Rain and Mud.
Yesterday, day characterized by
nastiness almost incapable of descrip-
tion, Yale and Harvard met on the grid
iron, if duck pond can be called by
that name and Harvard gave Yale II
to 0 ducking.
It was not a game abounding in sen-
sational or pretty plays, for that was i'm
possible, but one where good straight
forward foot ball predominated. Harvard
won because she had everything in her
favor. First, the weather, and secondly,
because her line was the strongest and
her backs were head and heels above
those Of Yale.
The lads from "Old Eli'' fought like
demons, but they were unable to stop
the onslaught of Harvard's backs, while
on the other hand it was almost impos-
sible for Yale to gain an inch by these
means. Therefore, when Yale had the
ball she Immediately kicked where it
would be returned and several times &C.
cured gain by Harvard on Yale's
fumbles.
The contest had not continued long
before it was readily seen that Yale was
out -classed and it was only question OF
how many points Harvard would score.
The following is how and who scored
the points.

ing off to Reid who returned the kick
to the middle of the field. Yale failed

ball across Yale's goal line. The ball
was brought out to twenty-five yard line.
Townsend again kicked and DAILY ran
the ball back to Yale's forty-five yard
line.

brought the ball to Yale's thirty.yard
line. Dibbee gains five and then ten
yards through the line and Reid's five
yards brings the ball to Yale's ten-yard
line. On centre play Harvard takes

returns the ball to centre of field. Yale
was forced to kick and Dibblee ran the.
ball back ten yards. Harvard kicks and

gains. Townshend follows with another
gain and for the first time Yale gained
her distance Harvard held well and

tire of the field. Haughton punted and

yard line. Chamberlain kicked, but ball
was brought back for off-side play. Har-
ward got the ball on downs on Yale's
twenty-yard line. Dibblee and Warren
