FRESHMEN LOST TO YALE

The Freshman football team was defeated 6 to 0, by Yale on Soldiers Field last Saturday. Although the teams were exceedingly well matched, the Freshmen were a better all around aggregation than Yale and would not have been scored on but for the 100-yard run by Yale's quarterback and even this score was doubtful.

In the last minute of the first half, Harvard had the ball on Yale's seven-yard line. A delayed pass from Pope to Minot was tried but it fell short, and neither Minot nor any other player touched the ball. On the first bounce Hopkins, Yale's quarterback, got the ball and ran 100 yards for a touchdown. Pope's pass was distinctly forward, and, as no man touched it before it struck the ground, Harvard should have retained possession of the ball and been penalized 15 yards, according to the rules.

In the first half, Yale was outplayed generally with the exception of the punting, and there was little to choose between Cutler and Vincent. Harvard's forward passes and onside kicks proved much more effective than Yale's, and the open game was supposed to be Harvard's weakest point. The offense of both teams seemed stronger than the defense. At critical points, however, the Yale defense braced and played Harvard to a standstill.

In the-second half Yale had a shade the better of it, but this was principally due to the fact that Vincent greatly outpunted Minot, who had taken Cutler's place at fullback. With the exception of two tries for field goals by Yale, neither team came near scoring.

The chief reason for Harvard's excellent showing was an improvement in team work. Individually, the team is very strong, but until Saturday team work had been lacking. Yale did its best work on line plays. They failed to make a single successful forward pass, but the team work was well nigh perfect. Captain Kilpatrick at left halfback and Mersereau at right tackle were in every play for Yale and, together with Hopkins, were the stars of the team.

For Harvard, Cutler, Crowley, Harding, and Minot distinguished themselves. Harding's defensive work was excellent, and on the offense he opened up big holes.
