yard line, but the Yale captain charged
back twenty yards before being stopped,
just when it looked ss il he might get
clear. As usual, Yale was held IN the
leash by ineffective rushing plays, so
Savage punted.
Mahan did not waste much time or
effort or his running attack, but quick
ly returned the punt TO Yale's 30-yard
line. Scovil squeezed through an open
ing for five yards, and Savage added
four more, but just when it looked as
if something might be accomplished
Dadmun threw Savage for a loss. On
the next play the last man fumbled a
pass for a punt and lost sixteen yards,
so that Harvard took the ball on downs
deep in Yale territory-on the 2l-yard
line, to be exact
Captain Mahan gained five yards on
triple lateral pass, and then Watson
shot pretty forward pass to I. Coo
lidge for ten yards, which landed the
bail on Yale's 6-yard line. Mshan was
stopped on wide end run, but King
TANNED his way along for four yards,
and then the Harvard captain slipped
off tackle and shot over the line for
the Crimson's fifth touchdown. He
kicked the goal, and the score mounted
to "a to 0.
Once again Yale elected to receive the
kickoff. Wilson took it on the 6-yard
line, but raced away for thirty before
being checked. Two plunges and for
ward pass Melted only eight yards, so
that Savage punted well down the field
TO Harvard's 8-yard line.
Mahan returned the ball after one
running play, and got fair distance
against the wind, but on the first line

Captain Wilson, who, picking the ball
out Of the air. and lodging two tacklers,
raced away twenty yards and crossed
the line with a Harvard man hanging
on his shoulders. 1t was clean cut
touchdown from a well executed play,
but some Yale man was ofr-side and il
all went for nothing.
Encouraged by the success of this
forward pass, two more were tried in
quick succession. the first for gain of
two yards. The second, however, was
intercepted By Boles, and Mahan quick.
ly punted the ball out of danger.
Just before the third period ended,
however, Watson fumbled a punt by
Waite, and Captain Wilson recovered
the ball for Yale on Harvard's 40-yard
line. On the first play as the last pc
Rod opened Waite shot forward pass
to Higginbotham for six yards and fol-
lowed with one to Scovil for ten yards.
A couple of rushes and a five-yard
penalty for ofside against the Grim
son found the ball on Harvard's 6-yard
line, and once again il looked as If
Yale might remove some of the sting
Two plunges. however, failed to gain
an inch, and then Yale was penalized
FIVE yards.
On the next play what was meant
for lateral pass was fumbled, and
McKinlock, who had been substituted
for Boles, was off like flash and ran
forty-five yards. One of the officials,
however, ruled that il was an incom-
pleted forward pass, so the ball was
brought back.
Ames, who in the mean time had
been substituted for Savage, could not
gain an inch against Harvard's sturdy
defence, so that Neville as a last re-
sort dropped back to the 20-yard line
and missed an easy drop kick.
That ended Yale's last chance Two
or three exchanges of punts followed
and finally Rollins intercepted one of
fale's forward passes and ran twenty
five yards 10 the Blues 32-yard line.
This opened the way TO the sixth and
last touchdown. Yale stopped two run
ming plays, but was fooled by for
ward pass, Robinson to Soucy, which
netted thirteen yards.
Mckinlock. from a fake kick for
nation, found a hole off tackle for
eight yards. and the next minute made
It first down on Yale's 5-yard line.
The same player tore his way along
for two yards more, and then Nahan
plunged over like bolt and. kicking
the goal. made the score Al TO 0. the
biggest ever run up by Harvard against
Yale.
The end came two minutes later
And with IT the wild JOY for Harvard
and the traditional snake dance: the

and each individual member Of the
team was cheered until throats were
husky and hoarse.
Substitutions by both sides came so
thick and fast in the last half that
without the players being numbered il
was puzzle TO keep track of who was
on the field. As usual. number Of
Harvard men were rewarded for faith

two or three Yale men went in for the

A long time ago Yale defeated Har-
ward. Seven years. by actual count, and
once. way back in 1854, Yale beat Har-
ward by a score of As TO o, seven more
points than the total achieved by the
Crimson to-day. But, as a Yale man
