Crushing Defeat Handed to
Yale Before Assembled Thou
sands at New Bowl.
COOLIDGE ONE OF HEROES
Haughton's Machine One of the
MarveIs of Gridiron History
for All Time.

Harvard's sweeping victory over
Yale by a score of 800 at New Haven
on Saturday made the football fans
throughout the country gasp for a
moment, then stop to pinch them
selves to see IL it were really true,
following which many an individual
sat down to ponder just what a great
record that same Harvard team could
have piled up had it been intact all
season. Without a doubt, the Grim
son machine, developed and turned out
by Coach Percy Haughton, is one of
the most perfect football contrivances
ever produced on any college gridiron.
For a team of so many individual
stars-Mahan, Francke, Hardwick,
Coolidge, Logan, Trumbull-and one
can count the whole lineSp-to play
so cleverly as q team, both defensive
ly and on the aggressive, Is almost a
phenomenon in sport.
Yale's Wanted attack, it's lateral
passing and it's wonderful open play
was abruptly broken up by that Har-
ward stonewall defense, while the bar
riers the blue line tried to place in the
way of the Harvard machine were
swept away as so many Straws in the
path of q cyclone.
1t was the most crushing defeat
Harvard has administered this sea-
son, and the fact that it was against
her worst rival and at time when
Yale was dedicating her massive new
bowl before crowd of 10000 specta-
tors adds sweet nectar to the cup of
Joy which Harvard has quaffed since
the great victory of Saturday.
Princeton stands indicated for it's
20 TO defeat suffered at the hands of
the Cambridge machine. 1t was in
that game that Harvard first showed
her real strength, and it made Prince
ton look puny, but when Yale comes
along a fortnight later and receives a
worse repulse the sting is not so keen
for Princeton.
Brickley Gets Into the Game.
AS was expected and predicted
Brickley got into the game, not be-
cause he was needed but as matter
of sentiment. This Is Brickley's last
year in college and Saturday was the
final opportunity for him to perform
for his alma mater. Brickley dropped
back as If to try for goal, but 1t
was only ruse and moment later
Yale was caught mapping, for Hard

forward pass.
Harvard has beaten Yale three
times in succession now, but has been
unable to do anything in the touch
down line up to Saturday. Four
touchdowns were scored by Harvard
and Manah made one goal from the
field. HardwiclS kicked two goals
from touchdowns and Briclxley kicked
one. Two touchdowns were scored
by Hardwick and Francke and one
bv ColIidge, whose sensational dash
almost the full length of the field Is
now a matter of history.

Many Harvard Stars viii Go.
Harvard will lose Brickley, Trum-
bull, Pennock, Francke, Hardwick, L.
] Coolidge and Logan by graduation.
This is a mighty fine raft of talent to
be taken from one team in one year,
but the Harvard students are not
worrying about next season. They are
still celebrating Saturdays victory.
The 1915 class has the rare distinction
of leaving college without seeing
Harvard football team defeated by
Yale. Mahan is almost certain to be
elected to the captaincy. The fresh
man team includes some likely look
ing material, among the stars being
Robinson, who led the team, who is
a star at drop kicking. Harvard has
much promising material for every
position except the ends. 1t is prob
able that Soucy will be shifted when
the time comes to make plans for
1915.
ss
Yale Loses Six Men.
Yale will lose Talbot. Brann. Aims
worth and Stillman by graduation
among the variety squad. Substitutes
Carter and Pumpelly will also be lost.
II is almost certain that Frank Hiney
will be retained as head coach at
Yale, although the captain has the
final word on this matter. Aleck
Wilson, quarterback. and Carroll
