NEW HAVEN. CONN. November 10
Harvard defeated Yale this afternoon. II
to o. winning a glorious football victory.
I'm a clean, fast game. abunding I'm bril-
liant plays. The Harvard eleven showed
themselves masters Of the game, excell-
ing I'm every department and playing
football that was well-nlgh marvellous.
under such miserable weather conditions.
Every point was made by straightfor-
ward open tactics, and no fake 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 coniition
won the game for her, easily. The Yale
players fought with stoid pluck In
the end they rallied grandly, out of sheer
desperation. and finished strong.
GRIDIRON SUBMERGED.
A bleaker or more uninviting spot was
not to be found i'm New Haven at noon
to-day than the Yale field. The van
guard of the vast throng which went to
the field began to arrive shortly after the
noon hour, after a long tramp through
mud and water, and found the gridiron
submerged and the carefully prepared
approaches to the grandstand a quag-
mire. The rain, which had fallen for
two and a half days, was still pouring
down. and q northeast wind continued to
send the storm along with great violence.
Eighteen thousand people witnessed the
game. Oilskins. mackintoshes. rubber
boots. tablecloths, carriage boots, south
westers, every kind of waterproof pro-
lection was pressed into service.
CRIMSONS IN FINE FETTIE.
The victorious eleven was in splendid
physical condition, to a man, and set a
stiff pace for their less spirited opponents.
In the second half Jafiray gave way TO
Burnett. and Farley replaced Cochrane,
though the men were not injured, and
could have continued playing had it not
been deemed best to put in fresher men.
The condition Of the Yale players, with
the exception OF Mcbride, Hubbell, and
Dudley, was first-class, the team playing
strongly in the face of defeat to the very
last moment of play. In the first half
Mcbride went i'm in place Of Townsend.
and in the second half Allen took Still
mans place at left tackle, while SWeepe
went to r1gnt-eHu, lAuuN uIpppluE bdSh
to fill the place Of Dudley, who retired.
HARVARD'S CELEBRATION.
After the game the Harvard band
marched about the gridron, followed by
hundreds of Harvard men. At the con-
cluslon of the triumphal march, the band
was surrounded by several thousand grad
yates and undergraduates. with their
friends all uncovered. and with all the
enthusiasm to be expected from victory
over Yale for the second time only since
1875. the throng burst forth into the re-
frain of Fair Harvard" Hats and ban
ners were thrown to the winds. and the
celebration of the victory was con-
tinued until the last Of them had left
Yale and New Haven behind

Hall. left half-back. who had scarcely
got into the playing, taking Blagdon's
place.
The field was a duck-pond, and the play
ing was characterized throughout by
much punting and fumbling on both sides.
