  Yale Takes the Great Foot Ball Game From Harvard. BLISS, THE FAT MAN OF YALE, Did the Great Act Of the Game and the Whole Play Was so Carefully Planned and Brilliantly Executed That Harvard Gould Hardly Realize What Had Happened-Blue Was All the Rage and It’s Wearers and Supporters Are Happy. SPRINGFIELD, MASS, NoVemoer 49, The blue of Yale again waved triumphantly above the crimson OF Harvard and every supporter of the New Haven college, from King OF American Foot Ball Walter Camp to the smallest boy who wants to be on the winning side, is happy. -, Yale won her foot ball game with Harvard with the score of 6 to 0: Twelve minutes before the close OF playing time c. d. Bliss, the white headed popular Yale half-back, made the only touchdown OF the game, scoring four points, and Butterworth, the Yale full back, kicked goal. For an hour and three quarters the two elevens had fought over the ire sponsible pig skin aad neither side had scored. Harvard had punted out OF bounds at her 5O-yard line, a Yale brought it In. The Yales sent her backs in straight succession to the Harvard line for substantial gains. Nearer and nearer the Yale players carried the ball until they were within fifteen yards OF Harvard’s goal line. Up to Haruard’s five yard line, the blue legged athletes fought their way, and then Yale slowly formed her wedge and prepared for its final trial. Harvard massed her men right In front OF the Yale players, and was just as determined. There were few Sec onds OF waiting as Stillman, the Yale centre rush, stepped over the ball and the ball was snapped back and the Yale wedge charged. The struggle was in the, southeast corner of the field. Harward pushed desperately forward, for getting~al else save wthstanding the Yale attack. just as the two teams met out popped “Pop” Bliss, the fat Yale man, and while Harvard was still showing ahead he galloped to the left and laid down with the ball behind Harvard’s goal. For an instant Harvard was paralyzed by the trick. Then SSe realized what it meant. Looking around him Capt. Trafford saw only whirl of blue that caught the Yale cheers and scatgoIod them TO the four points of the compass for miles around. Every Harvard player was dazed by the significance OF the situation and the crimson color in every Harward cheek faded away in the moment OF defeat. The flushed Yale faces gave out the crimson, but above 1t tossed the ocean of blue made mad with victory. 1t was great game, and was played on as fine field as was ever seen, and in as fine weather as ever favored college contest. At 1:50 there were fully $4,000 people on the field. Two minutes later the crimson flags at the northeast corner OF the field began to wave furiously. The Harvard eleven was coming to the scene of strife, and as the big, strapping PLAYERS, clothed In their foot ball jack cts and padded canvass trousers trotted out on the field, Harvard gave up a mighty cheer. For just one minute Harvard had everything her own way. At 1855 the Yale players came on the field from the northwest corner and Yale took her turn at yelling. AS the players OF each team fell on the ball and rolled over the field in the limbering up process every body cheered, which lasted for about five minutes, till Capt. Traford. of Harvard, and Capt. McCormck,o of Yale, met to toss for choice. Yale won, and as there as not wind enough to be an advantage, she took the ball. The two elevens took their positions quickly and prepared for the opening crash. The men were in the following posi-
