Yale did not punt on this play, instead
of attempting to buck the line, where

means certain. Harvard now has the
ball we'll in Yale territory in the Vi
cinity of her 30-yard line, and instead
of kicking, begins a series OF rushes,
that net from three to six yard gains
After the first of these rushes, Town

slight. One play more, scrimmage, and
a Harvard player pulled himself out Of
the pile and collapsed. The collapse was
only temporary. A little water brought
back his strength and the game re-

yards of Yale territory and the second
touchdown has been scored. This time

No more scoring came in the second
half. The playing time remaining was
short and Yale's goal was never seri-
ously threatened. Just before the close,
Harvard tried a place kick for goal
from the field. AT that stage of the
game there was everything to win and
nothing to lost by such play. The ball
went very wide of the goal posts The
feature of the play between the second
touchdown and the end of the first half
was a brilliant run by Capt. Dibblee
around Yale's left end. 1t was d run
that netted 40 yards or so but did not
inquire In the score getting.
The half was over shortly after and
then came the usual intermission dur
ing which time Yale men figured how
they could win the game. while Har-
ward enthusiasts tried to see if defeat
was possible, not probable. Harvard
opened the second and closing act in
this mighty spectacular production by
kicking off.
Yale kicked back and Harvard-uot
Yale as in the first half-had the ball
in the centre. Harvard now began
playing a thoroughly offensive game.

10 yards, but lost on an unfortunate
tumble. Yale now succeeded in gaining

they all counted. Added to this legit-
innate ground gained, Yale received a
present of five yards due to careless
ness in the line on the part of a Har-
ward man.
