Crowd of 74,000 Sees Elis Take ‘Big Three’ Title NEW HAVEN, Conn.—A blue tidal wave, gathering fury at it rolled on, turned through the Yale xftsmoon, submerg ed the gallant Crimaon defenders and swept on to smashing victory. Out of the morasees of the Eli gridiron, churned into a sea of muck and mira by a torrential downpour throughout the game that beat down upon a vast but bedrag gled crowd of 74,000 banked upon the ateps of the bowl, Yale's mighty football machine rose to new heights of glory by conquering Har *.? ®> and capturing the big three crown for the second successive year. YALE OUTPLAYED IN FIRST HALF. Beaten back, outplayed and held scoreless In the first half of this mud battle In which Harvard show ed surprising strength and scored twice on field goals through the brilliant kicking of Erwin Gehrke, halfback, who was the Crimson's outstanding hero, Yale rallied in the second half and slid, half smashed Its way to triumph in one of the greatest ebhibitlons of driv ing power under seemingly Insur mountable odds ever witnessed. Undaunted by conditions even worse than those existing a year ago in the memorable fray In the mire of Harvard's gridiron, Yale came from behind to score two touchdowns in the third period, both of which were aided by Har vard fumbles and to add a third scoro In the final quarter on a 75- yard marijh through the bogs and lagoons that dotted the field. POND AND KLINE ARE SPEARHEADS. Through th last half, Harvard was helpless, beaten back-, but fighting stubbornly. . while Yale, alert and Irresponsible, drove on with a relentless series of on slaughts In which "Ducky” Pond, a hero of Yale's triumph at Cam bridge a year ago, and Billy Kline, his running mate, always were the spearheads. Together this pair of slippery, eel-llke runners bore the brunt of the Blue charge, Pond carrying the pigskin over for the touchdown that tied the score, while Kline took over the other two, all three coming on short line thrusts after Yale had steadily pounded her way lntb Crimson territory. HARVARD MAKES STUBBORN FIGHT. Thus Yale's superior, more re sourceful, attack turned a tide that at the outset took on a Crimson hue SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 and seemed likely to sweep on to complete the upsets that marked both previous "big three" games this year. Harvard went Into the fray with a forlorn hope, put up a stubborn battle, but last;; because she did not have the sustaining power to hold the advantage which smart generalship and Gehrke's talented toe gave the Crimson the early part of the game. It was a crushing setback for Harvard, despite her gallant fight, for the Crimson closed one of its most disappointing seasons by los ing to both her ancient foes the Ti ger and Bulldog, for the first time in 35 years, alter also dropping her other two major games, to Dart mouth and Brown. On the other hand, It was a great victory for Yale, which not only landed her second straight “big three" title, but closed a second straight season without defeating the Blue's claim for eastern football honors. Tie game with Dartmouth and another strong title contender and the Army were the only interrup tions In the triumphant march for ward. The line-up and summary: Yale (19.) Position. Harvard 16.)
