to HarvardS 10-yard line, where DAILY
caught and returned it to Yale's 45-yard
line, and the game began.
Yale at once showed the strength of
her kicking department, for Mcbride on
the first down sent a grand punt to
Harvard's 25-yard line. Daily, who
caught 1t, carried it back 10 yards to
Harvard's 40-yard line. On Harvard
first down, Sawin circled Yale's left end
for one of the finest runs of the game
taking the ball to Yale's 50-yard line.
Three rushes netted Harvard eight
yards, out Yale was given the ball on
off-side play.
McBRIDE'S FINE PUNTS.
Again Mcbride kicked on the first
down, and Daily caught the ball on the
run, going out of bounds as he did so.
AS the little quarterback started back
into the field, Yale man ran square
into him and threw him heavily on the
/ cinder path. All hands who saw it, both
Yale and Harvard supporters, Kissed
| loudly.
Hallowell kicked on the first down to
Harvard's 40--yard line, and then Yale
tried some rushing. Sharpe made the
| steadiest gains, but Harvard managed
to hold, and received the ball on downs.
i Kicks were exchanged, but Harvard

kisks was blocked. One punt, however,

wind, crossed Harvard's goal line. Hal

Again the kicking game supplanted

were feeter than Yale's, so that Daily
and Sawin rushed the ball back, while

tried kicks and both lost ground by

| ends.
A TRIUMPHANT CAREER,
At last, Harvard got the ball on her
| own 45yard line and began what for
| ten minutes seemed to be a triumphant
Kendall carried the ball around Yale's
left end for 20 yards, and DAILY repeat
| ed it Immediately after for 10 yards
more. Then Kendall plunged through
Yale's centre for s yards, and the Har-
ward stands famed with crimson flags.
! The whirlwind with short rushes by the
| backs at last landed the ball on Yales
| 10yard line, within striking distance of
the goal. From here to within a couple
of yards of the goal line, Ellis did
nearly all the rushing, plunging
through the Yale line for short, sharp
gains, assisted by the whole team. The
severe work, however, Slapped his
strength and when at last he tried for
touchdown by superhuman efforts,
his tired muscles could not respond.
At Yales 6-yard line Ellis and Ken
dali and again Ellis were hurled at the
Yale centre, and while two rushes net
ted two yards, the third did not gain
an inch, and the ball went to Yale on
her 2-yard line, and for while her goal
was safe. Three minutes after how
ever it was again threatened, but in
another way. On the first down under
the goal posts, Mcbride kicked out and
DAILY caught the ball at Yale's 35-yard
line, where he was thrown so heavily
that Harvard was given ten yards,
which brought the ball to Yale's rs
yard line.
TRY AT A GOAL.
Here Burnett tried one of his famous
goals from the field, but after pausing
over the attempt for over three min
utes, he shot the ball just to the left
of the goal post, and again Yale had
escaped what would have been defeat.
Numerous kicks consumed most or the
time for the balance of the first half,
although Yale tried the metal of Har-
wards centre and found it very nearly
steel.
Time was called just after Sawin had
made a pretty run of 20 yards from a
kick, and carried the tAll to the centre
Of the field The first half was GER
tainly a surprise to Harvard, and a
source of qualification to Yale.
THE SECOND HALF.
The second half started at 3O5, Yale
extremely confident and Harvard hope
full. but not dismayed. Almost imme-
diately Yale began showing her ag-
gressiye tactics while Harvard seemed
unable to gain either by rushing or
kicking. The ball was soon in Har-
wards territory, where Sawin made q
bad ruff on the 3o-yard line. although
Daily saved the ball by falling on it.
