to 0 score over Yale Saturday just
about indicates the actual superiority
of the Cambridge eleven over the New
Haven combination.
1t is possible to single out individual
Yale players who equalled in. playing
ability their Harvard rivals. but there
is no comparison in the strength and
tactics of the two combinations con-
sidered as teams. From this view
point the Blue was outranked at every
stage.
Yale's offensive provided for a loose
ball attack. This dangerous method,
calling for the use of lateral n for
ward passes, worked brilliantly at
times, but often the sequence was
broken and then substantial gains
were lost on intercepted passes and
fumbles.

Against Harvard's less spectacular
attack, Yale could offer little defense.
