BOSTON, Nov. 21.-Power. precision,
and versatility by the Harvard football
team not only obliterated the Yale
eleven In the annual game In the stadi-
um. but the victory Of the conuuering
Crimson was by a more top-heavy score
than was made In the accurpulation Of
last years fat total. Harvard was again
resistless, with the most perfect Of
Crimson machines In history. and SO
far was Yale oxcelled and outciassed
In gridiron speed craftiness, concerted
effort and knowledge that Harvard won
by a score Of Al to o.
That Harvard should win by a big
score was not unexpected. The likeli-
hood OF that was considered as among
the probabilities. but that the high
water mark OF % set by the Crimson
a year ago. would be surpassed was not
thought OF. The present Harvard team
wasn't rated as the equal OF last year 8
eleven and II wasn't its equal. but 1t
had as much team play and polish and
dash as the 1914 aggregation. II not the
power, and not only. did fine work Of

Capt. Edward Mahan, the best foot

Harvard to It's biggest victory over

Harvard's points were all from touch
downs and the dependent goals. There
were six touchdowns and five goals

Mahan made 20 OF the points. That Is
a total Of football earnings greater than
Yale has made against Harvard In a
long stretch Of years.
Harvard never piled up as big a score
against Yale as yesterday, although in
1884 Yale beat Harvard. IS TO O.
The question OF superiority was set

touchdowns-12 points-in that period.
Yale opened spiritedly. and threatening

for a while in the fourth period. The
size Of the score was the only thing in
doubt after the first period. Harvard
had q po6ts by tho end Of ths first
half
In the second half Yale made It harder
work for Harvard. for that matter. The
outeiassed Ellis fought back COURAGEOUS
ly. II hopelessly. but weren't nearly as
good in speed or alertness as .hey were
against Princeton. They were at their
best then. with Harvard getting better
all the time. and on edge today.
The Cambridge tornado swirled
through Yale for points in the third
period and more in the fourth. making
n points in the frst half and II In the
second.
The Harvard scoring wasn't nearly as
copious In the second half. but never
theless. when the Harvard players and
machine did renew operations for an
other touchdown. the touchdown came
with>a thoroughness and fnality and
diversified attack that left little doubt
that the Crimson was a master Of the
bulldogs as earlier In the game.
