atrocious pass he made
