posed by both elevens deprived the 76.-

Yale Uses Running Attack.
| AS In the Princeton game, Yale at the
| beginning OF the second quarter put its
chief reliance in the running attack. No

nor however near its goal line. Neid-
linger put the ball down for scrimmage
and ordered Jordan. Mallory and

attack. OHearn throwing the ball.
This campaign. however. terminated in
disaster by an interception by Buell..
| Confronted In the fourth quarter by
defeat and with Harvard conspicuously
growing stronger on offense Yale again
attempted to win by forward pass
attack. Although many Of these filings
succeeded they were too, short to swing
the Blue into scoring position and
too many of them grounded to afford
a continuity of advances.
4 Although Yale did not win, Yale's
followers long will remember the
stirring drive with which Yale ended
the game. Obtaining the ball from a
mighty kick on it's 20-yard line Yale
by brilliant and bewildering attack
| of runs and passes sped swiftly for
| ward 40 yards along a chain of four
| first downs and stood laundering at
midfield for fourth down with three
yards to go.
The Blue swung into position to

three long yards to go Neale of Yale

yards down the field to Bench planting

35-yard line. SO fast and furious was
the play that Yale's great throng saw
a touchdown glistening in the gloom of
the closing Of the game. a touchdown
however which was destined to so a.

Harvard allied with a powerful winters
! gale. Cross kicked of thirty-five yards
to Hammond and the latter ran the ball
ba X to the 80 yard line. Instantly a
j stupendous kicking duel developed be-
tween Hammond of Harvard and
O'Hearn Of Yale. Sparkling in the No
vember sunlight, the golen ball continu-
ally doomed and swirled through the air.
So swift were the lines down under the
twisting sphere that not single run
back of kick exceeded ten yards.
| On the twenty third play OF the quar-
ter Hammond sent a kick fifty yards
down the field and across Yale's goal
line for a touchbaclt Yale put the ball
down on the 20 yard line for a scrim-
mage. O'Hearn crashed into Clark. but
was thrown for a loss. Jordan slashed
through the Crimson line for seven yards
and then O'Hearn punted to Harvards
45 yard line. The ball struck the ground
and bounded against a Harvard player.

eff upon the ground.
| George Owen of Harvard, leaping for
ward at full speed without slackening
his stride, deftly leaned forward as he
ran. seized the bounding ball and with
gigantic leaps dashed straight into the
! pack Of oncoming Yale players In and
out he twisted. out and in he lodged,
and straight through Yale's eleven he
ran. clearing the forwards i'm Blue. twice
he was compelled to reverse his field to
evade and outrun Yales backs.
At last he had cleared every Blue de-
fender and onward down the field he
raced fifty-seveu full yards. until HUI
man Of Yale coming up from behind
/ forced him out of bounds on Yale's 8
yard line Lining up quickly Gehrke,
from a CLOSE formation. pierced Yalse
right sido for a yard. On a similar
formation Owen added two more. At
this crucial point Buell. OF Harvard re-
placed Lee at quarter assuming COM
mand of his eleven. Harvard now swung
! into kicking formation. Buell. sharply
called forth the signals, and the Har-
ward players slightly indicated that a
drop kick was forthcoming. This. how
ever. was only strategy, for the ball
| shot TO Owen, who crashed into the
Yale line, which burst in two and Owen
shot across the line for a touchdown
and victory.
This touchdown gave Harvard six
points A moment later. on the try for
point, Hammond on a drop kick scored
from the Is yard line, and thus Harvard
on the thirty-third play of the game led
Yale points to 0 and never after
ward either was passed or overtaken.
