warren-Deiaware Field Club Game.
The great Harvard Yale foot ball

the past week or so because of the rela-
tive strength of the famous football
champions, came off at Springfield,
Mass, on Saturday in the presence OF
10000 people. The game resulted in a
victory for Yale by score of 10 to 0.
The sturdy crimson-wearers from Cam
bridge put up comparatively strong
game in the great foot ball struggle but
the wearers of the blue from New Haven
came out victors in the end. Both teams
were well supported by thousands of
admirers-male and female-from all
sections of the country who cheered
heartily for the crimson and the blue.
Yale men backed their heroes with their
pocketbooks and odds were offered 800
TO $50 against John Harvard's boys.

Harvard lost the toss and Yale took
the north goal and also the ball. There
was no wind stirring and a more glori-
GUS day for football has seldom been
experienced in the history OF the game
Yale opened battle with the wedge and
from the start she gained. In minute
and a half after play began Stanford
Morrison scored touchdown for Yale
and then the adherents Of the blue were
happy. The goal was not difficult
one to kick, but McClung failed to send
the leather between the posts, and thus
tailed to gain two more points for Yale.
In the second half the Harvard men
played with much more vim and snap
than they did in the fore part of the
game and their rush line seemed i'm
penetrable until near the close of the
game when Bourbon sent Bliss through
tor another touchdown. This time
McClung kicked goal. Score 100 in
favor of Yale. The game was undoubt-
eddy a well-contested struggle and will
long Turk in the memory of football
admirers who succeeded in viewing the
struggle at Springfield Saturday.
