Show MEN IN BLUE Ya!e ins Victory ' Over Harvard, (Vien in Crimson Were No Match for Sons of ' Eli. Thirty-Two Thousand Spectators, Including In-cluding the Vico-President-Elect, Witnessed tho Contest. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 19. Talo earned a victory which wa3 In every way satisfactory to her friends over her old-tlmo old-tlmo rival, Harvard, In tho presence of over 32,000 spectators, on Yale field, this afternoon, the final score being 12 to 0. tho same as that In her. victory over rrlnceton a week ago." Tho game was ono !n which tho men In blue proved tho superiors su-periors of a brawnier sot of opponenla, both In the art of offense nnd defense. In tho first place through better team work with a few simple formations, and In tho second Instance through her ability to stop or break up any play, whether of a plunged character or used as a subterfuge to turn her Hanks. Yalo was not called upon to uso a formation which had not been shown In her games of the entire season, and at no time was there any doubt of the oulcomo. Yale's Fine Wrk. Harvard placed some reliance on plays which wero Intended to gain ground by-runs by-runs around tho end, and In nearly every Instance these failed. The precision with which Yalo moved her plays all tho time, united action of her backs with tho llnu-men. llnu-men. stamped Capt. Hogan's team as ono of tho most rmnrkable which over went on a field to uphold tho glory of the blue. To Harvard, however, which Bent a team of unknown quality, must bo given the credit of playing a wonderful ganvj on tho defense, and of showing at times In the second half flashes of Inherent brilliancy bril-liancy on the offensive. t Game a Tedious One. The game Itself, as a whole, was somewhat some-what tedious. It was almost devoid of sensational plays, and Its ono brilliant Incident was the blocking of Sperry'o punt In tho second half, which brought Yale's second touchdown. Even this was better appreciated by football men thomsclves than by tho spectators. Tho crowd was probably the largest that has over seon a football game In this country. Tho weather was that of an Indian summer day. No such throng over Invaded this city and the means of transportation trans-portation to and from tho city, nmplo as It was thought they were, wero totally Inadequate. In-adequate. Fairbanks Was Present. Among the distinguished spectators wero Vice-President and Mrs. Fairbanks. J. Plorpont Morgan and August Belmont. Miss Alice Rooaevelt. with a party of girl friends, sat In the Harvard section. Despite all precautions, the gamo was a little delayed at the start and fo slowly did It progress that dusk was falling when tho end came. Yale Played Fast. Yalo played faster than the Crimson and wont from beginning to end without a change in tho llnc-up. Harvard played many substltute In places of men who seem to have been used up In scrimmages, scrim-mages, but luckily no player was seriously serious-ly hurt. Game Was Rough. At times tho game was rough. In cvory position Yale had tho advantage. Her linesmen outplayed the men against them. Hoyt outclassed Sperry. and Nichols In punting was a worthy successor succes-sor to Mitchell. On Harvard's sldo Brill showed up boat, although Matthows. who replaced Randall, did finely. Yale's First Touchdown. Yalo got her first touchdown by consistent con-sistent rushing In Harvard's territory In tho first half. The second came through a blocked kick In tho second half. Harvard's Har-vard's most successful attack was a cross buck, which several times opened holes In Yale's lino through which, singularly sin-gularly enough, tho backs could make no pronounced gains. When the game was over Yalo men began a celebration of their victory. Tho line-up follows: Yale. Harvard.
