ale wins the toss, and lines up on the north
end of the field for the kickoff. The first
noteworthy play is long run by B. Morrison,
which takes the ball we'll down into Harvard
territory, and then for forty-tive minutes both
sides struggle as only trained athletes could
struggle to gain supremacy, but neither was
able to secure point Good runs by Williams,
McClung Morrison, and some grand kicking by
Trafford were the features.
The second half begins at $50, Williams
being replaced by Bliss. McClung and Traf-
ford exchange punts and then the Harvard
men force the fight down into Yale's territory.
Corbett gains fifteen yards, but is sent back on
foul, and Bliss the new man, does some good
running. struggle that is fierce but not de-
cisive ends in an injury to Lake. Lee is put
in his place.
The ball is down near the Yale goal when
the first great play occurs. The ball belongs to
Harvard, and it is passed to Lee, the new half
back, who runs like deer for forty yards and
scores the first touchdown of the game, from
which Trafford kicks goal. The agony is
soon to be repeated, for at 4:26 Dean leaps over
Lewis's right shoulder and falls upon Barbour
as he is passing back the ball. Dean
regains his feet, catches it on the re-
bound-a thing that is not likely to
happen once in a thousand times
and covers the twenty-five yards to the Yale
line, closely pursued by Hartwel, who lust
fails to reach him. Trafford kicks another
goal, and the score is 12 to O. Then the Yale
team seems inspired with frenzy. 1t madly
forces the crimson back to its twenty-iive-yard
line, but no further, do what it may. The play
is fast and furious, but the gathering darkness
prevents most of the fine points being ap-
preciated. At last the Yale men, by
series of mad rushes and resist
less wedges reach the Harvard line
and McClung is carried over with the ball
scoring Yale's first and only touchdown, from
which b. Morrison kicks a goal, making the
score II to 6. Still the Yale men fight as for
life and there are fifteen minutes of agony.
But the crimson stands steady, and when the
blue comes too near long punt by b. Traf-
ford, with the rushers promptly down on the
man who takes it, sends groan through the
Yale benches The moon shines brightly but
little can now be made out save that Harvard,
though all the time on the defensive, is not to
be demoralized or routed. The end comes at
exactly o'clock. Harvard is declared the
victor. The scene that ensued Is indescrbable.
Harvard is drunk with its success, while the
Yale people are much cast down.
