the lowest depths of despair was Harvard'e
sad fate at Hampden Park to-day Perhaps
never before have her followers been so con-
fdent of defeating Yale on the football field
as they were to-day, but the sun went down on
a glorious Yale victory The score was repeti'

and humiliating. Harvard men left Springfield
tonight utterly broken hearted.
The game itself was in some respects most

In defensive work both elevens showed up to
good advantage. Battle was waged on almost
even terms during the first half. although the

The human form, especially when properly
trained however. has remarkable powers OF

to his leg This member had caused him much
trouble before. and had. indeed. prevented his
doing much practice recently Several othef
men were bruised or suffered shocks. but kept
on to the end Of the play.
