Mass.. Nov. 25. By her quickness In seizing the opportunity afforded bv a muffed nunt. Yale today won the annual football game with Harvard bv a score of 6 to 0. The er error, - ror, error, which was made by McNIchola, who had replaced Foster at left half back, occurred near the close of the second half, and but for It, as even Yale admitted, the contest probably would have resulted as did those, on the same field In 1897 and 1899, in no score for either side. Harvard's unexpected ability to solve and stop Yule's attack was the feature of the contest. Except for one dash of 40 yarJs bv Roome in the first half and one of 15 vards by Morao in the second half, the Yale gains were short and nearly all were made by plunges into the IL'ie. The Harvard gains also resulted from mass plays, usually with the famous tandem formation, the only exception being a dash of 18 yards by Quarterback Starr, who by running tho whole width of the field eluded Yale's ends for that distance. Throughout the game end runs, Quar Quarterback - terback Quarterback dashes und doublo and delay delayed - ed delayed passes bv either team were quickly broken up, and frequently the runner was thrown for a loss. Each wide had then to Htrusgle timo and again for the neccssarv five yards. It usually took two or three downs to "cover the distance. Yale captured the ball three times and Harvard took tho ball from Ynle twice bv stubborn defense. Harvard reached Yale's 24 yard line In the second half only to be sent ba( k 5 yards for offside play. This was the nearest the crimson came to scoring a touchdown. In the first half, however, Burr made a beautiful attempt at goal at placement from Yale's 51 yard line, missing it bv a few feet. Si-ores In Last Ten Minutes. Yale's score came In the last ten minutes of olav. The ball had gone up and down the field with neither sido able to make any long, consistent gains. Hovt sent a high punt to Nichols on the Harvard 30 yard line. The Harvard back, who had Juat come Into the same, muffed the kick and Captain Sbeviln.' who on every kick during the game was down the field with marvelous speed, grabbed the ball the Instant It touched the ground. Yale had twice before been held with Harvard's 25 vard line, but Nlrhol's error seemed to tan the fighting spirit of the crimson olavers, and In ten rushes Yale made the distance to bt goal line. Noarlv all the Yale plunges for the score wore directed against the Har Harvard - vard Harvard left wing, where Montgomery had replaced Brill, notwithstanding the fact that the burlv Harvard tackle wns able to run off the field comparatively fresh.. Forbes had the honor of carry carrying - ing carrying tho ball over for Yale's only touch, down, and Hovt klrked an easy goal from a nunt out. Neither side came within striking dlstanct of the other's goal after Yale scored. Forty-three thousand people watch watched - ed watched the game In weather as warm ss Indian summer. It was the largest and most brilliant gathering ever seen at a football game In this country. Th spectators were keyed up to a high pitch of excitement by the Incessant cheering of tho under-graduates, an.l the Harvard stands, which contained fully 30.000 persons, after the team had shown itself able to stop the Yale offense and dlsplaved an ability to make short gains, became overjoyed at tho showing of the crimson players, tin the other hand the Ynle team, un until - til until Hutchinson reolaced Tad Jones, st quarterback, seemed to lurk the fight fighting - ing fighting spirit which a week ago tore the Princeton line to pieces.
