Umpire Alexander Moffatt, in company
with Referee Boyiard sought the

Of the north stand, wherein sal
Yale's two score of battle SCARED
bcef-caters just before the game
and said Boys, | want to see Il game
the same as that of last year, free from
holding, off side play and piling up on the
runners. And the first man who disrc-

miss from the field, even though he be
Hinkey himself.
This was repeated to the Harvard men,
and he subsequently showed that he
meant what he said, and did not intend
having his arduolls work as member of
the revisory rules committee go for naught
The only ground rule agreed upon by
the captains was that IA ball kicked back
of the press roye went to the side not kick

together about the field before the timber

appeared almost simultaneously. Then

the teams pulled off their sweaters sur
prise is expressed when Capt. Emmons
helped young Freshman Cabot off with his
sweater, and bctakes himself to the side
lines with a very perceptiblC limp.
"Charley' Brewer comforts Harvard,
however by appearing in his accustomed
position Harvard chooses the south goal,
taking the advantage of the very light
wind; this was, as was Il few minutes af-
forwards shown, an unwisc choice, for

away down to Arthur Brewer on Har

some 20 yards till he meets the brothers

Quick as weeks of drilling can make it.

Phil Stillman yanks Frank Shaw aside,
blocks the kick, and falls on the ball for
"a touchdown, after 81 seconds of play.
Hickok kicks il goal, Hinkoy placing the
ball Waters took an unrcasonably long
time to place the ball ON the kickoff, cvi-

team, and it was shown in the lincu af-

ball. that this touchdown of Yale had
simply reused them. Wrightington, the
pluckicst, best tackling half Harvard has,
is the first man to carry the ball for his
alma mater, gaining five yards over
Beard.
Then Brewer and Cabot ran for short

in the interference. but resumes. Yale
gets the ball on four downs. Buttcrworth
drops back for kick. He stands i'll a
dubtative pose a moment, then ducking
the oval under his arm he lodges Waters
and circles Cabot 5 end for 80 yards, where
he was heavily thrown by Wrightington.
But the applause of this play was hushed
by Mr.. Moffatt calling the ball back and
giving it to Harvard for Iale's holding III
the centre. Yale soon secures the ball and
sends Buttcrworth first at Arthur Brewer
end and then in "A tackle wedge without
perceptblc gain.
Beard had better luck. netting four yards
over Harvard's "snappy" left tackle.
Light haired Cabot, at this stage, is doing
yeoman service in killing end plays in his
direction. Harvard gains the ball by
Mackie falling on it in the crowd. The
swarthy Wrightngton gets between the
older Hinkcy and Beard for a substantial
gain of eight yards AT this period Wrenn
is running the team with more judgment,
and shows plainly that the Crimson is
strong where they have been weak since
Dudley Deans time.
Brewer dashes bravcly at Louis Hin

the crowd. when Jerrcms makes a clever
dive and lands him. Harvard just here

game. Deland's flying interference Of last
