After you have mentioned that a game has resulted 36 to 0, that about lots tho game out as a subject of conversation, con-versation, anyway. It is a complete summing up of the steady, efticient griud of the amazing Crimson machino 1 : throughout tho long hours of a cold afternoon; aft-ernoon; it suggests something of tho smashing attack of the iamous back-held back-held of Harvard, the plunging of tho areat Bradlee and the plodding of Francke: the long wild runs of Eddie Mah;m, the loose-limbed sprinter -who guards tho furthest outpost of Cambridge. Cam-bridge. The experts will tell you in detail or' ( the bewilderment and rout of tho Yalo men. They will tell how Frank Hin- key's flustering laterals and "Rugby passes were completely smothered by the crafty Percy Haughton, who hud ; the advantage of having seen Yale befuddle be-fuddle Princeton with those plays a. i week ago, and who had spent tho intervening inter-vening time studying up ways aud means of circumvention, Luck With Harvard. 1 They may even relate how ood luck trailed the Crimson, as ?ood luck always trails tiie winr.er, and dashed the halt from Yale hands on two occasions when It seemed certain that Yale would score. On one of these occasions, however, they, will have to credit Harvard with tho mightiest defense ever seen on a football field, for on that occasion the Harvard men were backed up right ab';un&t their own goal posts when they started to strike " back, and they struck with such effect i hat they gained fourteen yards without even having the ball. The eNpei ts will teil you about those things, but for us the crowd is the thine. The crowd and Yale's new bowl. At least, they call it a bowl. Ay a matter of fact, it is shaped more like a platter, and "nowl"' is just a nickname. Ofrlclyl- ! lv, and perhaps scientifically, it if known ! as a "stadium," and tho builders went away back to Romans and Greeks and then on down to the University of Syracuse, Syra-cuse, the Polo grounds and the Harvard held for tiu-ir ideas, after which they limit something nuite different from anything any-thing they had seen or heard of. Anthill Inside Out. : Ooi:htless tber are a lot of grano! similes that nii'iit be employed in connection con-nection with the appearance of tho bow!, but we are qohig to revert to the humble i ant or, rather, "to the habitation of the ant.

We have seen pictures of old mounds built by the mound dwellers, and the bowl looks something like those pictures. Half way ud this Yale mound is sheathed with concrete. Then there Id an embankment em-bankment of green turf on top of the concrete, and today there was an additional addi-tional rampart of raw pine on top of the embankment to make room for the extra seat?. Ingress to the mound Is by thirty tunnels. tun-nels. You duck into one of those tunnels, tun-nels, along a brief subway, going slightly j "i ward, and suddenly emerge in the bow!, but half way toward the top. The interior of the bowl might be likened to a vast roulette wheel, with the mouths otthe tunnels answering for pockets. un ever;.- side of the bowl up azainst the horizon rise the quaint cliffs of Connrviicut, fin-nishinir a great background. back-ground.
