Vickery got away for touchdown
around left end early in the last

Surprise of Football
Years Is Crimson'S
Triumph
CBy Associated Press


Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1S.-A
Crimson victory-the success of
Harvard's spirit and Harvard sys-
tenn marked the annual YaIe-Har-
ward game today. The score was
10 to 8.
It was a last period triumph in
which a touchdown by Owens, a goal
kicked from placement by Buell. and
a goal from the field by Owen gave
the team of Captain Keith Kane,
points which surpassed the three
gained by Yale through the field goal
of Captain Mac" Aldrich, kicked in
the first quarter.
The Harvard triumph was uneX-
pected generally, coming at the close
of a season of uncertainty for the
Crimson eleven and of previously I'M
broken success by Yale. 1t caused
an unprecedented tie of the stand
ing among the big three-Princeton,
the winner over Harvaed; Yale,
tanners of the Tiger and Harvard,
the victor over Yale.
This fortieth Yale-Harvard game
was played in the Harvard stadium
before a crowd of almost $4,000 and
the organization cheering the out
bursts of applause the mass songs
and the band concerts that are ira
ditional with these contests all en-
livened and colored the picture.
