Obituary.
ABRAHAM HAZEN ROBINSON, 735.
Abraham Hazen Robinson, M.D., of
the Class of Thirty-Five, died at his
home in Concord, N. H., on Monday,
October 31, at the age of eighty-five.
Dr. Robinson was born in Concord,
January 18th, 1813. -He prepared for
College at Phillips Exeter Academy
and then entered Yale, where he grad-
uated with honors in 1835. He then
studied medicine and in 1840 began to
practice as a licentiate of the State
Medical Association; at Hillsborough,
N. H., whence, after about four months,
he removed to Salisbury, N. H. In
1859, he removed to Concord and car-
ried on his profession there until a few
years ago.
Dr. Robinson was one of the best
known physicians of his State. Beside
being President of the State Medical
Society he published numerous pam-
phlets and it is said that he first brought
into use in this country the name
“diphtheria.” During the Civil War, he
received an appointment as Acting As-
sistant Surgeon and as such had charge
of a post hospital in Concord for three
years. In 1840, he married Miss Abby
G. Gould, of Hopkinton.
Dr. Robinson was held in high
esteem by all with whom he came in
contact and he enjoyed the confidence
and respect of all his profession.
AND HARVARD WINS.
[Continued from 78th page.|
serious indictment he can bring against
the Harvard football eleven of 1808.
This football eleven, it must be re-
corded, met the Yale football eleven at
Yale Field in New Haven on the after-
noon of November 19, about 2.22 P. M.
By a few minutes after four, on that
same afternoon, it had scored seventeen
points. The Yale Eleven, in the mean-
while, had prevented the Harvard
eleven from scoring any more than
seventeen points. That completes the
record of scoring that aiternoon.
17 to o! That is great deal worse
than 12 to 6, the last and only preced-
ing time when Harvard’s relation to
Yale in the matter of football records
has been what it is to-day. Twice in
twenty-two years, or somewhere around
that, is not so very bad as a total to
allow an antagonist like Harvard, and
that is a feature of the situation that
one can linger on with some satisfac-
tion.
And one can go back to ’9o and
ponder over the situation then with a
great deal of satisfaction. That first
breaking of the spell of Yale victories
by Cumnock’s team did not take one
grain out of the Yale pride (some-
times called conceit). In fact, it rather
added inches to the stature of every son
of Eli. One cannot recall it now
without feeling that the glory of Yale
athletics was never brighter, even on all
those fields from which she had so often
borne her teams in triumph. :
THE LAST TIME.
The last twenty minutes of that last
time Harvard did it, is the best thing
Yale ever did. Her volunteer center
broken and her flank turned in two
brilliant individual achievements, left a
prestige of fifteen years smashed to
smithereens. But old Yale rose up and
from that minute until the battle ended
her victory-flushed antagonist was trem-
blingly, fearfully on
Sinking spirits rose as by some magic
upheaval and poured a volcanic force
of desperate energy. It might be
called inspiration or fanaticism. That
superb wall of Harvard muscle, with its
power of perfect unity, first trembled
at the shock of Yale; then crumbled
and broke. It was sent staggering,
blow on blow, a foot, a yard, five yards
at a time, down after down. It was
crowded back from the Blue’s country
to the Crimson’s, from line to line, with
no staying for even a moment of the
charge,—back to the 25-yard; to 20, to
10, to 5, and, still impotent, was literally
smashed across the death line. Half the
margin of victory was gone. And
when, after night itself was almost there
and those two splendid antagonists
closed in their last struggle, there were
not enough yards between Harvard’s
goal and that frenzied bunch of blue
players, to allow a safe margin for
another smash at tackle.
These are good things to think about
just now and there was something last
Saturday that made one think of it.
In that last five minutes Yale put the
same old devil into it. The inspiration
was about half an hour late in arriving,
although perhaps it reached there as
soon as it could and stay out the game.
But it was there.
WHEN YALE PLAYED.
It showed that Yale wasn’t dead, de-
spite all the things she has done to her-
self in these latter years. It was about
the defensive.

MADISON SQUARE. —
four o’clock in the afternoon when you
first had evidence that Yale was playing
football. She took up the game at the
middle of the field, and she stopped in
front of Harvard’s goal-post, with a
desperate attempt to score by a place
kick from the field in the last second of
play. One cannot explain that advance
on any material grounds. The team
was in just as hopelessly bad condition
as when it withered away before the
Harvard charges earlier in the struggle.
It was the same,team; but just for those
five minutes all the staleness and the
lameness and the looseness went. They
got up and did things and no man can
tell you how. The rushing was not
the tremendous impact of the Harvard
eleven with its crushing force. It was
the rip and tear of desperation. Brown
got his footing; Marshall arrived. The
theological center became a positive
aggressor. That superb tackle, Captain
Chamberlin, rose even beyond the high
water mark of individual playing he had
already made. Stillman handled his
man. One forgot that Hubbell was
overtrained. Schweppe took care of
right. wing with fresh enthusiasm.
Durston could crash through for one
or two or five or even ten yards. Mc-
Bride became the old relentless propel-
