The defense of Harvard was almost

by a Harvard man and from then on
the Sons of Eli never had a chance.
Eddie Mahan was Great
Captain Eddie, Mahan of the winning
team was great in everything he did.
His clever running and ability to smash
through Yale's line resulted in five
touchdOwns for the Crimson and he
showed his wonderful ability to boot
the ball by kicking four goals.

that Harvard's aggrcssiveness and

Crimson Played True
The whole story of the game centers
1t elf in the fact that the Crimson
team had consistent and variegated
attack and was true and steady on the
defense. On the other hand, Yale
failed dismally to show anything like
real football attacking or defensive
playing. The Sons Of. Eli were slow
and awkward in charging the line and
fale's backs could not gain an inch OF
ground, while the ends were hopeIessly
