YALE AND HARVARD
Gridiron Battle at Cambridge
an Historic Event.
HARD WON TRIUMPH FOR OLD Ell
One of Hardest Football struggles OF
Year Won by IndomitabIe Perse-
yerance-Students In wild
Dance OF JOY.

BOSTON, Nov. 27.-Yale splendid in
a hard won triumph, Harvard magni-
ficent in defeat Such is 1905s page
in the story Of historic gridiron rival
ry. Hurled back upon their own re-
sources by the splendid courage and
new found power of the crimson, the
1.-the, athletic eleven of the blue over
mastered the grim warriors Of the
crimson by the scant score of 6 to 0 in
a wonderful battle fought within that
equally wonderful structure, the Har-
yard stadium.
Never before ia this country was
there gathered for an athletic contest
a throng the like in numbers and in
character of the respondent assem-
blage EMBODIED in the beautiful sweep
of the stadium-the stadium with its
classic curve facing the turrets and
towers of the great university across
the Charles and with the deep glooms
thrown along its walls by the descend
ing sun Within the walls OF this en-
closure stood 5000 persons, radiant in
crimson and in blue stood because the
wonder of the battle down in the val
ley of green turf compelled them to
rise to their feet almost from the start
until the final whistle announced that
Yale had conquered.
1t was one of the hardest football
games of recent years, and the sons
of Eli won in the second half through
their indomitable perseverance after
Left Halfback Nichols had muffed a
punt.
Twice in the first half Yale had a
chance to make touchdown, but both
times the Harvard defense was so
strong that Yale was stopped with u
few scant yards to 60.
Unluckily for Nichols he had just
been called into the game to succeed
Foster, and on his very first play he
Numbered. Shevlin was on the bali
like fash, and with only thirty yards
to go Hutchinson tried exactly the
same tactics that he did against Prince
ton last week.
The Harvard line crumbled and final
ly gave way, and Forbes crossed Har-
Yards goal with the only touchdown of
the game. 1t was fortunate substitu-
ton for Yale that took Tad Jones
out and put Hutchinson as quarter.
He infused new life into the Yale men,
and they fought desperately to the fin
ish.
In general play Yale was superior to
Harvard. 1t was Burr's superb punt
ing in the first half that gave the Grim
son chance TO hold its own against
the blue.
When the game was concluded Yale's
students in "A wild delirium of joy,
headed by their band danced across
the field and cheered and serenaded
Harvard.
The cheers were returned by the
crimson, and then the Harvard stu
dents, with their band, marched back
to Cambridge. The Yale men were
still dancing in the darkness that had
settled, and there were strong indica-
tons that they would continue dancing
all night

steamer Argo Near Holland.


HOLLAND, Mich, Nov. 25.-After
four women, little girl and eighteen
men passengers had been rescued from
The stranded steamboat Argo by Il
breeches buoy near here the line on
which the buoy Travelled broke, leaving
seven men, with a crew of twenty-five,
still on the vessel and in imminent dan
ger of drowning. Fortunately the line
broke when the buoy was being hauled
back to the boat for another passenger.
The life saving crew realized the
peril of the situation and took to their
surfboat in desperate effort to reach
the steamer.
The Argo went hard aground on a
sand bar north of the north pier in a
terrific storm on Lake Michigan and
IS held fast.
Owing to the heavy sea which was
rolling it was impossible for the life
saving crew 10 reach the steamboat
and the passengers and crew could only
oe taken off I'm the breeches buoy. They
were I'm great peril.
When it was decided TO remove the
endangered passengers with a brooches
buoy a life saving crew dragged n can
non TO the beach and fred a line across
lie rough water TO the Argo. Tt was
made fast on the vessel and then the
breechcs buoy was sent out. The per
sons brought ashore first We're Mrs. Z.
J. Emlskern. Mrs. G. johnson ana Mrs.
w. T. Conan and little daughter Of Big
Rapids Mich. and Mrs c. w. Earl OF
Chicago.
After their safe arrival male passen-
sengers were one by one drawn to the
beach until the line broke The pas
sengers retained their self possession
throughout the experience. There was
nothing like panic at any time after
the steamer struck.
Since the vessel grounded The gale
has increased steadily, and it has driv-
en- her 300 feet nearer shore.
