above the crimson OF Harvard yester-
day, and every supporter OF the New
Haven college, from the king oil Ameri-
can foot ball. Walter Camp, to the
smallest boy who wants to be OH the
winning side when he grows up, is the
possessor of a joyful heart. Yale won
her foot ball game with Harvard with
tho score OF six points to nothing
Twelve minutes before the close OF tho
game $4,000 people saw G. D. Bliss, the
whitc-hcaded, popular Yale half back,
faniliar!y known as "Pop," make the
only touch down OF the game, scoring
four points, and Butterworth, the Yale
full back, kicked goal.
For an hour and three-quGrtcrs the
two elevens had fought over the ire.
sponsible pigskins and neither side had
scored. Harvard had punted out OF
bounds at her fifty-yard line and Yale
brought itin. The Wales sent her backs
in right succession to the Harvard line
for substantial gains. Five yards, ten
fifteen and twenty were gained, and the
Yale contingent, 1000 strong, went
crazy. The air on the west side OF the
field OF Hamden Park was sea OF wav-
ins blue, while not crimson flag was
stirred, Nearer and nearer the Yale
PLAYERS carried the bail until they were
within fifteen yards OF Harvard's goal
line. The Yale team had been within
two feet OF Harvard's goal limo in the
first half OF the game, but failed 10 score;
and as the game was now drawing TO 4
close it was either score or make tie
OF the battle.
EvES THE AIR TURNED BLUE.
Out OF confusion OF cries and hysteri'
cal yells came tremendous volley of
"Yale," yale" "Yalo." "Yale," every
throat Of the Yale men straining with
its neighboring throat, every Yale lung
heaving together to the beat OF blue
flag swung back and forth by Yale
man in front OF the Yale stand. They
we're air-splitting yells and carried to
the heart of every Yale player the
courage to gain ground or break some
thing in the effort.
Up to Harvard's fve-yard line the
blue.legged athletes fought their way,
and then Yale slowly formed her wedge
and prepared for the final trial. Har-
ward massed her men right in front OF
the Yale players, and were just ne de-
termined. 4 few seconds OF waiting
and Stillman, the Yale center rush,
stepped over the hall and the leather
was snapped back and the Yale wedge
charged. The struggle in the south
west corner of the field. Harvard
pushed desperately forward, forgetting
all else save withdrawing the Yale
attack. Just as the two teams met, out
popped Pop" Bliss from the Yale mass
and while Harvard was still showing
ahead, he galloped to the left and laid
down with the ball behind Harvard's
goal.
HARVARD WAS PARALYZED.
For an instant Harvard was para
lyzed by the trick. Then she realized
what it meant. Looking around him,
Captain Traaord saw only whirl Of
blue that caught the Yale cheers and
scattered them to the four points OF the
compass for miles around. Every Har-
ward player was dazed by the siGnif-
canoe OF the situation, and the crimson
color in every Harvard check faded
away in the moment OF defeat. The
flushed Yale faces gave out the crimson,
but above it, tossed the ocean oil blue,
made mad with victory.
1t was a great game, and was played
on as fine field as was ever seen aud in
as fine weather as ever favored college
contest. Up to a late hour last night it
was feared that wet day would test the
loyalty OF football lovers to the utmost.
But by midnight the stars came out
bright overhead and cool northerly
breeze Tapped the moisture from the
field Of play. This morning the sun
came up in a clear sky and was just
warm enough to make more refreshing
the cool, braCing wind. No one could
have asked for better conditions, and the
town was filed with people to see the
game. Special trains from every direc-
ton brought thousands to this city all
the morning.
CROWDS RUSH FOR THE PARK.
TWAS 1880 when, by common con-
sent, the crowd started for Hampden
Park. Posted on the bridge were in
structions: "Yale to the left" and
Harvard to the right" Yale en-
thusiasts entered the ground in one
lane and Harvard in the other, and ar
rayed in gayest war paint they were no
longer inclined TO swim peacefully in
the same river. The management OF
the game, as far as handling the crowd
was concerned, was better than ever be-
fore. The arrival OF Governor Russell
was very timely lie came on the field
at 1:45 and walked up in front OF the
Harvard grand stand amid great ap.
plause.
tI: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 iurlously. The
Harvard eleven was coming to the scene
OF strife, and as the big strapping play
ers, clothed in their football jackets
and padded canvas trousers, trotted out
on the field, Harvard gave up mighty
cheer For Just one minute Harvard
had everything her own way. AT l.:53
the Yale players came on the field from
the northwest corner and Yale took her
turn in 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, when Captain Trailord,
OF Harvard, and Captain Mccormick, OF
Yale, met to toss for choice.
