The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-22

The Crimson machine rushed up ana down the field almost at will. scoring in every one of the four periods, and when play had ended 1t had rolled up the largest number of points ever registered against an Eli eleven. with tho exception Of the 1ss5 Yalc victory of 4s to 0. 1t was the rreatest score ever made in the sA games played since 1875.
 The one-sided score fails to givs tho slightest inklins of the thrilling scope of play or the remarkable strategy and Individual brilliancy. The eievens strus- sled back and forth the length of the sridiron. every second or third play bring ing the thousands to their feet so intense vas the excitement and 80 spectacular the play.
 Spectators were bewildered by the rapid successions of runs, passes and kicks which were turned into scores with almost as much rapidity, but always for liar vard Far from the least of these kale- discopic changes were the fumbes Yale contributed in the shadow of the Crlm- son goal posts, and winch Harvard turned into additional touchdowne.
 Wonderful Gathering
 The grip of the game held spellbound the greatest gathering of football en- thusiasts ever assembled for collegiate contest In this country. Row after TO" the cement tiers rose in great eiliptical sweeps, each bearing thousands of men and women, crowded shoulder to shoulder, while from the biue sky the sun snone with just enough power to take the chi-i ahu NoVPfnh0T afmOgDhere,
 The Yale cohorts remained loyal to the last though they realized that the Blue had been but foil for one oI the great est elevens of all time. Just how the Harvard team of 1914 classes with some of the famous combinations of former years was a matter of heated arguments to- night among veteran payers and experts. but careful analysis of todays play clearly indicated that no team, unaer modern rules, has reached the height or offensive and defensive strength shown by the Crimson this afternoon.
 Harvard scored by all methods except the safety Hardly had the contest opened before the Cambridge combination showed it's power. Just after the kickoff the Crimson took a Yaie punt on her own Coward line and started down the field. The advance broke through or around the Yale line for steady ga4ns until lnside the Blues 10-yard hne. Here forward
 
 Harvard struck savagely in the second quarter. Starting from it's own 4o-yard line, the team carried the ball In rap d fashion until Franclxe was given the pig skin for the final plunge.

 It was well they did, for Legore and Wilson. two of Yales fastest sprinters, were soon sweeping over the turf at great speed. They began to overhaul Cool fdge, but clever blocking and checking by Hardwicl, Mahan and Trumbull pro- tected the tiring runner until he had crossed the line for the third TOUCHDOWN, from which Hardwick kicked his first goal. In the h story of football, which goes back to 1873, but four longer runs have been made following tumble. and those were in the days when the field was longer than the present 1oo-yard dimen- uions. Harvard, with a big lead. set out to run up a record score, but the Yale fighting spirit was in evidence. although the play CTS were crudely prepared for the Crifn- sons perfected attack.
 Swept back steadily, they fought every foot until Mahan was forced to kick & field goal from the 25-yard mark, when Harvard's running attack been had been checked by a far defense and a 15-yard penayt for holding.
 The Crimson again scored quickly after the opening of the third quarter. During an exchange of punts a partly blocked kick gave Harvard the ball on Yaie's 20- yard line. The team carried the ball to the 1-yard The and then around left end for touchdown, from which HardwiclS kicked boal
