The semaphore which is to protect the
eastbound tracks of 'the Maine Central
at the station was put in place Friday
and Saturday. The foundation was built
several months ago, the main frame has
been up for several weeks, and now the
most of the remainder of the machinery
part has been put in place although con-
siderable remains to be done before the
work is completed The semaphore is
located nearly in the sidewalk leading
from College avenue to the station and
makes a very dsagreeable obstruction to
the travelling public where it is, but as the
land is the property of the road 1t was
thought useless on the part of the peo-
pie to enter any protest.

Analysis Of the Game
Saturday at New Haven

New York, Nov. 26.-The crest of the
eastern football season passed with the
playing Of the spectacular gridiron
classics of Saturday, leaving in it's
wake shattered idols and newborn he
roes. The famous Harvard machine,
built up at Cambridge during the past
few years. was scrapped by a rejuven-
ated Yale eleven at the same hour that
the army was wrecking the hopes of
the Navy for an 18th hour victory.
There remain only the contests of
Thanksgiving day before the curtain is
lowered on the great collegiate sport
for another year.
In defeating Harvard, the Yale team
achieved far more than the triumph APP
parent upon the surface. By sheer
gameness and individual brilliancy the
Blue eleven lifted football at the New
Haven university from the slough of
despond and established the game
nearer the marks Of former days when
Yale was a factor Of first importance
in the gridiron world. Coach Tad Jones,
with the aid Of Capt. Black and the
band of fighters which the latter gath
cred about him, laid the groundwork
for a new system and q more impressive
grade of play and players for the years
that are to come.
Viewed in the cold light Of the day
after. it cannot be said that the Yale
eleven was a remarkable football COM
bjnation when compared with some Of
the Eli combinations of the past.
1t was good enough, however, to win
from Harvard after six years of eth
er defeat or scoreless tie play and that
is sufficient honor for the present at
least. The play Of its members was
more alert. aggressive and sustained
than that Of the Crimson combination
and this, taken in connection with bet

ter physical condition and the breaks
of the game, was the deciding factor
in the triumph.
Although given the advantage of the
first score. the Harvard football ma
chine could not hold together under
the rugged attack of the Ellis and lit
tie by little the combination slowed
up until at the end the machine had
completely broken down and the parts
were thrashing about without direc
ton or control.
The quarterback generalship was be-
low the usual Harvard standard and
at times the ball carrier showed a
tendency to drop his interference and
take chances alone under the stress
OF the play. Such concerted and COM
pEcated attack as Harvard uncover
ed was on a much higher plane than
that of Yale, but frequently broke
down, particularly the forward pass
ing, because Of the aggressive oppo-
sition Of the Ellis.
With better and more experienced ma
terial with which to build next year Har-
ward should turn out a stronger eleven:
but 1t will also meet a more powerful
Yale team for the Blue tasted victory and
apparently established successful
coaching system which will make for win
ming football at New Haven.
The Army-Navy contest developed
case of too much Oliphant for the Middies
and the Annapolis academy must continue
building for another year before It can
hope to cope with the West Point eleven
The pluck and power with which the
Navy attacked in the final half Of thu
game demonstrated that the Middies have
a formidable eleven in the making and
another season may see the triumph for
which Annapolis has been working hard
In recent sessions.
