SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Nov. 24-After
each Harvard-Yale foot ball game for
years now the writers II news history
have been obliged 10 open the annual rec
ord Of these encounters with the trite
statement onat yale again defeats Har-
ward" This. to be sure. is not literally
the fact. because Harvard has. since 1879.
when the record began, wrenched two
victories from the New Haven men.
And yet, though again defeated today.
CALCULATIONS Of hopeless disgust over Har-
wards performances are not altogether
fair.
Harvard, though beaten today, played
good foot ball against fates that might
well nigh be seen in the air. \ Yale par

sician's order
Tonight there have been rumors of
serious consequences. the most notable
one being that Hinckey of Ya.e had died
of injuries. This seemed improbable be-
cause Hinckey was very much in evil
sence at the lose OF the game.
