but not IN honor. Never was there

the seasons apotbeosis OF America s
greatest amateur sport.
Harvard played an unbeatable game.
Her team work was matchless, her
courage indomitable. her individual play
replete with dash and briiliancy.
Kennard Is the Hero.
In Harvards hau of fame young Ken

field I'm a steady advance. CorDett had
dashed like an antelope around Elrs
right for twenty-five yards. There had
been an -on-side kick on which the pig
skin went to Yale, but Coy had punted

Two Splendid Teams Appear.
There was a roar OF glee from the /
Yale supporters as the Harvard team, /
led by the crippled captain, Burr, sud |
denly appeared. The players dashed /
out on the field, big, brawny fellows, /
every man jack helmeted like crusaders /
IN black leather CuiraSses There was /
confidence IN their every act, Harvard /
looked good and members Of the de- 4
feated Princeton eleven on the side /
lines pronounced them Al If appearance /
went for anything.
Cutler ran them through a series of /
plays, and they were so engaged when /
the air was rent with another loud /
sound as Yale appeared. EIi's braves 4
looked just as big, just as bulky, as 4
Harvard.
Man for man the teams doomed giant
like on the chaIk-marked field. The
biggest man of all was Fish, the erin
son right tackle and field captain. Six
feet three he stood. A 20O-pOuLd mass
OF bone and muscle. Harvard relied
much on Fish and the big fellow did
not fail Referee LangfOrd called Cap
tains Burr and Burch together. A coin
was tipped and Harvard won Burr

Yale Kicks Off.
So Yale kicked off. AS Hobbs sent

When Yale got the ball it was at
