was played in the Harvard Stadium
before crowd that ran close to 55,-
900, filling every niche and granny
ian assemblage of partisans among
, whom enthusiasm ran as high as the
colors of the fashionably gowned
women were brilliant.
The organized cheering, the out
bursts of applause, the mass songs
and the band concerts that are tradi-
tional with these contests all enliven-
ed and colored the picture.
And at the close. with the official
whistle signalling the certainty of the
Crimson victory that had developed
only a few minutes before, the Har-
ward adherents poured forth from the
stands into the gridiron, the Crimson
band became the head of column of
cheering hundreds that soon was
twisting and squirming up the field
and across again, to the north goal
posts in serpentine march of tri-
umph. Then, in delirium of joy, the
| Crimson enthusiasts tossed over the
bars medley of hats, megaphones
and musical instruments, carrying on
| to the club house to serenade their
team or in front of the Yale stand
where heads high and voices ring
| ing, the Blue partisanS cheered and
sang, matching Harvard's refrain,
THE Crimson Still Holds Sway" with
the Blues philosophical Bright COL
| lege Years."

ed the strategy and dictated the tao
| tics and it's football playing spirit

three periods of opposition by a heav-
Ter and harder hitting team, several
players contributed notably. They

the Yale team, a punt which he
caught at midf1eld. His dash covered
81 yards carrying the ball to Yale's
12-yard line.
Opening the fourth period, on the
next lineup, Buell. capitalized the
element of deception through a de-
layed forward passsfor an advance of
eight yards. A burst against the Blue
| line lacked inches of first down. Owen
gathered strength for another assault
and for first down and carried not
only the down, but the goal, plunging
over the Yale forwards.
Yale put on an impulsive running
attack on the next kickoff. Aldrich
and O'Hearn stabbing through for
| long gains and Jordan for short jabs.
They carried to Harvard's 15-ya,d
ever, and Chaplin. a substitute in the
Harvard backfeld, then blossomed in
to a Crimson rambling star with a
run of so yards after intercepting a
Yale forward pass tossed by O'Hearn.
Fits pressed forward for % yards
more in another Harvard effort. From
The II yard line. Owen broke through
the Blue Gordon and rushed over the
goal, only to have his touchdown re-
called because of holding in the Har-
ward line.
When Yale failed to gain on the
succeeding rushing attacks, she kick
ed and Harvard started another Of
fensive that put Owen into position
for his field goal from the 30-yard
line.
