thing at last Her freshmen football team met
the freshmen eleven from Yale this Afternoon
on Soldiers Field, and the boys in crimson
walipped the boys in blue to the tune of 12 10 o.
When the referee blew his whistle at the end OF
the second half Yale had the ball right up I'M
der Harvard's cross bar. but not across the line.
II was a few minutes past 2 O'Clock when the
Harvard youngsters ran on the field and were
greeted by q cheer. The boys In blue stockings
were already falling on the ball on the slippery
Gridiron, so IL was not long before the ball was
placed in the centre Of the field and the rival
freshmen lined up opposite each other.
As Harvard won the toss they chose the south
ern goal and allowed Yale to kick of. Hickok
lifted the ball well down the field TO Redpath,
who started to run It in, but he had not gone far
when the Yale ends brought him down. Gier-
asch was sent at Hickok, but the varsity
guards brother could not be forced. and as some
Of the Harvard rushers held on in the next play
Yale took the ball on Harvard's yard
line. The Harvard centre held finely on the
hrst attempt. but Chauncey succeeded in thrust
ing his yellow head, which was covered by q
formldable-lookidg mask, right through Hosgue
for four yards. Ely, the Yale captain. wanted
70 be too quick on the next play. with the result
that he fumbled and fell on the bail.
The play now was on the twenty-Hve-yard
line. Redpath relieved the goal by q good punt.
Chauncey at once brought the ball back twenty
yards around Bull, but It awaited nothing. for

ward took the ball. Rice dropped back, and
went ploughing for ten yards right through
young McCrea, who is a perfect imitation OF his
elder brother. Mac broke through on the next
two downs, however. and Harvard lost the ball
on downs. There were no holes in the Harvard
centre, so Belts punted the ball to the forty-hve-
yard line. Redpath returned tho kick TO tie
centre Of the field, and then the tall Chauncey
darted through a bog hole outside of Holmes.
It looked as II Chauncey would go a further
distance, but Knox jumped for him and threw
him.
Hsrvard's off-side play advanced the ball to
their thirty-fve-yard line. and Gerard made
his first gain for seven yards around Bull.
Chauncey added two more yards through
Holmes. and Hickok jnmped around for one
little yard gain. On the third down the revolv-
ing wedge was formed, and as 1t swung around
Woodward the ball was shot ahead for Ave
yards. With the ball on the twenty-yard line
Brown got through, but was tackled for no
gain. On the next play Belts dropped the ball
and Woods fell on 1t amid great cheering. but
the Joy did not last long.
Redpsth at once went back for a punt. The
ball was passed well, but the Yale guards and
tackles went through 80 quickly that the Har-
ward backs had to hurry his kick. 1t went low,
struck Murray, and bounded back over the goal
line Just as In the fatal varsity game at Spring.
