The air was thick with "reminiscences.
The old days ard the old battles were
gone over in detail-and what rivalry
t.2ere still was between the players OF
various L ale teams! Heffelfinger and
Corbin. who came just before McCor-
mick and his team. had 1t that theirs
were the big days and theirs the big
teams. But they were drowned out by
the tubilant heroes of 's2-the team
which met 44arvard's flying wedge for
the first t he and won the day at Hamp-
zen Park in Springfield, Mass, on No
vember 10. 1892.
Nowadays the boys complain about
playing two hard games in eight days.

feeted Harvard on Saturday and on

Tigers into camp. too.
Stories of Past RetoId.
As they sat around the dinner table
they delighted In picking to pieces the
scraps OF the past. particularly that
game with Harvard. Pop Bliss. who
carried over the touchdown that beat
the Crimson. was there and had to
stand for that same old badinage about
disobeylng orders and disregarding sig

as that which Yale faced at Princeton
last Saturday. Yale has found its way
by fierce line smashing to the Harvard
two yard line. just as Yale did at
Princeton last Saturday. But In our
march down the field on Hampden
Park Butterworth and Pop Bliss led
the artillery drive, theirs punches into
the Harvard center gaining two or three
yards each attack. and five yards In
three downs made it first down In those
days. Vance Mccormick did some rum
ming from quarterback and Laurie Bliss
tried to turn the Harvard ends once or
twice. but were throttled by Harvard's
all American, end. Jack Hallowel.
"We reached the Harvard two yard
mark, and II was our last down. McCor-
mick gave the signal for Pop Bliss to
ram the Harvard center just as we had
done for half dozen plays. The ball
was snapped 20 Bliss, and the entire
Harvard eleven threw themselves into
as close a huddle as II could get TO re-
sIst tho mass attack. Bliss. seeing the
