AND HARVARD WINS.

[Continued from 7oth page.]
ler of the days when he was himself,
and Ely, magnificent exemplar of the
grit of the Blue, took his broken rib as
a high spirited steed takes a spur.
Yale lived then; but Ely almost died.
He finished off that string of rushes by
skirting Harvard’s left, as a partridge,
driven from his cover, skirts the edge
of birches. And, like the partridge,
when the hunter knows his station, he
fell at Daly’s charge. The Harvard
quarter struck the Yale quarter so hard
that the impact could be heard all
through those dripping stands. He
not only held him; he lifted him up even
as he struck, and threw him back, it
seemed five yards. When.the situation
and Ely were diagnosed, it was found
that Yale had gained twenty yards and
Ely had lost some important connec-
tion in his anatomy. He could not dis-
guise the fact-although he had disguised
his earlier injury, but he would say
nothing about it and rebelliously refused
to leave the field. As the whistle
sounded a moment later, when the ball
had been carried over in front of the
Harvard goal, he was lying on the
ground and from his outstretched arms
the Yale Captain had just sent the
ball low over the Harvard line in
a last desperate attempt to score against
the finest eleven that ever came out of
Cambridge.
THE FIRST YALE OFFENSE.
To go backwards in the game, it was
early in the second half when Yale first
showed something of this same spirit.
It foreshadowed that final rally in the
end of the game and in some respects
resembled that all but triumphal march
of 70 yards at Princeton the Saturday
before. One had begun to doubt that
any impression at all could be made on
that Harvard line, so it was all the
more refreshing when that first sign
of a brace appeared. There had been
an exchange of kicks, in which Dibblee
had made one of several fine dashes
through a broken field, carrying the ball
to nearly the center of the field. Har-
vard had attempted to rush, but failed,
and Cutten put the ball in play for Yale
at or about her 50-yard line.
irregular Blue line became fierce and
the backs recovered some of the dash
and force of former contests. It was
the straightest kind of football; there
was no mass coherence, which was so
evident in Harvard’s tremendous rush-
ing. The Harvard line was split, rather
than forced. Dudley more frequently
carried the ball, but Durston, McBride,
and Chamberlin codperated. An addi-
tional aid was a neat gain by Ely on a
double pass.
It raised the spirit of the Yale side
considerably. For all that, the progress

