of. Biglow quickly booted the ball straight
into McDonald's hands and the latter came
hustling back to Harvard's 80 yard line.
where the bulky Roome felled him like an
OK. Burr punted on the following play and
Veeder was tackled on Yale's so yard mark.
Roome could not make more than five yards
in attempting to skirt the ends, so Veeder
tried an onside kick. Newhall grabbed the
ball out OF the air on Harvard's 81 yard
mark. whereupon Burr, In spite Of a poor
pass, made a grand punt OF forty yards to
Veeder, who was missed by Macdonald,
but was downed in his tracks by Starr.
Hoome smashed out six yards through
Burr, who was laid out for a moment for
on Yale's 30 yard line Tad Jones made a
thrilling rush around MacDonald's end for
thirteen yards. Roome lost some of this
advantage, n with twelve yards to gain
Veeder punted to Newhall, who was thrown
by Alcott on Harvard's IS yard mark.
HARVARD QUICKLY LOSES BALL.
With splendid courage the Harvard
players prepared to tear things up with all
the strength at their command, but the
resolution went FOR nothing for Can't. Fos-
ter, as he dived into the line head first,
dropped the ball. Brides fell upon it and it
was Yale's chance to do some smashing.
Morse and Veeder made Ave yards through
Burr and Parker and Morse cleaved his way
through Osborne for three more.
With two yards to gain the Yale captain
concluded not to punt, but taking the ball
from Jones he made another plunge into
Haryard's left wing. The defence braced
up however, and the ball fell short OF the
necessary gain by about six inches, so it
was Harvard's ball on four downs, but before
further operations were possible the lum-
bering Parker limped of the feld in favor
OF Fraser. Then cam a booming punt by
Burr, which was muffed by Jones, and as
Macdonald fell upon the ball on Yale's
so yard line the Harvard flags sprang up
again in a swaying forest. Newhall tried
an onside kick, but Starr was nowhere
near the ball when it fell and Veeder maxi
ing the catch, was dropped heavily on Yale's
20 yard line. This showed a woful lack
of keen play by the Crimson and groans
were heard on all sides in the Harvard
grand stand.
Jones tried a quarterback run, but the
Harvard men came through quickly and
getting in his way forced him TO try a for
ward pass; but before the ball left his hands
Jones changed his mind and Rugged it
tight. at the same moment tumbling head
long. Jones then burrowed his way through
Pierce for five yards. and with the same
distance to gain on the third down Veeder
kicked the ball out OF bounds at Ysle's 81
yard mark.
The oval was carried in fifteen yards
and Newhall tried a forward pass. Again
there was no Harvard mar to taxi IL and

Ellis TEAR UP ~HARvARD's
Yale began another terrific onslaught,
which tore up Harvard's defence in a shock
ing way. Roome bowled over Burr for four
yards, Morse butted through Fraser for
three and Jones, skirting the end, jumped
over MacDonald's PROSTATE body and
hurried onward until Wendell dropped
him with a deadly tackle.
II was a frs down and Roome had Just
torn of four yards through Pierce when
Harvard received fifteen yards for holding,
which placed the ball exactly in the middle
OF the gridiron. Roome was beaten back
by Osborne for a loss and Veeder then
punted out of bounds at rva DIS rs yard
line. At this junoture Starr, who was pretty
well used up; was succeeded by Orr at Har-
wards right end.
A fifty yard punt by Burr was collared by
Veeder, who lodged Macdonald neatly,
but fell a victim to a fierce tackle by Pierce.
This occurred or Yale's so yard line, where
upon Veeder tried an onside kick which was
a triie too long for Forbes to catch, so that
when Lincoln got the ball Forbes was on
hand to tackle him roughly. Newhall
tried the same play, but his onside drive
was also too far for Orr, and Veeder, secur-
ing the ball. was pinned down on Yale's
as yard line. Roome failed to gain on a
delayed pass and Veeder punted straight in
among the Yale substitutes, who were
trampled under foot by two struggling
rivals for its possession.
YALE's E GAME.
Yale's defensive game was a thing OF
beauty and a Joy forever and Harvard,
fighting against great odds, seemed more
puzzled as the time few by When Burr
was called upon for another punt he handled
a bad pass, yet with the Yale forwards
swarming around him he sent the leather
for another fifty yard journey, the ball roll
ing out at Yale's 10 yard line.
In this exchange Of kicks Burr made a
gain Of twenty-five yards, but Jones could
not gain in a rush around Harvard's left
end, for Burr was in the way with a heavy
throwdown. Roome was we'll nigh ex-
hausted and Bomar came on in his place.
Jones tried a quarterback run and lost ten
yards because Of a quick tackle by Mac
Donald, and. as Yale also was penalized
fifteen yards for holding, the teams lined up
three yards from Yale's goal post. Yale had
the ball, however, and Capt. Morse, cool
headed to the freezing point, ordered an
attack, in spite Of the critical situation.
Bomar, therefore, was driven through Os-
borne for four yards, n then Veeder
punted. Here was a chance for Newhall
to make a fair catch from which Harvard
could try for a goal from placement, but
the Crimson quarterback lost sight OF the
golden opportunity, for after taking the
ball On the fly he tried to run it in and
was downed' on the IS yard line.
Harvard was Disguised and the coaches
threw up their hands in despair. With
