q
verse by Brown had led the dopesters
to look for. 1t was, perhaps, as unim-
pressive team from ground gaining
standpoint. that Harvard has sent to
the Elm City since those olden days
before Percy Haughton first began to
wave his magic wand over Hargard
football and install system which
carried the Crimson to II,5 ne n.s.
In scoring alone did the Crims i'm
press the onlooker this afternoon more
strikingly than did the Blue.
Yale has been blamed o4ten in the
past for not carrying its power through
the territory under the shadow Of the
goal posts such as it has been able to
show in the space between the 20-yard
lines. To-day the same condition pre-
vailed, but one hesitates to blame the
Ellis for their lack Of success when a
touchdown seemed SO probable in the
secon period. Harvard was no better
later in the game when the Crimson
was in position to cause some trouble
if there was real attack hidden some
where in Bob Fishers bag Of tricks.
Between times, whether in Yale terri
tory or otherwise, Harvard did not
have what big eleven would be
pleased to term an attack.
Owens Run the Turning Point
One scintillating run by George
Owen, brilliant series of zig-zagging,
which started with an entire Yale be-
tween himself and the goal line, was
the turning point in the struggle. It
was the difference in the final sum
ming up between the two rivals, null
iifying the greater ground gaining
power of the one eleven and putting
the stamp Of victory on the team
which had not shown enough other
wise to be winner. Yet that run
rescued Harvard from what otherwise
would have been a season of failure
and gave the Cambridge rooters an
opportunity to do snake dance again
along the emerald covering of the grid
ron within the bowl
Twice in the first half of the game
it seemed that Yale was not to be de-
med the pleasure of carrying the ball
over Harvard goal line, a distinction
enjoyed but once in the last twelve
games and not since the game of 1916.
hard tumble provided the first oppor-
tunlty, and the Ellis worked the bali up
to the 1o-yard line when travel be-
came bit more difficult, and O'Hearn
attempted field goal by the drop-kick
method
In the, second period a more pro-
longed march carried the ball from the
Yale 45-yard line down to Harvard's
13-yard line before it became neces-
sary to kick. This time O'Hearn sue
cceeded. scoring all that Yale got for
the day. The Yale back made his kick
from the 21-yard line.
Bullock Displays Versatility
This march was by far the most sus-
tanned, likewise the most impressiva
OF the game. The Ellis mixed IN some
good forward passing with some fancy
lodging by O'Hearn and an occasional
Ahe smash by Jordan to make the ad-
vance. The Yale captain, by the way.
was by no means as prominent in his
teams attack to-day as he was week
ago IN the game at Princeton Perhaps
it was due to the fact that O'Hearn
was IN the game to-day and out of the
princeton. game, except for a few min
utes. 1t seemed that Yale did moro
travelling with the ball tucked away
under O'Hearn's arm, and as Charley
stood up under the strain even beyond
the expectations of the Yale coaches.
Jordan had lesser opportunity to shine.
When he did start, the blond captain
found the Crimson line not SO yielding
as were the Tiger forwards week
ago.
o'Hearn was easily the outstanding
performer of the afternoon. He was
not able to get away with anything
approaching the spectacular dash Of
Owen just before Harvard's touch
down, but for steady, consistent Mug
ging, skillful use of the forward mass
and finally In kicking, it seemed that
name OF o'Hearn was bobbing up al
most as OFTEN as was the name of

counted IN normal Manhattan elec-
tion district early in the month.
