HARVARD TEARS VALE
Mahan Ron1ped, Around the Field at
 WilI-Score fl to O.

Another perfect Harvard football machine rolled over Yale's crude eleven at Cambridge Saturday after noon, defeating the Blue 4I to 0. in a game in which the Crimson team surpassed all previous scoring record against the Ellis. Before the powerful attack and defence of Captain Mahan's grtdiron warriors the Bulldog was helpless, and even the f1clxle goddess Of fortune that rode the Blues ban ner to victory at New Haven a week ago fled in alright to the shelter of the Crimson. Before this combina- tion the Elis' gridfron forces crumbled until the game ceased to be a contest and became procession of Harvard advances and touchdowns against which Yale fought in desperate but futile fashion.
 Although the fighting spirit which Tom" Shevlin the fighting spirit hich eleven just previous to the game with the Tiger was still in evidence it availed the Blue nothing against Har- wards Haughton taught team. The savage rushes and tackles of the Bull dog occasionally checked the Cam bridge advance for a 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 university would run up.
 Their hope of a record Crimson tally against the Blue was not disappointed, for before Captain Mahan and his teammates completed their final days work of the 1915 football season they by Harvard eleven against Yale ana the largest but one ever made in this Eastern football classic, which dates back to 1875. More than twen- ty years ago-in 1884 to be accurate Yale defeated Harvard.

Ed die" Mahan's team, which was even greater than that of the 1914 eleven under the leadership of Charley" Br1ckley, Harvard scored her first touchdown against Yale in the Stadi- um since that structure was erected twelve years ago. In addition, Cap tain Mahan closes football career with a wonderful display of gridiron abili- ty, during which he amassed, four down for a total of twenty nine points, which is said to be an individual rec ord for this series.
 Although. a search through the mus ty records of Harvard-Yale gridfron history may disprove thi sstatement the fact remains that not in many years has the annual meeting of the Blue and Crimson on the football field uncovered such a scintillating and elusive pigskin carrying star. Assisted by splendid team. Mahan romped around and through, the Eli eleven for gain after gain, apparently not a. bit hampered by. the slippery and uncer- tain footing of the stadium turf. He stood out above the other players o1 the Crimsoned machine. but Watson, King, Harte, <Boles and Soucy all shone in the perfect combination play of 4Haughton's gridiron steam roller. Across the line Scoville, Guernsey, Black, Way. Allen and Ctptain Wilson were the heroes of desperate, but futile stand against the chargers of Harvard.
 Although the weather conditions inn proved strictly according to forecast after the heavy storm of Friday, the afternoon was far from ideal for foot
