again tied and there the most horrible racket
Imaginable Every Harvard man In the grand
stand was trying to Guido the others.
The sixth inning found the Harvards with their
hating streak in running order. and bii or luck
something Harvard does not usually enjoy-~ent

good lead Of three runs. Up 10 this time the Ae
men had been playing with all the snap ana PUCK
that ANYBODY could ask for. They were constantly
on the go and the coaches kept up a constant Jab-
herring For a couple OF innings Yale lost her
and the fielding and batting became car an, ana
often thoughtlcss. At the last inning they ralNed
and sarted out with a win-or- die eftort That gave
many Harvard men a scare. and which might nave

Hayes kept his head. and by taking his time abeut
