the days play. but the Crimson's Ct
tense was giraffe AMI when the teams
were forced to fail hack on the kicking
game Newhau and Burr were com
pleteIy outcIassed by Coy.
Both OF Yale's tOuchdowns. one scored
in the first half by Coy and the other
in the second by Coy, were chiefly the
result Of straight football, and the
Harvard tackles.
The heavy penalties inflicted on Yale
dou5tlessly cut down the Blue In the
first half, and Parkers weak effort at
kicking goals from placement robbed
Harvard Of whatever chance she had Of
scoring.
A more beautiful day for football
could not be imagined. With a sky as
bule as turquoise and a level, sprngy
turf under foot, the air was just cool
enough to make overcoats comfortable.
There is only one street passing the
Stadium. and this made tie gathering
of the crowd a wonderful spectacle. At
III ST they came by twOs and threes with
their Insignificant flags, balloons, ban
ners, and badges
Then. as the time for the game drew
near. as II by magic. the crowd swelled
into two human tidal waves that con-
verged rom either direction and broke
into pray at the gates. The Ii-tle
splashes Of color here and there along
the great stone terraces grew into
whirlpOols Of blue and black and Grim
son that never became still.
In one of the slow whirls the Duchess
Of Marlborough and her party were
caught and swept 70 their seats in the
Harvard side. Against the steep, cliff
ike sides face the seats, the crowd look
ing lake variegated swarm Of ants on
a mammoth sugar lump.
Mass of Colors.
There were not many who did not
wear college coIors. There were bras
saros and bouquets, red and blue gowns
and wells, flags and almost everything
else that could convey an idea Of pref
ercnce for one team or another. There
were probably more blue and red neck
ties among the crowd than were ever
worn before OF a single occasion.
The Stadium is so vast that a crowd
of 10000 or 1900 seem lost In It. Up TO
half past l o'clock it was the huge
structure that impressed the senses;
then it was the multitude.
On either side of the Stadium was
band, which added materially TO the
uproar. Harvard was first to set the
tumult going, starting a song OF vic
tory-a rather solemn prOduction--which
rang over the field dismally. Yale roar
Ell back the old time 'EooIar chorus,
and the vocal duel was on. After that
there was no cessation. The tumUlt rose
and fell in wild waves of sound.
Diverting Scenes and Cheers.
At ten minutes to O'Clock Yale swept
out on the field. ragged, shaggy
lcokIng troop, many OF them bandaged
from former battles, and hehneted and
padded Ike Old-tme crusaders. All
the eastern side of the stadium, where
the Yale legIons sat. blussomed into
blue 1t looked like a field OF blue
Sentions blown hither and thither by
crazy winds.
Then Yale's cheering took on a queer
ingredient Of savage Intensity. Next
Harvard began 10 roar IN vast vol. me
and the red flags waved aloft The
Harvard team followed closely upon
Yale's heels. The Duchess Of MARI
borough stood up and waved with the
rest, SO did Ter step-father, o. H. p
Belmont. Strings OF paper tape OF all
the hles of the rainbow streaked the
pretty girls and flowing far over The
gTidirOn.
The Harvard players seemed worse
of than Yale's.. They wore more band
