ence in this line. At any rate, greatly to
the gnashing of the teeth of the Yale
side-lines, Ely’s signals were for more
rushes, and a moment later, without
having gained, his man had to give up
the ball.
Well, Harvard rushed it over then.
That’s about all one can say of it. The
drive was through or over tackle and
guard, being more frequently directed
to the left side of the line. Just before
this touchdown was made, Chamberlin
decided that he must have more weight
back of the line and substituted crippled
and pale-faced McBride for crippled
Townshend. It helped, but it wasn’t
enough. The goal was easily kicked by
Haughton and Yale took up the play
again with eleven points against her.
THREE GOOD PLAYS.
Before that half was over there were
three points of great football play. In
the first and the third Ely was the cen-
tral figure. In the first he let the twirl-
ing drive of Haughton bound from his
arms and over his own goal line. Har-
vard’s forward followed it, but not as
quickly, by a fraction of a second, as
Ely himself followed it. The Yale
quarter dove and fell on it and the big
Harvard forward dove a part of a
second later and fell on Ely, grinding
him along the slippery turf for fifteeen
feet. He held the ball, but he was very
slow to get up. He didn’t say much
when he did get up. It was seen sim-
ply that he was hurt. No one seemed
able to find out what the injury was; it
did not appear that anyone tried very
hard. He, after his way, made light
of it. When the game was over, the
fact came out that two of his lower
ribs broke in that play. An hour and
a half later he closed the game with one
of the great runs of the day, which was
ended by such a fierce tackle as broke
the light sprinter’s collar bone. ‘Only
a “green stick’ fracture,’ he would prob-
ably have said. And those were only
lower ribs that he broke at this time.
But it made a considerable ‘total of in-:
juries for one who, before and after his
injuries, played such a large part of the
Yale game in offense and in defense.
It was in defense that he made the
closing play of the first half. Yale was
fighting for inches between goal and
five-yard line. It seemed almost surely
a third touchdown in the first half for
Harvard, in spite of a general stiffen-
ing of the Yale defense, which, at the
six-yard line, had held the charges of
Reid, Dibblee and Boal with only a
slight gain for the Crimson. Boal was
tried for the fourth down and it was
little Ely who dove into the mass and
put him on the ground at Yale’s two-
yard line, just three feet short of the
necessary advance. It was a hard play
and it hurt, but it was a nretty closing
of a bit of old-time Yale defense, which
removed all further danger for that half.
DIBBLEE’S RUN.
The other play, of the three men-
tioned as notably closing this half, was
the forty-yard run of Dibblee, which
carried the ball to that six-yard danger
point just spoken of. Haughton and
Warren interfered for the Harvard
Captain as Daly’s signal sent him to
Yale’s left. It was beautiful running
and beautiful interference. The Yale
left was completely cleared and even the
sure Chamberlin, who had torn over
from the other wing, was thrown off.
It was only after eight lines had been
crossed that the swift Dudley darted
through the interference and over-
hauled the Harvard Captain almost
within reaching distance of the goal
line. It was a great run ended by a
great tackle.
THE THIRD TOUCHDOWN.
The third and last bit of scoring by
Harvard was made when the second
part of the game was about half over.
The first real Yale attack had been
made and met. The last charge of
Chamberlin’s men was still ahead. Be-
tween these two examples of what used
to be known as Yale football, there was
quite a piece of what is now coming to
be known as Yale football. The choice
kicking of Haughton, with one especial
crossfield drive that went out of
bounds near the Yale line, and the
choice fumbling of Yale, brought the
- blee.
Harvard machine again in operating
distance. Yale did stiffen up once and
recover the ball, but she quickly made
amends for that and the next time there
was no stopping. There was one play
on about her twelve-yard line when one
of the Harvard backs (it looked like
Warren) was thrown far out to the Yale
right, beyond tackle, where he found a
hole as large as anything Messrs.
Heffelfinger and Morison ever made,
and went bounding down for ten
precious yards. Only six feet more.
Let us hasten on, even as Reid hastened
over into Yale’s once sacred goal.
Haughton had no trouble in making it
seventeen. This writer must ask to be
excused from an attempt to describe
‘the Harvard demonstration at this
point. :
With eight minutes left, the Yale
men began to play the game. Of this
excellent part of the contest, the story
has been told.
Outside of Ely’s wounds the play did
not seriously injure any. The Yale ad-
vance, at the opening of the second
half, wore out the MHarvard giant,
Jaffray, for whom Burnett was substi-
tuted. Just before that attack was
ended, Cochrane of Harvard’s left end
was used up in a tackle of Durston and
Farley took his place. In Yale’s final
charge in the closing five minutes, Dud-
ley at last succumbed to the strain and
limped exhausted from the field. His
knee was not well when he began and
he had played desperately in both of-
fense and defense. Eddy dropped back
to take his place and Schweppe went
in at Yale’s right. This, with the sub-
stitution of McBride for Townshend, al-
ready recorded, completes the list of
changes for the contest.

Notes of the Game.
It was clean football. Over-eager-
ness, resulting in off-side play, was a
few times penalized, both suffering
equally.
There was little in the condition of
the weather to favor one side over
another at either end of the field. Har-
vard, taking the north side at the be-
-ginning, had a slight wind at her back,
but the storm had lost its violence when
the game began. Had the rain stopped
an hour before the game, the field
would have been in good condition. It
had disposed of the downpour of three
days wonderfully, and the sod, though
slippery because the rain continued to
fall, furnished, even as it was, fairly
firm footing.
Tons of crushed stone were dis-
tributed in the Field itself on the ap-
proaches to the gridiron, making the
footing much better than was antici-
pated. The car service was good, but
the walk to the cars down the hill and
over the bridge was, of course, most
disagreeable. When will long-suffering
patience be rewarded with a new road
and car-line to the gates of the Field?
THE CELEBRATION.
The great organ of “temperance” has
not come to the WEEKLY’s exchange
table, so it is not possible to say what
happened after the game.
The Harvard crowds moved out of
New Haven as fast as possible, but
enough were left until late in the
evening to remind people of what had
happened. Yale men were silent and
fairly sullen. They admitted the squar-
est kind of defeat, but were not dis-
posed to talk much. They were careful
about placing blame.
The usual Yale football dinner was
held at the New Haven House in the
evening. The speakers paid tribute to
the excellence of the Harvard Eleven
and landed the qualities of luck and
determination which were so evident in
Yale’s individual players. w.

Harvard °02, 6—Vale 02, 0.
The Yale Freshmen were defeated in
their annual game with the Harvard
Freshmen on Saturday morning at
Yale Field, by a score of 6 to 0. The
game was closely contested throughout,
the only touchdown of the game being
made seventeen seconds before the final
call of time. The Harvard Freshmen
had the ball on Yale’s forty-yard line
and Hall, who had just gone into the
game, supplanting the injured Blagdon,
was given the ball for a plunge through
the left side of Yale’s line. He broke
away from the struggling mass and
without interference dodged the Yale
tacklers and made a brilliant run down
the slippery field, scoring a touchdown.
Rainsford kicked an easy goal, making
the total score six points.
In the early part of the first half each
team had an excellent chance to score,
but lost the ball on downs when within
a few yards of the opponent’s goal.
Time was called with the ball in the
center of the field
