team defeated Harvard's Representa-
tives by score OF to 0, while $4,000
persons looked on. The blue floats tri'
unphandy above the crimson now,
and this quiet old town is in the hands
OF the eonquerors. The streets resound
With the shouts of the victorious, aud
Yle'S cup of happiness is filed to the
brim.
In many former years Tale's victory
was unquesLioned, but this season Har-
ward wSa a iayorite in the betting, and
the overthrow Of what was considered
the strongest team she had placed upon
the field in years meant great deal for
Yale and those who swear by the
plucky lads who are never beaten until
the last ahrill note OF the umpirs's
whistle is heard. Yale won the days
game by fast and open play in the sec,
ond half, neither team being able to
score in the frat three.quarters OF an
hour.
While they had ionnd Harvard,s
centre well nigh inpregnable in the
first half, holes began to appear in the
second, and through those BUttesWorth,
Armstrong and Thorne dived and
wriggled, making gains that carried
them nearer to the goal. Yale was
much stronger than the general public
expected at every point, every man on
the team played good foot ball, sacFt-
hcing personal play TO team work. But
terWorth was the bright particular star.
He was here, there and everywhere, al

made the touchdown from which
HickoE kicked the goal.
Credit must DO given to Thorne Tor
his remarkable exhibition OF pluck.
Early in the first half, while trying 10
oncirele Haryard's lett end he was
tackled hercely, ground undertoot and
hidden for minute beneath heap OF
struggling players. Oneby onethey arose
until he alone remained ciutchins the
ball, writing upon the ground. His
nose was broken and blood gushed from
mouth and nostrils, dyeing the front OF
his jacket bright crimson. Every
body expected him to be carried away,
but after five minutes nursing, with
his head pillowed upon the leg Of the
giant Hickok, he donped nose mask,
and vas soon driving through openings
with all the force oil the Yale team be-
hind him and the ball.
This exhibition Of sand, that quality
so dear to the supporters OF Yale,
aroused the widest enthusiasm, and
thousands OF voices beloved "Thorne,
Thorne," until every fibre in the boys
body must have thrilled with pleasure.
Then, too, this boy made the only big
run Of the game, pretty dart for 10
yards around Harvard's left end, and, il
he never docs another thing, his name
will not be forgotten at Yale.
Long before the nour set for play to
begin, . o'clock, not a seat but had an
occupant, and the stragglers were COM
PEELED to stand or sit in the narrow en-
closure between the stands and that
portion Of tho field fenced of Tor the
newspaper men. While waiting for the
game to get under way, college songs,
eulogistic OF the prowess Of the great
rivals, were sung and the cheers which
were to put renewed hope into the
breasts of the players were rehearsed.
The sturdy shouts Of Harvard were
flung back across the field with re-
doubled vigor by the lusty-lunged wear
ers Of the blue, and the very air became
vibrant with song. The cheering was
at its height when Governors Russell,
of Massachusetts,; Mckinley, OF Ohio,
and Morris, OF Connecticut, appeared.
They were warmly received as they
passed down the line.
Yale won the toss, and Hinkey de-
cided to take advantage OF the strong
breeze that was blowing from the north
west. He lined his men up defending
the northern goal, and Harvard took
the ball and gained twenty-five yards
by the wedge play.
The next play was one from the fer
tile brain OF Lorin L. Delaud. Four
Harvard men, Emmons, Newell, Waters
and Brewer, lined up fifteen yards
diaIonaiiy to the left and rear of Beaie,
and before the ball was snapped back
they dashed pellmell into the right wing
of Yale's line. Down went Beard and

the gigantic Mackie, slid around through
the opening for five yards.

three yards and again it yielded Newell

Yale's forty.hve yard line. Yale next
loat the ball on downs and Delan6's big
four play was resorted to again twice,
but without gains. .
HARVARD LOSES a CHANCE SURE.
Play continued to be pretty even, al.
though HRrvard's goal line was more
frequently in danger than Yales. 1t
was toward the end Of the half that the
wearers OF the crimson missed their
only chance OF scoring. Slowly hut
surely Harvard worked the ball toward
Yale's line while the excitement grew.

The "Big Four" bowled Beard and
Hickok over Mackie pushed by Waters
and made five.
Brewer ripped open Hickok's block

i've yards for Yale's holding in the line.
There was nine minutes more in which
to finish the first three-Quarters, aud
the Harvard men we're beginning to
plny fast, something they had not done
before. With the ball on Yale's twenty
