New-York tribune., 1920-11-21

Kick from the 42-yard line for Har-
wards second score.
Harvard lost tinted oppor
tuNity shortly after the third period
opened. Standing on his 12-yard line
Humphrey booted long twister down
the field which Aldrich first misjudged
and then allowed to oound merrily on
its way TO the Yale goal. This kick
upon the defensive. Yale then kicked
out of bounds around midheld and
then Harvard had her big chance.
Owens and Horween made a first down
and then Horween crashed through for
fifteen yards, charging forward like an
enraged Beresek. On the next play
Buell. tossed a forward pass to Humph-
rles, who scooped the ball Just off the
ground and then scampcrod to Yale's
5-yard line before he was hauled down
by two frantic tacklers in Blue 1t was
Harvard's first down on Yale's 5-yard
line. The first line smash failed. The
second netted just one yard with the
Bulldog proving his breed. And then
Humphries attempted to swing wide
around Eale's left end. But as he
stepped out beyond tackle Aldrich
nailed him with we'll directed, Saw
age dive and Humphrles fell back for
a loss. By this time Harvard was far
over to the right Of the goal posts
where Buell. attempted to kick goal
from an almost impossible angle. Of
course, he failed, with only few feet
to shoot at
Buell. Asked for Impossible
It may be all matter of second
guessing, but this judgment looked
faulty. as the ball was then on Yalc's
six yard line. That was Harvard's last
good chance to battle her way across
the Blue line, for Yale promptly kicked
we'll out of danger from her 20-yard
line and the Crimson attack had to
start all over again on a hopeless
journey against a team that had be
come vastly encouraged and revivified
by its game stand.
1t was just after this that Kempton
was ruled off and Horween added 3
more points by a very fine drop kick
from the 42-yard mark. In the final
period Yale fell back upon desperate
forward passing game, whore most of
the passes We're low or wide and far
out Of range. A flock of Iris Speakers
might have nailed one or two, but even
a Speaker would have had to be at his
best. Three of these passes were too
low to be handled and three more
sailed 10 or IL yards beyond any re-
ceiver around.
II was merely case of heaving the
ball IN the vain hope that it would
land fairly ci, c to some Yale end or
back, who might be loose There was
neither deception nor skill in these
desperate maneuvres that were used
as torlorn hopes with gray dusk
settling down upon the bowl and the
advance guard leaving for waiting
automo mobilcs or waiting trains.
But it WAS all Yale had in the wav
OF her attack The Bulldog was doing
ms, best with what little he had. He
had round that he could not gain
9found by straight rushing, and now
ne was lndlnG that a happy-go- lucky,
4or"arq passing game was equally in
Nalp 1t might be that Yale had done
%eil VIC enough in protecting her goal line.
e, ms is true enough, considering last
Saturday bad showing. But Yale had
1T least improved in many ways in the
play ot ncr ends and in her kickjnr.
ne work Of Dickens, Cutler, Cross and
kempton stood well ont. Aldricb
smothcred in attack played fine dcfcn,
slvc football all the way. The Yale ]jnc
held up well, but this was no surprise.
In tact, Yale, dcfcnsivclv was very
gvoo; IL was only upon attack that her
%pSo'ule co"nlall came, and mere the
sue lapse was pltiful from start to
finish.
