The officials decided that It was a touchhack, however, and Vale's chance for a score was gone. Crimson Strikes Savagely. Harvard struck savagely in the second quarter.

Starting from iter own forty-yard line, Mahan, Hardwick and Bradlee carried the ball across the lime lines in rapid succession until Franc ke was given the pUskin for the linal piunge. He fumbled but following the ball like a tlasa fell on it as it rolled across the goal line for Harvard's st-corivi score.

I THSMfc jj Crimson Machine Carries Ball Up and Down Field Almost At Will. 71,000 WITNESS ROUT Grip of Game Holds Spellbound Greatest Gathering In Football Annals.

BLUE FUMBLES OFTEN HAVKN. Nov. 21. Harvard'-- football juggernaut crushed the Vale eleven by a score of to 0 in the Blue "Bowl" here this afternoon while 71.000 spectators watched the gridiron rout in Btupefied amazement. The 'rims machine rushed up and down field, almost at will, scoring in every one of th- four periods of play and when I he sixty minutes of battle had elapsed, had succeeded in rolling up the largest number of points ever registered against an KIl eleven.

With the exception of the Issii Yale victory of 4S to 0. It wns the greatest scorn ever made in the thirty-four games played since 1S75. The one-sided score fails to give the inkling of the thrilling scope of the play or the remarkable strategy and individual brilliancy with which the game bristled. Surrounded by more than a third of a mile of towering tiers of humanity, the two elevens struggled back and fort It the length ot the gridiron, every second or third play bringing the the ids to their feet, so intense was the excitement and so spectacular the play. No game of equal caliber on Eastern football fields in many years has provided such a spectacle.

Climax Follows Climax. It' seemed at times as though the con-test'was a carefully prearranged spectacle wherein climax followed climax until the spectators were bewildered by the rapid successions of runs, passes and kicks which were turned Into scores with almost as much rapidity, but always for Harvard. Far from the least of these kaleidoscopic changes were the fumbles Yale contributed in the shadow of the Crimson goal posts and which Harvard turned Into additional touchdowns. The grip of the game held spellbound the greatest gathering of football enthusiasts ever, assembled for an intercollegiate contest in this country. Seventy thousand spectators massed in the newest and fargest of college stadiums, formed a pic ture almost as enthralling as the combat of the crimson and blue-jerseyed ath letes on the turf at the bottom of the bowl.

Row after row the cement tiers rose in great elipticai sweeps, each bearing thousands of men and women, crowded shoulder to shoulder while from the blue sky. which seemed to curve down to, meet the gigantic bowl's rim, the sun shone with just enough power to take the chill from the sharp November atmosphere. So inspiring was the sight that the spectators, many of whom had come thousands of miles to witness the game, were loathe to leave the structure when the struggle was ended. Fascinated, they sat in the twilight watching the celebrating antics of the Crimson undergraduates whose snake dance, cheering and burning red fire on the tops of the goal posts gave a picturesque finishing touch to one of the greatest games of modern football. Harvard Wonderful Machine.

The Vale cohorts remained loyal to the last although they realized that the Blue had been but a foil for one of the greatest elevens of all time, how the Harvard team of UH classes with some of the famous combinations of former vears is to-night a matter of heated argument among veteran players and experts, but a careful analysis of to-day's plav cleariy indicated that no team, under the" modern rules, has reached the heights of offensive and defensive strength shown by the Crimson this afternoon. In accumulating its total of 36 points. Harvard scored in every period and by all methods except the safety.

Sole Agents For Heath's Famous F.ng.ish Silk and Opera Hats Courier -Journal Bldg. Easy Victory Winds Up Season of University of Louisville Eleven. FORD DROP KICKS GOAL SWEEPING down the field In the first: few minutes of play and holding the advantage throughout, the University of Louisville eleven wound up its season yesterday with an easy victory over Hose Polytechnic Institute, the final score being 23 to 0. Until the last quarter the Hoosiers furnished stubborn re- sfstance, but in the final period the Cardinals added a pair of touchdowns. Louisville made the first touchdown soon after the initial kick-oft.

Receiving the ball, the Cardinals made one futile line buck. Foster was then given the ball and tore through the opposition for thirty-five yards. The next play was the "shoe string" pass, and Merri weather ran down the grid iron for a touchdown. The next score came from the prettiest play of the game. Salem Ford stepped back for a drop-kick almost from the center of the field.

Few expected the effort to be rewarded with success, but Irord sent the pigrskin high over the bar and well within the uprights. No scoring was done in the second and third quarters. Louisville was the aggressor during most of this time, but Rose Poly always, held determinedly when the goal was threatened. The visitors worked the ball down the field at the outset of the fourth period, but a dron-kick failed. After seo-sawin; for several minutes the ball was Rose Poly's possession and a punt was made.

