ENABLES HARVARD
TO STOP YALE, 90
DauntIess Spirit of Crimson
Aided by Eli FumbIes and
Bad Judgment.
By the Associated Press.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November u.
Harvard fought Yale to a scoreless
tie this afternoon with as courageous
and sensational a defensive battle as
ever has been witnessed in the half
century Of gridiron competition be
tween these two foes. Spurred on by
their indomitahle captain, Doiph
Cheek, husky Californian, whose bril-
lance stood out in the trick of every
fray. the rejuvenated Crimson forces
put their backs to the wall and played
their rivals to standstill in a success
sion Of thrilling defense stands.
Yale entering the game a threeto-
one favorite, outruShed Harvard more
than two to one with an attack that
overshadowed that of the Crimson,
but the Ellis, contributing to their own
failure with erratic generalship and
loose handling of the ball, lacked the
punch to penetrate the stonewan de-
fense put up by the Cambridge eleven.
A crowd c $4,000 spectators, most
Of them. convinced that Yale would
make It three straight over Harvard,
saw the Ellis come within striking dis
tance of the Crimson goal line six
times only to yield the ball on downs
or toss away opportunities because OF
errors. Twice while the Blue stands
echoed their yells for a touchdown,
Yale advanced as far as Harvard's =
yard line in threats which oddly
enough furnished both the opening
and closing thrills of this traditional
drama. 1t was typical of Harvard's s
whole fight that the Crimson should
throw up it's final bulwark and stop

goal as the final whistle blew.

line when Bradley, substitute end,
grabbed a spectacular forward pass
which Quarterback Bunneu had
thrown from midfield. Only desperate
tackle from behind by Capt. Cheek
prevented Bradley from going over
then and there for a touchdown, and
it seemed that Yale finally was to
break through with four downs In
which to negotiate only Is feet.
But Harvard had the defensive

end of the game. Another few mo-
ments and Yale might have gained
the remaining yardage to the goal,
but it seemed unlikely in the face of
the last ditch spirit dominating Har-
wards bulwark.
In between these opening and clos

chances to score. all in the final half

Average Net Income.

The average net income reported
rose from S3,226.70, in the calendar
year 1928, to s3.42S.55 in 1924, while
the average amount of tax paid in
creased from s86.21 to S94.42, during
the same period.
The falling off in small taxpayers
was attributed in some quarters
partly to the increased exemptions
and deductions granted in the 1924
revenue act, and partly to the as
sumption that some of the taxpayers
probably moved out of the lower
brackets into the higher ones, with
increased incomes.
The entire report was interpreted
as rejecting unusual prosperity.
In some quarters the figures were
also declared to be a vindication of
the principles of tax reduction, en-
bodied in the 1924 tax bill, in so far
as they were intended to get more
money out of the American public
by reducing some of the tax rates.
Will Get Close Study.
The figures. it is predicted, will
receive the closest scrutiny by the
House ways and means committee,
which now IS engaged in the task
of preparing a new tax bill for pres
entation to the forthcoming session
of Congress, with view to cutting
taxes still further. Some of the
figures in the report, it is believed,
had been transmitted to the commit
tee prior to their being made public
last night at the Treasury.
