THE BRIGHT SIDE.
The Many Things That Were Admir-
able Last Saturday.
It was not good form nor was it good
iootball, but in spite of the fumbles and
in the face of defeat one could not but
admire those plucky charges that time
and again seemed to bring us close to
wiping out that touchdown.
Nor could one look with less than
admiration upon the rallying of
that unconquered and unconquer-
able line, that was always ready
to make up for any error and accept
the task at any moment. Fortune
seemed to bend one unending frown
upon Yale from the very start, but in
adversity the spirit of the team only
grew greater and there was never a
moment when one did not feel that the
team expected and meant still to win.
That there were errors—errors that cost
us much—goes without saying; else we
had never lost; but the men themselves
know this and have taken it to heart
to correct them. Hence it can do no
harm to speak of the things which they
did that made us ready to spring to our
feet again and again with cheers.
There was the pluck of the little limp-
ing quarter, like a bird with a broken
wing, who, before he was finally taken
out, gathering himself for an instant
with all his old-time dash and daring,
circled his opponents for fifteen yards!
Then there were the repeated indomi-
table runs of Durston in the second
half, whom the enemy seemed unable
to check short of the needed gains.
There were the dashing runs of the
two substitutes halves, when called
in to make good the places of the men
before them. And then there was the
Yale captain, seizing his prostrate half
and actually dragging him and the
tacklers hanging upon him—dragging
them all by main force for yards un-
aided. Then the substitute quarter
overtaking the flying Princeton man
and bringing him down, only to find
him handing the ball to another; and
then, seizing him too, battered to earth
by the interference, he clung to his man
until his friends reached him and the
danger was over.
And above all and pervading all, that
sense of absolute seturity given us by
that untiring line, which always came
to the rescue and always held the
enemy in the last ditch. Altogether
one could not quite reconcile that team
with defeat. But defeat has come and
with it lessons that must be learned
and remembered. Meantime it is not
with any feeling of discouragement that
we think of them entering the game of
next Saturday, but with a pleasure that
there is another game in which they
may make good the defeat of yesterday
and still put up a fight worthy of the
spirit that is in them.

Yale Wins Shoot.
The Intercollegiate Gun Club Shoot
was held the morning of the Yale-
Princeton game, on the grounds of the
Dayton Gun Club at Monmouth Junc-
tion, N. J.
Yale’s team won the championship
trophy, while Bancroft, of Harvard, car-
ried away the cup for the best individual
score. Teams were entered from Yale,
Harvard, Pennsylvania, and Princeton.
The conditions were five men to each
team, thirty birds per man, at unknown
angles, with the rapid firing method.
Eastman, 1902, did the best work for
Yale, making 24 out of a possible 30,
and taking the last 10 without a miss.
The trophy was a silver cup. An in-
dividual cup was given to each member.
HARVARD IS WAITING.
Her Eleven in Good Condition—A
Look at the Men.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.]
Cambridge, November 16.—Harvard
is waiting for Yale. The annual foot-
ball contest between the Elevens of the
two Universities next Saturday is arous-
ing a deeper interest than the contest of
last year, and this in spite of the fact
that the game is to be played in New
Haven. Harvard’s recent victory over
the Quakers has keyed the undergrad-
uate to the highest pitch. If Harvard
wins this final contest, it is believed
that she will be accorded first place
over Princeton, not only because she
will have defeated two of the big
elevens, to one for Princeton, but also
because the success of Princeton Satur-
day is regarded here has not establish-
ing beyond all question the superiority
of the Princeton team. If defeated on
Saturday, it is conceded Harvard will
rank third.
Student opinion as to the probable
outcome is curiously divided. Among
the coaches, and quite generally among
the newspaper correspondents, who
have followed the team from the begin-
ning of the season, Yale’s chances are
rated high. But the rank and file of
the undergraduates can see nothing but
success for the Crimson. Neither opin-
ion can be regarded as trustworthy.
The optimistic view of the majority 1s
a chronic condition here at Cambridge.
I have never known a year when the
