A TRICK WON THE GAME.
The team Harvard put on the spring

on the grldITon. The defence OF theif
line, too, was superb Inc ON! Pidce
where strength would nave counted most

the fact mat during the second hdII lhe

time. YaleS first score was Won Dy a
trick. HIckok is the man 10 whose credit

Barring this and the trick OF Hlchok on

the spot to turn every slip TO her adNan-
tage. playing always her best just when
il meant a score, while Harvard, after
gaining the advantage through straight
forward superiority, lost II each TINE by
some aggravatlng slip. Such mistakes

a second great game than real make

course, have some weight to drag her
down. The Pennsylvania team have mad
no hard game since November lUth, Tor
they evidently played off in the Cornell
game. Their men, therefore, are ~ the
pink Of condition physically. 1t must be
remarked right here. though, that the

game. which resulted last year In such an
Overwhelming defeat az the hands OF

ABOUT Nv My MATCHED.
The worst bruised of the Har-
ward men are Wrightington and Brewer.
WTightingtOn's reported broken shoulder
has turned out 10 be a dislOcated joint,
and he will probably bob up sefeuely as
you please on the Philadelphia sod. Brew
er, too, from last reports, IS quite likely
to begin the game, at least. If he should
not be able 10 finish IT, Hayes, with a
record Of touchdown made against Yale
within five minutes play after he en- ter
ed the game. and which included some Of
the most brilliant gains OF the day Will
not let the glory Of the Crimson suffer
so far as running goes. Brewer Is a

Harvard will need all Of the punting

man by man behind the line, the two
teams are about evenly matched. Brooke
