Whiting.' RICKWOQD PARK. BIRMING HAM, ALA., Nov. 23.—Auburn held Vandy to a 7 to 7 tie hpre this afternoon, outplaying and out kicking them.

Weather fair; track fast. 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE adium, the fleet Crimson team off sd and by the power of Brickley’s boot, dashed to victory. Harvard had been picked to win, going into the game a 10 to 8 favorite. Harvard amassed a total of 10 points in the first quarter, crossing the blue goal line for the first time in eleven years, kicking goal and also scoring a goal from the field. Storer’s touchdown when Wheeler fumbled the ball on Yale’s 25-yard line and Hardwick kicked the goal, giving Harvard 7 points. Brickley, the success ful Harvard kicker, a few min utes later scored a goal from the field, kicking from the 31-yard line, then held and forced the Crimson to punt. Harvard scored another touch down shortly after the start of the third period. This was also due to a fumble, Cornell, a Yale quarter, who replaced Wheeler, failing to hold the ball. Brickley fell upon it and on the next play he was sent around Yale’s left end for a touchdown. Hardwick kicked goal, increasing the score to: Harvard 17, Yale 0. Brickley,- with a beautiful dodging run of 35 yards shortly afterward, car ried the ball almost to Yale’s goal line. There Yale held and Brickley dropped, back to the 20-yard line, scoring an easy held goal, making the total score Harvard 20, Yale 0, which stood at tha end of the period. The Yale bulldog never showed his determination more markedly than in the fourth, period, when with the odds against him the Blue eleven smashed repeatedly againsc the Harvard line. Starting from the 26-yard line, Yale carried the ball by successive plunges and short runs to Harvard’s 7-yard line. There the Crimson held and secured the ball. Fel ton then punted out ( of the danger for the time being. Yale made one last desperate effort, but it was in vain, and the period ended without either side scoring. Final score—Harvard 20, Yale 0. Harvard Men Frenzied. Immediately following the game 10,000 Harvard rooters jumped Into the Held and while several hundred of them fought for the privilege of carrying the Crimson eleven around on their shoul ders, the rest of them ran around yell ing in a frenzy of delight, pulling oft their own hats and those of everybody else within reach and smashing them on each other’s shoulders and heads, and then throwing them over the goal posts at each end of the field. Hun -1 dreds of them jumped on to each other’s , shoulders and hugged each other with Joy. Firecrackers were shot off in all parts ■ of the field, and the crowd went Into the grounds. i While the band struck up a lively air ’ and the semblance of a parade was started the victorious rooters then s went to the Yale stand and cheered the ' Yale rooters who remained in their • seats gloomily watching the demonstra r tlon. They responded to the courtesy ■ of the Harvard rooters with a few faint cheers. FIRST QUARTER. Yale won the toss and chose to defenii the south goal. Flynn kicked off. The ball went back of the goal line and was i brought out to the 2t»-yard line. Felton punted to Yale’s 35-yard line. Wheeler missed the ball, but Yale recovered it.
