set the Harvard followers half crazy by dashing

was at last within striking distance of the
Crimson goal line. Then 1t the Yale coaches
sent in Philbin in Bomar's place, because of
his ability as a line plunger, and he quickly
proved their judgment good by tearing through
Harvards right wing for nine yards, only to be
stopped by Wendell He got two more in the
same place. putting the ball on Harvards S-yard
line. The Harvard defence stffened up in this
time Of greatest need, and Coy stopped for
three yards.

wildly for a touchdown, while the Harvard fol-
lowers sank their nails into the palms of their
hands and begged their men to hold. It was
desperate situation and the Harvard team fought
manfully and stopped PhIbin on the next play

tried to kick a goal from placement, but the
ball was blocked and Harvard hopes sank
again. Newhall recovered the ball on Tale's
30-yard line and made long forward pass on
the next play. but Jones caught the bail for
Yale and ran it back twenty yards just as
