Val. won. Only those Of the $4,000

.,v the spectacular fervor Of the Ell
,,sle dance as the Crimson flag came
down A. sunset can quite appreciate the
fru significance Of these two simple
,oyds. As unadorned ss Harvard's bank
rol was before the clock struck ..
For seven years, sdrift in the wilder
,.s. Yale had been struggling in vain
for a Harvard defeat. For nine years
since 1907, the Yale assault had been
thrown back from the Harvard goal
line. To-day Yale wiped away both
counts when Jim Neville crashed two
Yards through tackle for a touchdown
in the second quarter, with only a min
ute left TO play.
This clean, hard drive to victory beat
Harvard, 6 10 8. and beyond this 1t
made the name Of Tad Jones one Of the
greatest in Ysle's entire football his
tory. For it was the spirit Of Tad
Jones that triumphed at last over the
Hsughton system, the system that had
bsaed and bewildered and overwhelmed
Yale for four Of the most melancholy
years the Blue had ever known.
Tad Jones Spirit
The spirit that Jones instilled was
This: "You can crowd Bulldog just so
sar; then pick out the nearest tree
And. what is more to the point, Jones
had the rare pleasure of proving this
scientific point before the greatest
crowd that ever saw football game in
this country that Columbus saw first.
Seventy-seven thousand four hundred
and ffty-iour people paid over Sl5O,OOO
70 see what a young fellow by the name
Of Jones could offer against the magic
and the craft of the great Haughton'
who had been beating one Yale team
after another with such ease and dis
patch that it had become fixed habit
that seemed TO know no law Of change.
This great deluge Of humanity
smothered and blotted out the town
ana once packed into the big Bowl it
ioa ~, form Of life and color and be-
came merely a huge mass that out
ranged the vision from any one spot.
I, was only when Robinson kicked
Harvard field goal in the first quar-
ter and later on when Eddie Casey ran
seyenty-fve yards across Ysle's line
only to be called back for Harvard
holding, that the Crimson section OF
this mass became suddenly alive with
human beings. While these two epi-
sodes were under way the Blue section
was still silent, drab-looking mass
devoid of everything but gloom.
But a few minutes later on the
Crimson section sunk back into form
less conglomeration of dismay when
Le Cores tumble Topped over the lines
into the waiting arms Of Ty Gates and
the great Yale tackle ran twenty-one
yards 70 Harvsrd's 12-yard line before
he was dragged TO the ground.
Wrecis Hsughton System
This was the play that wrecked the
Hsughton system for the day; that
ended Hsrvsrd's long reign oyer Yale
and lifted the Blue At last TO its old
fashioned place above the Crimson
banner.
Harvard, at the moment, was lead
ing, 8 20 0. Just q moment before
Comerford's long shot for goal from
placement had struck one of the up
rights and bounded back.
In q fash, 20 It seemed at that stage,
the action Of the play had been point
ing 70 a climax. II was here that
Yale, with an attack led by lie Gore,
started her drive.
From Hsrvard's 3S-ysrd line lie Gore
started another rush. The pass struck
his arms and then, in some way not TO
be explained, hopped forward over the
two surging lines in q 7-ysrd, dropping
curve.
In IN. first glimpse Of things the
Yale stands. seeing only the tumble,
groaned in their despair. But the
grosn rippled out into vocal cata-
elysm Of cheering when Ty Gates, one
Of the days big heroes, snstehed the
ball OF his shoe tops and rushed
twsnty-one yards further on, TO within
twelve yards Of Hsrvard's goal.
Ysle's Great Chance
Here at last was the chance that
Yale had waited for and dreamed OF
since Roome dived over the Harvard
goal line back in 1907.
