New Haven, Nov L'3 ? Thirty-four
thousand perjons saw Harvard heal
many old football sores on the gridiron
h?re to-day by fairly QTUahlaf Uat ftit
elevan by a score ol *J<? 00 *). Damaging
fmnhl? led an to two UhmImIowm and
??ne goal from the field, while ?m inter
oaptad forward V'?ia* for * J.ishmg run
of f'?rty yards apa?ad the way to an?
other of Chnrley Brickley's acturat?
drop kicks. It ?eenKvl almost as W
Harvard won by a whimsical turn of
what for years and year? has been
called Yale luck, for ?iirely the Crimson
profltad by th? "breaks" of the gam?
.this afternoon in gracplng ev??iy op?
portunity and making the most of th?
costly mistakes which marrad the play
of the Blue.
Not on? Jot or credit must be taken
from those men of Cambridge, but it
wa? to their al?rtness, vigllanoe and
eternal watchfulness that victory was
due, rather than to any marked supuri
orlty ia play or methods. The Hsr
viVrd attack waa more elastic, more
varied, but no whit more powerful than
that of Yale, while the defence was
hardly ?o oompact and sturdy, particu?
larly In the sei-ond half. But theCrlm
non men handled the hall more cleanly
and followed it perhaps mor? closely,
whereas the Yals player? fumbled away
their chances In a way that made Yule
men shudder.
Storer Makes First Touchdown.
Storer, the Harvard tackle, scored the
flrat touchdown for the Crimson toward
the end of the first quarter. He
snappsd up the ball as It came bound?
ing into his arms from a fumble by
Wheeler, after catching a punt, as
Hard wick made a diving tackle, and,
with a clear field, raced thirty yards
and over the goal line for the first
?cor? of Its kind made by a Harvard
man against Tale in eleven y.,?r?.
Hardwlck kickad the goal.
Two minutas later another bad fum?
?la by Wh?el?r gav? Hitchcock a
ohanc? to fall on tha ball for Harvard
at th? oaatrs of tha field. On th? next
punt a penalty waa imposed against
Tale for interference, and the ball went
to the Crimson on lalea 25-yard line
The running attack failed, but Charley
Brickley, who did ?o much in beating
Princeton three weak? ago, ?tepped
back to th? 85-yard lin? and drop
kicked a goal from the field in a way
that made it look like tha eaaisat thing
in th? world.
The second touchdown earn? early in
the third quarter. Flynn fumbled a
punt, nnd some wideawake Harvard
innu was on the hall like a flash on
Yale's 18-yard Une. Then Rrlckley, on
a drop kicl^ formation, drew in the
Tale defence and went hurtling around
Avery s and for a touchdown at the
extram? aerner ?f the flaUaV. Falt?n
I puiitod out to Wendell on the 15-yard
line, an'! Hardwick kicked the goal.
Brickley Plsys Leading Part.
B-'?ore UM period ended the final
score waa hung up, and ...gain It waa
Piickley, the ever-present Hrlckiey, who
made it possibla lie iiit?-rcept?Kl a
t :?vard pass deep In liis ?iwn t?;rritory
sM?'steppu,? S couple of tacklers,
laid and ploughed his way along for
a brilliant run of forty yards before he
was laid low from behind on a des?
perate tackle by pumpeliy. He carried
the ball to Yale's 24-yard line, h.jw
?v? r. and after h?' and W? n?lHI had
? arri?-! it four yard? u?>arer, only to
be check?jd by Yale'- ?'.' rp< : 'te defence,
thin all ??round athlete, who found a
ptass on the Olympic team lust sum
ni'ir. ?hot one nn?re drop kick over the
,r,iHS bar and between the ?.?ista with
the precision and accuracy of a marks?
man.
Yale had tu o long chancea to score
early In the game, and two good
? bances to strike in the last quarter.
In truth, it was Yule's sudden awaken?
ing in the ilnal period that furnish? 1
i,ne of the most inspiring features of a
thrilling and spectacular game. Taking
the ball on th?jir own IB-yard line, the
wearers of the Blue fought their way
along by straight rushing for a march
down the field of aixty yarda and w.?r?
?topped only on the 10-yard line, where
the ever-tightening Harvard defence
checked the advance so that tha ball
waa lost on downs. It would have been
?iasy, no doubt, for Pumpeliy to drop
a goal from the field, but all hope of
v. Inning waa gone, and Yale rnvn were
trying for a touchdown by straight
ruahing to aeauage somewhat the bit?
ter defoat.
Not satisfied, the Yale men once more
took the ball, after Fnlton had punted
momentarily out of danger, and again
< arried it to within atrlking distance
of the Crimson goal line. Time was
short and the third .wurnlng had been
given, but Just aa Pumpeliy dropped
back to the 31-yard Un? to try a goal
from' th* field, th* head linesman
rushed out with hand upraised, and the
game waa over.
The Harvard Men Catlebrate.
