rushed out with blankets and water. In
a few moments he rises slowly with a pro-
nounoed limp.

struck the crossbar and fell back.
Shortly after, Fnirchld tried second

Of failure, the ball being blocked, though
Harvard kept the ball.
Brewer Pals.
Another rush, and Charlie Brewer, Har>
wards great hope, was stretched helpless

his knees, and then fat upon his face.
Three men helped TO carry him of. All
the time he was crying openly, begging
the doctor to let him return. Even after
he WAS wrapped in blanket, he would
not keep quiet, but orawled on his hands
and knees along the side lines as the play
moved up and down the field. He was
the first vieetsf,- Of the herccst game ever
