Caldwell Was Not Needed.
The only wonder is that these Yale
men din not do four times as much.
The Harvard team was as putty in
their hands. Bruce Caldwell sat on

deep in Yale territory-once as deep
as the 10.yard line. Again a march
of So yards was cut short when Good

cidentally, Harvard did not complete
single forward pass. Nine were
tried, eight were incompleted one was
intercepted.
The Crimson overhead game was a
complete and utter loss. Chiefly the
trouble lay in the execution. Several
times Harvard men were free and
clear. fairly crying for the ball, but
usually the passes were misdirected.
Harvard Out-Punted, Too.
~1n punting, too. Harvard suffered
heavy losses. Joe Potter. the 17-year-
old sophomore, was counted one of
the best kickers developed here in 10
years. Just four weeks ago this youth
played his first game of foot ball. and
no doubt the stress and strain of such
a game was too much for one so in
experienced. that and an early bang.
He was counted on to do the punting
and the passing, but everything went
wrong right from the start for him
and Harper was substituted before the
first period ended Thereafter his
punting and passing were missed
there is no telling how much.
From first to last Yale was the mas
ter. The team worked with the pre-
cision and power of a well-oiled ma
chine. The players We're ever alert,

Only in the last period when vic

By that time Harvard in sheer
desperation was opening up with lat

been used 10 advantage earlier, but by
that time also Yale confidently was
getting ready TO celebrate.
Harvard Threatens Early.
Within the first three minutes Yale
marched deep into Harvard territory
and Cox missed a goal from placement.
