SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 25.-Har-
ward was outplayed and outgeneralled
on Hampton park today by Yale's sons.
Yale won the seventeenth victory from
the Crimson boys by score of 6 to 0.
Not far from $4,000 people witnessed
the contest, including Governor Russell
of Massachusetts, Mckinley of Ohio
and Morris of Connecticut.
Butterworth, Yale's full back, was the
hero of The hour as it was he who made
the touch down from which the goal
was kicked.
From a players standpoint it was an
ideal day but for the spectators it was
uncomfortably cold. Crowds began to
pour in early in the day, some 1000
coming from New York and at least 10,
900 from Boston. At 2 O'Clock when
the game was scheduled to begin every
seat in the great amphitheatre was
taken and thousand or more people
were glad of the privilege to stand with
in the enclosure.
1t was a magnificent spectacle re-
calling historical pictures of the coli
scum. The air vibrated with concert
of college yells and songs written for
the occasion. The Yale boys had the
lustiest lungs but Harvard scored first
by sending skyward number of Grim
son balloons from which hung blue
paper dogs.
The betting was unusually light, no
odds being asked or given. Just before
the game began the old time Yale yell
announced the appearance of the blue
gladiators in the arena at 2:05. Grim
son cries went up moment later when
the Harvard eleven appeared. The
wind swept down the Connecticut
valley from the north blowing a NINA
ture gale. Yale won the toss and chose
the wind giving Harvard the ball.
Harvard hopes ran high when the
crimson line was seen to work the fly
ing wedge so successfully against the
blue in the first five minutes of the
game, but they fell after that for
| Harvard was never again in it.
The first half ended without q score
being made but the Harvard men ex-
hausted themselves and when play was
resumed the boys in blue adopted the
offensive and rushed things through to
victorious end. Harvard yells grew
fainter after Butterworth made touch
down, and when Captain Waters was
injured and obliged to retire, Har.
vard's cup of sorrow was filed.
The game was less interesting than
last year for the spectators. 1t WAS also
rougher, eight men being injured, al
though only one, Capt. Waters of Har-
ward, was incapacitated for service.
The game began at Up. m. DR.. Philip
Schaff, graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania, was referee and W. F.
Moffatt of Princeton, '84 umpire.
The first half closed at :15 with Har-
uard in possession of the ball on her
twenty-five yard line. At the opening
of the second half Yale got the ball,
gained five yards, now yard, and
reached Harvard's five yard line. Now
Butterworth made the famous touch
down. the goal was kicked and the blue
won by to O..
There was ageneral lack of individual
playing, the ends being seldom worked
and mass play predominated. Harvard
played fancy tricks with flying wedges,
mass plays and momentum plays, but
Yale used simple plays and won with
them. The individual play of the men
OF both teams was fair.
