the day was Charlie Brewer, the crimson
full back His playing was phenomenal
and ranks high with the few who hold
first place.
The game was made up entirely of kicks
and good straight plays. Harvard only
tried once the fancy side wedge, which she
sent bucking against Yale SO often.
Doctors were in frequent demand and
kept running up continually looking at
some injured man. First Emmons was
dazed and Charlie Brewers brother
Arthur took his place. Then Reese was
hurt. Wharton was put in. Brewer him
self now fell out of the lists and Gray was
put in only to give way to Gunterman.
None of the men were hurt seriously, sim.
ply too much knocked out TO be relied on.
Incidents of the Game.
Brewer scored the first touchdown and
later kicked n goal, giving Harvard score

her friends went wild. But their yell.
