The times., 1897-11-14

t. the fact that the bulk of the play IN The
fust half had been in Harvard's teIritorJ
AMI that the crimson goal line had been
threatened much more than Yale's. inS
" hat ever yhody wanted was 4 score, and
when the teams came back frou their
quarters the interest was at white heat
Harvard kicked off, and as De Saulles
misjudged tile falling ball, Doucette was
able To set the Harvard crowd on fire By
dfopping the ball on Yale's 40-yard line.
Here was the chance the crinIsons bad been
praying for BY series of desperate
rushes they carried the ball to Yale s
& yard line amid the most intens. ex-
citement
1t was the chanceof a lifetime in theeyes
OF all ror In twenty two years, Harvard
had won but Two games from Yale, once In
1875 and again IN 1890. And here was the
opportunity to win again. Big BGuve smash
ca his mighty frame into Yales center for
q yard. He tried it gain nd was bnffeted
about with no gain. Then Parker sudden
ly turned Yale's right end, and when Cham
berlain nailed him be was only eight yards
from the goal line. Cabot was next liter
ally wedged il. between Rodgers and Chad
wick until he was six yards from the line,
/ =
feet from victory, so dear to all collegians,
tie Harvard boys stood ready TO fight for
theig lives. Then Cabot got the tall and
started for the left end OF Yale's line, but
De Saulles dragged him down under pile
of struggling players. When they had
| pulled every body off it was seen that Har-
ward had lost a couple of yards, but that
there was still plenty of hope. However,
when Parker attempted to plunge through
| thellne he washurled back by Chamberlain
for the loss of another yard.
The ball was ON Yal's e-yardline, Gar
riSon was unable TO gain a foot. and thl
| ball went to Yale on four downs. IT was
| Yale's turn to yell now, and Harvard wa'
in mourning. Yale had played a ma gnifi
| cent defensive game, and Harvard ha'
! lost the best chance in the game TO win
| Mcbride gotin q long low punt to Harvard !
| 25-yard line, and 5he Yale goal was out
| OF danger. From now on the Yale player
| PLAYED with increased courage and aggres
| sivenese, while the Harvard line appeared
70 have grown weaker. The most hril
| liant feature of the game occurred In .thi
| hall, when De Saulles caught punt b.
Hougl,ton, on ale s25-yard-line. The team
were both at this time broken up consider
| ably, and De Saulles started up the fielC
| at g great pace. He lodged Cabot ant
| Moulton, sent Garrison sprawling, startet
| past Wheeler, and then dashed along tn
side line until he got to the middle o
| the field, where he was forced out 0
bounds by Dibhlee. He had travelled forty
| yards and the Yale rooters cheered hin
| GGain and again. 1t was the best move o
| the game, and De Saulles' name was ii
| thousands of throats. There were No NOR
remarkable plays until time was called
