THE GAME IN DETAIL.
[Continued from 88th page. |
was making this splendid charge, to
see the ball go back, but it was after all
a gain of ten yards on the first time
and the crowd took heart at that.
On the next two plays Chadwick
failed to gain and then a fumble by
somebody gave Harvard the ball at her
45-yard line. Parker went at Brown,
but the latter breaking through doubled
him up like a jackknife for a 2-yard loss.
Olcott did an almost similar trick for
Kendall and Hallowell was obliged to
kick. McBride here made his first fum-
ble, but Fincke saved it not a moment
too soon. On the next line-up the en-
tire Harvard team attempted to smash
McBride’s protective formation, but al-
though it seemed to rain crimson-
shirted players outside of that protecting
semi-circle, within, there was room and
to spare for McBride to swing his foot.
And this was true right through the
game. McBride was never hurried, and
the fiercest onslaughts did not seem
to disturb the confidence of that
little body of men, who met the
attack successfully every time. The
kick almost doubled that of Reid’s, be-
ing taken by Parker on his own 30-
yard line. Kendall was thrown back for
a loss and as Daly could only get two
yards on a double pass, Hallowell had
to kick again. His driving force
seemed pretty nearlv exhausted, for the ©
ball dropped at the middle of the field.
McBride. wasted no time in useless
pounding now, but kicked to Daly, who
was downed by Hubbell in his tracks,
on the 20-yard line, one of the few
times that this man did not substract 5
to 15 yards from the Yale Captain’s
drives, and for that reason, if no other,
worthy of record. After Parker had
failed through Stillman, Kendall turned
Hubbell’s end for about seven yards,
but in the next play lost three on ac-
count of McBride’s tackle. Hallowell,
who wis growing weaker in his punt-
ing, made a very poor attempt, the ball
going out at the middle of the field.
Beginning near this point Yale made
her splendid but ineffectual effort tao .
score by the old-fashioned method,
Chadwick, McBride, Keane, Francis
and Stillman, being used for short
steady gains principally through the
tackles, but when the ball had reached
Harvard’s 30-yard line, Chadwick’s des-
perate attempt to make the necessary
two yards was stopped.. Kendall’s try
on a double pass was rather disastrous,
for Stillman was through and with
Francis and Brown slammed him back
eight yards. Reid now began to do the
kicking and landed the ball on his 50-
yard line, where McBride could not
hold it. Hallowell, and Ristine, who
had just been substituted for Campbell,
were both on it and on the next play
Reid went five yards through Hale.
Two failures in the same place made it
necessary to kick. McBride’s return
went soaring over the heads of the con-
testants to Daly, 55 yards away, who
made a marvelous catch, and on the
next line-up Kendall made one of the
most remarkable runs of the day, around
right end almost unaided, covering 24
yards, and landing the ball on Yale’s
45-yard line.
HARVARD'S DESPERATE RALLY.
There were only four minutes left
to play and Daly recognizing that this
was his only chance, began driving his
team with incredible swiftness, con-
sidering that it was the last of a des-
perately fought match of more than an
hour’s playing, but Yale met it with a
play that was every whit as fast. The
ball was no sooner down than the lines
were again crashing into each other.
Reid took five yards. Parker one, Ken-
dall four, and then Reid five again.
One line after another was crossed with
Yale fighting hard, until at the 23-yard
line, Daly’s fumble gave Hubbell’ the
chance to get the ball. A sigh of relief
went up from the Yale sympathizers as
McBride got the ball away on a good
clean kick of 40 yards, although the
whole Harvard rush-line came ripping
through upon him. Barring a fumble,
Harvard had lost her last chance to win.
But the erratic jade who presides over
football fields gave them another op-
portunity. _Daly brought McBride’s
kick back, in his own inimitable way,
five yards beyond the middle of the
field, and Reid on the first line-up drove
a twisting punt to Fincke on Yale’s I5-
yard line. To the horror of 5,000 peo-
ple and the unutterable joy of some
30,000 others, Fincke dropped the ball
and Hallowell was upon it like a flash.
Then for a second time was Yale called
upon to do herculean work. Parker
dashed around left end, but Hubbell
was waiting for him and threw him
back three yards. Reid could do no
better than a yard at center, and there
was nothing left but a try at goal anda
few seconds in which to do it. The
ball was snapped, and Hallowell, Har-
vard’s only hope, dropped it to his toe.
It traveled high enough and far enough,
but was five feet to the left of the goal
post. Before the ball could be put in
play the second thirty-five minutes had
expired, and the great game was over
and had resulted in a tie—nothing to
nothing.

