ANOTHER HARVARD VICTORY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Saturday's game is another triumph of the "Haughton system," developed and perfected by Coach Fisher. With no stars like Brickley, Mahan, or Casey, Coach Fisher has brought to maturity a team of championship calibre.

The Yale defense showed its bull-dog characteristic when its goal-line was twice threatened. There was no question, however, where the offensive superiority lay. Harvard rushed the ball one hundred and ninety-five yards, while Yale gained only sixty-eight in this way. Harvard made sixteen first downs compared with five for Yale, but it was in the forward passing game that the eleven showed itself so vastly superior. The team started its passes in the first few plays and so successful were they, that sixteen were thrown during the game, of which nine were completed for a total gain of one hundred and twenty-five yards.

While the eleven deserves all praise for the perfect execution of these plays, we must not forget "Dick" Wigglesworth, whose crafty brain brought them to such perfection of accuracy and concealment. Harvard may always look for a victory as long as the "Haughton system" is carried out by such a redoubtable group of coaches.
