NEW HAVEN, Nov. triumphed over Harvard here this afternoon by a score of 6 to 3. Tonight the entire town and gown is celebrating the first victory over the Crimson since 1909 and the first touchdown since 1907.

The victory of the Eli was fairly won and clearly deserved. Yale sent on the field a team which was individually superior to the Harvard machine and by sheer power and ability- downed the Cambridge combination, emerging from the conflict with the honors of the annual struggle which Crimson cohorts had come to look upon as their personal heritage. Possessed of a stronger line and a back field fully the equal of Har vard tne tin eleven took up the battle after the Crimson had eone into the lead with a field goal 1n the opening period. With a steady attack aided by the break of a re -covered lumoie, Vale forced Harvard across its own goal line for a touchdown that proved to be the winning score of the contest. Yale Always Holds Lead.

Harvard put forth a desperate defense and battled viciously against every foot gained by the lue but was finally heaved across its own line under the irresistible charges of the conquering Elis. Once in the lead, the- home team never gave its opportunity to strike again and held the three point margin throughout the game. The victory was won before the ilargest and most picturesque assemblage of gridiron enthusiasts ever witnessed a football game. Close to 80.000 spectators a massed within the Yale bowl, filling every available' foot of space. When the timekeeper's whistle announced the completion of play and of Yale's victory, thousands of cheering and yelling Yale alumnt and students rushed out jipon the field, engulfing the fatigued Blue heroes as they sprinted for the side lines.

For a moment there was a seething mass of young and old, men and women, that completely hid the players. Then out of the maelstrom emerged the members of the winning team, borne upon the shoulders of tbeir classmates and the customary parade around tk the field began. Yale Hooters Celebrate. Led by the university band and the captains of the crew, track, ana baseball teams, the joyous tide swept down the gridiron in the snake dance that has become a part of such celebrations. Huge balls of blue fire were attached to the two bars at the extreme ends of the field, while squads of untie graduates fired volley after volley of Roman candles across the bars as the band played and the blue.

West Hlgh'a hopes for the stat as well as the city football championship were blasted on the Drake stadium yesterday when East High outfought, outplayed and outgamed the Maize and Blue, and held that much touted championship team to a scoreless tie. When Field Judge Billy Brennen announced that the game was finished East had West all but knocked out and 'the ball was In the possession ot the Lee township boys on West's $-yard line. More than 10,000 football fans, said to be the largest crowd that ever witnessed a game between the two teams for the last twenty-two years, packed the Drake stadium yesterday expecting West to win by at least ten points. West High supporters were so confident of victory before the game that they were betting as high as fourteen points, but when the fourth quarter ended, though broken In spirit and pocket-book, many conceded that East was tho better team. As a result of yesterday's scoreless tie the city and state championship is again In a muddle.

West East will have to share the city itle, with West, Bloux City, Mar- sliainovn Alortno. nntl other nnrloe feated teams dividing the honors In the state championship race. Algona may get a good claim to the title this coming Thursday when the boys from that town hook up with Fort Dodge on their home gridiron. East Deserves Victory. The West High team left the battle field yesterday broken in spirit.

They hoped to close the gridiron season with a great victory over thelftEast side- rivals, but tbe lads from Lee township, well coached and trained to tha minute, played a sensational gam and if any team deserved a victory lu a city championship series it was East High yesterday. 1 Never in the history of East High football has the school been represented by such a well coached team and bunch of "fighters" as those who wore the Scarlet and Black colors in yesterday's combat. Is an Eiwt High Victory. The East High team can consider yesterday's great showing as a well earned victory. Solem's youngsters, working like a well oiled machine, smashed the West High line to bits on the offensive and turned back the rushes of the Maize and Blue backs In most of the game.

Statistics of the game show that East clearly outplayed West. Solem's players made three times as many first downs as West, 16 to 6. East gained 294 yards on straight scrimmage while West gained only 109 yards by hitting the line and skirting the ends. Asliby Star Ground Gainer. Ashby, the former Boone Negro lad, again demonstrated to local football tans yesterday that he Is without a doubt the greatest halfback In the state.

Ho was East's biggest ground gainer, he alone making 118 yards through the West High team. Captain Johnson gained 52, yards, McCullough 49 find Elf 'Vr 40. Aubrey Devine was Wei. best ground gainer, he reeling oft 58 yards against East. West yesterday played In its regular form.

Its Inability to down East can be attributed to the kct that East is at least as good a team. The West Siders worked the same plays that had spelled defeat to every team they met on the gridiron this fall, but East was equal to the task, downing West High backs time after time before they started and broke up the forward nine of the ten times that they were attempted. A lateral pass, which was a beauty, G. Devine to A. Devine to Kedllng-shafer netted tbirty-five yards.

East Wins Argument to No Purpose East won an argument yesterday before the game that prevented the Lee township lads from scoring a touchdown and winning the con test.

Nebraska owes Its victory to the skill of its backfleld In shooting (lie ball "for either short or long passes over the line, supplemented by a sticky fingered pair of ends who plucked the ball out of the air with remarkable accuracy.

Iowa had done her scoring for the game when the period ended except for a touchdown by Von Lack ii when he scooped up a fumble which Caley dropped attempting a forward pass and raced fifty yards for his team's final score. But Iowa was not through playing by any The line was Just getting well into action. Laun was still in the game, sending his punts to the side lines far behind V-e Nebraska backs and the Iowa offense was demonstrating some of the best tackling the Huskers have encountered thin year.

The line showed the Nebraska backs that overhead was the best route for them and Caley was quick to realize the fact. Huskers Smash the Line. Nebraska's first score, early In the second quarter, however, was earned by a series of smashes that were tlreir best during the contest. Otoupalik, Caley and Cook skirted the ends for short gains, but were regular at It and carried the ball to the Iowa 4-yard line for a first down from which Otoupalik smashed It over. The kickout was good, but the attempt at goal failed.

Davis fumbled on the second play after the kickoff and Iowa did not again regain possession of the -ball. After a successful forward pass and dashes by Caley and Otoupalik, the latter slipped over tho top of the line for a second counter and thtB time Corey made a good kick. Score: Iowa 10, Nebraska 13.

Special: A story printed In The Des Molries Register recently that "Dad" Robs of the Drake football squad probably was the only minister, married man and father playing football In the state, brings to light that Robs has a rival. Word comes from Des Moines that Ross denies the allegation so far as the children are concerned, so Carl, Clarke of the Simpson college has him beaten. Clarke is a minister, is married and has a son, Tom, who is old enough to visit the gym with his father. Clarke Is a junior and expects to return and play with Simpson again next year.

AMES, Nov. 25 North Des Moines High with tbe aid of a benevolent Ames fumble in the first quarter, took a fall out of the Little Cyclones here today, winning by the narrow margin of 14 to 12.

Hoon put the bladder on the North 2-yar-d line and Ricketts hammered a touchdown ovei the linee In one scrimmage.