The kick was blocked by John Daniels, who recovered the ball and raced across the line for a touchdown. Louisville again hit its stride and worked the ball to the Hoosiers' twenty-five vard line. Here a forward pass to M. Daniels netted the final touchdown of the contest. Buck Vlays Well.

About the only effective work of the visitors was in the use of the forward pass. They showed a play seen here for the first time this season. Three men trotted out for the pass and one of the three always got the ball, the other two then furnishing Interference. Aside from that the work of Quarterback Buck was ensllv the feature ot the Kose eleven. The little back played most of the game for his team, both on the offensive and the defensive.

Ford and John Daniels were the stars of the Louisville eleven, while Foste.r. Meriweather and others also contributed largely to the victory. Coach Baker was pleased with the showing of his team. He stated after the game that he would leave the city within the next few days and that he did not know whether he would handle the Cardinals next year. Baker said lie positively would not unless rangemcnts should be made whereby the men could have time to train.

The schedule at the school during the past season lias uroKen up tne worK ot the eleven Kose Wins Toss. Rose I'oly won the toss and kicked off to Pontius, who returned the ball ttvi yards. The teams lined up on Louis ville's US-yard liiv. Ford bucked the line, but tailed, un tne next piay foster plowed through thu entire Rose team fur a thirty-five-i ai run.

Ford failed to kick goal. Rose again kicked off to The Cardinals were unable to gain and Ford punted forty yards to Buck, who fumbled, but recovered the ball. Rose lined up on its 2-yard line and Trimble punted on the first play for thirty-five, yards to Ford, who ran the ball back ten yards. Louisville was unable to gain, and Ford dropped back of the line and made a beautiful drop-kick from the 15-yard line. Time was called for the first period with the ball in Rose's possession on Louisville's 3T-yard line.

The second period started with the ball in Rose's possession on Louisville's 35-vard line. Neither team was able to score a touchdown during this period.

High School and Manual will me'et on the gridiron at Eclipse Park in their annual Thanksgiving day struggle next Thursday afternoon. This game Is the test of prowess and those gone are but preliminaries, victory or defeat in them altering not the scale of honors as compared to the linal battle.

The chief uncertainty exists regarding the post to be held by Capt. Adame. It is presumed that he is tilling his role in the secret practice of the team, but positive statement has not been made. Coach Vruwink said yesterday that Adams might be used at fullback. Another report from th1 training camp gave his position as end.

another as tackle In place of Campocll. Because the Crimson backfield has played much of the season without Adams, the captain is placed at end in the accompanying lineup. Webb may fill that position in the game next Thursday, pass, Wilson to LeGore, there was a loss of sewn yards. LeGore punted to Ma han on Yale's 47-yard line. There was no run back.

Conroy was hurt making the tackle. Conroy recovered and play was resumed. Francke made four vards throuirh rpn ter. Mahan skirted Brann's end for live arus. ale was onsjde and was penalized.

Bradlee made two yards through center. Manan. on a lake forward pass, added three yards. Mahan could not gain through center. Jt was the fourth down with four yards to gain.

Mahan purposely threw the ball on a forward pass out of bounds. The ball was brought back and given to Yale on downs on their thirty-yard line. Ainsworth made two yards through center. Knowles added three more. Le Gore kicked over the Harvard goal line, but Logan kicked the ball before it went over.

Vale claimed a safety. Harvard outplayed Yale in the first period, scoring a touchdown on a thirtv-Scven-yard march down the Held. Throughout the period Yale was back of her forty-two-yard line. Her lateral pass offense yvas thrown back by Harvard for losses. Malum Makes Gain.

The second period started with Mahan making a run of nineteen yards around left end. It was a first down on Yale's forty-two-yard line. Hardwick immediately skirted the Vale end for another long run. planting the ball on Yale's twenty-yard line. Malum added seven more through center.

There was a delay for a Harvard injury. Watson went in for Log-it n. Bradlee struggled through for a yard. Francke made two yards, and it was a llrit down on Yule's nine-yard line. On a delayed pass, Mahan took the ball to Vale's three-yard line.

There was a fumble on tlie next play. In the fumble the ball rolled over the Vale goal line, and Francke fell on it. Mahan kicked out to Watson for a try at goal. Hardwick again missed the goa 1 Vale kicked off ro their rty-yard line. Carter replaced Stillman.

Wal-den sent the ball to Bradlee. ami the ball was run out of bounds on Harvard's twenty-two-yard line. Again the Crimson began rushing. Hardwick made three vards through Walden. There was another delay for a Harvard injury.

Play was resumed without changes in the line. Bradlee could not gain around Yale's right end. Mahan punted to Gore on Vale's twenty-flve-yard line. The ball was run back to Harvard's forty-five-yard line. Ainsworth made five yards inside of tackle.

