HARVARD DEFEATED YALE

The University basketball team defeated Yale last night in the Gymnasium by the score of 25 to 9. The game abounded in unnecessarily rough play, tripping and holding. On this account an unusually large number of fouls were called In the second half Quigley was ruled out for striking his opponent, Noyes, and shortly after this the latter, who had been repeatedly warned by the umpire for his numerous offenses, was also disqualified.

The game was a hard-fought contest from start to finish and the players clung to each other so closely and were so aggressive in intercepting passes that little opportunity was given for team play. Several times after Griffiths and Burnham had by clever dodging, dribbled the ball the length of the floor, no one was able to free himself to try for a goal. Griffiths missed every free try in the first half, but in the second half steadied down and threw eight. Amberg did the most brilliant shooting, and scored two very difficult shooting, and scored two very difficult baskets. Brooks, who replaced Quigley, had a hard fall, but continued in the game. Fargo, the Yale centre, had the advantage on the toss-up and prevented Harvard from using signal formations to good effect. Clifford did the best general playing for Yale.

Yale began the game with a rush and took the lead with one goal from the floor and one on a foul. Griffiths missed a free try and Quigley catching the ball as it fell threw the first basket for Harvard. Another foul on Harvard and a basket by Griffiths tied the score. Soon after this Amberg by a long shot gave after this Amberg by a long shot gave Harvard the lead and two baskets by Griffiths strengthened this advantage. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 6, Clifford having thrown four goals on fouls for Yale.

In the second period Harvard scored only three baskets from the floor, but Griffiths took advantage of Yale's fouls and added eight points. In this half the Harvard team was able to do more passing and, although the play was not confined to one end of the floor, Yale was allowed few tries for baskets.
