Except for the Eliot squad, which lost to Pierson-Davenport, 24-12, the other Crimson squads all downed their Eli opponents. True to form, Kirkland House took a hard-fought 14-6 decision from Jonathan Edwards-Branford. After falling behind 6-0 on a touchdown, 30 seconds before halftime, K-House roared back when fullback John Gilles ran for a touchdown in the third quarter. The clincher was a 60-yd, return of an interception by Howard Needle, which saved the day for Publoball...
From then on, Kevin Czinger, Fred Leone and the rest of Yale's defense held the Harvard offense amid the swirling winds of Soldiers Field. The Crimson defense also fought fiercely, but couldn't come up with the one big play that might have jolted the Multiflex out of its slumber...

Exactly 100 years ago next week, a ragtag group of tradesmen and industrial workers met in Pittsburgh under the leadership of Samuel Gompers, a cigarmaker from London, to form the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions. Ahead lay many battles against obstinate employers as unions fought for recognition: the Homestead and Pullman strikes in the 1890s, the bloody 1937 Battle of the Overpass in Dearborn, Mich., when Walter and Victor Reuther were attempting to organize auto workers. But now, as the U.S. labor movement enters its second century, it faces equally serious problems: eroding membership and fading public support...
