nual record of these encounters, with
the trite statement that yale again

This. to be sure, 10 not literally the
fact, because Harvard has since 1876,
when the record began. wrenched two
victories from the New Haven men.
And though again defeated today ejacu-
lationo of hopeless disgust over Harvard's
performances are not altogether fair.
Harvard, although defeated today,
played good football against fates that
might we'll nigh bs seen in the air. A
Yale partisan, hosrse with yelling for
the Blues, this evening praised the feel
ing which widely prevailed among the
spectators.

had the better team, Harvard played

which promised to be insufferable to
those who should fight in the gridiron
battle.
THOUSANDS OF SPECTATORS.
The % men came over the fence at the
far north corners, and thousand peo-
pie and more to each man shouted and
screamed at the sight of them. The
seating capacity of the stands of Hamp-
den park is 23,04S persons. Estimates
OF the number OF persons who saw the
game range at from 25, 900 to 40 900.
MANY PLAYERS INJURED.
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 the
players. Wrightington's collar bone
was broken; Hailowell was carried off
the field disabled; Murphy lay bleeding
and insensible Ola the ground, the re.
suit of hard punch in the stomach;
Brewer was hurt in the first half, but
was able to resume play, though subs
sequently retired by the physician'a
rumors of serious consequences, the
most notable one being that Hinckey OF
Yale had died of his injuries. This
seemed improbable, because Hinckey
was very much in evidence at the close
OF the game.
EXCELLENT FOOTBALL WEATHER.
The rays of glorious autumn sun,
cleaning through November mists,
lightened the hearts OF the football
men this morning when they first
opened their eyes and surprised even
the skeptios who saw in last nights
leaden skies and drzzling rain most
displeasing outlook for football. By 8
O'Clock the heavy mist had risen far
enough to allow the blue sky to peep
forth, 80 that halt an hour later Yale's
colors flleu the heavens from horizon to
horizon. But the Yale blue was
Haunted above the housetops, and the
rays of the sun touched up the crimson
tnged trees of the CITY and at Hampden
park. and sent reflection back to the
exultant blue. The moist streets and
fields soon dried up. The chill of early
morning was succeeded by warmth
like that of an ordinary September day.

admirers was rivaled by the delicate
violet on the breasts of the Yale men,
and on the corsages OF Yale women.
