ing served with toast to make GRIM
4 son holiday
! In front of the old state house here
is big wheel, sunk In the sidewalk,
marking the spot where the first pat
riot fell in the British massacre of
| revolutionary days. But it would take
such flock Of wheels to mark spots
where the New Haven patriots fell
this afternoon THAT historical societies
would despair OF filing the order.
Before more than $4,000 persons
TANNED and crammed into Harvard 3
big stadium, Captain Eddie Ma
han led his men to victory over the
| Blue. 1t was the worst defeat Yale
! ever met at the hands of her ancient
foe. Only once during the long stretch
! of years since the first Yale and Har-
, piled up such an imposing score
against the yanqutshed. That was
back in 1885. Yale then did the snake
dance about the goal posts The score
that year was 4S to 0, with the Blue
on the long end.
Today Yale was willing. The Blue
team went down fighting. Grit, de.
4 termination and luck carried them
through against Princeton, but this
afternoon they needed something to
! fight with besides a determined spirit
/ and didn't have it.
| Crimson Showed Everything.
Harvard showed everything that
! Yale did not have, varied attacks and
defense and speed. Not until the third
/ period Of the game was a single for
ward pass tried and then Harvard I'M
corked 1t. In the early sessions the
Crimson worked fake kick formations
double and delayed passes and shifts
that bewildered the Blue. Great holes
were opened up in the Yale defense
I by trick formations and the Crimson
backs paraded through yards at clip
with the Eli defense caught fiat foot
ed In the second period Mahan
went straight through center for a
I touchdown from the IL yard line with.
: out man touching him.
/ On a shift formation the Harvard
forwards simply swung the Yale line
open In two parts. A, motor, van
could have been driven through the
space left open, and Captain Eddie
romped through without even lowering
his head He had dropped as though
I for a try for field goal and when he
reached the line of scrimmage was
going so fast 1t is doubtful II any
| Yale men ever saw him.
/ First Touchdown.
| To Harte, the Crimson right end
! fell the honor of scoring the first
touchdown Harvard ever made against
Yale in the Harvard stadium. It was
in the first period. Mahan sent long
punt to Bingham. The Yale back
Efumbled It, Harte was directly under
the bali as It sailed down the field anrl
when it popped out of Bingham's
hands the Crimson man grabbed it
He raced away over the 25 yards to
/ the goal and the Crimson scoring
was under way. Mahan put over q
second touchdown for the period
Then came his IL yard dash followed
by Kings touchdown after the most
sensational sprint OF the game.

J It was Captain Mahan's last game
flor Harvard and he won place In
1.-THE Crimson's hall of fame. He scor
ed a total of four touchdowns IN the
game. He missed kicking goal but
;once. that being after Harte crossed
the lire for the first Of Harvard's six
times.
There was no Yale luck today. In
the middle Of the first period the
Blues best bid for scoring was can
celIed. Otis Guernsey made driving
tackle on King as the latter went out
side on Yale's 10 yard line, and both
were thrown against the low board
siding In front of the Yale stand
Guernsey failed to get up. Time was
taken out and the Blues great kicker
was forced to leave the game with
an injured right arm.
Little Hope for Yale.
From then on Yale had little hope
of a score of any sort. In the las,
period two forward passes and some
sterling running by Waite carried the
