Yale's Harvard Slump
Between the periods of 1901 and 1908.
matter of six playing years. Harvard failed
to score a point against Yale.
During these six years Yale ran up 10
points against Harvard.
From 1901 to 1912. n matter OF ten cam
paigns, Harvard failed to score touch-
down on Yale-her total for the decade
beInR n field goal by Vic Kennard In 1908.
From 1891 to 1908 a matter of seventeen
years, Harvard beat Yale but twice.
YaIe up to 1912 had beaten Harvard
twenty -one times. against five defeats.
No wonder viewing this past record that
Harvard feels her revenge isn't nearly COM
plets.
Yale's slump since those ancient days of
glory has been terrific, For Yale rcored
her last touchdown against Harvard In
1907. Nine years have passed now since
the Blue attack crossed the Crimson line a
touchdOwnless period for ELI almost as long
as Harvard knew before p. d. Haughton
registered at Harvard headquarters
Haughton's Supremacy
Haughton took charge OF Harvard foot
ball In 1908. Yale has made eight assaults
upon his goal line since that date without
crossing the line
The Harvard defense, since Haughton
arrived nine years ago. has held the Yale
attack to three field goals and two safeties,
a complete total OF 10 points
HRughton's record against Yale is five
victories one defeat, two ties; ZIG points
against 10.
Haughton has averaged a trihe over IA
points a season against Yale; Yale has
averaged less than points a season
against Haughton and Harvard. The over
whelming margin here Is easy enough to
see. 1t took Haughton four years to get
started-four years before his attack was
able to score a touchdown against the
Blue
But since the last scoreless tie OF 1911
the Harvard attack has battered the Yale
defense to a dark blue pulp,
The Forty Year Celebration
Harvard still needs two more victories
in succession TO tie Yales run from 1901
to 1908 But the Crimson needs a good
many more conquests than two before she
can even up the entire count, dating back
forty years 10 1875.
II was Just forty years ago that the
two rivals saunteTed for the first time into
a football arena, Yale having one goal TO
Harvard's two touohdowns, which doesn't
