  CrimSonS Went Down in Over- wheIming Defeat IT WAS A TERRIBLE ONSLAUGHT Warrior of the Blue Administered a Waterloo to Their Opponents to the Tune of 28 to 0-DetaiIs of the Game. New Haven, Conn.,, November A.-Victo- “ long delayed perched upon the blue ban ner of old Yale today when the football team of the New Haven University smoth- cred the crimson of fair Harvard in the annual football contest played at Yale field. For the first time since 1894 Yale scored a victory over Harvard and today she took sweet revenge for Harvards mer- ciess performance in New Haven two years ago when the crimson rejoced over the blue by the score of 17 to O. Today Yale administered to Harvard a waterloo to the tune of 2S to 0. It was Yale from the first kickoff and the warriors of the blue seemed bent on punishing Harvard to the limit In the first half Yale scored two touch- downs. In the second half she repeated this performance and in addition to tearing Harvard to pieces for two touchdowns Sharpe the Yale half-back lifted a field goal from the twenty-five yard line. In the first fifteen minutes of the game by means of her stalwart rush line, the famous tackles back formation with con- fusing variations, tore through the Har- yard forwards for the first touchdown for Yale. An easy goal made the score to 0. A few attempts at rushing were fol- ward end, muffed the ball and it bounded into Fincke’s hands. Like magIc Yales reference formed and Fincke falling behind il started down the field for Harvard’s zeal. He left his interference behind after fifteen yards and eluded the Harvard backs and after a magnificent run of sixty yards, he planted the ball squarely behind the goal posts for the second score Hale kicked the goal and the first half ended with the score at 12 to 0 in Yale’s favor. Frl rla hob fnr Captain Daly’s men, and it was not long before they began to give way before the unprecedented onslaughts of the Yale men. Burnett has succeeded Lee just before the first half ended. Shortly after the kickoff in the second period the escrimson supporters were thrown into a panic when Daly, who had been limping, went to the side lines, and Harvard had lost her captain. In rapid succession Harvards men sur rendered, and before the game was over the crimson team had played twenty men. The only Yale man to leave was Olcott, the center, who, with five minutes to play, had sustained blow on the head, and Holt took his place. The scoring of the second half was of the spectacular order. Chad wick, the Yale halfback, was pushed across the line after a series of marvellous line punges which Harvard was utterly in- capable of checking. Stillman, a few minutes later, almost un- aided, tore down four chalk lines for the fourth touchdown. Sharp’s punt out for one of these goals ended in a fzzle. Repeated Yale rushes brought the ball within striking distance and Sharpe was dropped back for his sec ond attempt at a field goal. The Yale line held like stone wall and Sharpe lifted the leather without trouble. It flew towards the goal posts struck one of the uprights and glanced through This ended the scor- ing. Yale’s goal was never in danger liar yard not once reaching point nearer than the Yale 30-yard line. Throughout the game Yale retained possession of the ball three-fourths of the time, and when it fell to Harvard’s lot on infrequent occasions to try and advance her line plays and for nations they were thrown back. The experts at the best points of observa- tion ascribed the victory to Yales magni- cent team work and the superb physical condition of her men. The Game. Both teams came into the field promptly at 2:05 After the usual short practice, the two captains met and shook hands in the middle of the field Captain Daly called Continued on Second Page).

