Yale beat Harvard at New Haven
 Saturday to 8, 'Crowning season of real achievement marred only by the
 defeat by Brown. Princeton was sub
 dued a week ago and Harvard Satur-
 day. so why ask more?
 Yale victory was deserved. It was
 clearly and cleanly won. Once a break
 favored the big Blue team. but there is quite a lot in grasping opportuni- ties.
 The entire Yale eleven played great football; not faultless, of course, but steady, hard and consistent. Among the list the names of several stand out prominently. Captain Black, Legore, Gates and Comerford were the big four. If any
 seek a1l-star material, we respectfully
 invite their attention to the quartette. Legore and Black, playing their final
 game, shone brilliantly. Legore's run
 ming, passing and defense were su .
 perb. The work of the other three
 mentioned kept pace fittingly. One evidence of the fine physical
 condition and indomitable fighting
 courage of the Yale eleven may be
 had from the fact that just one sub stitution was made throughout
 Church replaced Moseley.
 Defeated With Honor: And words of praise uttered for the victorS do not mean to imply that the I1dTFdTu elGfOl IS uCL uuc ulSu SOIII- mendation. The Crimson battled
 gamely and valiantly, losing only after
 giving over all they had.
 The record crowd assembled to
 watch. the great battle did full justice
 to the event. More than 77.O00 seats
 were sold, to say nothing of nearly
 2,0O0 more who were present as att
 tendants and attaches. Promptly at o'clock the teams took
 the field. Captain Dadmun won the
 toss and chose to defend the north goal, favored somewhat by the wind. Comerford booted the ball far down | into Harvard's territory and the game | was. on.
 The first few minutes saw a kicking duel. Favored by the wind, Horween had the best of I.egore.
 The first break came when Legore got off poor boot and Harvard took the ball on Yale's 37 yard line. The Crimson appeared to be on its way to
 score with a net of seven yards in two tries, but Eorween took a high leap over the line on tf.e second play 1 and Harvard was taxed 15 yards, pre- | sumably for hurdling. Horween Forced to Punt. The big extra assignment was oto
 much for the Crimson attack, and Horween punted. Laroche was over | anxious and allowed the ball to slip through his arms. A mad scramble l ensued, but when the referee sifted to | the bottom of the mass ne found a | Crimson athlete draped about the ball. It was Harvards ball on Yale's 27 yard
 line. Two plays drove five yards and Robinson dropped back and drew first | blood for Harvard with a we'll di- 1 rected drop kick.
