YALE WINS

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

The only plays where they successfully twarthed Harvard's rushes were where Hinkey was concerned. The greatest surprise was that Harvards's backs gained only through Yale's bosted strong centre.

The second half opened up with the flying wedge, but gained only five yards. A shout went up from the crimson grandstand. Yale answered, gather herself together and plowed through Harvard's left for repeated gains. A charge through the centre was also successful.

Armstrong broke from the line and carried the ball to the 15 yard line. Two rushes were made with little success. Thorne then carried the ball to the 10 yard line. It looked like a touch-down.

Yard by yard Yale forced the ball to the 5 yard line and the blue went wild. Another yard was gained, and then Butterworth went across the line for a tochdown. Goal was kicked.

It took Yale just eight minutes to make the goal.

Harvard was not daunted. The flying wedge made 18 yards, but the ball was lost on downs. Yale's form was infinitely better than in the first half.

Then Armstrong made a long rush that carried the ball to Harvard's 35 yard line. By short rushes ten yards more were gained.

But then Harvard gathered herself together and secured the ball on four downs.

A charge was made through Yale for 5 yards.

Wrightingroh made a magnificent spur 8 around the left end for fully twelve yards. Brewer by a run even a bit longer carried the ball to in 50 yard line.

Then Harvard lost about two yards on a try around the left end. Yale's offside play gave Harvard 5 yards more and the ball was now fairly in the centre of the field.

A buck through the center carried the ball into Yale territory. Around the left, Wrightington went for five yards. Brewer made a small gain.

It seems impossible for Harvard, however, to get the ball entirely down the field. On she went, nevertheless, for five yards which her mass play gave her. Then, while the doctors looked after men who were slightly hurt, Harvard reckoned her chances.

Twenty minutes more to play, and the ball on Yale's 45 yard line. Once more around Yale's left end, for a small gain, and then Harvard chances took a set back when Brewer lost some six yards, and another rush gave the ball to Yale on downs.

Yale made good solid gains, and then by magnificent playing Harvard gets the ball on downs. The wind had now died out and this great advantage which Yale had in the first half was never had by Harvard.