  YALE DEFEATED HARVARD WINS THE INTERCOLLEGI1TE CHAMPIONSHIP EASILY. Crimson Team Was Completely Out clessed and Was In Poor Condition Man After Man Taken Out on Account ofInjuries--ster Plays Made by FinclSc and Coy. The Yale football eleven defeated the Harvard eleven on Yale field Saturday by a score of 28 to 0. The Crimson players were swept off their feet from the very start and at no time except toward the very end did they put up any sort of “a game that compared ia vorably or equalled that of their OPP ponents When the two teams appeared on the field and commenced to run through signals preparatory to beginning the game 1t was evident at once that the Harvard team was outclassed in swift ness, power and physical condition. While nothing can be said to detract from the glorious victory of Yale yet, 1t is a fact, that Harvard was not in movements We’re stiff and labored and consequently lacked the force that comes from swift momentum This was a keen disappointment to Hair wards admirers and it was fatal to the team. The cause is easily explained. The Harvard team was almost one of cripples and the playing of them was fatal and unnecessary error. Captain DAILY looked as if he had just got out of a sick bed. His dashing work of previous games was lacking and when he retired shortly after the second half the team was strengthened by Fincke taking his place. The same can be said of the Crimson ends-supposed to be the best in the country. They played weak football in comparison with previous performances. The situation as regards the Harvard cripples was neat ly summed up by Cambridge under graduate who said after the game: “The playing of the cripples was ia tai mistake, but you know crippled s4ars have to be taken care Of” When the changes in the Harvard team once commenced they came thick and fast and in the last fifteen minutes VI Inc SdHle d IlGdlIy new l6dul was substituted This team played alto gether better football than the other and in fact commenced to throw the Yale line back. and make some substantial gains. But it was all too late. Yale had already rolled up her twenty eight points and the gains she made toward the end of the game counted for naught Yale put up a magnificent game and | even if Harvard had not committed the ! fatal error of playing her “star Grip | pies” the result of the game could have | been different only in the size of the | score. Every man on the team was in excellent condition and it is doubtful If | ever such strong aggregation has been put on the gridiron. The offensive and defensive work was powerful and every man played star game. The team is one of stars and will undoubteddy go down in Yale’s athletic records as the greatest in her history. Every player is, deserving of the highest praise. The team worked like one man and in the mass plays which simply moved down the Harvard line this was particularly apparent In a word Yale every respect. Harvard won the toss and defended the north goal and Immediately Yale began her line plunging. She worked the ball to Harvard’s 5-yard line, where it was fumbled by Sharpe. The ball was punted out of danger and again Yale began to buck the Harvard line. This time the play was clean and final y Bloomer was showed across the line for the first touchdown, after which Hale kicked the goal. The second touchdown was made by Fincke after a ‘un of IS yards-one of the features of the game. Sawin punted the ball and in a mixup Fincke grabbed it and chased down the field with half of the team at his heels. He lost hem all with the exception of DAILY. who was cast aside in attempting to ackle the fleet Yale man. The half v ended shortly after Fincke’s great run. t

  YALE WON CHAMPIONSHIP. Harvard Beaten $50 Sensational Runs by Fincke and Gov, 6SdNGH Go-O – sensational Runs by Fincke and Coy. BY defeating Harvard on Saturday at New Haven by a score of 28 to 0 Yale won the intercollegiate football championship without a question. Yale has gone through the season play ing consistent football and fairly earned the title which she now holds. Yale is champion by reason of having defeated Princeton and Harvard, the latter having beaten the University of pennsylvania, the other member of the big four” Yale’s supremacy on the football field this year was gained by one of the greatest elevens that has. ever played the game. Yale men in large numbers claim that Captain Browns team is the strongest ever turned out of the New Haven university. 1t was certainly a wonderfully strong aggregation that played against Harvard on Saturday and it played better football than week previously when Princeton was so decisively defeated. Although the score was one sided the contest did not lack in interest. Two features were sensational in the extreme: Fincke’s run of so yards for touchdown in the first half, when he grabbed the ball which Sharpe had muffed on receiving Harvards kick, and Coy’s run of 80 yards for a touch down in the second half. when he caught the pass of a Harvard back. Fincke’s play was the more wonderful of the two, as his sinuous course took him through the whole Harvard eleven, while Coy quickly skirted the end, and had clear field with inter ferers to block off any feet Harvard men. Sharpe’s goal from the field, the last score, was also a remarkable play. The Yale men were in perfect physical condition, playing both halves without change, except in the last ten seconds, when Holt came in as centre in place of Olcott, who was ‘‘winded” for a minute by a blow. Harvard men were overturned, and several substitutes were called into the game.