Saturday’s Game.
[Editorial in Yale News.]
No man who was fortunate enough
to witness Saturday's game at Cam-
bridge will ever forget it. As a strug-
gle marred by no suspicion of unsports-
manlike conduct, so evenly contested
that the interest and enthusiasm of the
spectators never wavered for an instant,
and as an almost perfect example of
the highest development of football in
this country, its equal has seldom been
seen. Those who take an interest in
intercollegiate sport for its own sake
and for the manly qualities it engenders,
could not have failed to be greatly
pleased. The ordinary tie game is an
unsatisfactory affair, for it leaves both
sides in doubt as to the relative merits
of the two teams. But the result of
Saturday's game was immensely grati-
fying to Yale and her sympathizers,
and undoubtedly immensely surprising
to her adversaries and the country at
large. And that is no great wonder;
for against Harvard’s invincible and
experienced Eleven went a team that
had met defeat at the hands of Colum-
bia, and that had had but little oppor-
tunity to play together in their present
form. There was just one thing that
all the critics had left out of account—
the spirit that brought back the coaches
to New Haven; that brought out and
perfected the material in the Univer-
sity; that sent the undergraduates out
in a body to each day’s practice; that
aroused the magnificent cheering at the
game; that made the team powerful
enough to hurl Harvard back at her
very goal line—the Yale spirit, which
lives in all its vigor despite so many
contrary assertions. The Eleven that
first lined up against the crimson on’
Soldiers Field was called a green team:
the Eleven that held its own around the
Swaying goal-posts was a team of vet-
erans. All honor to Captain McBride
and to his men! ;
_Two years ago, under very similar
circumstances, a tie game was played on
that same field between the same two
colleges. The week following Yale was
‘victorious over Princeton on the Yale
Field in the last game of the season.
It is our great hope, and we are not
without ground for expressing it, that
history will repeat itself.

Harvard Played Her Best.
[Harvard Crimson Editorial.]
Of course we are sorry Harvard did
not win. We saw a fine game, and we
met an opponent who was much
stronger than we had expected. There
is nothing more to say unless it is
this,—the Harvard Eleven played the
very, best game it was capable of and

was prevented from scoring only by one
of the most magnificent stands ever
made “in the last ditch.” It was a fair
contest well fought to the end. Both
teams played their best, but neither
could score.

Yale °03, 6; Princeton °03, 19.
The Princeton Freshmen played Yale’s
Freshmen at the Field Saturday, Nov.
18 and won by a score of 19 points to 6,
outplaying them at almost every point.
In Levick and Hodgman Princeton had
two steady ground-gainers who have
been on the University squad and still
stand a good chance of playing in a por-
tion, at least, of the Yale game.
The game began at 2.35 o’clock, when
Princeton, having chosen the north coal,
kicked off. Yale started in with a rush
and her efforts in working the ball down
the field on line bucks were for a time
successful. But Princeton rallied,
secured the ball and Hodgman’s and
Levick’s low charges through tackle car-
ried the ball closer and closer to the
Yale goal, until at last Bush crossed the
line on a run of twenty yards around
right end. Hodgman kicked the goal.
Sutphin kicked off again. The Prince-
ton Freshmen after a few short gains
fumbled the ball and Eliason, Yale’s
center, secured it. Then, responding to
the calls made by their classmates, the
boys pushed their way down the field
by short line plunges and Sutphin was
finally shoved over for a touchdown.
Clark kicked the goal. Shortly after the
kick-off the Yale Freshman line again
gave way before the assaults of the
Princeton backs and soon Levick had
scored another touchdown, from which
the goal was kicked by Hodgman.
In the beginning of the second half,
the Yale Freshmen gave promise of ty-
ing the score by working the ball to their
opponent’s five-yard line. Here the
Princeton men stood firm and held for
downs.
Forced back to their own goal, Yale
attempted to punt, but Holt’s pass was
poor and a safety was a necessity.
The last touchdown was made by
Hodgman after some fine line breaking.
No goal was kicked. Score 19-6.
The Princeton team played well to-
gether, and each man did all that was
expected of him, while the Yale Fresh-
men relied too much on individual work
and were not sufficiently aggressive.
Their defense was especially weak.
