The Very Last Minute Proves Disastrous
to Harvard.

to Harvard.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. l9.-Fif-
teen Thousand people, all decorated
with some college color, most of them
the blue of Yale or crimson of Harvard,
gathered at Hampden park this after
noon to witness the greatest foot ball
game of the season and shout for one
side or the other. Harvard and Yale
were the contestants.
The two teams lined up for the in
itial rush at 2:15 o'clock. Yale won
the toss and secured the ball for the
opening. A wedge was formed and
fifteen yards made in the first sortie
Then a Harvard man secured the ball
and sent it into Yale's territory by
a vigorous punt. The Harvard
boys followed it closely, and soon
the ball was within ten yards of
Yale's line. A punt sent it back after
a hot fight and the struggle was re-
newed at Yale's thirty-fve yard line.
In that vicinity the ball remained for
some time, but toward the end of the
half hour it was slowly forced to the
center of the field, where it remained
when time was called, amid wild
cheers from the Harvard men.
The second half began amid the
widest excitement. Harvard at once
formed a wedge and the ball was slow
ly but surely crrried fifteen yards into
Yale's territory. There blue wearer
captured it and started back, but Brew
err tackled him, and securing the ball
made quick punt, which sent the
leather over the heads of the Yale men
and it was within five yards of the
Yale line when it was recovered. Yale,
which was playing desperately, made
a grand rally and at $3.50 o'clock the
ball was back in the center.
Then Upton of Harvard captured it
and made q grand run around the
right end for twenty yards, bringing
the ball we'll into Yale's territory
again. This, however, proved very
costly, for the plucky Harvard boy
was so badly injured that he was car
ried from the field.
This seemed to discourage the giants
of the crimson and q run of fifty
yards by Bliss of Yale, carrying the
ball to Harvard's twenty-five yard
line, added to their Generalization.
They fought hard, but fate was
against them and five minutes before
the time for the close the ball was at
Harvard's fifteen yard line with Yale
confident and strong.
Slowly but surely the ball crept up
to the Harvard line and two minutes
before the signal for the end of the
half the leather was within foot Of
Harvard's goal line. One minute later
Bliss scored the only touchdown of the
game and, just as the umpire's whistle
sounded, goal was kicked.
Yale won by the score of to O..
While their men were borne off the
field by their enthusiastic hackers,
the Harvards went sadly away, and
the great contest was over.
