Springfield, Nov. 26.-Yale defeated
Harvard in the great annual football
contest between the two institutions
by score of j to f. After each Har-
vard-1ale football game for twenty
years, the writer's of news history have
been obliged TO open the annual rec
ORD of these encounters with the rrite
/ statement yale again defeats Har-
ward. Though again defeated the
! calculations of hopeless disgust over
Harvard's performances are not al.
together fair. Harvard. though beaten.
played god football against the fates
that might well-nigh be seen IN the
| air. The estimates of the number of
persons who saw the game range from
| 10000 to 10000. In spite of the new
rules the time consumed this year was
| greater than last, owing, chiefly. to
the examination of numerous injuries
received by players.
! Wrightton's collar-bone was broken:
Hallowell was carried off the field dis
abled, Murphy lay bleeding and in
sensible on the ground the result of
hard punch in the stomach; Brewer
WAS hurt in the first half, but able to
! resume play though was subsequently
retired by physicians order. There
have been some rumors of serious con-
sep erces, the most notable one being
that Hinckey, of Yale, died of in
| juries. This seemed improbable be-
! cause Hinckley was very much in evil
! dence at the close of the game.
Game was called at 2 p. m. Yale
went right in and secured a touch
down and kicked goal in four minutes;
score, Yale g. Harvard 0.
Harvard got the ball on four downs
and attempted to kick goal from the
field, but missed, A little latei they
repeated the performance, missing
again, but shortly afterwards succeed
ed in making a touchdown. Score,
Yale 6, Harvard 4. Yale then scored
touchdown and kicked goal Score,
Yale II, Harvard 4.
The second hal began with Harvard
holding the ball which was soon in
hot action. Murphy was hurt again
and Chadwick took his place. The
play resumed and it was nip and tuck
back and forth across the field, Har-
wards interference being magnificent.
ButterwOrth was relieved, with in
juries to head and eye. Armstrong, of
Yale was ruled off the field for slug
ging, and Hayes, of Harvard, was
ruled off for the same offense Then
Hallowell was injured and Wheeler
was substituted. From this point to
the call of time. both sides struggled
furiously, but neither succeeded in
making either a goal or touchdown
and the scores at the end of the first
half, II to in Yale's favor, remained
the final score. The closing play was
unique. Harvard got the ball and
kicked a goal from the field, but al
most while the ball was in mid-air
and before it crossed the bar, the
whistle blew which sounded the end of
the game. The official scoring board
announced "No goal" Harvard pro-
tested but the goal was not allowed
