Yale Victorious.

 Harvard Defeated Once More-Footban on n Slippery Ground and During n
 DrfzElfng Rain.
 Yale has followed up her victories over Harvard in boating and base ball by still ana other victory, this time in football. The team went to Boston Friday afternoon and took quarters at the Parker House. The prospects then were good of having a fine day. There seemed to be no doubt at Boston and Cambridge but that the Yale team would be victorious. The most extravagant and in- viting bets were offered by the Yale men, but there were no takers. Although the grounds were in wretched condition and a hard rain prevailed, it was decided to have the game played. It would have been hard to fix an1I other date for a game, and rather than have no game at all this season, 1t seemed best to have it notwithstanding the miserable wealth CT. The game called at 2:45 o'clock, al- though the special train conveying the Yale party had not arrived The train was de- layed half hour at Springfield, and on that account the party did not reach Boston until o'clock. Coaches were on hand at the sta ton and the best time possible was made in reaching the grounds 8 mile and a half dis tant. The friends on the special train did not have very enjoyable time owing to the elements and the delay. They left on the ''owr' train for New Haven, leaving Boston at 10 p. m. and reaching this city at 3:20 a. m. The party made considerable noise com ing on to the campus, and more than one student was awakened. By piling up cush- ions the different ones tried to sleep as well as possible during the long ride home One of the other passengers coming into car full of students jerked the cushions from under one of the sleeping students, and was about fn af fo hic d. but moment for the indignant student to wake up and knock down his insuIter The fellow picked himself up, glanced through the car, and then realizing his mistake left the car wiser man.
 The teams were as follows
 Yale -Rushers: Lamb, storrs, Beck, Adams, Fuller, Vernon, Harding Quarterback r Badger Half backs: Camp, Watson. Back: Bacon. Substitutes: Van de Graf, Merrill, Cuyler.
 Harvard-Rushers: Perrin, Clark Houston, Man ming, Cabot, Atkinson. Half-backs: Kent, Foster, Edmund Back: Cutts Substitutes: Morrison, Kendall Dabney, Boyd, Keith.
 The judges were: For Yale, Clark, 80; for Harvard, Tower. The referee was Loney of Princeton.
 The score was: Yale, 1 goal, touchdown, 1 safety touchdown. Harvard, goals, touchdowns, safety touchdowns.
 Yale kicked off and sent the ball out of bounds 1t was secured by Harvard man and safety touchdown was soon made. The ball was kept close to Harvard's goal through most of the inning, and it was only by the hardest work that they prevented Yale from scoring. The ground was so slippery that it was impossible to play a scientific game. The only way man could be stopped was by Jumping into him, as the uniforms were slip pery from being wet through. Passing was unsuccessful, for when player tried to seize the ball it would slip out of his hands; it could not be held even by clasping it between the hands and breast. At one time Camp se- cured the ball and ran for a touchdown; that part of the field was clear and he surely would have secured it had he not slipped and fallen. Harding took the ball and kept on, but he slipped and fell, and as no other Yale man was near the touchdown was not secur- ed. At the end of the first inning Harvard had made five safety touchdowns and Yale one. The Harvard captain was now anxious to have the game cease, and, as the rain was still pouring down, Capt. Watson favored the proposition The Harvard players objected, however, and the game proceeded. The second inning was called at $40. Watson was injured, being kicked in the face, but he pluckily continued to play Boyd, of the Harvard team, was seriously in jured and had to be carried from the field He was replaced by Manning who had been injured in the first inning and had left Har- yard and Yale now put in some hard work, but blue prevailed every time over the crimson. Yale secured the ball, it was passed to Camp and he made long kick from the field, sending it over the goal It was kicked from the side of the field and was a difficult feat to perform. The applause was terrific, some one hundred and ten Yale men bowling until they were hoarse. Little time was left, but Watson secured touchdown, and if time" had not been called the second goal would have been kicked. Yale had won, however, and had secured glory enough for one day, considering the unfavorable circum- StQ0anG hn oT0T0Io VoTa1 E1,o Y01o1 was quite feeble before the arrival of the spe- cial train. Two years ago Yale defeated Har- yard at Boston by one goal, which was kicked from the field by Thompson, '79. Yale has never been beaten but once at football by Harvard and that was five years ago. The best playing for Yale was done by Watson, Camp Harding and Storrs, and by Foster, Edmunds, Cutts and Perrin for Harvard
