HARVARD DEFEATED IN GREAT GAME

Yale defeated the University eleven last Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. The victory may be credited chiefly to the perfection of the team work which the visiting team possessed. Yale's players as individuals were no better than Harvard's, nor did they play as brilliantly, but her concentrated attack and ability to push the ball over the goal line when once within striking distance, was what brought Yale out of the contest victorious. It was a game in which eleven individuals played hard and well against a more perfectly working, machine-like team, equipped with an offense that was able to gain ten yards in three downs by means of straight football.

The improvement which the Harvard team showed over the previous games was wonderful. There was no lack of aggressiveness and of fierce, hard playing up to the very end of the game. Where Harvard had been considered weak, she was strong, and those players who were known to be strong, put up their very best games. No scrimmage had been held since the Dartmouth game; but the effects of the coaches' work was everywhere evident, and above everything else the change that Coach Campbell had brought about in the ends was strikingly shown. It had been the aim of the coaches throughout the year to develop the ends, and the way in which the latter played on Saturday proved conclusively that the effort had been successful. Their tackling, as was that of the whole team, was as fierce and hard as has been seen in the Stadium for some time.

Wendell, Newhall and Macdonald played the most brilliant games, for the University team. Wendell's 27-yard end run just before the close of the game was, except for Brides's run in the first half, the longest run of the day. Throughout the game his hard running was a feature. Newhall's work was exceptionally good. In spite of the bandage over his eye, he caught and ran back punts almost perfectly, and his generalship was excellent. Although not Harvard's regular punter, he was called on to do most of the kicking on account of Burr's being slightly overtrained and slow in getting his punts off. Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them effectively. Macdonald's playing exceeded all expectations. In previous games he had been slow in sizing up the plays of opposing teams, and his tackling had been weak, but on Saturday he was always ready for Yale's fake kick runs, and he tackled hard and surely. Starr also filled his position well and, as usual, his tackling was his strong point. From tackle to tackle it was a stand-off between the two lines on the offense, with a slight advantage in favor of Yale in defensive work. Parker, although suffering from his old injuries, played throughout the first half and was in every line play. Hoar, who took his place, played and aggressive and strong game. Grant, at centre, frequently broke through the Yale line and stopped end and tackle plays. Pierce put up the best game that he has ever played and repeatedly had the jump on Cooney. Burr was somewhat overtrained but he held his own well with Captain Biglow. Apollonio did some magnificent secondary defensive work behind the line, and was frequently called upon to stop the Yale backs in their heavy mass plays. Rand also played a good defensive game, and interfered well for Wendell's end runs, but could not gain ground himself consistently.

For the Yale team, Captain Biglow at right tackle played the best game. He was down under every punt and did much of the tackling, and he opened up good holes for Foster and the Yale backs on the offense. Alcott gained lots of ground by his beautiful catching of forward passes. Coy did not play as brilliantly as usual. His punts were sent off quickly and for good distance, and he usually gained his distance through the line when called upon. Brides and Philbin made some very pretty runs, usually just outside of tackle.

The First Half.

T. Jones received Burr's kick-off and ran the ball back 10 yards to the 30-yard line. Coy punted outside to Harvard's 25-yard line. On a fake kick Apollonio gained three yards through centre. Newhall dropped back to punt, but the Yale team, expecting a fake play, were taken off their guard and Macdonald, by fast work, recovered the ball on Yale's 20-yard line. In two plays Wendell gained only two yards and Parker tried a goal from the field, but the ball went to Jones on the 6-yard line.

Peirce stopped Bomar for no gain, and Coy gained two yards through tackle. Alcott recovered Coy's onside kick on Harvard's 24-yard line, and it looked as if Yale was off for a touchdown.

T. Jones caught the ball and carried it to the middle line, starting Yale off again for the Harvard goal. Bomar's onside kick was recovered on Harvard's 33-yard line, after Rand and Newhall had missed the ball as it bounced along the ground.

Coy punted to Newhall, who was downed on Harvard's 40-yard line. Wendell ran to the centre line, but as Rand and Apollonio gained only two yards in as many plays, Newhall punted to Jones. The latter's fair catch was interfered with and Harvard was penalized 15 yards. Coy punted to Newhall, who ran back 15 yards, and on the next play tried a fake kick which lost five yards. Wendell gained three yards through right tackle and Burr punted to Jones. Bomar broke through right tackle for ten yards, but Harvard's line held firm in the next two plays. T. Jones made a short kick which H. Jones recovered on Harvard's 23-yard line, thus starting Yale off for her first touchdown.
