Summary of the Yale-Harvard Game.

tried 70 kick goal from placement. standing
OF the 3O-yard line. Then. with a suddenness
that caused Harvard hopes to sink Yale rushed
the oalI practically the whole length of the field
by varied assortment of plays, only to have it
all go for nothing when Bomar like Parker
failed in try for a goal from placement
This excitement over Harvard took a turn at
forcing the fighting. but Yale's opportunity
came when. with the half almost over. Howard
Jones recovered the BAH on Harvard's 20-yard
line after an outside kick Then Yale turned
loose the fun battery of her offence Philbin
who had gone in for Bomar. and Coy took turns
at plunging into the line. and slowly but surely
Harvard was forced back, fighting vaIsntly bur
in vain. until Coy went over for a touchdown
from which Biglow kicked a goal. There were
fen minutes left, and Harvard. undismayed
once more carried the fight into Yale's territory
and was pressing hard when time was up
In the second half Yale again cut loose and
scored another touchdown. which. by the way
was due entirely to the ability of the team 10
take full advantage Of all opportunities After
Harvard had held Yale for three downs on her
30-yard line Jones made a forward pass There
was no Yale TO receive it, but Brides came
rushing up and fell on the ball for Yale after two
or three Harvard men had scrambled about for
it in vain. This proved disastrous for the Grim
son. as it gave Yale the ball on Harvard's u
for touchdown. Bigow once again kicked
the goal and the score was 80 Thereafter
Yale the defensive most of the time
1t was a wonderful crowd which turned out to
see the game, and there appears to he no limit
to the publicS appetite for football. There were
not quite so many persons present as two years
ago. when $4,000 persons looked on. for the sim
pie reason that the temporary stands at the end
of the field were not built up TO the same extent
There were seats, it was said, for $4,000 per
sons, and every seat was occupied and many
were standing up the crowd was not far behind
the renla rkable record established in 1905.
One woman tainted and was carried from the
field but otherwise not one there was who did
not stay to the end and wish for more. The
lowering and dripping clouds which had been
lowering over Cambridge for two or three DAYS
had been dispelled and in their place were
bright, sunny skies. while cool. invigorating
wind from the northwest made furs and over
coats comfortable. The field was in excellent
condition. in spite of the recent rain although
it was too soft for the backs to show 10 advan-
tage in runs through broken field. Tad Jones
in particular, failed to bring off any of those
sensational lodging runs by which he earned
fame in the Princeton game although this may
have been due in part TO the speed of the Har-
ward ends in covering Newhall's well placed
kicks.
NEW FOOTBALL WELL DISPLAYED.
The game was replete with all the features of
the football, from the long, booming punts
to the dashing runs around the end and the
heart depressing forward passes The game
was calmly played, and while Big Bill Ed
wards, the umpire, inflicted number of pen
alties for holding offside play there was NOT
a single incident to the brilliant and SEN
sational struggle. The scene at the finish of the
game was repetition of the inspiring one a
week ago at New Haven. when Princeton brave
to the end. bowed in defeat and sang their IA
nous hymn while Yale was celebrating Never
again can Harvard men be accused of anv lack
OF the true spirit which goes to make up the real
sportsman, There slipping awav 10
avoid the dispirting and disappointing sight ~
Yale's mad revel, but every Harvard man stood
in his place and supported the team by cheering
and singing while the undergraduates of Vale
whirled through their famous snake danca os
victory and hurled their hats with utter disre
gard of consequences, over the cross-bar of tho
goal posts. The Yale men were not forgetfuI in
their joy, and gathered in front of the Harvard
stand to acknowledge the cheer from Harvard
men and to cheer the Crimson men in return
The summary OF the game shows that the
teams were more evenly matched than the
score would indicate. Yale gained 10 yards by
rushing in the first half TO 76 for Harvard
whereas Yale gained 50 yards in this way In the
second half TO so for Harvard. Yale gained ff-
