YALE BEATS HARVARD, 20--7

In upset fashion, traditional and typical of a 58 year-old rivalry, the Bulldog from New Haven snapped and caught short a fighting Crimson eleven this afternoon. As 55,000 fans were jarred to their feet, the underdog Yale team offset a series of previous defeats in one fell swoop defeating a determined but not yet developed Harvard Varsity Yale 20; Harvard 7.

The Elis left little doubt as to their superiority excelling the favored Crimson in every department. Behind a fast charging line, Burr and Seymour slipped through for frequent gains, but Freddy Burr's passes to Allen Bartholemy made the real difference today. Special Wire to the CRIMSON

First Period Freddy Burr kicked off to the toss winning Harvard eleven and Fran Les ran back to the 32. After a good gain by sprayer he carried again but fumbled, giving Yale a break on Harvard's 38.

Three plays pushed the Eli back to the 45, where they kicked on fourth down. A fast moving Crimson line apparently outrushed the fumbling Elis.

With Harvard receiving the punt, Macdonald ran to the 25, but two ground plays failed and then Harvard fumbled twice, and although recovering both, lost the ball on downs on their own 13. It was Yale's second break on a fumble, but four plays netted no gain and Spreyer intercepted a pass on fourth down, giving the ball to Harvard on the 7.

On the second down, Spreyer prudently kicked from the goal line to Yale's 32 where the Crimson line again broke through to smash all running plays. Yale was forced to kick, and against the wind Seymour booted to Macdonald on the 35-yard line.

Three Harvard plays, including a fake kick a la Statue of Liberty, were stopped cold, and Spreyer again used the wind to good advantage on a fifty-yard punt to Burr.

The kicking duel continued and Burr and Spreyer exchanged quick kicks. Yale got possession on the Blue 40 as the quarter ended.

Second Period

On a series of line smashes, the Elis eaked out the first first-down of the game, crossing midfield to the Harvard 45, and then without a receiver in sight Burr broke through for an 8-yard gain. Off his own right side, Seymour dashed 22 yards to the Harvard 13.

A flat pass from Burr to Bartholemy caught the Harvard secondary napping, and it was Eli's first and four on the four yard line, Gene Levett finally downed the Yale receiver.

A running play failed and then the Burr-Bartholemy combination clicked again with the Blue right end falling over the white line. Howard Kaye came in to kick the point and he did. Yale 7. Harvard 0.

Following Burr's outside kickoff, Torbie Macdonald took the ball from his 35, slanted over tackle, and was finally stopped 25 yards later by the Eli safety man. A first down pass from Torbie to Mac Kinney brought Harvard up to an inch of a first down. Spreyer made that much on Harvard's first down.

Outrunning the Eli front wall, Macdonald swept through his right end for five yards, but the Harvard attack stalled after a 40 yard advance and Yale took the ball on downs on its own 21. Burr's quick kick went over MacDonald's head and went out of bounds on the Harvard 29. Spreyer and Macdonald hit the guards for eight yards. A Yale offside gave Harvard the ball on first down on the 40.

But Macdonald attempting to pass, was bounced for a 7 yard loss.

Spreyer was forced to kick and Burr ran back ten yards to the Eli 45 yard stripe. Two plays and no gains, so Seymour punted out of bounds on Harvard's eight yard line with the best kick of the afternoon.

With Macdonald carrying the load, the Crimson drove to a first down on their 20, but Spreyer had to kick and the Elis took possession at midfield. The half ended after a single no gain play with Yale leading 7-0.

Third Period

With Heiden in for Spreyer, the Crimson opened in the first half. Lee took the kickoff to the 30. Torbie passed to Mackinney for 10 yards and then tossed another which bounded off an Eli into MacKinney arms on the Yale 35.

Macdonald to Lovett failed once, but clicked on the next play to the 23 yard line. On the fourth down, Torbie passed to the end zone but Whiteman slapped it out of Lee's shorter arms.

A 65-yard Eli quick kick put Harvard back to her own 21 from where Macdonald kicked just past midfield. Again the Eli coffin holed the Crimson with a kick to the 17. A Macdonald pass deep in Crimson territory was then intercepted by Whiteman and the Ellis were in scoring position on Harvard's 27.

Bartholemy's fourth down catch of Burr's pass apparently spelled doom for the Crimson, but he was beyond the end zone so there was no score. The ball went to Harvard on the 20.

Burr churned through guard for another touchdown., but an offside called the play back. The new fighting Elis pushed through to the two and on the fourth down Seymour ran off tackle with five charging Harvard's for the six points. Again Kaye came in to kick the point. Score Yale 14, Harvard o.

The period closed after the Eli kickoff and a Macdonald center plunge had placed the ball on the mid stripe.

Fourth Period

When it was Yale's turn to fumble and Dick Paster fell on Burr's dropped ball on the 37, Whiteman's interception stopped short Crimson joy two plays later.

As the game drew to a close. Torbie filled the air with desperation passes. He had played a great game, but no one could pull out a victory from the alert Bulldog.

Seymour recovered a Harvard fumble on Harvard's eight yard line with only three minutes of playing time to go. Macdonald fumbled and Seymour recovered and on the next play went over and scored for the Eli. Yale missed the extra point. Macdonald made touchdown.
