The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-11-26

wind was drive to midfield where the Blue began a victorious charge. Neville and Legore battered their way through the Crimson forwards for 10 yards. Then came the most peculiar break of the game. On the next rush Legore fumbled as he was tackled, the pigskin bounding toward the Crimson goal until Gates caught it up and ran to the 12- yard mark.
 While the Yale stands called for a touchdown and the Harvard supporters begged the Crimson to hold, Harvard was forced back, foot by foot, four downs gaining the necessary 10 yards. With two yards needed, Yale crashed three times into the Harvard defense for slight gains and then Neville slid over the backs of the low playing Crimson scrimmagers for the touchdown that won the game, the first made by the Blue against Harvard since Captain Ted Coy crossed the Crirn- son line at Cambridge in 1907.
 JONES' SYSTEM WINS
 Two years later, the same Coy kicked two field goals against Harvard, thus winning the last victory for the Blue un- til today's conquest. Tad Jones, whose coaching system triumphed over that of Haughtons, was a prominent factor in that victory.
 Early Harvard showed the smooth ma chine-like play for which recent Crimson teams have been noted. but under the terrific attack of the powerful Yale line the forwards broke badly and the back field found it difficult to get under way. When Yale had the ball the Harvard line could not hold the Eli rushes and the defense was constantly called upon.
 A heavy field made the brilliant runs Of Casey and Legore difficult and both slipped and fell several times when they were just swinging into their stride. Hor- weens bunting was superior to that of Neville and Legore, but there was little choice in the play and tackling of the end pairs, which was the best exhibi- ton seen on eastern fields this season. The play of the Yale line, from tackle to tackle, was better than that of liar wards.
 STATISTICS FAVOR ELI
 Statistics show clearly the extent of Yale's superiority. The Blue team gained first down seven times to Harvard's five. In 55 rushes Yale advanced the ball 1S1 yards against Harvard's 64 yards in A attempts The Harvard average punt was 36 yards, that of Yale 31. Harvard lost 45 yards and Yale 30 for rule in fractions. Eleven times Harvard tried to advance through the air but only twice succeeded for a net gain of 36 yards. Yale tried five forward passes. one successful for a gain of 24 yards.
 Harvard lost heavily in the wagering which had made the Crimson a 10 to : favorite, They pointed out that had Ca- sey's 71-yard run for a touchdown in the second period been allowed, the team would have returned home winner.
 Taking the ball after punt on its own 2s-yard line. Harvard lined up and on the first play Casey slipped through the left side of the Yale line and sprinted down the field and across the goal line for what appeared to be a touchdown. The alert officials, however. had detected holding by the Harvard forces and the ball was brought back and the chance lost.
