erratic as the Crimson ever has
known, rose savageiy today TO paste
in the gridiron book of 1927 a final
mage of glory-but the glory of defeat.
Triumph came TO Yale, huge and
powerful and flushed with successes
that have swept the Bulldog to the
pinnacla of Eastern foot hall, while
Harvard fumbled about somewhere
near the bottom of the heap. Victory
in the forty sixth meeting of these
ancient rivals came to Yale by score
of IA to 0. but to Harvard came also
everlastingfi satisfaction in an eleven
that "never knew it was licked" that
nearly tore itself to pieces trying.

precision. Dogged Crimson forwards
battered their way into the heart of
critical plays, Harvard backs broke up

of two perfect plays.
Goal Posts Carri OFF.
Steel and concrete proved no match

Such a set graced each end of the
Soldiers Field gridiron when Yale in

afternoon. but there was nothing but
four holes IN the end zones when dark

the field.
Twenty minutes later one white
crossbar was sighted moving west

Limousine and an hour later another
mud-spattered piece of white steel was
bobbing UP Boylston street in Boston
on the shoulders of four hoarse, fur
coated youngsters.
Two New Yale Heroes.
Yale had two new heroes tonight
to add to those that have gllnted
through the generations of grldlron
conflict that have made the meetings
of Harvard and the Eli the annual
foot ball classics of New England. Ano

plays.
One was John Garvey, flaming sue
cessor of Bruce Caldwell, in the hut
of the Bulldog attack, the other was
Bill Hammersley. chief of the Blue
