ball. Hogan pushed through Barnard for

Andy Marshall was off side on the first

Bowman recovered the ball.
METCALF'S LONG RUN.
On the very first play Yale made feint
toward the right end of the Harvard line
and Harvard started in that direction
to stop it Metcalf squeezed through be-
tween Shea and Barnard. Mills was the
only man between the Yale half back and
touchdown, and, although the Harvard
end made a desperate try for the runner,
Metcalf lodged prettily and placed the ball
behind the Harvard goal line after seven
ty-three-yard run. bowman was success
full again in kicking a goal and Yale now
had an advantage of twelve points.
On the kickoff Metcalf got the ball at
his own ten-yard line and ran ii back five
yards. By a fake kick Hogan made an
other of Yale's long runs. carrying the ball
from the ffteen-yard line to Harvard's
forty-eight-yard line before being brought
TO the ground. The ball was fumbled and
rolled ten yards but a Yale man fell on 1t.
Harvard was given the ball on the next
play for holding Harvard now began to
play desperate game and slowly but sure
ly carried the ball down the field until the
Harvard stand rang with the word Touch
Gown: SO confident did the crimson cheer
ers feel. Holes were made through Goss,
Kinney, Hogan and occasionally Glass.
The ball had reached Yale's eight-yard line
when Harvard fumbled. Sugden recovered
the ball. but 1T awaited him little, for the
Yale line was now like a stone wall and
Harvard had TO surrender the ball on
downs.
A fake kick on the first play resulted in
loss and Bowman then punted to Mar
shall to Yale's thirty-yard line. Plays d.
tumble cost the crimson a possible chance
to score. Bowman kicked to Herman, who
fumbled the ball but recovered 1t. On the
next play Herman kicked to Yale's thirty
yard line. -Four mass formations brought
the ball to Harvard's fifty-yard line, where
the half ended
second half, with Vanderpool playing full
back in place of Bowman. There were no
changes in the Harvard lineup.
THIRD TOUCHDOWN.
Marshall kicked off to Yales twenty-five
yard line and Metcalf ran back fifteen
yards before lac was downed Three plays
with Kinney back and Glass making the
hole netted ten yards. Again Kinney was
brought back for the tackle-back forma-
ton, and with wide hole opened for him
through Barnard by Glass he tore up the
field for thirty yards. Glass and Kinney
continually broke through the line and
Glass helped the runner by dragging him
along until Harvard's thirteen-yard-line
was reached. Then Metcalf was given the
ball, and again Glass made an opening. He
caught Metcaf about the body and dragged
him with two Harvard men who were
hanging on to Metcalfs legs to Harvard's
two-yard-line On the next play Kinney
smashed through knowlton for the third
touchdown Of the day. Metcalf kicked a
pretty goal and sent the score up to is to
in favor of Yale.
When the teams lined up for the kickoff
Hurley relieved Putnam at right half back.
Marshall kicked off to Yale's five-yard-line
and the ball was forced back sixteen yards
by Metcalf Yale's charge at the line did
not gain much ground at this point, and
Vanderpoel kicked. Tandem plays carried
the ball for Harvard to Yale's twenty-five
yard line, when 1darshall dropped back for
an attempt at field goal. The pass was
good and the ball carried well, but it went
three feet to the right OF the goal post.
Nanderpoel kicked the ball down to Mar
shall at Harvard's forty-yard line. Raj
ferty caught the runner in midfeld. Gray
don was tackled from behind by Goss and
thrown for a loss. Marshall kicked to Met
calf at Yale's fifteen-yard line. After two
attempts at hitting the line Vanderpoel
punted to Herman. Metcalf threw him hard.
Harvard could not gain by tandem plays,
and again kicked, the ball going to Yale's
twenty-five-yard line. Kinney and Goss
were injured and the latter had to leave
the field, Hamlin taking his place. Yale
galloped through the Harvard line for thir-
ty yards in short gains, when Harvard
made last effort and held for downs. The
effort was costly. however.
The Crimson men did not have the steam
TO hit the Yale line effectively and ker-
nan kicked. Metcalf ran back thirteen
yards. Hogan was now called back re-
peatedly and made good gains. Barnard
was played out and Whitwell went in, as
did Clothier, who relieved Bowditch. The
ball was on Harvard's ten-yard line when
Hogan crashed through for a touchdown.
Metcalf failed at goal and the final score
stood at % to o in favor of the Sons of Eli.
Darkness was rapidly falling and the few
minutes Of the play which remained made
1t difficult to watch the ball. The game
