  HARVARD WON DECISIVE VICTORY OVER YALE Coolidge Made Spectacular Run-Yale Game Within Two Yards of Har- wards goal-Seore 36 to o. Way back in the neolithic period of football the Yale team defeated liar yard at New Haven by a score of 52 to O That thing happened in 1884, some 30 years ago, and until Saturday afternoon it stood as 8 record for matches between the Crimson and the Blue. In all the contests that had intervened there was always some sort of a match. Saturday afternoon at the dedication of the new stadium that they call the bowl, there was hardly the semblance of a fight. From the first to the last it was all Harvard. and when the final whistle blew fine score stood 36 to 0 in favor of the Crimson. the greatest tally that the men from Cambridge had ever rolled up against the Blue. It was nothing but Harvard from aI- most the first sound of the referees Whistle and it seemed as if the men rom rom Sanprldge could have done a good deal better if they had wanted Individually and collectively the Yale team was stood on it’s ear. There was nothing that the Blue could do in the way of passing forward or laterally that the Harvard team did not know how 10 stop. Twice the team that sports the RIue co!crs call7e within the zone where one nli&.ft have expected them to tally Each. inc trey were within the j va- -ci Inc. of the Crimson and each time it seemed certain that llley must tally. put on each cccasion tumble was Aadme and everything Tas lost.

Just when this turn of affairs came it looked as if the Blue was on it’s way to a sure tally. Early again in the fourth period Yale managed to get the ball down to within two yards of Earvard’s goal line. when Scovil was slammed back to the yard division. Then came an- other tumble and Yale was back to the 10-yard mark. There was only one mere chance left and a forward pass was tried. This went awry and liar yard got the ball on downs Right on top of this Watson ran forty yards before he stepped out of bounds 9ov a few inches, else he would have added another touchdown to the Crimson tally. Charley Bricl<ley was then called from the side lines and not only did the Harvard side stand up and cheer him, but the Yale side did the same The ball was on Yale’s 15-yard line and naturallyg everyone thought he would try for drop kick Someone had predicted that there would be a fake” kick if BrickIey was sent into action and so it happened The feint worked so successfully that Harvard gained first. down on Yale’s yard line. Yale appeared to get a safety once when the ball was funbled and went over the line, with a Harvard man fall ing on it. Why it was not a safety few of the big throng present could understand. Surely a Harvard man had touched the ball and had given still the officials would not allow it, If looked to most of the critics as if Yale should have been credited with at least two points. not that it would have amounted to anything outside of the fact that it woudd have been a little balm to the devastation that was wrought in the dedication of the new bown- The 1ineups and summary follow: HARVARD.
