was outplayed and ougeneraled Oh
Hampton Park to-day by Yale. and the
sons Of Elihu Yale won their seventeenth
victory from the crimson boys by ascore OF 6
to 0. Not far from 25. 600 people witnessed
the contest, including Governors Russell
of Massachusetts, Mckinley of ONO and
Morris OF Connecticut. Butterworth,
Yale's fullback. was the hero of the hour.
as 1t was he who made the touchdown
from which goal was kicked. From
players standpoint il was an ideal day,
but for the spectators uncomfortably cold.
The crowds began to pour in early In the
day. some 1000 coming from New YORK,
and at least 10000 from Boston.
AT 2 O'Clock, when the game was sched-
uied to begin. every seat In the great
amphitneater was taken and thousand or
more people were glad of the privilege OF
place to stand within the inclosure. 1t
was magnificent spectacle, recalling the
historical pictures of the Coliseum. The
air vibrated with the concert Of college
yell songs. written for the occasion. The
7 ale boys had the lustiest lungs, but Har-
ward scored first by sending skyward
number Of crimson balloons, from which
hung blue paper dogs.
Betting was unusually light. no odds
being asked or given just before the game
began.
An old time Yale yell announced tie ap-
pearance of the blue gladators In the
arena at 2:o5. and the Harvard cry went
up moment later when the crimson eleven
appeared. The wind which swept down

won the toss and chose the wind, giving
Harvard the ball. and Harvard hopes ran
high when the crimson line was seen to
work the flying wedge so successfully
against the blue in the first five minutes of
the game. Trey fell after that, for Har-
ward was never again in it.
The first half ended without score be-
ing made, but the Harvard men exhausted
themselves. and when play was resumed
the boys In blue adopted the offensive and
rushed things through 10 the victorious
end. The Harvard yells grew fainter after
Butterworth made a touchdown and when
Captain Waters was injured and obliged
TO retire Harvard's cup of sorrow was
filed.
The game was less interesting than last
years for the spectators. 1t WAS also
rougber, eight men being injured, although
only one-Captain Waters of Harvard
was incapacitated for service.
Yale won the toss and took the wind,

hands on her twenty-five yard line.
In the second half Yale msssed on Har-
wards right and gained rapidly thirty
yards. Butterworth was put through the
center for two yards more. and then he
was put through again for another three
