Sanford, Wallis and Dexter who, it had been
feared, would not be able to play, had recovered
from theft injuries sufficiently to take part in
the game.
Captain McClung had won the toss, so he sent
bis men to the south side Of the middle line of
the field. There was really small choice, the
wind was almost imperceptibe. The ground was
a trife SOFT if anything, but that no grievous
failing. At just O'Clock play was begun.
MOMENT OF EXPECTANCY.
As the Yale snap-back stopped over with the
ball there was a hush. You could almost have
heard a handkerchief drop. Vale formed for
rush and drove Sanford four yards forward before
he was downed. Another time the ball was
snapped back, and this time Bliss shot at the
Harvard centre. McClung was the next Yale man
TO get the ball and the Yale crowd arose wild
with JOY when the mighty captain went around
the left end and gained twenty-five yards. Meteor
mick and McClung made gains, and the ball was
dangerously near the end of the field Another
lineup and Morrison got the ball. The Harvard
men rushed on him like tigers, but he pulled
them across the line and scored a touchdown.
This was just four minutes after play was begun
Ten thousand Yale adherents arose as by one
impulse and cheered until it seemed as IL they
would ruin their vocal cords. Flags were
frantically waved, and the pandemonium lasted
until McClung made ready to Try for a goal. He
measured the distance carefully with his eye, put
inisjudged 1t little, and the ball went awry
Anyway, the score was 10 0, and Yale men were
4 touchdown in tour minutes Harvard men
looked serious. Their rush line had proved

made Touchdown, Traford would certalnly
kick the goal and that would make Solo, 1ne sco nS

HARVARD IMPROVES.
But the eleven young men from Cambridge had
stout hearts, as we'll as stout legs and arms, and
instead of rafting" them, the touchdown awak-
ened them to the fact that they playing foot
ball. From that time they braced up
and gave Yale much better fight
The renewed vigor and determination were
evident at once The ball was passed to Lake
and he gained several yards. Corbett made
slight advance and SO did Lake. Captain Traf-

TRAFFORD KICKS AGAIN.
The powerful captain was as lively as ever and
made another punt TO Mccormick. The ball was
now up to Yac's twenty yard line, but it was
soon forced down the field once more. Sanford
went around the end for fifteen yards and
McClung Morrison, lefefnger, Winter and Bliss

line. Trafford then made another punt, but
had been the case before, he sent, the ball too
moderate gain. Barbour and Morrison car
ried the ball several yards and then
McClung made ore of his brilliant plays, the
finest ran of the game lie darted around the
left end and before the stalwart Harvard arms
hal forced him 10 earth, he had made thirty
wards for his side lie seemed TO go through liar
ward men as water through sieve. but the llar-
ward adherents were nothing daunted yet, and
shouted lusty encouragement to their team
After three downs, Yale took the ball back
twenty yards rather than lose Il, but
the piaslSin soon went 10 Harvard
Trafford made haste TO get IL away from Harvards
goal by a good punt which Bliss caught.
CONFIDENCE on THE CRIMSON SIDE.
At this stage Harvard made further improve
ment in her playing and the faces on the east
side of the field frightened bit. 1t was felt
that Harvard always played better in the second
half than In the first, and that if Yale was not
allowed to score before the end Of the first half
Harvard could probably win any way. Bliss and
Traford kicked a little, but no noteworthy plays
were made and shortly before o'clock time
was called. Score, Yale, 4: Harvard, 0.
The Yale side set up great outbursts OF cheer
ing and the other fellows hadn't lost their voices
tv any means, so the air was filled with clanor.
After the players had rested for little over ten
minIites they were again called to liue mp.
Harvard now had the south end Of the field and
