| The Yale team played fully 40 per cent
| better than against Princeton one week
ago. The backs picked their openings
with more precision, started faster ana
/ carried of their plays with more dash
and daring. There was still a lack or
finish, however. as compared TO Harvard.
! The attack lacked the scope and variety
and the forward passing appeared hap
hazard and somewhat crude.
Bad Start for Wheeler.
| Wheeler, the Yale quarterback, got of
/ badly by misjudging Felton's hrst low
| twisting punt This increased the nerv-
BUSINESS already apparent and his team
suffered Yale kicked of, but because OF
| this misjudsed punt the Blue team was
quickly forced into Its own territory
( whereas II should have been carrying the
/ fight to Harvard. 4 poor punt by Flynn
/ which travelled scarcely ten yards and
went out OF bounds on Yales 34-yard line,
/ gave the Crimson It's hrst opening Brick
! ley nissed a try at goal, however, and
/ danger for the moment was avsrted
! Then came more fumblins, and while
! Flynn gained no less than thirty-fvs
yards in three exchanges Of punts with
| FELTON,, so that Yale was gradually fore
! ing Harvard back. the tide suddenly
turned when Wheeler, after catching
punt, dropped the ball as Hardwick
1 tackled, giving Storer the chance to snap
I it up and race thirty yards for touch
down
| II was not LONG before more loose hand
| ling Of the ball and a costly penalty gave
Harvard another chance to strike, and
this time Brickley kicked a goal while
standing on the 3S-yard line.
The second period was hard fought, with
neither team gaining much of an ad-
vantage. Brickley may have missed
touchdown by falling over Dave Fultz,
| ar1c
on wide end run and gaining practically
a clear field Following this he missed
another try at a goal from the field.
A Nightmare for Yale.
The third quarter was a nightmare TOR
Yale. 1t was not one minute old before
Flynn funbled a punt, and a Harvard
man recovered the ball on Yals's 1S-yard
line Brickley thsn dashed around Avery's
end for a touchdown and Hsrdwick kicked
+ the goal after the punt out.
A chance for Yale came a few moments
later Wendell fImbled and Spalding re-
covered the ball with what looked like
clear field, but Was turned over by div
! ing tackle just as he "a: under way. FOL

! running forty yards before being tackled

| Brickley did not fell
| The fourth period was all Yale. With
| undaunted courage and In the face Of sure
| defeat, the home team carried the fight
to Harvard, and showed, all too late, as
previously told, what has been looked for
i all the season--a hard driving attack for
a steady march Of sixty yards. 1t availed
nothing, but it saved Yale something out
Of ire wreck Of blasted hopes
| Getting back into town after the game
was a bigger problem than going out in
the morning Then the crowd went out
! early, but at the sound OF the final
whistle there was a wild scramble for the
| exits. The surface cars, such as were
available. were swamped IN a jitfy. and
an ever increasing army Of humanity took
| possession OF the road and marched back
to town. effectively checking ali kinds Of
vehicular traffic.

ate to college not Boosting a football
team. Professor Wendell T. Bush led the
faculty representation, and Harry A..
Fisher graduate director of athletics
was the prime figure in the alumni gath
erins. With SO many Yale and Harvard
men begging for tickets. the question
naturally came TO mind. How came
