YALE WAS BETTER
 FOOTBALL ELEVEN
All Of Ellis Power Called in to
 Defeat Harvard Saturday
Special to tho Herald,


 better football team won in the stadium Saturday afternoon, but it required all Of Iale's power 10 dc feat Harvard eleven that played its best game Of the season and fought the Blue on almost even terms. But for two long and spec tacular runs hy Garvey and Ham mersloy the story might have been different for whenever Yale advanc- ci within the zone of immediate scoring danger the Crimson defense stlllcned and hurled it back, while the Harvard attack showed incon- sistcnt but formidable potency and | threatened the Yale goal line on several occasions.
 It was the splendid interference of the winners which gave them their two touchdowus and the game. When Garvey Was shot around end in q surprise move the Harvard tacklcrs were taken out so perfect ly that the Nala back sped into the clear and ii Was Captain Pratt, d lineman, who came nearest 10 get ting up again and tackling him as he crossed the goal - the Harvard | Lacks were all spilled. And on Ham, mcrslcy's slant off tackle not only was big hole opened, but the sec ondary defense was also blocked off Scott came way around the Har- yard team 10 take French out-and only Brown was left to block Ham, mersley, who proved much too fast for him and ran around him. Browns sloWnnss of foot may have cost Harvard the game, for a faster man might have overtaken both touchdown-snrintine runners. Tho Harvard quarter also played several ruuta poorly. Little Howie Burns lid much better when he went in but he is too light to last q full game. Tn" loft end of the Crimson vas another weak spot, both scoring lays gong either around or just inside If. The right end held well and the line, with Pratt and the giant Clark watching, held its own rrcditably against the brilliant Yale forwards. Yalc's passing attack was broken up by having two men stay with Stew Scott all the time, and they guarded this excellent pass-rc- colvcr so closely that the Yale stands were continually shouting that they were interfering with him. Scott caught on" pass all afternoon, but he made great tries for the others in spit" Of his guardians.
 The Harvard forwards were fail urcs. not on" being completed. but much use was made of the lateral pass and several first downs resulted from this play, which Harvard has employed as much as any team in the cast. Guarnaccia and French managed 10 find holes even in the Yale line and more than once swept nearly the length Of the field, but there was no passing when the goal posts lOomed in reaching distance. Harvard also had plain guts, rushing Il needed two yards on q last down in it's own territory-it was on this play that Yale suffered its only cas- ualty of the season when Charles worth broke his leg.
 The game Was exceptionally clean, Yale being pcnalizcd three times for mere offsidr play and Harvard re- ewing no penalties whatever. liar yard might have been set back once for otIsilc. but a quick-thinking lincsman spilled Charlesworth and prevented him from snapping the ball back.
 Outplaying and winning against fighting eleven such as the Crimson vas Saturday provided finish to Yalv's season which Was highly suit 'la rom every standpoint. AL
 r%A a really inferior Georgia
 defeated il in an early game,
 DOW stands supreme in the east
 Niit as valid q claim to national ...9ora as any team can boast.
 As for another season, the outlook is decidedly uncertain. Most ot its Darhft.Id Carvcy, IIoben and Deck yr-~iu he back, but the majority of it's powerful linomcn will he gone, us will its two wonderful ends and their substitutes.
