Nov. 27 By her quickness in seizing: the opportunity afforded af-forded by a muffed punt, Yale Saturday Satur-day won the annual football gamewlth Harvard by a score of 6 to 0. The error, er-ror, which was made by Nichols, who had replaced Foster at left halfback, occurred near the :lose of the second half, and but for It, as even Yale admitted, ad-mitted, the contest probably would have resulted, as did those on the same field In 1897 and 18V9, In no score for either side. Harvard's unexpected ability to solve and stop Yale's attack was the ftature of the contest. Except for one dash of forty yards by Koome In the first half and one of fifteen yards by Morse In the second half the Yale gains were short and nearly all were made by plunges Into the line. The Harvard gains also resulted from mass plays, usually with the famous tandem formation, forma-tion, the only exception being a dash of eighteen yards by Quarterback Starr, who, by running the whole width of the field, eluded Yale's ends for tht 1Ih- tance. Throughout the game end runs, quarterback dashes and double and delayed de-layed passes by either team were quickly quick-ly broken up, and frequently the runner run-ner was thrown for a loss. Each side had to struggle time and again for the necessary five yards. It usually took two or three downs to make the distance. dis-tance. Yale captured the ball throe times, and Harvard took the ball away from Yale twice by stubborn defense. Harvard reached Yalp"s twenty-four-3-ard line In the second half, only to be sent back five yards for off-side play. This was the nearest the crimson came to scoring- a touchdown. In the first half, however. Burr made a beautiful attempt at goal from placement from Yale's fifty-one-yard line, missing it by a few feet. |
