Alas, Yale did fsUi naW even the
Shevlin psychological punch. Those
who accepted tho Princeton game as
forerunner of That might occur

themselves for permitting the Yale

A press stand wag thought up an
appropriate interview for Frank Hin.

Yale, as the game was drawing to a
close. II is not likely that the inter.

Hinkey. For fear that II may be lost
to the world, II is given here in its
imaginary form:

of the credit for coaching the Yale
team from Mr.. Sheylin. The honor
Is all his"
Strictly as football game, then,
this contest was not much But, new.
ertbeless. II had all the life and color
OF any Harvard-YaIe gridiron grapple.
II drew the prettiest, girls in all the
world and IL brought out the reddest
Flooded men. and though great was
the fall OF Yale. the game furnish.
ed wonderful spectacle.
There were several incidents that
brought the spectators up standing
with yells in their throats. too, nota-
bly, the run of Harte to a touch
down In the early stages of the game,
But after touchdowns got little too
common to cause any vast excitement,
the spectators could only sit and mar
vel at Mahan and the machine that
Haughton had wrought.
Theoretically the game did not car.
ry with II the championship of the
East. as Harvard has been defeated
by Cornell. but the championship of
the Big Three was at stake and that
was enough TO make it worth while.
Yale's sudden revival and her de-
feat of Princeton had given Yale men
new hope and until the close Of the
first period today it seemed that the
hope was justified.
Harvard's squad was the first to
appear, but the Yale bunch trotted on
the damp field almost immediately
afterward. At 2 o'clock Alex Wilson
and Mahan, the rival captains, met In
the center Of the field with Nate
Tufts. the referee, and after a brief
consultation Tufts Tipped q silver coin
high in the air. Mahan won the toss
and picked the north goal, getting the
advantage OF the wind
Guernsey Kicks on. Nrse
Guernsey toed up the ball and kick
ed OF for Yale Boles took thes ball
on the bounce, but was dropped be-
fore he had gone very far, and Har-
yard kicked again, Van Nostrand maxi
ing fair catch on Yale's 35-yard line.
After a brief scrimmage Yale punt
ed the ball into Harvard territory,
where a penalty for holding finally
put the ball on Harvard's five-yard
line and compelled the crimson to
kick. Mahan made terrific punt OF
fully fifty yards, Guernsey making a
fair catch. Alex Wilson galloped %
yards through the crimson. but on the
next play Bingham fumbled the ball,
which was recovered by King on Har-
wards 25yard line.
Mahan again kicked, the ball drop
ping 40 yards beyond hts toe to Yales
S0-yard line.
Bingham was under the ball as 1t
turned in the wind, but dropped 1t and
Harte, coming down the field with
terrific burst of speed, grabbed up the.
bounding leather. The Harvard man
also fumbled for minute; but never
completely lost his clutch On the ball
and the next moment he was bound
ing over the blue goal line for a
touchdown. No Yale man was ever
close to him as he made his recovery
and he had clear field before him.
Mahan missed his attempt at a goal
from touchdown due to the tricky
wind.
From the center of the field Har-
ward began a drive which carried
through Yale,s left tackle to Yale's
30-yard line. A dash by Watson, the
Harvard quarter, put the ball on
Yale's 10-yard line and then Eddie
Mahan logged it five yards more Yale
was penalized for holding half the
distance to her goal line, leaving just
about another yard to go and Mahan
snatched a poor pass of his shoe top
and carried the ball across, running
under the goal posts.
This time Mahan kicked with better
Judgment and added another point to
the Harvard score. Early in the sec.
ond period Harvard made another
march to win fifteen yards of the Yale
goal, the New Haven team having
now shifted to the other end Of the
field.
There after several scrimmages Har-
ward pulled off marvelously quick
double pass and put the ball in Ma
hans hands and the big back crushed
through the very center of the Yale
defense with the queer twisting mo.
ton that marks his running and plant.
ed the ball behind the posts for Har.
wards third touchdown. 1t was a
great play well executed.
All through this march the agility
of the crimson carriers of the ball,
including the tackles, was wonderful.
Soon afterward almost identically
the same play in the middle of the
field gave the ball to King and the
Boston boy lodged his way through
the Yale players now scattered wide
between him and the Yale goal to an.
