rather than as individuals
First Quarter.
Capt. Aldrieh Of Yale won the toss
and chose the south goal, thereby gain
ing the strong wind as an ally, a factor
which was destined 10 exert powerful
influence on the result of play in this
quarter.
Brown of Harvard kicked off squarely
into the wind. but sent the ball spinning
down the field for sixty yards 70
OHearn, who ran it back fifteen yards.
Although Yale was on the Blues 10
yard line. Aldrich courageously ordered
a running attack. -Four times in sue
cc1cion the Inlv captain alternating with
Jordan hit the Harvard line. but could
not hammer out a first down. On the
last down therefore Aldrich kicked. His
powerful foot sent the ball sixty yards
down the field. swirling oyer the heads
of Harvards backs and rolling twelve
yards along the ground to Harvards
goal line. where the latter made touch
back.
Harvard brought the ball out and put
it in play on the 30 yard line. Thus
the wind, aiding Aldrich's great punting
prowess. in eight plays had transferred
play from Yale's Is yard line to Har-
wards 90 yard line. In vain did the
Crimson batter the bulwark in Blue
three times in succession, not gaining an
inch. Fits kicked to Aldrich. The
ball travelled only thirty yards against
the wind.
Four line attacks by Yale from tan
Gem formation, with Aldrlch and Jordan
carrying the ball, drove the Crimson
back eight yards. With downs eX-
hausted and Harvard's goal line thirty
five yards away Aldrioh attempted a
drop kick. which failed and Harvard
for the second time made a touchback

play on their 20 yard line. On an at
tempted line smash Harvard fumbled the
ball. Yale recovered it, Immediately
fumbled IL, and Harvard finally got it,
Fits Immediately punted to OHearn. On
the scrmmaEe which ensued, so sharp
was the tackling of Clark and Tier
ney of Harvard that Yale lost ground
on the assaults Aldrich thereupon
lifted another great booming punt of so
yards over the heads of Harvard's backs
the ball rolling across the goal line and
Harvard touched back for the third time
in the quarter.
Harvard took the ball out and Fits
Immediately punted 80 yards TO O'Hearn.
Yale put the bali down on the so yard
line Tor sciIrniuage.
Jordan from tandem formation hit the
Crimson line right and left for gain
of six yards. In the next play, also
from tandem formation, Aldrich received
tla bail and with amazing speed circled
Ia-vard's left end. With marvellous
swiftness he burst through the bunch of
Crimson warriors who swarmed to tackle
him and leaping from line to line raced
forward thirty yards, finally being over
taken by Kane on Harvard's 10 yard
line.
At this point Harvard's line became
impregnable. Four running assaults re-
suited In a loss of four yards. Bafiied
iT the drive for touchdown, Aldrich
fell back TO his II yard line and kicked
an easy goal from the field, scoring .
points for Yale.

kicks followed, In which the strong wind
forced Harvard for the fourth time in
the quarter to make a touchback and the
period ended.

formation gained yards more
The Blue now stopped the Crimson
catapault twice in succession without
gaining. Owen thereupon fell back to
the 30-yard line TO try to score by a

Tierney stopped it. Aldrch punted
thrty-five yards to Buell., who made a
fair catch.
Standing forty-four yards grom Yales
crossbar, owen attempted place kick
which failed and Yale touched back.
From this point for sixteen plays Har-
ward and Yale, alternating In possession
