Lee's Great Run and Touch-down.Dean signaled Lee to try the right end. As Dean arose for the pass, Lee was already on his way to the right; the ball went straight into his arms. Newell and Hallowell kept Wallis and Hartwell at buy, and he was safely around the end. How he runs now! McClung and Morison felt the weight of his hand as they tried to tackle him. Thousands of Harvard's supporters were wild with delight. Cheer upon cheer rent the air.

The Close of the Game.During the remainder of the game it was too dark to see the plays. Harvard's goal was never in danger. The eleven simply contented itself with keeping the score what it was. Whenever Yale would get the ball down well toward the line, the Harvard rushers would hold Yale and secure the ball. Then Trafford would send it up the field with a long punt, and let the Yale men wear themselves out forcing it back. It was a long half, but at last the referee called time, and the game was won. Trafford got through him without much trouble, and in turn did some fine blocking and tackling.
