Nv WILLIAM PEET.

day ended about the way the majority
OF experts predicted-Yale won.
Everybody expected n stubborn fight
and tho score shows how desperately the
battle was waged. When one team de-
feats another without crossing the ether
teams goal Inc the fact is Significant
that neither team could afford to make
any mistakes, and both quarter backs
called for such PLAYS as would result in
possible gains. but no serious losses

quickness 20 seize every opportunity gave
Yale tho greater number Of chances to
try at the Crimson crossbar. and It was
the side that had the most chances that
finally secured them.
Onside Kick Possibilities
The writer has always been impressed
with the great possibilities Of the on
side kick. Both Yale and Harvard tried
this trick Saturday. and only by the
greatest luck IN the world were checked
by one or more vigilant opponents. Had

critics as perhaps the greatest defensive
coach IN the business. Take, for exam
pie. his rush line last year. veritable
stone wall: and Harvard's line Saturday
was go strong that Yale could not pene-
trate It consistently, ana to Coys drop

not lose sight Of the man responsible FOR
Yale's great machine, Head Coach How

Lord Pauncefote suffered greatly
from rheumatic govt In his latter days,

had to use two canes. He went one
afternoon to make a call, and he re-
NAMED quite long time, so long that

When Lord Pauncefote left the house

thinking there was some mistake In
his orders, he started to walk to the
embassy, which was only square or
two. But he had twinges of his old
enemy, and the pavements were icy.
He was large, heavily built man,
and he feared a fall. While he was
bordering over his dilemma along

and the British ambassador, after a
courteous salutation, asked: "My

no legislative enactment to make him
get up early. He rose at in the
morning in the summer and climbed
up a sort of watchtower which domi-
mated his house In the Boulevard de
Longueville, Amien, where his study
was situated. He called this room
his cabin" There he used to work
until 10 o'clock. In the winter when
he awoke he would await daylight
either reading in bed or evolving
scenes for his novels. After lunch IL
was his practice to walk along the
boulevards, which form beautiful
green cincture around the old Picardy
town. Then he would make for his
club and read the newspapers and
study the scientific reviews, from
which he derived great aid In the
composition of his books.
