The big game IL over and long before
this the public Is familiar with the way in
which 1t was won. All know of Butter
worth's great work, "Brink" Thorne's long
run and the magnificent and defensive
play of the Yale team. The Harvard team
was acknowledged by the ooaohers and by |
every supporter to be the very best one
that Harvard has ever sent out, and to |
think that they came only to be downed
once more is, to their enthusiasts, almost
unbearable. Saturday was great day In
more ways than one. 1t not only brought |
forth the greatest crowd and the greatest
game in the history of Springfield, but 1t
witnessed the fall of Dslandism.
He was the man who invented the flying
wedge last year which has proven so eff
fsctive everywhere this year, and OF whom
great things were expected Saturday. His
DAYS are over. His plays are all right on
paper, but you can't play checkers on the
gridiron field. 1t Is true that he had one
good new trick which worked for q time,
but that finally was broken up when the
old Yale sand began to show itself. New
tricks are all right, but they did not win
Saturday. 1t was the straight out and out
football with the only Yale spirit that got
there. To Hinkey, the silent, unbounded
praise is due. Yale never had better
captain and certainly no general ever
handled his soldiers more sktlfully than
this wonderful end rusher did Saturday.
Not once did Harvard man get around
| his end. His tackling was as feres and
reckless as ever and those who think this
wonderful player IL too rough should re-
| member that 1t Is not game of lawn
tennis or one that ladies can play. Butter
worth's work outshone everything else in
/ brillisncy. He ia the greatest line breaker
| that Yale ever had and his puntiDg was re-
markable. Thorne too did some hard
| smashing against that red line and his
| plucky work called forth united yell from
| the Yale cheerers in the second half. 1t
| was here that he got q crack In the nose
| which must have made him think that
tornado had picked up freight car from
the nearby railroad tracks and land-d it
against his bugle. 1t was fearful blow
but after short rest he went on. "Bron-
cho" Armstrong made himself felt in every
play, but he seemed to bs unfortunate in
generally running into a Harvard man
when he had the ball. Adee did not do
| any better than 1t was expected he would
TO be sure, he WAS plucky and his tackling
was of a high order, but his passing could
have been improved upon. Some of his
passes we're responsible for Butterworth's
poor punts, and in this respect Morris
would have lowered way over him, In q
word, Adae's work WAS good, but he did
nothing better than Morris could have
done, and there were many plays in which
little "Chub" would easily have excellsd
| him. Back of the line Yale outclasseo
Harvard in every style of play and at any
| part of the game. 1t was expected that
Lewis would fool Stillman, but he didn't.
He was much quicker than the big Yale
center, but he had to be. he succeeded in
bothering Adee, but he never opened up q
hole. In this respect neither Msckie OIL
, Acton did any better. AcCrea did moi
