YALE WINS

A Glorious Contest-Fine Exhibition by Both Elevens-How the Points Were Made.

Two yards and five yards were gained on rushes through the center, another rush and the ball was on the 20 yard line.

The men butted centre and guards backed the centre in a bunch. The ball was pushed to the 15 yard line on this play.

Here Harvard lost the ball on downs and Butterworth kicked to the 45 yard line.

Yale got the ball on four downs.

And after short rushes Butterworth kicked. Brewer misjudged and Wrightington secured it on 10 yard line. Brewer kicked back to 25 yard line but Yale at once rushed it back.

Harvard secured the ball on a fumble, Brewer kicked and Yale missed the kick.

Rushes and another kick put the ball into Yale territory. At once Butterworth made a wonderful kick of 60 yards.

Brewer could not kick far against the wind, but soon Yale dropped the ball and Harvard by her favorite play of withdrawing all but three or four men from the line charged into Yale again and again. A rush through the Yale tackle gained two yards more. Mackie plowed through the centre but Harvard lost through holding.

5 yards went to Yale for off side play. Yale tried the Harvard centre and found it a veritable stone wall.

Butterworth tried for a goal from the field but the ball went wide from the goal.

Harvard massed in a wedge on the 25 yard line but made no gain.

Short rushes proved equally futile and Brewer kicked to the 40 yard line.

Yale tried to run around the end, but Harvard broke through. The Yale man dropped the ball and it was Harvard's, on the 40 yard line.

Charge after charge was made through the centre. It was on the 45, the 50, the centre line. The ball was in Yale territory now, but the rushes did not stop. 3 and 2 yard rushes came thick and fast.

50, 45, 40, 35 yard lines were passed. 7 minutes more remained to play. Could we make a touch-down? Off-side play gave Harvard 5 yards more and the Crimson was rampant. Right straight through the centre they went again. Now the ball was on the 25 yard line and for the first time a rush was unsuccessful.
