highly sociallzed Germany in times Of
peace.
1t means the release for actual fighting

II means, especially in connection with
the new armies now volunteering In the

season of real achievement, marred only
by the defeat by Brown. Princeton was
subdued week ago and Harvard to-

Yale's victory was deserved. 1t was
clearly and cleanly won. Once a break

quite a lot in grasping opportunities.
The entire Yale eleven played great
football. not faultless. Of course, but
steady. hard and consistent. Among the

were the big four. If any seek aIl-star
material. we respectfully invite their at
tention to the quartet. Legore and
Black, playing their final game, shone
brilliantly. Legore's running, passing
and defense were superb. The work Of
the other three mentioned kept pace fit
tingly.
One evidence of the fine physical con-
dition and indomitable fighting courage
Of the Yale eleven may be had from the
fact that just one substitution was made
throughout Church replaced Moseley.
And words of praise uttered for the
victors do not mean to imply that the
Harvard eleven is not due high commen-
dation. The Crimson battled gamely and
valiantly, losing. but only after giving
over all they had.
The record crowd assembled to watch
the great battle and did full justice to
the event More than 1900 seats were
