patched him up, however. and he went
into the game again. Harvard's defense
weakened badly and Benjamin and
Rodgers hammered their way to the If
teen yard line. There was dread suspense
IN the Harvard camp as touchdown
seemed sure thing, but Swain fell onto
the ball. Haryard's inability to bunch
her backs hard on Yales line resulted IN

right end, but it was not enough and
Haughton kicked twenty-five yards
against the breeze. Yale muffed the ball
but got it again and kicked it back to
Haughton on the Crimson's twenty yard
line. Haughton caught the ball prettlly
on the run but Hazen was on him. DID

De Saulles' hands, but Cabot nailed him
before he could move. Then McBrlde
punted over the goal line and the bali
was Harvard S on the twenty five yard
line De Saulles got it after Haughton' s
punt to Yale's forty yard line and made
pretty run of fifteen yards around the
right end on double pass. Garrison
stopped his progress on Harvard = twenty
five yard line. Again Yale fumbled and
again she kept the ball.
| Garrison and Hall apparently had
rough encounter in this play. for they
shook hands cordially on getting up, to

scrimmage and proved to be dislocated.
Parker took his place at right half.
Moulton got the ball for Harvard on a
tumble. Parker was thrown down for
loss but Dibblee Melted nine yards in two

try at cenIer, but Hazen got the runner.
Haughton then kicked high and Mcbride
got the ball on Yale's fifteen yard line;

out for two or three minutes but he was
strong enough to nail Corwin for a loss
on the next play. Mcbride punted out
Of bounds at Yale's thirty-two yard line.
Cabot made two yards around right end
but Doucette got in the way OF the next
play and Haskell was forced to retire.
| Norton Shaw took his place at right
guard. Chadwiek's illegal interference
with the snap back gave Harvard five
yards. Parker and Haughton pushed
through the guards for good gains and
the ball was Harvard's on the enemy's
fifteen yard line. Everything looked to a
speedy touchdown. Bouve, Parker and
Cabot chopped eff ten yards of the re-
naming distance and with first down
ON Yale's seven yard line Harvard
thought she was already tasting the joys
of victory. But the Ellis summoned all
their traditional sand" combining 1T
with excellent defensive play, and got the
ball on downs One successful attack at
Harvards line followed and then Nc
Bride kicked. 1t was short punt but
the day was saved for Yale. Harvard
could do nothing with the ball and for
feited it on downs. 1t was YaIe's ball
on her twenty yard line and after an I'M

| field for some time till, on punt by
Heughton to Yales fifteen yard line, De
Saulles made the best run of the day,
getting thirty yards through Harvard's
tackles. Donald was injured in one of
the following plays, and Mills took his
place. He distinguished himself at once
by a fine tackle of Mcbride who caught
Haughton's punt on Yale's forty-fiye yard
line.
Neither goal was in danger in the last
few minutes the nearest approach to it
being just before the end when Parker
| blocked McBride's punt and sent the ball
bouncing back toward Yale's goal. No
other Harvard player was near enough to
get the tall and Parker tripped. Cabot
was hurt on the next play, and on the
following scrimmage time was called
with the ball on Yale's thirty yard line.
