the second half, but was less steady when
the referees whistle blew for play to begin.

Haughton, who returned it with a net gain
of fifteen yards, and Desaulles muffed.

bringing the ball to Yale's thirty-yard line,
where quarterback kick gave it to De-
saulles. Mcbride punted into Dibbee's
arms and the latter advanced the ball ten
yards to the center of the field. Harvard
made fruitless try at center. but HaZen
got the runner. Haughton then kicked high
and Mcbride got the ball on Yale's fifteen
yard line. Moulton tackled him hard and
was laid 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. Nor
ton Shaw took his place at right guard.
Chadwick'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 Harvards
on the enemys fifteen-yard line. Every
thing looked to a speedy touchdown Bouve,
Parker and Cabot chopped off ten yards of
the remaining distance, and with first down
on Yale seven-yard line Harvard thought
she was already tasting the joys of the vic
