sure the Harvard eleven was at work
again. Taking the ball on a Yale punt,
the Cambridge team started a march
up neid which did not end until Aahan
had crossed the line. During this at
tack Harvard gave an inkling Of the
clever strategy by which she was to de-
feat Yale SO decisiyely Delayed
passes. hidden bali tactics and other
deceptive methods adopted by Quar-
terback Watson completely bewildsred
the Ellis, who were thrown on or drawn
aside while big holes were opened in
their line, through which the Harvard
runners romped for big gains.
: In the second period Harvard added
another II points on two touchdowns
and resultant goals. With the BAN in
her possession on Yale'S 47-yard line
the Mahan brigade moyed steadily
toward the goal until within IS yards
OF the line. Here the Blue forwards
suspected forward pass, but instead
the ball was both delayed and hidden
In handling until Mahan was able to
slip through the widespread defense
for q scoring dash.
The fourth score was eafned along
similar lines. although far more spec
tacularly. King was given the sphe-
roid after the Ellis had been baffied
by the passing tactics in the Harvard
backneid. and, skirtfng Yale's left end,
ran 6s yards for q touchdown in the
very corner Of the field. Mahan kicked
the goal.
In the third period the Crimson show
ed another method of attack. Gaining
the bail on Yaie's 21-yard line as the
down, Mahan reeled OF yards
through center. which. followed by a
lateral pass, Watson to Coolidge, put
the ball on Yale's 4-yard line, and in
four rushes the touchdown was scored.
Mahan carried the ball and kicked the
goal.
Yale's Fruitless Efforts.
Yale made a great effort to score in
this period. using q series Of short and
long forward passes. which for q time
broke up the Harvard defense. In fact,
one perfect pass from Waite to Wilson
sent the Yale captain over the Harvard
line, but the touchdown was not al
lowed and the ball was brought back
for holding In tie Yale line.
1t was this passing game that paved
the way for the flnai Harvard score In
the ball and ran to Yale's s2-yxrd line.
From this point forward pass gain
ed Is yards. and them McKinlock
plunged his way to within 3 yards Of
the goal. Again Mahan carried the ball
over and kicked the goal. bringing the
score UP to Il to o, where 1t remained
until the end Of the game few min
