LESSONS FROM GAMES
Of LAST SATURDAY

play was far slower and uncertain
than that OF a year ago. and the
backs seldom were able to get into
their stride, due to the vicious man
ner in which the Yale forwards
ripped up the first line and plunged
into the backfield almost with the
ball. Quarterback generalship was
below the usual Harvard standard,
and at times the ball carrier showed
tendency to drop his interference
and to take chances alone under the
stress of the play. Such concerted
and complicated attacks as Harvard
uncovered was on a much higher
plane than that of Yale, but fire.
Quently broke down, particularly the
forward passing, because of the ag-
gressive opposition OF the Ellis and
the resultant lack of cooperation on
the part Of the Cambridge players.
Evidence of the uncertainty and
strain under which Harvard worked
is shown in the numbers of penalties
imposed, one of which nullifed
Casey's long run for touchdown.
Next year, Harvard should return
with a stronger eleven, but it will
also meet more powerful Yale, for

emily established successful coach.

The Army-Navy contest developed
case Of too much Oliphant for the
middies.
Excluding the former Purdue star
and his running mate, Vidal, the sail
ors compared favorably with the
West Pointers. The brilliancy and
all-round playing ability OF this pair
however, was a handicap too great
Tor the navy to overcome. The PLUCK
and power with which the navy at
| tackled in the final half of the game
demonstrated that the middies have Q
formidable eleven in the making.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.--The crest
of the eastern football season passed
with the playing of the spectacular
pridiron classics Saturday, leaving In
IFS wake shattered idols and newly
crowned heroes. The famous Har
ward machine was strapped by re
iuvenated Yale eleven at the same
hour that the army was wrecking the
hopes of the navy for an eleventh
hour victory. There remain only the
contests of Thanksgiving day before
the curtain is lowered on the great
collegiate sport for another year.
In defeating Harvard, the Yale
team achieved far more than the
triumph apparent upon the surface
Coach Tad Jones, with the aid OF
Captain Black and the band Of fight
ers which the latter gathered about
him, laid the ground work for new
system and more impressive grade
of play and players for the yoa t
are to come.

combination, and this, taken in con
nection with better physical condition
and the breaks of the game, was the
deciding factor in the triumph. Yale
played ordinary football with dash
and power that swept the Crimson
off its feet after the first period.
Harvard came on the field with the
same polished football machine that
has been turned out at Cambridge fol
the last few seasons. but the indi
vidual parts lacked both the power
and speed. Although given the ad
vantage of the first score. II coult
not hold together under the rugged
attack of the Ellis. and little by littl,
the combination slowed up until a
