 Harvard's unexpected ability to solve and stop Yale's tackle was the feature of the contest. Except for one dash of forty yards by Roome, in the first half and one of 19 and one of Is yards by Morse in the second half. the Yale gains were short and nearly all made py piunges into the line. The Harvard gains also resulted from mass plays, usually with the famous tandem forma- ton the only exception being dash or IS yards by Quarterback Starr, who, by running the whole width of the field, eluded Yale's ends for that distance.

 Forty three thousand persons watch ed the game in weather as warm as Indian summer. It was the largest and most brilliant gathering ever seen at foot ball game in this country. Spec tators were keyed up to high pitch of excitement by the incessant cheering l of the undergraduates and the Harvard stands which contained fully 50, 900 per sons, after the team had shown itself | able to stop the Yale offense and dis l played an ability to make short gains I became overjoyed at the showing of the Yale Lacked Spirit.

Here Crimson stands, which were cheering every member of the team, returned the courtesy with spirit. The Yale line then wended it's way beneath the posts and each man threw his hat over the cross bar.
