Yale Takes the Great Foot Ball Game
From Harvard.
BLISS, THE FAT MAN OF YALE,
Did the Great Act Of the Game
and the Whole Play Was so
Carefully Planned and Bril-
liantly Executed That Harvard
Gould Hardly Realize What
Had Happened-Blue Was All
the Rage and It's Wearers and
Supporters Are Happy.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, NoVemoer 49,
The blue of Yale again waved trium-
phantly above the crimson OF Harvard
and every supporter of the New Haven
college, from King OF American Foot
Ball Walter Camp to the smallest boy
who wants to be on the winning side, is
happy. -,
Yale won her foot ball game with
Harvard with the score of 6 to 0:
Twelve minutes before the close OF
playing time c. d. Bliss, the white
headed popular Yale half-back, made
the only touchdown OF the game, scor-
ing four points, and Butterworth, the
Yale full back, kicked goal.
For an hour and three quarters the
two elevens had fought over the ire
sponsible pig skin aad neither side had
scored. Harvard had punted out OF
bounds at her 5O-yard line, a Yale
brought it In. The Yales sent her backs
in straight succession to the Harvard
line for substantial gains. Nearer and
nearer the Yale players carried the ball
until they were within fifteen yards OF
Harvard's goal line. Up to Haruard's
five yard line, the blue legged athletes
fought their way, and then Yale slowly
formed her wedge and prepared for its
final trial.
Harvard massed her men right In
front OF the Yale players, and was just
as determined. There were few Sec
onds OF waiting as Stillman, the Yale
centre rush, stepped over the ball and
the ball was snapped back and the Yale
wedge charged. The struggle was in
the, southeast corner of the field. Har-
ward pushed desperately forward, for
getting~al else save wthstanding the
Yale attack. just as the two teams
met out popped "Pop" Bliss, the fat
Yale man, and while Harvard was still
showing ahead he galloped to the left
and laid down with the ball behind
Harvard's goal. For an instant Harvard
was paralyzed by the trick. Then SSe
realized what it meant.
Looking around him Capt. Trafford
saw only whirl of blue that caught
the Yale cheers and scatgoIod them TO
the four points of the compass for miles
around. Every Harvard player was
dazed by the significance OF the situa-
tion and the crimson color in every Har-
ward cheek faded away in the moment
OF defeat. The flushed Yale faces gave
out the crimson, but above 1t tossed the
ocean of blue made mad with victory.
1t was great game, and was played
on as fine field as was ever seen, and
in as fine weather as ever favored
college contest.
At 1:50 there were fully $4,000 people
on the field. Two minutes later the
crimson flags at the northeast corner OF
the field began to wave furiously. The
Harvard eleven was coming to the
scene of strife, and as the big, strapping
PLAYERS, clothed In their foot ball jack
cts and padded canvass trousers trotted
out on the field, Harvard gave up a
mighty cheer.
For just one minute Harvard had
everything her own way. At 1855 the
Yale players came on the field from the
northwest corner and Yale took her
turn at yelling. AS the players OF each
team fell on the ball and rolled over the
field in the limbering up process every
body cheered, which lasted for about
five minutes, till Capt. Traford. of
Harvard, and Capt. McCormck,o of Yale,
met to toss for choice. Yale won, and
as there as not wind enough to be an
advantage, she took the ball. The two
elevens took their positions quickly
and prepared for the opening crash.
The men were in the following posi-
