Felton's Punts Successful.

After finding the Yale back field a most
unstable proposition in handling punts,
Harvard made very little effort to test
tie strength Of the Blue line. The Ear-
ward offense was based almost entirely
on getting down the field under Feltons
high spiral punts and taking advantage
o: the slippery fingers of Wheeler and
IiyEn.
had the Harvard ends been as fleet as
Ru,ue.yleF who played d remarka bic
-the-fieId game for Yale, the score

perlCd Yale dropped four Harvard punts
II succession. but neither Hardwlck nor
q Brieu could recover them On the
osirr hand only one such error was made
by Harvard and that Yale could not turn
To- advantage.
" nat the score might have been had
not Bomeisler and ketcham shown such
speedy work in railing Harvard backs
and breaking W the Crimson otfense was
q matter for speculation tonight. The
entire Yale defense seemed To rest ON
THESE two players and when Bomeisler
was taken OUT in the second period. the
Crimson offenSc again became very aS-
Ere>sive. He was sent in again in the
third period. To stem the Crimson tide,
bat WAS unequal to the task. ON the
other hand the playing of Flynn ana
Wheeler WAS q keen disappointment TO
the Blue grandstauds Every time Eel
into the air. a shlver went through the
y ale stands when they saw either of
these TWO players start TO catch the pig
skin. After several brilliant runs around
the Harvard ends for gains which seem
al long, but proved short Flynn was lea
from the field N tears to give way to d
treSher man.
Yale tried two other cuarterbacks in
place of Wheeler, but was finally COM
PEELED 10 send the light-haired playe~
back for the final period. Then he dis
tinguished himself by getting more snap
into the Blues attack. which meant sixty
Yards In successive rushes, the longest
consistent march by scrimmagiug of
either team. This Yale offense which de
VelOped so strongly in the last moments
was based on the Minnesota wing shift
which the R.ue team executed with speed
and precision and took the ball TO within
the shadow Of the goal posts. Wheeler
ordered one more dash against the Har-
ward line. The Crimson line. which had
been giving way. was reinforced by fresh
men, and the ball was taken from Yale
on downs eight yards from the goal line.
No Chance for Goal.
Perhaps the most dramatic incident Of
the game came few minutes later
when Pumpelly. the hero Of the Yale
Princeton contest. stood waiting on Har-
wards &5-yard line. with autstretcheG
arms, eager 10 repeat his performance
against the Tigers. Wheeler WAS indie
cisive in giving the signals and befor,
ketcham could throw back the ball. til,
final whistle sounded.
The Harvard victory was very crafty
ing to the 1900 ardent supporters OF III,
Crimson The Cambridge team as
whole was considered the best ever de
Veloped at Harvard, whose charging quail
tiles were powerful and its speed unu
sually fast.
AS in all this seasons games, the bril-
liancy of Brichley's running and goa
kicking outshone the individual play %

Wendell, twice placed at the head or SO

yards. The second touchdown was du
