YALE BOWL, NEW HAVEN, Conn, November 24.-Johnny Harvard got his gun today and using his lateral pass for ammunition, shelled Eli Yale out of his own bowl with a 17-to-O defeat. Johnny’s gun was loaded from first to last, while the defending home team had nothing with which to shoot. A record-breaking crowd estimated at $4,000. saw the Harvard triumph. The defeat was as bad as it sounds Harvard today was at least two touch downs and field goal better than Yale The Ellis never had chance to score Harvard was on in front with a touchdown in the first period and there was nothing Yale could do about it then or later. A second touchdown in the third period was topped of by a field goal in the fourth. Harvard in troduced E. T. Putnam, ir., a Boston boy, who can kick, to add two points after touchdowns and then kick goal on his own account, high standard of kicking in a foot ball age when kick ing seems to have gone out OF fashion.
