 Yale Was Helpless.
 The play during the first half clear. ly dem onstrated that the Shevlinized Yale eleven was utterly unable to cope with the typical Harvard foot ball machine turned out by Coach Haughton. Neither individually or collectively did the Blue jerseved gr1diron gladiators compare with the finished crimson combination It was not so much that the Harvard play CTS were superior in the fundamen- tals of football as the fact that the Cambridge team work was utterly be- yond the comprehension of the bull dog that made Harvard scoring ap- parently so easy. Harvard had a perfect com mbination attack and de- fense which held the Blue in check at all times.
 With the exception of the 32-yard run made by Capt. Wilson through Harvard's right tackle in the open ing minutes of the game Yale was un- able to make single first down.
 At no time did the Ellis appear dangerous or to have a scoring chance
 Harvard on the other hand offered strong defense at all times to the rather crude attack of the Blue. The Crimson players followed the ball with unusual keenness and profited immensely by every tumble by Yale
 On the offense the Harvard at tack, while not particularly com p1icated, was so deceptive and de- layed that the Blue was most of the time completely at sea regarding the point of attack and the method to be used in advancing the ball. As II, V-I1 ly the backf1eld was thrown out Of place or ripped wide open for long gains on plays which appeared com paratively simple once they were in full operation.
