New Haven. Conn.,. November 25.--- Harvard defeated Yale today. 10 to }. winners with the odds against them in game in which in opposition play and in scenic spectacle took high rank in the long line of these an nual contests.
 Crimson initiative and Crimson re- sources overcame the big Blue team, with George Owen. Harvard's eurly back. operating as individual hero It was Owen's own run back of Yale punt 47 yards through fighting Yale team that led directly to his touch down and to his succeeding point by kick in the first period.
 Two other scores were made, field goal by Charlie O.Hearn. Yale's start of the day, from the 22-yarf line in the second period, and field goal kicked 25 yards by Carl Pfaff- man Harvard substitute, who was in the game one minute and out the next, in the fourth period. But owens was the outstanding effort and the margin of the Crimson's un- expected success.
 tactical survey of the game shows that Harvard scored on each it's real advances into Yale terri tory. The same survey shows that Yale five times drove fairly deep into Crimson areas, yet scored only once. As in other games this season, the Blue players by pass or rush, ad- vanced almost twice ss many yards as the Crimson. but were bent back or pressed to a point where their thrusts were ineffective but once.
 Buell. Showed Way
 Captain Buell. was kept oil the side lines. while third string player. J. J. Lee. called signals until Harvard had reached commanding position Then Buell. was inserted. notwithstanding a leg injury, and under the stimulus of his call the touchdown came. Under Lee, Harvard had twice stormed the Blue goal from the four-yard line, where owens run was stopped, and still lacked two yards. Under the captain, owen went over st . bound.
 The game was witnessed by 77.000 persons in the Yale bowl. From one of the few who were on-partisans, Georges Clemenceau. war premier of France, came the expression that was probably representative of the opin- ion of all. aside iron, the variei feeling over the result. Splendid sport" he said.
 Owen's Great Run
 Kicking honors between the teams were about even. In the first period stiff northwest wind had forced the Blue to kick from their 1S-yard line on the punt that owen caught and made the starting point of his sensational run.
 Getting the ball yard beyond midfield. Owen went about vending difficult way to the goal. 51 yards
 off. With two interferers in the early stages, Owen slid past a group of four Yale men. By straight-arm he fended off three more at the 8o- yard line and changed pace effec- tually to turn back from the side line onto which he was being forced. Picking up another interferer, Owen raced along, spilling a Blue tackler on the 22-yard line by hip contact. Two other Yale players were closing in. but Tony Huffman. star sprinter for the Blue. who was playing end today, came tearing down. He had almost overhauled Owen at the To- yard line. was on him three yards beyond. and the impetus of the Har- ward backs dash carried them three yards more.
 Harvard had the ball on Yale's yard line. The Blue team stood just outside its goal line to make defense. Young Lee marshalled Har- wards backfield strength and sent Gehrke from punt formation against the extra point on placement kick, 1 making the final score + to 14. Lineup:
