Especial to The Farmer.)

Harvard hopes scared to enthusiastic confidence of victory when the great est football game of the year opened today with John Haryard's stalWart sons the fayorites, and the first per- iod of the game gave promise of an overwhelming defeat for Old Eli.
 The mighty roar of Crimson root CTS shook the huge stands as the Harvard hosts appeared to be sweep ing Yale before them. When the first period ended with a score of 10 to 0 in favor of Harvard, only the loyal spirit, the dauntless confidence of the Yale cohorts, banished what seemed to be, the herald of sure defeat.
 Yale, trounced badly the first per- iod. entered upon the second with Wheeler ont of the game, Cornell having replaced him shortly after his tumble had cost the Blue 2 points.
 In the early stages the pigslxin was booted back and forth with unusual frequency and the merits of the con- tending punters played g vital part in the progress of the struggle.
