AGAIN VICTORIOUS!

The Fifth Consecutive Victory Over Yale in Freshman Foot Ball.

Harvard had the ball and Cabot behind the V made 20 yards. Sherwin then tried a run to the right but gained nothing. Corbett gained 5 yards through the right end of the line and Newell got 10 yards through the left but the ball went to Yale for holding.

Bliss made a pretty run of ten yards between Wrenn and Shea. After two more tries without gain Noyes punted high. Corbett thought the ball would roll over the line but it stopped on the five yard line. Corbett punted to Bliss and the ball went to Yale at Harvard's 40 yard line. Yale gained nothing in three tries and the ball went to Harvard.

The field had been frozen and thawed so that it was very slippery and a great deal of falling down was the result. The Harvard rush line being heavier and clumsier was more troubled by the condition of the ground than the Yale line was.

Cabot made a bad pass and lost 5 yards; and Corbett punted to Bliss.

With the ball at the Harvard 45 yard line McCormick gained 5 yards but Jenkins lost ten by a bad pass and Bliss fell on the ball. Bliss then made a pretty run around Wrenn's end for 15 yards. McCormick lost three yards by Waters' good tackle. Bliss then tried for a goal from the field, but the ball hit a Harvard man and bounded around a good deal until a Yale man dropped on it at the Harvard 15 yard line. Good tackling by Newell and Shea and steady blocking in the centre prevented Yale from gaining any more and the ball went to Harvard on 4 downs.

Sherwin, Stone and Shea gained about 5 yards, but Corbett failing to gain, Yale got the ball on four downs.

Bliss lost three yards by Shaw's good tackle. After another unsuccessful rush into the centre by a Yale halfback, Bliss punted to Corbett who tried to run with the ball and failed. Corbett gained 5 yards by a run and Harvard was given five more for off-side play. Sherwin got 3 yards, Newell 10 and Corbett 3, but Yale got the ball on 4 downs.

Good tackling by Cabot and Newell kept Yale from gaining and Noyes punted badly, Shaw falling on the ball.

Corbett and Suerwin gained about 15 yards but Yale got the ball on holding. The ball was now on Yale's 30 yard line.

Winters, Polk and Noyes failed to gain 5 yards and the ball went to Harvard. Newel got ten yards but the ball was taken back and given to Yale for holding. It immediately after went back to Harvard for the same reason.

Cochrane, James, and McCormick now did some very good tackling. Although Harvard kept the ball a long time, she failed to gain. Corbett, after a number of rushes by Stone, Sherwin and Newell had got the ball to Yale's 15 yard line, carried the ball back 20 yards on the fourth down to keep it. The ball went to Yale the very next play for holding.

Noyes tried to run, but was tackled and lost the ball. The Harvard men thought it had been called down but Lewis picked it up and ran fifteen yards before he was stopped by Corbett. Immediately the ball went to Harvard on four downs. Corbett made a high punt and Yale got the ball on her own 40 yard line.

After losing 5 yards by two runs by Bliss and McCormick, Noyes kicked to Sherwin who ran well for about ten yards but hurt his leg when tackled. Newell gained a little but Yale got the ball for holding. Noyes made a poor kick and Wrenn dropped on the ball.

Corbett gained 8 yards, Shea 10, Shea 5 again, Newell 5, Shea 2, Corbett 0, Newell 2. Yale's ball on 4 downs.

Lewis got 4 yards by two rushes and McCormick and Bliss made a handsome loss of 10 yards by the crises cross trick. Noyes made a big punt from the 10 yard line-to Corbett.
