In one of the fastest played games on the Myopia polo field in some years, Harvard defeated Yale 8 to 6 Saturday afternoon and avenged the defeat sustained at the hands of the Elis in the indoor game earlier this season.
After five minutes of hard play, Captain Skiddy von Stade of the Crimson four made the first and only score in the first chukker. Again it was von Stade who scored in the second chukker after barely two minutes of play had elasped. Ben Forbes ran the Harvard total up to three, but Johnson and Chiffer counted for the Elis.
In the third chukker Forbes stretched his team's lead to 4 to 2, but Yale's Wooley narrowed the margin with a goal just before the end of the period, putting the Harvard mallet-men into a 4-3 lead at the end of the first half.
Von Stade opened the scoring in the fourth chukker, and Gaylord Drilling, astride the famous "Be Quiet," brought the Crimson total to six. Johnson registered the lone Yale tally in this period.
In the sixth chukker Wooley and Johnson drove in goals for the Blue, but Forbes retaliated with two more markers to make the final score 8 to 6.
