Mahan Star Of the Game
with His Brilliant Runs
lie Gore Fights
in Vain.

matter? On the next play that wonder
I halfback Mahan sliced past the right
/ end for four yards, and Francke made
} it his business TO carry the leather over
for the score. Hardwick kicked the
goal.
Unable to check Harvard, Captain
Talbot decided to try his attacking
strength once more. Yale received the
kickoff. With wind at his back,
Mahan drove the ball over the goal line
and il was carried out 70 the 2O-yard
mark and put in play. A double pass
Knowles TO Wilson worked for short
| gain, and then pretty triple pass
Wilson 10 lie Gore 20 Carter resulted
in a 35-yard advance. Harvard was
thrown into momenetary confusion, and
Wilson struck while the iron was hot.
/ Talbot went out and took pass from
lie Gore for Il 15-yard gain. An assault
on the line ground out nine yards. but
then a lateral pass-Le Gore to Knowles
was intercepted by Weston, and It
was Harvard's ball again.
An exchange of punts followed, with
Mahan outkicking lie Gore. Mahan got
nine wards around "Red" Brann's Sta
tion. He was nit so hard that he
fumbled, but Watson fell on the ball.
Another exchange Of punts put Har-
~ard in possession of the ball on their
4O-yard mark Two plunges into the
Yale line netted little gain, and again
Mahan sent the leather booming down
tie field 10 where lie Gore stood on the
12-yard line. Yale then uncovered a
powerful, we'll conceived attack and
started a little march down the field.
A forward pass TO Brann from lie
Gore worked for l2-yard gain. and a
lateral pass Scovil TO Answorth-
gained two more. Wilson bored through
for eight yards until King stopped
him, and after Scovil had been repulsed
lie Gore broke out on a 27-yard run
through a broken field, which relieved
the fading Yale hopes and made Yale
men cheer to the echo. A moment later
the period ended.
Fourth Period.
Harvard sent her full strength into
the game as the last period started.
Bradlee replaced King, Logan resumed
lis place at quarterback, and Parson
returned to left tackle in place of Cur
tis There was cause for this return of
the regulars, for Yale had the ball on
ne 14-yard line with a second down.
A lateral pass, Wilson to lie Gore,
gained nine yards, and the leather was
down on the 5-yard mark.
It looked as though the Blue could
not be cheated this time. but il was.
Scoyil made two yards over the line.
Finding the avenues blocked, it was
neck or nothing with him. 50 over he
went Twice more he was hurled back.
and the third time he fumbed a rather
bad pass from White and was brought
to earth after having lost fifteen yards.
pass 70 lie Gore gained seven yards,
but it was Harvard's ball on the 70
yard line. So ended Yale's last chance
TO score.
Several exchanges Of punts followed,
with little material advantage 20 either
team. Finally Harvard took the leath-
or and did not rest until it was over
the last chalk line. Hardwick ran
around Yale's right end for a dozen
yards, and Bradlee and Mahan added
eight more IN two trials. Then Mahan
shot a forward pass to Watson and
twelve more strides were made toward
the Blue line. Mahan tore off sixteen
yards at right tackle.
shout arose at Mahan's feat a
burst of cheers went up from Yale
when he was tackled But the roar
that greeted Captain Charles Edward
Brickley, of Harvard, when he trotted
out on the field to play his last game
of football made the others seem as
whispers. He replaced Francke. Il
was the psychological moment for
Brickley 10 enter the struggle. lt was
first down on Yale's 16-yard line, and
the game was growing old. Every last
man in the Yale bowl expected Brick
ley to try drop kick-every man but
Percy Haughton end the Harvard
squad.
The purpose of Brickley's entry be-
came apparent directly. Watson called
for a kick formation, and Bricklev
dropped back "Here she goes," was
the cry of the crowd. II the crowd
meant the ball, "she" surely went, and
quite distance, too, but il was safely
tucked under the arms of Eddie Mahan,
who bucked through for a gain of
eleven yards and was finally stopped on
the 5-yard line.
Another slash at the line added four
yards, and three feet only separated
Harvard from another touchdown. On
the next lunge, however. holding was
detected in the Harvard line. and they
next play Mahan threw q pass to jeff
Coolidge, and once more the leather
was five strides away from the last
mark
Watson then called for a shift for
nation, on which the backs criss-
crossed, and while Yale was wonder-
ing he dropped back and threw the
ball TO Hardwick. "Tack" was out
clear and free, running like the wind.
He caught the leather on the goal line
and continued on over without anv
trouble.
While 10000 beloved their unstinted
applause Captain Brickley, the wizard
of kicking, toed the ball over for the
last point of the game. The score was
36 to o. and there it stayed Satisfied
that he had closed his college career
by helping 10 defeat Yale, Brickley
trotted or the field.
A few moments later the game ended,
and al that remained was the hilarious
snake dance and the wanton destruc-
tion Of Harvard hats.
