The record-union., 1898-11-20

game, excelling in every department
and playing football well nigh marvel
GUS under such miserable weather con-
ditions. Every point was made by
Straightforward, open tactics and no
fiuke or luck contributed in any way
to the scoring.
Harvard's great speed of play, power
and concentration Of attack, superior
kicking and splendid physical condition
won the game for her easily. The Yale
players fought with stolid pluck. At
the end they rallied grandly out of
sheer desperation, and finished strong.
A bleaker and more uninviting spot
was not to be found in New Haven at
noon to-day than the Yale field. The
of the vast throng which
went to the field began to arrive short
ly after the noon hour, after a long
tramp through mud and water, and
found the gridiron submerged and the
approaches to the grand stand a quag-
mire.
Yale won the toss, taking the ball
and rushing toward the northern goal
AT 2:23 O'Clock Burr Chamberlain kick
ed off far down the field to the ten
yard line, DAILY returning the kick pref
tily, and Yale lined up with the ball
in her possession on her own f1fty-yard
line.
Haughton booted the leather down
the gridiron across the goal line for
touch back.
The ball being brought back, Cham
berlain kicked off from the twenty-five
yard line. Reid making a pretty catch,
dashing over the white lines for twen-
ty yards before little Ely nailed him.
1t was now, with the ball on Yale's
forty-five yard line,y that Harvard be-
gan her relentless hammering at Yale's
line, which resulted in a we'll earned
touchdown. The crimson had scored
the first point at just 2:35 o'clock,
twelve minutes after the kick off.
Cochranes kick for goal struck the
cross bar and the ball bounded back
into the arena, making the score 5 to o
in Harvards favor.
Chamberlain kicked off again, and
DAILY punted back to Ely on the play.
The Harvard line was strong, deter
mined and aggressive. 1t was impos-
sible for Yale, try as she would, to
gain, and she was forced to kick.
Haughton returned the punt, and Ely
made brilliant sensational run of
thirty yards by catching it and rush
ing down the side lines, shaking off
tackler after tackler But when the
backs went up against the crimson line
it was like striking a brick wall. Yale
was always forced to kick. and Har-
ward kicked at every opportunity, gain
ing many yards and keeping the play
continually in Yale's territory.
The ball went over to Yale for the
second time at Pol o'clock, just twen-
ty-eight minutes after the start.
Haughton shot the oval fair and true
over the crossbars, and Harvard led,
IL to O.
The remaining few minutes of play
was marked by no remarkable feature,
and the half closed at 3:O5 D. M, with
the ball in Yale's possession on her own
fifty-yard line, and the score Harvard
IL, Yale O..
In the second half Mcbride returned
Haughton's kick off, DAILY receiving the
punt and making brilliant run of thir-
ty yards before he was downed by Ely.
Harvard again began her persistent
plunging attacks between YaIe's tack
les, but lost the ball to Yale on downs.
after gaining twelve yards.
Yale was again forced to kick. and
Harvard, after several futile attempts
to make headway, did the same. The
ball went back and forth several times
without material result, Dibblee finally
gathering in McBride's bounding kick
and giving Harvard the ball on Yale's
forty-yard line. Haughton at once
once shot high long punt down the
field, which Dudley missed, a red Jacket
fell on the ball, and 1t was Harvard
first down in twenty yards, and Dib-
blee added two more on the other side.
Then Warren, with a mighty dive,
broke through the left guard, cleared
the scrimmage pile, and brought the
ball to the two-yard line, where Reid
was pushed over for touchdown.
Haughton kicked the goal, making the
score IL to 0, as it remained.
There was scarcely ten minutes more
play, but in that time Yale's team rail-
lied with splendid courage and grit,
and made their best offensive effort of
the afternoon. Harvard had the ball
on her own forty-yard line. and it was
given to the Yale for off side play.
Durston banged into the right for a
good six yards, and again for five more.
Dudley struck Harvard S right for three
yards, but could make no headway on
the next attempt.
This brought the ball to Harvard's
twenty-yard line, and Yale enthusiasts
had visions of scoring, when Ely. on
double pass. skirted the light end for
twelve yards, amid the widest enthu-
siasm. Durston was given the ball and
tore up against the crimson trocha
again, but with no. success. Chamber
lain then dropped back for a goal from
the field, but his effort proved fruitless,
and time was called before the teams
lined up again. Harvard had beaten
Yale for the second time since 1895.
