FRESHMEN TROUNCED BY 1936 ELI SQUAD, 32-19

Harvard's 1936 football team lost its first game of the season when the Yale Freshmen defeated them 32-19 in the Yale Bowl Saturday. Yale got off to an early lead when Mack, the fullback, recovered a fumble by Jackson of Harvard on the Crimson 45-yard line in the first minutes of play. Curtin then passed to Roscoe for the first Yale touchdown. The same combination repeated this feat a few minutes later.

Harvard scored in the second period on two long runs by Mosely, who was substituting for Adzigian. The Elis secured a touchdown in the early part of the third period on an end run by Rankin. A passing combination and a spectacular 76-yard run by Curtin in the fourth period added two more touchdowns for Yale.

The Crimson yearlings made a desperate effort to stage a comeback in the final quarter, gathering two more touchdowns, and narrowly missing other tallies, but the lead piled up by the Blue freshmen in the first half kept the Elis on the winning side of the ledger.
