  VICTORY IS YALE’S HARVARD DOWNED BY final SCORE OF 6TO 0. It Was q Desperate Battle From Start to Finlsh-Has Had Few Equals Since Two Universities Have Met Yale champions Of the Country Other Important College Games. L Yale champions Of the Country Other Important College Games. New Haven, Nov. 25.-Yales bright blue banners wave triumphantly over the city, the signal of another victory over Harvard, the final score being 6 to 0. The crimson went down to defeat in a desperate battle, which in football strategy and spectacular plays has had few equals since the two uni versities have met. To Yale passed the almost undisputed title of the college championship Of the country, clouded only by the drawn no score contest with Princeton a week ago. A victory for the crimson would have meant first honors beyond question, for she had beaten the Carl isle Indians, who last week won from Minnesota, and who also had defeated the University of Pennsylvania, the conquerors of the University of Michigan. For this reason, If for no other, the game on Yale field was of unprecedenied Importance and to Yale once more has come victory which will live forever in her athletic history. It was a victory won through football knowieage. superior play. almost unerring accuracy in developing the pos sibilities of the new rules and the magnificent work Of her players. The score of single touchdown and goal repeats that of last year on Soldiers field, and 1t adds to Yale’s string of victories, only twice broken since 1897. Harvard proved a worthy foeman. Her men repeatedly shone conspicuously and there were flashes of brill liancy as time and again her backs broke through the line and her stall wart guard, ourr, sent the ball twist ing through the air on long punts. Harvard was a tr.ne slow in executing her plays, which, as last year. seemed to hinge on her great strength IN defense. Yale’s success lay in playing Of fensively at the opening, driving her plays hard and taking advantage Of every opening when her opponents had the ball. Interference, forward passes and on side kicks were well developed. Not once did a Yale man have to run down the field without aid. AS the game was nearing the close Yale played faster and rolled the GRIM son line into heap time and again. 1t was only Harvard’s stubborn contest of every inch that kept the score at the single figures. The Touchdown followed sensation al play. Yale had the ball on Har- Yards rs yard line. Jones called for 4 kicking formation. Veeder dropped back to the “a yard line with his lands outspread. A perfect pass from Hookenburger sent the ball into his lands, and Veeder like fash started at right angles and hurled the ball over the heads Of the Harvard men for 80 yard pass, to where several Yale men, as though drawn by a magnet, lad jumped into one little knot. Up rom their midst leaped Forbes, who ‘aught the ball and in an instant placed 1t down on the four yard line. Up rose the Yale hosts with cries for touchdown, while the crimson side vas hushed. Roome, who had replaced Knox, was sent to smash the crimson inc. His first try gave two yards. and next time he was shot over, with the Whole team dragging and pushing him. That four yards showed what Yale ‘ould do when she was hungry for the core which was so close at hand. The licking Of goal was an easy thing or Veeder. The gridiron was framed with q mass of humanity, in which three sides we’re blue and the other crimson. The heering and singing, while good, fell ar short Of that of previous years, ,xplainable only by the fact that lAe ‘pectators did not have much time to ‘ay attention to the cheer leaders. Not seat was vacant. and at the gate the sale Of tickets brought phenomenal ,rices, one pair changing hands at $50. The game opened under gray skies, but was concluded in radiant ‘unshine and under a canopy of blue. The Harvard stands at the opening ‘heered Yale and Captain Morse, and he opposite side returned this compliment. At the close Of the game the lubilant Yale host stood bareheaded for Is minutes in front of the Harvard stand cheering and singing to the crimson, the latter responding. Yale has always cheered Harvard, but new. .r before has she turned it into an ovation. | At Chicago. Chicago.-Walter Eckersall, quarter.

Yalc’s Fine Interference. Interference for the runner, the forward behind line pass the on-side KICKS were all we’ll developed. Not once did a Yale man have to run down the field without assistance. AS the game was nearing It’s close, Yale played faster and rolled the crimson line into a heavy tangle. 1T was Harvard’s stubborn contest of every inch of her own ground that Kept the score at the single figure. How the Touchdown Was Made. The touchdown was brought about Dy sensational play. Yale had tho Dali on Harvards 25-yard line. Jones called his signals for a kicking for nation. Elder dropped back to the 2a-yard line with his hands spread. ‘Arperfect pass from Hokenberger sent the ball into his hands and Veeder like flash, started at right angles and hurled the ball over the heads Of Harvard’s men for a 30.yard PASS to knot Of players, who, as “ drawn by a magnet, had jumped INTO one little knot, and up from the midst leaped Forbes, who caught the pull and instantly dropped on the 4.yard line. Up rose Yale with cries for a touchdown, while the crimson side Vas hushed. Roome, who replaced hnox was sent to smash the GRIM son line. His first try at Harvard’s line was stopped, and the next time ne was shot over with the whole team dragging and pushing him. That four yards showed what Yale could do when she was hungry for tne score which was SO close at hand. ‘Ehe kicking Of goal was an easy thing for Yeeder With the score 6 to 0 Harvard was compelled to change her style of at. tack,. and Burr was called upon to put the ball out of danger with his toe. The first part of the second half resolved itself into puntlng be. tween Biirr and Veeder. Outcome is Certain. From then on the outcome seemed certain. Yale, with new players, put fresh life into her team and the last Ave minutes of the half there was a march down the field. This began with Fosters tumble. which Forbes took advantage Of. From then on 1t was case of smash Ing into the Harvard line until Park was replaced by Frazer, which show. cd that Yale had found the weak place. Rush after rush swept the Harvard team back forciby until the bail tasted on her 15.yarl line, Yale was moving like a batterlng ram and an. alter touchdown apparently was pre- NSntcd by the referees whistle end Ing the game. g.!E An ovation to Harvard.