was slow. And when, after fifteen yards
had been slowly wrenched from Har-
vard’s strong grasp and the gains came
all the harder, there was a great deal of
wondering along the side-line as to why
Yale did not kick. “They can never get
that through,” said one of the coaches
to his neighbor. “It’s costing too much
both in strength and in time. You've
got to do things quickly nowadays in
football. A short high kick gives at
least a chance for a fumble.”
BUT YALE HAS TO YIELD.
Still Yale hammered persistently on
and Harvard cut down the gains from
yards to feet and then held them abso-
lutely. As the ball was transferred this
same critic continued: “There goes the
first chance for a touchdown.” It was
not ‘long after this that Haughton’s
kick, supplemented by a Yale fumble,
brought the battle again near Yale’s
goal, where the Harvard machine once
more began business.
For those who want to see the course
of the contest, as shown by the succes-
sive series of rushes and runs, the dia-
grams of this issue ought to tell the
story with.a fair degree of completeness
and accuracy. It is rather the pleas-
anter way of telling a story to a Yale
audience. But that Harvard eleven was
a wonderful thing, and just how it ac-
complished its particular purposes on
three occasions is worth the knowing.
Its first work was early. After the
usual exchange of kicks Yale began on
her rushing program about the middle
of the field. She left it off where she
began. Chamberlin’s men could not at
the outset do anything against the Har-
vard defense, which was fierce, sure,
consistent and omnipresent. Chamber-
lin kicked and Harvard returned. A
long punt from Haughton went over the
Yale goal line, which meant nothing
but an opportunity for Yale to kick out
at her 25-yard line. The kick-out by
Chamberlin was taken by Dibblee, who
did what Harvard was often able to do
under those circumstances; that is, he
ran about 20 yards before he was
stopped. The Yale ends were seldom
down with the kicks.
When they arrived the Harvard in-
terference was in the way and almost
invariably too much for them. Now
and again the wet ball slipped from
Harvard hands, but there was no
instance in the writer’s recollection
when that did Yale any good. There
was another Harvard man there to get
it. The Yale forwards had very little
idea where the ball was. “They don’t
know even when it’s on the ground,”
said one of the coaches on the side-
line. Those men were not in decent
condition. Hubbell, in spite of several
fine tackles, was certainly playing be-
low his standard and his face was any-
thing but the face of a man trained to
the task of a championship contest.
Dibblee decided that Harvard, at
about the center of the field, was near
enough to the Yale goal line to travel
there. Harvard’s great play was the
tackles-back formation and it worked
almost every time. It was fine, sharp,
hard’ football and Reid, Warren and
Dibblee in turn took from two to five
yards on every formation. One gain
crossed three lines. Yale supporters by
no means expected what was coming.
“They'll hold them yet,” said the sub-
stitutes, and the Harvard mind was not
unprepared for a characteristic Yale de-
fense. There was a characteristic de-
termination and sand in the last ditch
fight, but it was death and not salva-
tion which followed. The ball went on
from the 7-yard to four, and then to
the 3-yard line and then there was
only a single yard to cover. And a
good strong drive at center covered it.
It took a lot of tangling to tell whether
the trick had been done or not, for
everyone was in at the death. Jaffrey,
who was several times as long as the
distance Harvard wanted, had made a
dive at Cutten’s shins. The Yale cen-
ter came over on Jaffrey, then Reid of
Harvard came over the Yale center;
also the Yale goal line.
THE HARVARD JOY.
For the first time in eight years the
Harvard bleachers saw Harvard actually
leading and acted accordingly. You
may think that the weather prevented
any picturesque demonstration of joy.
But a football crowd can rise superior
to any such slight embarrassment as a
north-east storm. The system of de-

fense used against nature, after the
mackintoshes and rubber coats of New
Haven had all been bought up, were,
first, tarpaulins and oilskins for the
men, and, when they had given out, oil-
cloth and marble-cloth for both men
and women. Some undergraduate prob-
ably first thought of the latter de-
vice. He went into a department store,
bought a few yards of this stuff, cut a
hole in the middle for his head, and there
he was. When the Harvard and Yale
crowds, who of course followed this ex-
ample by the hundred, just as long as the
supply of material in New Haven lasted,
donned these chorister’s cotters, they of
course chose their colors when they
could. The more horrible and repug-
nant the design as long as the shade was
all right, the more it -suited the man.:
Grewsome carpet patterns were the
most popular. Those who couldn’t get
the right color chose white.
The ecclesiastical effect was interest-
ing. So you can imagine how that
crowd of six or seven thousand Har-
vard people looked when that touch-
down was made. At such a time red
oilcloth is not used to keep the rain out,
nor are cane seats uséd to sit on.
The touchdown was at the west side
of the field and Harvard punted out for
a try at goal near the center. There
was no hitch in the program and
Haughton had all the chance possible
for a goal, but missed it, the ball strik-
ing the left post. The Yale crowd liited
a shout, for that meant that a good
touchdown could still win the game.
Two more good ones did.
Harvard made the first touchdown
after 12 minutes of actual play. She
took about half the time to make the
second. After the exchange of punts
one of the beautiful plays of the day
was made by Ely of Yale, who took the
ball on a kick and started for Harvard’s
right. He slipped by all the forwards
and, when at last squarely blocked,
jumped clean over the Harvard tackler
and added five yards more before he
was downed. He had covered 25 yards.
Yale had been blocked again on her
rushing and again took up the kicking
game,
left the scene of the contest at about
Yale’s 15-yard. The evident play was
still for Yale to kick; but perhaps she
was discouraged by her former experi-
