NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov. e5.-Yaie's
football team scored a touchdown
against the Harvard eleven in the big
owl this afternoon. It marked the first
crossing Of the Crimson goal lire by the
Blue since 1907. and sufficed to give the
Ellis a victory by 6 to 8. a success per-
hips unexpected but hard earned and
well merited.
Harvard scored first when Bill Robin
son drop kicked a field goal from the
60 yard mark in the opening period.
Yale's touchdown came just before the
end Of the second quarter. with Joe
Neville carrying the bail over. Not since
1909 had Yale been able to triumph over
the pupils Of Percy H%aughton. but In
that year no touchdown graced the title
Of the Ell eleven. Ted Coy making two
goals from the field to beat Harvard by

crossed the sacred chalk mark OF Har-
ward in the Stadium to win for Yale by

wards football relations with its encient
rival had been productive Of a carnival
OF scoring In which the Ellis played a
most passive part. the record for the