Knowles added three more (Continued On Ninth Page.) vidual opinion. However, in a general way the Manual backfield, with Culp and Van Arsdale as the stars, seems stronger than that of the Purple eleven. This advantage apparently is offset by High School's superiority in the line. Both elevens are hustling, aggressive combinations, and it seems that the "breaks" and ability to uncover unexpected plays will go far toward deciding the issue. Both are coached by experts of the gridiron, and the Gpectators may look forward to a contest replete with brilliant play." High School's lineup has been announced as shown, but Manual's front has ball career at Harvard by kicking an easy goal and trotted off the field amid a tumult of cheering in which the Yale, as well as the Harvard sections, joined, in a general sense, Yale was outclassed and outgeneralled, although several of her plavers compared favorably from an Individual standpoint with Harvard's! best.

LeGore's running. Knowles' line plunging, Wilson's defensive work in; back field and Talbott's and Betty' on the line, were bright spots amid the Blue' gloom. Like all recent Harvard teams. the individual was sunk in the perfect; working of the football machine with its wonderful alertness, keenness in follow-, ing the ball and smooth working attack and defense. Mahan and Hardwick were the Harvard i stars from an individual standpoint, but I It was a football team that Coach Hugh- ton sent into Yale bowl to help in the dedication of the new football stadium.

Harvard Wins Toss. Harvard won the toss and elected to defend the south goal. Harvard had the klckoff. The game started with Mahan kicking off. The ball landed in LeGore's hands on the seven-yard line.

He ran it back to the 3S-yard line. On the first play, AInsworth made a yard through center. On a double pass, Knowles could not gain. LeGore kicked to Mahan on Harvard's 2-yard line. The ball was run back to Vale's 37-yard line.

Knowles overtook Mahan when the latter had an almost unrestricted run for the Yale goal post. On the first play, Bradlee made five yards through Talbott. Mahan made two more. On a fake pass. Bradlee took In three yards more.

Bradlee made a first down" on Vale's 15-yard line. Bradlee struggled through for five yards more. Francke. on a fake kick formation, took the ball to Yale's 16-yard line. The left side of Yale appeared weak.

The rush proved a first down on Yale's 10-yard line. Big Francke struggled through to the 11-yard line. Bradlee. on a delayed pass, skirted SJkillman for a first down on Yale's iive-vard Une. On a wing shift play Talbott threw Mahan for a loss of half a yard.

The touchdown was made by Hardwick, who iook a oeauiniu iorward pass from Mahan. The run was made around Brann's end. The touchdown was made in eleven rushes for thirty-seven yards. Hardwick tried for a goal at a hard angle. Hardwick failed to kick the goal.

Score: Harvard, Yale. 0. Knoules Kcceives. Again Mahan kicked off to Knowles, on Yale's 15-yard line. The ball was run back to the 2S-yard line.

On a lateral times during the season being deprived of the services of valuable players a comparison of relative scores does not give satisfaction. Consideration of the records of the rival elevens, however, with allowances made for the absence from one or the other lineup of leading members does afford a means of arriving at the relative merits of the teams. Such a method strengthens the belief that the contenders are unusually well matched. A man-for-man comparison Is difficult and, after all, largely a matter of indi Harvard leading by 20 points to 0. With the ball still in her possess dii i ale opened the final period with a last desperate drive at the Harvard goal line, which brought out the true power of the rimson defense.

ScovilJe, the Eli's plunging back, called into the game with the ball inside Harvard's tlve-vard line, hurled himself three times at the opposing line only to be hurled back with little or no gain, although his teammates were lighting with desperate valor to help him. As a last resort Vale tried a iorward pass, LoGore to Brann. but the Kli's left end was buried under a mass of Crimson jerseyed opponents, and Harvard had regained the ball on downs. Punts Out oC Danger. Mahan immediately punted out of danger.

Following a series of rushes and punts. Mahan intercepted LeGore's forward pass and Harvard started her final march for a touchdown from her own 3 S-yard line. Hardwick and Bradlee carried the ball to Yale's 42-yard mark, where a forward pass, Mahan to Hardwick, added fifteen more. Mahan found a hole in the Yale line and ran zig-zag fashion to within twelve yards of the Eli's goal line. Here there was injected into the game the most spectacular and sensational piece of football strategy ever seen on an Eastern gridiron.

as the teams were lining ip a great yell arose from the stands and Capt. Brick ley, operated upon for appendicitis early in October, was seen rushing in full uniform across the field to the scene of play. The leader replaced Francke at fullback and prepared to execute a field goal with his famous skill and nonchalance. The Yale line and secondary defense spread out for the charge to block the kick if possible. It was but another bit of Crimson generalship, however, for Brick ley.

standing far back, was but a spectator of the play wherein Mahan and Bradlee, in two rushes, carried the ball to Yale's one-yard mark. Harvard was over eager and a holding penalty drove them back fiften yards. The Crimson regained ten yards with a forward pass. Mahan to Coolidge. while Drlckley watched the other Km players outwit the Ells.

Hrickley Leaves Field. Again the Harvard leader went through the motions of kicking a field goal while Watson made a forward pass to Hard wick for the fifth and final touchdown of the game.
