Natuyrally there were penaltiesg cuch a game. Harvard suffere c of these blows early In the game for roughin, the forward passer. But | they bravely recovered and by a cou- ple of good punts placed themselves out of “difficuity. And, speaking of forward passes, upon tlie very faw occasions when either side tried them the passer could hardly get the throw away, and the receiver had n chance in the world of holding o the ball Pond Grabs Cheek’s Fumble. Harvard’'s punting was astonish 1y good, considering the condition o the pally and tooting During the first half Neale of Yale could not match these booming punts, but still he kept Yale out of difficulties. Fi period passed and the second opened without either side scoring. Yale was quicker on the ball than Harvard, | and_when Cheek’s fumble came, Pond of Yale saized his opportunity and | went racing down the fied ahead of every one. And he was wise enouzh ! while putting on all speed to take no chances on a siip or fall. He drove his cleats well in and kept steady. and no man on the other side w | fast enough to catch him. So ca | Yale's long-desired and first acqui | touchdown in the stadium for some sixteen years. | As for these other two scores the {were earned and came from two ‘goals by Yale's great captain, Mal- | just as two other field goals {once had come from another Yale | captatn, Ted Coy. The Yale line gav {punt. It {previously. This time the punt wa | blocked squarely. Yale tried to {vance by running but nobod i run today on such a field, so Mallor { aropped back to the twenty-vard i and sent the ball over with a finel girected placement kick. How any one could get away placement back on that field is a my But Mal- lory did it and more than that he kicked a much longer one later. Stevens’ Punting Helps Yale. Yale utilized her chances thu When Stevens went in to punt for the | Blue on the second half he had a !onger and better driver than Neale had shown and Yale no longer suf- fered in exchanges of kicks. TUpon two occasions Yale had less than a vard to gam for first down but did hot take any chances. Stevens kept on the pressure so that for the great- er part of the second half the playing was in Harvard's territory and try | as they would, Fisher's men could not jwork out into a position that would give them the least chance in the world to score. The back field men of each side very wisely let fall to the ground any kick and permitted the ball to do its little trick of skittering along until it came to rest rather than take any chances with that innocent but mighty dangerous spheroid. In the running plays Harvard stuc mostly to drives at the middle of th line. Early in the game Yale tried { some end running with Neale, but it was abortive for the most part. The | Blue also attempted the inside drives { which were so effective in the Prince- {ton game, but the footing was too treacherous. Neither side tried what iproved so effective for Eddie Kaw [last year at Pemn, namely, a heavy interference sweeping on the tackles and Kaw, taking = short diagonal run straight for the side.lines, simply cut- | ting off a slice of some four or fiv: yards. It worked on Penn and | | might have worked on Soldiers’ Field today. High-C s Work Impossible. t course, all high.class foot ball was out of the question, and Yale's generalship, after obtaining the lead, Was perfect, as it placed the entire burden upon Harvard. No meneral- ship could have saved the Crimson after that because a march down the field under the conditions was {mpos- sible with any weapons foot ball pos- sesses. The game went to the better team, but it was unsatisfactory to both, be- cause the conditions rendered any- thing like advanced foot ball out of the question. Many an old-time foot- ball fan made the statement that there never was a_game played under worse conditions. But these men either forget or Wwere not present upon & day_in Philadelphia when Penn beat Cornell on a field three !inches deep in snow, slush and water and with a wind so strong that a I kickout would travel with that wind all the way down the field and across the opposite goal line. Kicking against the wind the Penn punter |could get the ball only about ten | vards over the forward line. {* Harvard wore numbers todav, but {the mud soon rendered the players not only indistinguishable by that i means, but also quite unrecognizable { even by their own mothers.
