Back, the Hero of the Hour.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 25.-Har-
ward was outplayed and outgeneraled on |
the Hampden Park gridirOn by the |
eleven little boys in blue. The sons of |
Elihu Yale won their seventeenth vic |
tory from the crimson boys by the |
score of to 0. Not far from $4,000 peo- |
pie witnessed the great contest, includ- |
ing the governors OF three states, Rus |

Ohio, and Morris, of Connecticut. But |
terworth. Yale's great fuil-back, is the |
hero of the hour, for it was he who
made the touchdown from which the
goal was kicked.
Not one among the thousands that
wended their way to the DARK could dare
look at thermometer lest the mercury
should diSSuade them from exposing
their bodies to the blasts of the raw gale
that was blowing from the north. From
the players standpoint it was an ideal
day, but for the spectators it was un-
comfortably cold. suggesting double
supply of overcoats. The crowds began
to pour into this bustiing little city
early in the forenoon. Scores of special
trains from all directions in rapid sue
ceSsion steamed INTO the union station.
From New York city alone came nearly
1000 foot ball enthusiasts, while the
Boston specials were filled with crimson
cohorts. AS early as ~ O'Clock the
human tide was flowing parkward.
From that hour the seats in the anphi-
theater readily filled, and at 2 o'clock
every seat had been taken and thou
sand or more people were glad of the
privilege of standing within the en-
closure. 1t was magnificent spectacle,
recalling the historical pictures Of the
Coliseum. The west side of the rec
tangle where sat
THE YALE CONTINGENT
was solid ebony mass, their orif1ammes
of blue f1uttering before the wind.
The air was vibrant with the concert
of the collegians, repeating the college
yells and singing the ditties written for
this occasions. Ii must be confessed
that the Yale boys had the luster hugs.
Harvard scored the first touchdown IN
the preliminarieS by sending skyward
bunch of crimson balloons. from which
by string depended the figure of dog
cut out of blue paper. The balloons
sailed maiestically away in the direction
of New Haven. a crimson dog made of
wool in the image of Dan" Yale's
mascot, was also borne aloft on the Har-
vard side.
When Gov. Mckinley and wife ap-
peared, accompanied by Lieut.. Gov.
Halle, of Massachusetts, and took their
seats on the Harvard side, the en-
thuSiasm Of the crimson crowd was un-
bounded. But Gov. Russell, of Massa-
chusetts, was permitted to take his seat
without welcoming cheer. Gov. Nor
riS, of Connecticut, who naturally sat
under Yale banner, was also warmly
welcomed. The betting was unusually
light. no odds being asked or given just
before the game began.
The Yale men confessed their doubts
about little Adee, who was to play at
quarterback. 1T was evident that the
Harvard men were the more confident
An old-time Yale yell announced the
appearance of the blue gladiators in the
arena at 2:05.
CRIMSON CHEERS
went uD a moment later when the Har-
ward eleven appeared, their legs encased
in glistening doeskin breeches. The
wind which swept down the Connecticut
valley from the north was now blowing
miniature gale.
Y ale won the toss, and chose the
wind. giving Harvard the ball. 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: but they fell
after that, for Harvard was never again
in ii. The first half ended without
score being made, but the Harvard men
had exhausted themselves, and when
play was resumed in the second half
the boys in blue adopted the offensive
game. Only twice during the entire
game was the ball pushed into YaIe's
territory, and Harvard played practical
ly on the defensive from start to finish.
The Harvard yells grew fainter after
Butterworth made his touchdown, and
when Capt. Waters was injured and
obliged to retire from the field, Har-
wards cup Of sorrow was filled, and
many wearers of the crimson left the
stands so that they should not see the
finish. The game was less interesting
than the struggle of last year for the
spectators. 1t was also rougher, eight
men being injured, although only one,
Capt. Waters, of Harvard, was incapaei-
tated for service.
YALE WON THE TOSS
and chose the north goal, with the
heavy wind att their backs and greatly
favoring their play, particularly in their
punting. Harvard took the ball and
opened with an entirely new play. Last
year she used flying wedge, formed
by two groups joining together and
when under way putting the ball in
play. This year all the eleven but snap
back got straight behind him, and then
all forged ahead together, Brewer
carrying the ball for thirty-fve yards.
| Then Brewer and Mackie were forced
through the center successively until
Yale's fifteen-yard line was reached.
| Brewer went through for five more
yards. Wrighton gained yard,
| Brewer three more, and then Har-
ward lost the ball on a tumble.
Butterworth punted for twenty yards
and Brewer got the ball for Harvard.
With the ball on Yale's forty yard line,
Harvard sent Wrighton through the
center for twenty yards. Then they
tried the wedge and sent Waters
through for three yards, but he lost the
ball. On four downs Yale failed to
make the five yards and lost the ball.
Wrightington was put through Yale's
center for yard, but lest the ball.
Again Yale faiied OH four downs to gain

recovered it. With the third down and
