HARVARD EASILY
 DEFEATED YALE ELEVEN
Blue Team Shows Poorest of Football Throughout Game-BrickIey Proves
 Superiority.

Playing about the worst brand of football ever seen in championship match, the much-tOuted Yale team went laundering down to a 200 de- feat at the hands of the powerful and well-trained Harvard aggregation on Saturday, at Yale field, New Haven. Outplayed most of the time, lacking in any very definite plan of campaign end utterly at sea in emergencies the Blue inserted into the proceedings as glaring a series of fumbles and mis- plays as ever was staged by a second rate prep. school eleven. The Yale attack, with the exception of a few minutes at the latter part of the game, was practically futile. The much vaun- ted Yale defense was ripped and torn.
 Harvard spread her scoring over both salves of the game and fumbling was directly responsible for IT of the 20 points. In the first period Quarter back Wheeler of the Yale team gath cred in one of Felton's long punts only to allow it to slip out of his grasp when tackled by O'Brien on the Blues 2S yard line and allowing the speedy Storer to snatch the ball up and dash for touchdown. Hardwick kicked the goal. A few minutes later Wheeler again messed up another of Felton's kicks, allowing Harvard to recover the ball within striking distance of the goal and Brickley sent over a goal from the field from the 30 yard line.
 In the third period Lefty Flynn failed to hold the ball in his hands after it was sent to him from the toe of Felton, and Hitchcock, the big liar ward right tackle. nailed it on the Yale 20 yard line, from which point on the next play the mighty Brickley dashed for q touchdown, Hardwick again completing the play by lifting over a neat goal. Near the close of this period Brickley intercepted a forward pass and brought the ball down upon the Yale goal line again and a well exe- cuted Crimson pass placed the ball in position for Brickley to lift another goal over the bar from. the 20 yard line
 Only once did Yale have the ball within real striking distance of the Harvard line and that came after the Galy flashing bit of life well along in the last period. After a series of crashing attacks upon the Crimson line the ball was brought to the vis- itors yard line, but desperate brace by Harvard threw back the Ellis and the fall passed on downs.
 Charley Brickley lived up to his reputation and proved himself to be the foremost figure on the gridiron Saturday. After his wonderful work against the Tiger band a couple of weeks before he was looked upon to furnish the features. He did not dis appoint Twice he shot the ball over the bar for tallies and he scored one of the two touchdowns. He proved easily the fastest upon his feet of any of the players on the field and once he got loose there was trouble. His crashes /against the line were swift and fierce and he never stopped going until the Blue. tacklers practically smothered him.
 His partners in the backfeld also shone, Captain Wendell living up tc his nickname of the Human Bullet in no uncertain manner, and the nim. ble toed and speedy Hardwick proved his right to a place in the greates backield of the season. F'elton's work both at his regular position at end and whenever he was called back fol the bunting, was superb.
 For Yale, only three men stood ou- with any prominence, Bomeisle. Ketcham and Pumpelly. While thu former was actively engaged in play. ing his end.
