YALE TRIUMPHANT.
Great Game of FOotball-Harvard Outclassed In Batteu Chapel-Lec-

Outclassed In Battsll Chapel-Lec-
 tures for the Week.
 Once more the great struggle for vlc- l tory between Yale and Harvard has been | fought, and once more the blue has left | the field victorious over the crimson. l The gods seemed to smile propitiously on the great football game and furnished weather that could not be excelled. The day was simply magnificent and the grounds, with the exception of being a little slippery, were in perfect condition. As early as 12 o'clock the crowd of | spectators began to arrive and half-hour later there was steady stream of human | ity pouring into Hampden park and hustling to get the best seats that their section offered. At 1:30 every seat in the | stands was occupied and the spectators | began to line up along the ropes and take | any position from which they could see l the game.
 1 The western stand was given up to Yale men and Yale sympathizers, while the east side of the field was almost screened from view by the vast number of red flags that were waved by the enthusiastic sup porters of Harvard.
 At 1:50 tall Harvard student who had
 been craning his neck to announce the ar | rival of his team sang out "Here they are!"
 and as the eleven with red legs trotted out
 on the field they were greeted with storm
 of cheers and frantic waving of red flags.
 About five minutes later the team from old
 Yale made their appearance on the field
 and then it was the turn for Yale men to
 go crazy. And they did it in good, true
 fashion.
 A 3 o'clock sharp the teams lined up,
 Yale having the ball, and then began the
 struggle in which more science and skill
 were displayed than in any other game
 ever played between the two colleges. The
 team work of Yale, her blocking off and
 tackling, was the finest ever seen on foot
 ball field in America And through this
 work they won the game.
 Yale started the ball with the wedge,
 gaining fifteen yards. Again they bucked
 the center, gaining five yards. Then tLe
 ball was passed to McClung, who made a
 wonderful run of forty yards before he
 was downed A few more short rushes
 and Morrison was sent over the line for a
 touchdown, from which McClung failed to
 kick a goal. Score 40. It took Yale just
 three minutes to rush the ball from the
 center of the field over Harvard's goal
 line, and this kind of work surpassed even
 the widest hopes of the Yale supporters.
 The teams then lined up at the twenty
 five yard line with Harvard in possession
 of the ball. For the remainder of this
 half it was fierce struggle, neither side
 gaining any decided advantage, although Yale kept the ball in Harvard's territory most of the time
 In the second half Harvard came on the field determined to do or die. And they vain. They rushed the ball down to Yales
 twenty yard line and then lost it. There Yale, by some fine team work and great
 rushes landed the ball on Harvards twenty five yard line. And right here , Yale won the game, beyond accident. Harvard had the ball and it was passed to Corbett who started around Hinckey's , end. Hinckey tackled him for a loss of five yards and Corbett, in falling, dropped , the ball. Bliss, who was near by, grabbed
 the ball and by grand run made touch down from which McClung kicked an easy
 goal. Score 10-0.
 s In the next fifteen minutes Harvard, by t sheer weight and strength, rushed the ball to Yale's fifteen yard line. Then g Trafford thought he ought to sustain his t reputation and kick goal from the field l. 80 he tried it. But as goal kicker he : was not a bowling success; in fact he . yards last hope of scoring, and during tht I oA A"AS 1A1> - ball steadily towards Harvards goal, SC , that when time was called Yale had thu ball on Harvard's ffteen-yard line.
 Every man of the Yale eleven played
 an excellent game, Hartwell and Hincke, a especially. Hinckey has earned for him
 self the name of being the best end rusl o that has played since ''Kid" Wallace. 70 McClung played great game in th o first half, but in the second he seemed t' u lose his nerve, and was tackled severa ;, times for loss. He made one error u which was inexcusable, that of turnin. around and running in the opposite direc ,1 ton, after he had started with the ball. ,. For Harvard, Corbett and Lake worked 2 with all their might, but could not d
 much, because they did not have the rusl line to back them up. Hallowell ant i Newell also played a fine game, but Bang 10 and Waters were completely outclassed |, word should be said in praise of thos D who had the management of the ground ,- under their care. To MT. c. E. Stickne l' and his assistants there is great praise du \ for the creditable manner in which tha 7; vast crowd was handled. There was not ''fe break in the whole proceedings and every q thing went off as smoothly as if everyon :" had been in his seat before and knew jus
