CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Novem-
Der 2o.-Another perfect Harvard
foot ball machine rolled over
Yale's crude eleven here this
afternoon, defeating the Blue Al
to o, in 4 game in which the Grim
son team surpassed all previous
scoring records against the Els.
Before the powerful attack and
defense OF Capt Mahan's gridiron

less, and even the tickle Goddess
of Fortune. that rode the Blue
banner to victory against Prince
ton at New Haven week ago,
fled in alright to the shelter of
the Crimson. Before this combi-
nation the Els forces crumbled
until the game ceased to be con-
test and became a procession of
Harvard advances and touch
downs, against which Yale fought
in desperate, but futile, fashion.
Although the fighting spirit which
Tom Shevlin impaired to the Yale
eleven Just prior to the battle with the
Tiger was still in evidence, it availed
the Blue nothing against Harvard's
Haughton-instructed team. The saw
age rushes and tackles of the Bulldog
occasionally checked the Cambridge
advance for moment, but after the
initial period of the game the result
was never in doubt and interest among
the Harvard clans was centered in the
size of the score that the home uni
versity eleven would run up.
Their hopes of a record Crimson tally
against the Blue were not disappointed,
for before Capt. Mahan and his team
mates completed their final days work
Of the 1915 foot ball season they re-
corded the largest total ever scored by

the largest but one ever made in this
eastern foot ball classic, which dates
back from 1875. More than twenty

Several New Records.
As it was, the contest established sew
eral new records for the series, for
during the triumph of Capt Eddie Ma

than that Of the 1914 eleven, under the
leadership Of Charley Brickley. Har-
ward scored her first touchdown against

ture was erected. twelve years ago. In
addition Capt. Mahan closed his foot
ball career with a wonderful display of
grfdiron ability. during which he made
four touchdowns and five goals from
touchdowns for a total of 20 points,
which Is said to be an individual rec
ord for this series.
Although search through the musty
records of Harvard-Yale gridiron his
tory may disprove this statement, the
fact remains that not in many years
has the annual meeting of the Blue
and Crimson on the foot ball field un-

Chilling Gale Blew.
Although the weather conditions i'm
proved strictly according to forecast
after the heavy storm OF Friday, the
afternoon was far from ideal for foot
ball. either from rhe standpoint Of
player or spectator. A chilling gale
blew out Of the west, carrying the
punted ball at varying speeds, and
banning slants. which made perfect
handling of it almost impossible. The
wind spared none of the $4,000 spec

heavy wooden wraps, and many were
forced to leave seek sheltered
hooks from which they saw only por-
tions Of the contest.
The gridiron was wet and slippery
from the heavy rain of yesterday and at
times the players lost their footing.
The biting wind and the gray sky could
not chill the enthusiasm Of the Har-
ward adherents, however. once the game

Hardly had the thousands settled
