This line of woUld-be spectators was
two miles long, though the game was
not to begin for three hours. Fourteen
separate entrances prevented rush,
and the work of placing the vast throng
and seating those entitled to seats went
on with little friction. One hundred
and sixty uniformed officers were on
hand early to preserve order.
The field was in the best possible con-
dition and pronounced by hundreds OF
old players TO be the finest field In the
the country. The Cambridge eleven
was outplayed and the best team won.
Haryard's weakest point proved weaker
than the supporters of the crimson had
feared. and Yale's strongest point was
mnch stronger than the most Sangulne
had hoped.
The mighty Hefilnger and the
doughty little Bliss were an invncible
Dair. and 10 them chiefly belongs the
credit OF Yale's victory. Harvard's
rush line was fatally weak, and OF little
assistance to her half backs, while
Yale's line was almost perfect in its
guarding of their backs.
Il was a kick game throughout. AZ
ter Yale had scored the first touch down
in four minutes, Harvard began
a punt. and continued these tactics dur
ing the rest OF the game. In the first
half the ball was in territory most OF
the time. In the second half Harbor
did the playing much OF the time, and
Trofford twice had chance TO try for
coal from the field, but failed both
times.
The game was called at exactly
o'clock. Yale having the ball and the
south goal.
Vale was formed in the wedge, and
made a short gain. The ball went to
Bliss. who made two short rusheS, the
first around the end, and then through
the line. Mccormick then started on
the first long run Of the game. Aided
bv fine blocking, he lodged through
almost the entire Harvard eleven,
and was not down until he had
reached Harvard'S line after forty-tve
ward run. Bucking the eltre, the Yale
hack carried the ball by short rushes
inside the five yard line, and the ball
was pushed over the line, Morrison
scoring the touch down in four minutes.
The hall was brought out, and McClung
failed on an easy goal. Score; Yale four,
Harvard nothing.
Harvard made a short gain from the
TWENTY-FIVE yard line, and then Lake
took the bali and rushed it ten yards.
Trafford punted, and the Harvard ends
cot down on the ball finally, and Halo
we'll downed Bliss before he could re-
turn the punt. Trafford punted well and
RHss tried to return it, but Newell was
we'll down the field and blocked the ball
in fine shape, and got the ball of
honnds. Time was called for the first
half with the ball on Yale's forty-five
ward line. Score: Yale four, Harvard
nothing.
The second half opened at 1913 o'clock.
Harvard formed the wedge, and made
little gain. Trafford made ire pnnt
carving the ball 10 Yale's Twenty-Five
ward line. McClung took the ball, but
lost ground. Bliss punted and Corbett
missed the catches. Wallace got the
ball. aud found fne hole,
and gained fifteen yards, which
McCormick followed with another
Gain of twenty yards. Harvard got
four downs and got the ball. Trafford
nnnted again and the place was repeat
ed after getting the ball again on four
downs. Bliss again took an advantage
of n fine hole in the line which the rush
ers made for him and broke the whole
crowd, and was only prevented from
scoring by the fine tackle OF Lake.
Harvard got the ball in scrimmage
and Trafford punted. bringing the ball
