HOW HARV RD POOR TACKLING CAUSE OF BLUE'S UNEXPECTED DEFEAT Fundamental Weakness Made P ‘ossible George Owen’s Brilliant Run That Put Harvard Boys Within Easy Distance of the Touchdown That Won Game. By William Abbott. ARVARD teams seldom fumble s has something in reserve to spring at the right time. In years Yale elevens developed t coring chances. The Crimson ¢ ent remendous power advancing the ball through midfield, but failed miserably to make the grade when nearing the goal line. It was this difference in style that enabled Harvard to tri umph over an admittedly stronger opponent in thy Bowl, Harvard bad two good scoring opportunities anc scored on both, Yale had numerous chances, but the only which was none too accurate. This season's Yale team will & down In football history as one of the unlucklest combinations that ever wore the Blue. The Bulldog lost to Tows, Princeton, Harvard and tied the Army. In these four feature games the Yale team never managed to get everything working correctly at the same time, When the rushing of- fense was strong the forward pass- ing missed. Luck never once emiled on that husky Blue squad, Poor tackling was the fatal weak- ness in Saturday's battle with the Crimson. The Blue players appeared to have forgotten one of the chief fundamentals tp football, It was this weakness that made Owen's brilliant run possible. ‘With a fifty-mile gale blowing down the field tt was epparent the rival Kickers would play a deciding role in the struggle. Two minutes after the starting whistle O'Heurn, against ‘he wind, sent a pretty punt ino Har- rd's territory. Spinning down to earth the pigskin hit a Crimson player and bounded directly to Owen, ten yards away. Quick as a flash the Crimson star scooped up the ball and headed for the Yale goal! line. Racing over the chalk lines with the power of a runaway truck, Owen twisted himself out of the clutches of at least eight expectant tacklers. In the backfield, O'Hearn made a desper- ate drive and missed badly, Hulman, eprinting across field, nailed Owen cn ‘the 4-yard line after the Crimson siar completed @ brilliant run of 66 valu- able yards. PROPER TACKLING WOULD HAVE STOPPED OWEN. Had the Blue warriors tackled properly Owen never would have gone far. The Yale team just seemed to ‘tug Owen as he thundered by. With the ball within easy, scoring rang ‘Harvard tried two smashes, but found the Blue line strong and unyielding. Capt. Buell rushed in to take charge at this stage, and on the next play gave the ball tv Owen, who crashed through tackle and never stopped until the goal line was reached. Owen also kicked the goal After this disastrous start the Bull- Gog rallied and soon threatened thelr opponent's goal. Hammond fumbled the kickoff and Yale recovered. On delayed line bucks the Blue worked the ball to the 5-yard line and then ran out of gas. At this critical time Yale never made use of # neat aerial attack that in the closing fifteen min- utes of the game gained half the I.ngth of the field. Line plunges were ordered and the Crimson line threw them back. With one chance remain- ing, O'Hearn's attempt for an casy field goal missed and thus went the Blue's best chance of the entire con- test. After this setback Yale never came closer than fleld-goal range, although it was fairly easy for the Bulldog to advanee through midfield. Alded by the strong wind O'Heurn managed to kick a oal in the sec- ond period, the only successful at- tempt in four chances Harvard came within scoring range in the fourth ‘period. faffman cams scoring weapon was O'Hearn’s toc, YALE SETS RECORD IN FOOTBALL RECEIPTS; MAY TOTAL $500,000 NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 27. —Financially Yale has broken all American intercollegiate foothall records this season, it is said.

YALE REVEALED A CLEVER PASSING ATTACK, Throughout the second half Yale opened up wonderfully and revealed a clever passing attack. The full strength of the overhead game was not utilized until the final minutes when with Bench and Neale in ac tion the Blue marched half the length of the field when the final whistle sounded. There's no telling what would have happened had Beneh and Neale gone in earlier. .t another instance how the Blue's strategy miscued, not only aguinst Harvard but in the other big games. Harvard deserves high words of praise for its splendid comeback after losing to Brown and Princeton Owen's early run supplied third rail power to the Crimson eleven thut co- ordinated its brain and strength in every play. Capt. Buell was out of the game half the time, but the team carried on just the same The Crimson introduced a new star in Jack Hammond, who was the Key- note of last year's freshmen ageregn- tion.

The kicking on both sides was far above the average. O'Hearn punted cl y. but was outdistanced by Hammohd and Gehrke. In tye final period Gehrke, with the wind, kicked one punt that went fully » fiv yards.
