a M scramble ensued for IL. btglow
grabbed It, dropped II, then made another
grab. and finally picking 4 up successfully
he spoiled what o probably have been
a remarkable play and perhaps a run for
the whole length of the field for a touch
down, for he lost his footing and sprawIed
out o. all fours. New hall and Wendell
bounced upon him then on Yale's Is yard
line, where Harvard's chance TO SCORE was
one.
Capt. Morse was unable TO make an I'M
preston upon Harvard's centre. and when
Veeder. dropping back for a supposed kick.
began a run for III left end OF Harvards
line Lincoln rushed up behind I'm Tor q
quick tackle, resulting. in a loss OF several
yards. incidentally Harvard received nj
teen yards for holding, whereupon Veeder
booted a long spiral punt to Newhal VINO
made a neat catch and hustled BACK 70
Harvard's 40 yard mark.
Harvard THE TALE DEFENCE.
So fast was the play that there was no
time for reflection. and though, Harvard
was filled with egret at Newhall's failur
to kick a goal, the incident was 500 for
gotten when Foster. Wendell and Lincoln
began hammering away at fales defence
for a total gain OF fourteen yards, but Har-
ward lost Ave yards then because Of ofside
play, so Burr on the third down Punted,
his drive being a long twister which Jones
muffed squarely on Yale's IS yard line.
The ball was called back, however. and
Yale received fifteen yards for holding.
Immediately Burr kicked it over again
and Jones. making a good catch his time.
lodged three Harvard tacklers but did not
gain a yard, as he dashed diagonally across
the field. Macdonald finally dropping him
with a savage grip around the neck. On a
double pass Veeder was tackled by Starr
for no gain and when Knox failed to make
more than two yards Veeder, aided by the
winds kicked the ball far over Newhali's
head, the latter permitting it to roll over
the goal line for a touchback.
H.. Jones was slightly disabled In the
mixup and gave way to Alcott. who sue
ceeded him at Yale's right end. Then there
was a oonfsb among the Harvard men and
Capt. Foster rushed over to his side OF the
gridiron calling Upon Fred Wood Of Boston
to act as official timekeeper.
Mr.. Wood was on the Job directly, and
play was resumed when Burr punted out
from his % yard line. The ball sailed
through the air like a miniature airship and
then began to settle. The Yale men seeing
that Knox would catch it formed a human
fan in front Of him and the moment the
little halfback gathered in the pigskin,
he darted of toward Harvard's right end
behind magnificent interference.
KNOX DAsHEs o RoR Is
ARDS.
Although they did their best, the Harvard
players who saw Knox sCooting along with
the ball under his arm could not get within
striking distance of him because Yale men
doomed up on all sides and blocked them
on. On rushed Knox with increasing
speed, while the whole Yale section Of the
field lost it's collective ead completely.
Forty-hve yards had been covered by
Knox before Wendell made q flying tackle
on Harvard's IS yard line n tumbled the
little fellow over g the side lines.
IL was a play by the Harvard fullback
- E~ Had
Knox succeeded in passing him nothing
could ave stopped a score. The Harvard
crowd gasped for breath. Such effective
play by Yale had not been looked for, and
when the Blue battlers lined up in a jify
to resume the attack the Crimson spirits
Heavyweight Forbes received the ball
for the next assault and he made five yards
so easily that IL looked to be q sure thing
for a touchdown. Knox was driven into
IN opening between Parker and Burr for
three yards more. ~whereupon Harvard's
centre, a typical fat man. weighing 20
pounds, staggered to his feet with bellows
TO mend. Into the thick OF the fray in
another moment FORBES dashed with ir-
resistible fury and, followed by Morse and
Knox with hort gains, the ball was finally
worked TO the 8 yard line. II was the third
down with seven yards to gain, and 1t looked
as il Yale was stumped, for Harvard had
braced with all the grit che men could
muster.
But right here Yale had a trick that
a beauty, except for the fact that there
was a bungle as q climax. The ball was
passed to Tad Jones, who turned his back
pon the scrimmage, and, running out
several yards, he balanced himself and
twenty yards to Alcott, who was within a
short distance Of Harvard's goal line.
YALE MISSES cHANcE TO SCORE
5000 --As
as the ball settled in his arms. only to
dribble through them in a such a manner
that a sure touchdown was lost. This
occurred on Harvard's 10 yard mark. and
before the chagrined Yale man could re-
cover the ball Capt. Foster had fallen
ball out OF danger. and Harvard. ~regaining
composure, began to root with renewed
courage.
A Wild cheer greeted Jones's mutt OF
Burr's punt, but II was smothered by an
outburst from Yale as Knox Owed sue
cessfully at the ball near the middle Of
the field. Morse made three yards through
Harvard's left wing, but there was some
thing wrong with the machinery when
Kersberg jumped through the middle OF
Yale's line and spilled Veeder as he was
in the act Of taking a pass from Morse from
a run around the left end.
Veeder, however, made a forward pass
on the next play, n as there was no Yale
man near the ball when IL ten a Harvard
player made the mistake OF catching II
instead Of letting it touch the ground:
This was bad judgment and caused a vail
of distress from the Harvard throng. Capt:
FOSTER however, made a clever run Of
twelve yards on q fake kick, and Lincoln
in two tries gathered in seven yards and
placed the bali on Harvard's Al yard mark.
~HARvARD's BRACE INEFFECTIVE.
Wendell made a first down in a good
dash through H~ockenberger and Brides,
and for a moment it seemed as il Harvard
had struck the proper gait, but when New
nal tried an onside punt he sent the ball q
trife too far for Starr to catch it, so that
Morse was its oaptor on Yale's 40 yard line,
running out of bounds. Veeder split his
way through Osborne for f~oursyards, but
when he tried Pierce he was beaten back.
Then came an onside kick by Knox. The
ball was cleverly placed for a catch by
Forbes, but Just as the big Yale end wa
about to grab the oval with a clear field
in front OF him Lincoln threw his arm
around him and In momentary excitement
tried TO throw him to earth. Forbes
,wrenched himself free, and in a rough and
tumble scramble he finally secured the ball
on Harvard's 20 yard line just out OF
bounds. 1t was a clear case OF holding, but
Yale had the ball just the anne and no
time was lost in continuing the assault.
