CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 2O-
 Another Harvard football machine
 crushed Yale, 4 to 0, today sur 1 passing all previous scoring rec ords against the Ellis.
 Although the fighting spirit which l Tom Shevlin imparted to the Yale eleven just previous to the victory over Princeton was still in evidence, i it availed the Blue nothing. The
 savage rushes of the Bulldog occa- siOnally checked the Cambridge ad- l vance for a moment, but after the 1 initial period of the game the result
 was never in doubt and interest among the Harvard clans was cen tered in the size of the score that the
 home university eleven would run up Their hopes of a record Crimson tally against the Blue were not dis
 appointed, for before Captain Mahan and his teammates completed their final days work of the 1915 football season they recorded the largest to-
 tai ever scored by a Harvard ele- ven against Yale and the largest, but one ever made in this eastern foot
 ball classic which dates back to 1875.
 More than twenty years ago, in 1884,
 to be accurate, Yale defeated liar
 ward, AS to o, and had today's game
 continued for q few minutes longer
 these figures would have, in all
 probability, been equalled or sur
 passed.
 As it was. lne contest established several new records for the series, for during the triumph of Captain Eddie Mahan's team, which was even greater than that of the 1914 eleven under the leadership of Charley .3rickley, Harvard scored her first touchdown against Yale in the sta dium since that structure was erected twelve years ago. In addition. Cap tain Mahan closed his football career with a wonderful display of gridiron ability, during which he made four touchdowns and five goals from touchdowns for a total of 29 points, which is said to be an individual record for this series.
 Mahan stood out above the other i players of the Crimson machine but ] Watson, King, Hart, Boles and { Soucy all shone in the perfect com bination play of Haughton's gridiron | roller. Across the line, Scovil, Guern- | sey. Black. Way, Allen and Captain | Wilson were the heroes of desper- { ate but unavailing stand against the | charges of Harvard.
 On the opening break of the game | the Ellis, taking a Harvard punt near ! midfield rapidly worked the ball ] into Crimson territory until the Blue | legions were frantically calling for a | touchdown. Here a tumble gave the ! ball to the CrimsOns and on the first line up Mahan sent it whirling down | the field with powerful kick to which the wind added impetus. Bing- ham fumbled the catch and Harte, after three attempts scooped up the ball and ran 8 yards for a touch down, from which Mahan missed the goal.
 Before the stunned adherents of the Blue had time to recover their the Harvard eleven was it work again. Taking the ball on a Yale punt the Cambridge team started | march upfield which did not end lntiI Mahan had crossed the line. During this attack Harvard gave an nkling of the clever strategy by which she was to defeat Yale so de- ,isively. Delayed passes hidden ball actics and other deceptive methods iirected by Quarterback Watson bewildered the Ellis who were thrown off or drawn aside while jig holes were opened in their line, trough which, the Harvard runners omped for big gains.
 In the second period Harvard dded another II points on two ouchdowns and resultant goals. With he ball in her possession on Yales 7-yard line, the Mahan brigade moved steadily toward the goal until within 13 yards of the line.
 During the sixty minutes of play Harvard rushed an equal number Of ines for a total distance of 264 ards, to Yale's 57 rushes for 175 ards. Harvard kicked from scrim- lage 14 times for a total of 566 | ards. while Yale in the same num-
