" Conn, November 49,
/ Harvard's big gridiron ma
chine, after a succession OF
nlishaps along the foot ball road
this season, clicked on all cylinders
today for the first time and fiat
tened Yale with a sensational
comeback before. crowd of 49,

bowl to capacity.
With the cool, calculating sharp
shooter, Quarterback william Barry
Wood, IT,, of Milton, Mass, dealing de-
struction to Eli hopes with spectacular
passing attack. Harvard scored two
touchdowns and whipped Yale deci-
sively to the tune of Is to 0.
It was the third successive victory
for the Crimson over the Blue, the sec
ond straight year In which the forces
from Cambridge completely stopped the
Eli flash, Albie Booth, and browning
triumph, after previous disappoint-
ments for the gridiron pupils Of Head
Coach Arnold Horween.

horts snake-danced on rival soil in the
dusk, lighted red flares and pulled down
the Eli goal posts in q wild duplica-
ton of the scenes following the Grim
son victory here two years ago.
Booth Is Stopped Cold.
Harvard's sturdy defense led by her
redoubtable captain and all-America
center, Ben Ticknor, stopped Booth and
the Blue running attack cold through
out the game. The Crimson got the
A,I
start to finish as the f1ashy Wood put
on one of his greatest passing exhibit
tions, aided and abetted by Art Hugu-
ley of Swampscott, Mass.
Huguley, a rangy halfback with a
long reach, scored both Harvard touch
downs as he pulled down bullet passes
thrown with unerring accuracy by
Wood to the fringes Of the Eli goal.
Huguley took two successive heaves early
in the FIRST period, the first for IS yards,
the second for 80 yards and q touch
down, as he raced q scant z yards
across the Blue goal. Again in the
third quarter the alert Crimson back
was put on the spot" plunging across
the goal line on a 26-yard toss after
Harvard had recovered Yale tumble
Forward Upset Els.
Yale was prepared for and succeeded
In stopping Harvard's lateral passing
game which had contributed to the
downfall of the Blue in the past two
years, but the Ellis were caught mapping
by Woods brilliant forward passing to-
day. The Harvard field general, who
played the entire go minutes, completed
six out Of the nine aerials he attempted
for total gains of Ill yards. However,
he required only three well-played shots
to do the scoring damage He con-
trtbuted the thirteenth point personally
with O drop-kck after the first touch
down.
Yale, due mainly to a last-period
squirt, outrushed Harvard by a slight
margin, 139 yards to 127, and Booth
connected with series of short passes
with the end of the game in sight, bu:
the f1gures failed to reveal how COM
pletely the Ellis were outplayed, out
charged and outgeneraled.
Albie's Gains Few.
Booth was unable to shake of the
Jinx that has beset him In athletic
combat with Harvard The mighty
atoms" freshman game with Harvard
resulted in defeat. His dramatic entry
INTO the game at Cambridge a year ago
proved boomerang and his most des-
perate efforts today were smothered for
the most part by the hard-driving, alert
Harvard forwards led by Ben Ticknor.
Albie's longest dash from scrimmage
melted IL yards. All told he advanced
the ball for net gains of only % yards
IN 10 attempts through the line. He
completed 10 out of 10 passes, but most
or these were wasted, One of his / I
