seemed to have no end save touch down. With the Crimson goal within reaching distance, so to speak. Jordan took the ball for q four-yar1 smash through the line. Now Harvard had good ends but not the best line in the world. Nevertheless, OIIcarn twice ordered sweeping runs around the tianks-and lost ground both tines. Aldrich finally had to gamble with q forward pass and Chapin of Harvard recovered it, running past midijeld be fore Aldrich felled him with Q des- perate lunge.
 Charley Buell. a typical Harvard quarterback, was also guilty of what looked like questionable tactics. He might be charged, for instance, with laying too much emphasis on kicking. One of his fair catches was on Ialc's 30-yard line and Buell. immediately ordered a free try at goal from place ment, which failed. Even though the wind was favorable, it looked like an suspicious moment for T running game and then, if this failed, q shot at goal from scrimmagc.
 Buell. Great General.
 On the whole, however, Buell. lived up to his reputation as one of the greatest field generals in the tast. One of his most brilliant bits of thinking was when he decided it was time to quit thinking and run back that punt to the 12yard line. HaV- ing accomplished this feat. Buel then showed what Harvard football and Harvard quarterbacNs can do when twelve yards stretch between them and a touchdown.
 In this crisis Buell. showed how the threat of the forward pass IS as gen orally as effective as the pass itself After owen had plunged at Yajc's line and had gained nothing against the massive form of Herr, the FNis probably expected that they had proved the quality of their forward line. They looked for pass of some kind,> either lateral or forward, and Buell. faled the play long enough to pull the Blue line out of position, open a hole and send Owen plngihs through for the eight-ydri gain which wrote fnis for the Ellis.
  the last thing that one would have au- ticipated, was the kernel of the game and it ought to be recorded that it was Harvard eoncralship that opened the holes There is more than one way of getting. through ;J line besides battering through, and Harvard pro ccedcd to do this very thing Yale lacked the versatility and variety to turn the same trick.
 Utaryard's use of the free lyicj, as a touchdown play was again brought iu- to prominence. The Crimson used this same strategy against Princeton and when Louric stood by Macombar fell on the ball as he had q right to do as an on-sidc player. It was hardly to be expected that Yale would be Ihe victim of the samo play in the same year, but the fact is that when owen missed his free try at placement goal in the second period, not g Yale man fell on the ball back Of the goal line, A Harvard man did, however, and the Crimson claimed touchdown. which was disalloWcd only because the pig skin had chauced to roll under rOpc resulting in a touchback under the ground rules. Yale was saved by tlis break but not by it's own quick think ing.
 No Rcason to Mourn.
 Despite an unexpected dctcat Yale has no reason to mourn or'r its 1921 season. In the aXuberanco of the Vie tory over Princeton, the Ellis probably forgot that Tad Jones, when he came to New Haven, told the Athletic Board that they need not look for q Big Three victory for five years. That he succeeded in beating Princeton in the second year Of his regime is the lest tribute to his ability aa a coach. F1Ir- thermorc, the team is yOung, .he ma- tcrial is plentiful, the morale ia good and the confidence high, and thc freshman team this year went through the season without being scored on, roasting of several play CTS who probably could make any
