fofs the biggest crowd that ever wit
messed a sporting event in this coun-
.rv Harvard beat Yale by the score of
q TO in the bowl to-day. More than
$4,000 persons saw the struggle OF the
still obsolete football of Yale against
the more modern and finished playing
Of the fast snd shifty team.
Though Yale was outplayed in every
phsse Of the game, it was no Crimson
valkover. The nine points represent
.hree field goals, for the Harvard team
could not force its way across the Yale
goal line Once they were within three
Yards of this, but there the young
Bulldogs held with the tenacity Of the
snmsl that IS sacred at this university.
Charlie Buell., the quarterback who
flashed into the limelight first in the
Harvard Princeton game, scored six Of
the points; horween scored the others
by bullet drive OF dropkick from the
l2.yard line directly between the posts
and straigh. over the bar.
Yale Holds on 5-Yard Line
Harvard furnished all Of the football,
but Yale staged the drama in the third
period. Ii came after Hunphrics, on
ient at dropkick, took q forward pas
.or Buell. and ran through the scattered
blue jersey for twenty-tnree yards.
This put the ball on the Yale 5-yard
lire, and it looked like the certainty o.
touchdown.
Twice Arnold Horween, one OF the
hardest lire plungers in the game
hurled himself at that sciid blue val.
Aldrch, lowering in the secondary de-
tense, wormed around and dragged hira
back Humphrey tried the blue wall
and rebounded w.th Aldrich clinging to
his legs. Buell. saw that it was useless
and tried a~op kick from bad angle,
aud failed.
1t was about as hard game as has
been staged this season, as the battered
eeuntenances Of the gladiatcrs bore
testimony. There was only one fist
fight in the open. That came in the
third period, when CASTOR started to
