SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Nov. 2S.-There
we're 10000 people on Hampden Park
this afternoon to see Yale defeat Har-
ward by a score of to in the closest
and most brilliant game the two colleges
have ever played with each other. 1t
was q great game and fine sight, but
even a finer was the vast thrOng that
filled the four great grandS that COM
pletelV eneircled the field. The Yale
sympathizers were all seated on the
west side of the long field, and the Har-
ward men had the east stand, which had
been built Just high enough for the 0e-
cupants of the long line of tally-hO'S TO
look over the top. So the two colleges,
for every one was there. sat confronting
each other for the two hours, giving
their wells in turn and. ut times, sing

sound as was never heard before in
quiet pIingheld. Despite of all tOPr-
holdings the weather WAS inst warm

Yale had the Kickoff, but the ball was
back in her territory in short order. and

first half. Harvard was setting the
pace, and the way in which she stood
up TO her old opponents from the start
was something of a revelation TO the
spectators. But it was evident that the
two teams were very evenly matched
when the end of the first
twenty minutes found them still
struggling in 1ale'S ground
not far from the center. The work of
the next ten minutes was succession
of long punts and fierce but short
PUSHES, thd chief incident being the dis
qualification of Hanson for smuggling.
Ferris was put on i'm his place. Stick
ney and Newell were also disqualified
IN the course of the game, and their
places being taken by Blanchard and
HeywOrth. The event of the first half
was the fine run by Wurtemburg to
within a few yards of the Harvard line,
and the resulting touchdown and goal
by McCiung. which were the only points
scored Oh either side during the game.
Then the Yale side of the grounds was
heard from. and the boys in blue sang

crowd Harvard further and further

game. and the wonderful rushing of
Gill. Stagg, McClung and Wurtemburg
was making itself felt. and the superior
tackling of the Yale men was beginning
TO count in earnest. In the team play,
and falling on the ball, they were also
superior. but the half-bat play of SAKE
and the fine punting of b. TTaffOrd
helped to even things up. The great
contest of the half. however. came at
