Yale Takes a

4 YALE BOWL. New naven
Nov. 25.-After a perfect dror
kick by Norween from the 2S-
yard line had given Harvard a
lead of 3 in the first period, Harry
lie Gore, the big Yale inainstay,
came to the front for the Blue,
ripped up the great Crimson de-
Tense until Neville was pushed
over for the first touchdown for
Yale over a Harvard team in nine
years.
Yale's football standard, drag
ged in the dust for years by Har-
ward, was thus pulled back to a
victorious crest.
Yale's score was obtained by
smashing line plunges by lie Gore.
The Harvard forwards appeared
unable to hold him. Horween had
punted to Yales' AZ yard line,
where Yale by trick plays began
to go through the Harvard line.
Five yards were gained on the
first smash. The ball was on
Harvard's Al yard line.
lie Gore then ran 80 yards to
Harvard's IL yard line. Again
lie Gore was given the ball and
dashed through for four more
yards. A third smash netted him
still another four.
The Blue pennants waved and
the Harvard team went into a
conference.
Then Neville smashed through
center for the touchdown.
Yale's touchdown closely fol-
lowed what looked like a sure
touchdown for Harvard at the be-
ginning Of the second period.
On kick formation Casey was
given the ball and he got away
for a 70-yard run, crossing the
goal line. But the officials re-
fused to allow 1t, claiming Har-
ward player was holding.
Although fighting to the last
ditch in the last two periods,
neither side could get near enough
to the goal posts for another
score and the game ended with
the fighting Yale eleven the win
ner, to 0.
