Those two feet proved to more
than $4,000 spectators-the plsses'
crowd in American sport history
that Harvard wasn't superior over
Yale by a larger margin In inches.
Yale had a lighting team ana
Yale's fighting team fought IN capl-
tai letters. She fought with oes
peration that was magnificent anu
unfaltering. And until late In the

Yale. figured and doped to lose
Jv from Is to 80 points, scorned
by the talent which offered odds OF
1h2 to 8 that her battered team
would be turkey for the hungry
Crimson squad. exhibited a game
of bitter, back-to-the-wan hghtlng
that had the red splashed Harvard
stands pale with the thought that
something inconceivable was about
to happen
First Period Quiet.
All the trimmings-color. crowds,
beautiful girls, wealthy alumni,
which go to make the Harvard-Yale
games the spectacle of football
spectacles, were there when Capts.
Callahan and Horween tipped the
coin in the formal opening.
A bright fall sun beamed down
on the huge Yale bowl 1t looked
like a crater in the grounds filled
to its rim with all the people in
the world. The gay colors of the
feminine hats, the re1 carnations
and roses for Harvard, the blue
,violets for Yale and the yellow
chrysanthemums for those who for
some reason had no team affilia-
tions, made the ensemble pot into
which generous painter had
dumped a sample Of every color in
the spectrum
The first quarter was "feeler.
Most of the period was played In
midheld within the 35-yard zones.
Harvard tried the Yale line and
10 av-1 10 n
the Yale ends and found defenders
there that were not expected. Har-
ward tried the forward pass and
succeeded fitfully. Yale. when she
did get the ball, punted.
Late in the first period. when
Harvard had worked the ball to the
shadow of the Yale goal posts, and
when the Blue cohorts had avoided
nervous prostration by the game
fight of the Callahan clan. Buel. in
answer to a cue from the side line.
took the middle of the stage for his
few lines.
Buell. Opens Hostilities-
From the thirty-yard line at a
very bad angle over near the side
lines. he booted a perfect field goal
and gave Harvard a lead that was
never relinquished.
The second act was a draw. When
neither team was able to gain. and
when pass after pass was knocked
down by a pair of opposing Blue or
Crimson arms. both elevens resorted
to punting.
Yale had several excellent chances
to score in this second period. A
costly tumble by Kempton killed
one wonderful chance. while the in
accuracy of the Yale backs in shoot
ing passes into red arms, killed
others just as good.
Both teams came back for the
second half showing the results of
the skull session" between periods.
AIdrich Cheeks ELI Pep.
Yale started with a rush but lost
another glorious chance when Aid
rich misjudged a punt from Murphy
and then allowed the ball to roll
thirty-five yard yards back to Yale's
twenty-yard line.
Yale's morale seemed shattered
momentarily by this break and Har-
ward started a march down the field.
Humphrey and Horween in turn
smashed through the Blue line until
Harvard had advanced to the Yale
12-yard line. Buell. then changed
disastrous effect. On the fourth
down the chances for a touchdown
were gone and Horween dropped
back to Yale's 32-yard line and
booted a drop kick that sailed
squarely between the bars.
Harvard still respected Yale and
fsared that one of Murphy's des-
rssrate long passes would result in
q touchdown. Harvard had s.
rtiint margin but wanted more than
the Blue could get on a touchdown.
Harvard kept fighting and Yale
| kept fighting. They were battling
in the literal sense of the word.
| The strain under which both were
laboring resulted in a fist fight be-
| tween CASTOR and Kempton and
| hith were banished from the game.
tKempton had punted and CASTOR
| Charged into him. Both went down.
1T soon was a tangle of flying arms
| and fists. CASTOR jumped to his feet
and took a handful of Kempton's
| lnguarded hair. shaking the Yale
| qharterback's head vigorously. Um-
| pire Tom Thorpe stepped between
| them Just as Kempton had his right
back ready to send home.
In the middle of the final period
Harvard broke out with another
rush and carried the ball down the
field. Smashes of owen, Humphrey
and Horween through the line car
| rlsd the ball from mfdfield to Yale's
Islyard line. Here Callahan rallied
hik men again and the Yale line
hsld under the massed attack of the
Jsed army.
Buell. made his SECOND effort good
