Yale Team Put Up Desperate
Battle, But Was Swamped
I. Under a Score Of Al to 0
on the Field at Cambridge

!! Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 20.--Yale's
valiant team that fiouted the critics
and defeated Princeton was unequal
to the task Of adding the crimson
scalp to its collection and went down
In honorable defeat before the Har-
ward eleven today by score Of Al
to 0.
Yale fought with true Yale cour-
age. Even In the face Of overwhelm-
Ing defeat. the sons Of Ell struggled
gamely, and when the final gun
sounded they were contesting every
inch Of ground as desperately as they
were when the FIRST kick-off started
the game.
Harvard was q much superior team.
The figures composing the score. In
fact. accurately represented the
strength OF the rival elevens. In de-
fense and offense the crimson easily
outclassed the grim Yale fighters; in
everything but gameness Yale was
hopelessly outclassed.
Captain Mahan added to his repu-
tation won on many hard fought
iields. Seldom did he fail to add ma
terIal yardage when he carried ths
ball. and his work on the defensive
was perfect. AS usual. Mahan's tot

Furthermore, he added point aftei

With Mahan, Halfback King ol

tby Oultcu Kicos LcaScu Whc.f
Paris, Nov. 20.---Monastir, In
southern Serbia. has fallen, accord
ing to reliable reports today.
With this city evacuated and
crushed, 1t is believed. that the re-
sistance OF the southern Serbs
against the Bulgars has ended. In
the future. It is expected, the French
and British must do the fighting
there. while the Serb guerillas are
campaigning separately, harassing
the enemy as vigorously as possible.
Thus far no official announcement
OF the city's fall has been made. but
reports of the Bulgar victory are
from reliable sources.
The Bulgars are not expected. how
ever. to press their advantage much
farther south Of Monastir, because 1t
is less than 10 miles from the Greek
border, and the Bulgars probably will
be careful not to violate Grecian
neutrality.
Northwest Of Monastir the French
and Bulgarians are reported in des-
perate combat. The French have
resumed their movement toward
veles. but have not claimed gains in
| It.
Bulgar forces have hurled their
forces against Strumnitsa, only to be
repulsed. They are now trying by
counter-attacks to recoup their
losses. a
