After each Har- vard-1ale football game for twenty years, the writer’s of news history have been obliged TO open the annual rec ORD of these encounters with the rrite / statement yale again defeats Harward. Though again defeated the ! calculations of hopeless disgust over Harvard’s performances are not al. together fair. Harvard. though beaten. played god football against the fates that might well-nigh be seen IN the | air. The estimates of the number of persons who saw the game range from | 10000 to 10000. In spite of the new rules the time consumed this year was | greater than last, owing, chiefly. to the examination of numerous injuries received by players. ! Wrightton’s collar-bone was broken: Hallowell was carried off the field dis abled, Murphy lay bleeding and in sensible on the ground the result of hard punch in the stomach; Brewer WAS hurt in the first half, but able to ! resume play though was subsequently retired by physicians order. There have been some rumors of serious consep erces, the most notable one being that Hinckey, of Yale, died of in | juries. This seemed improbable be- ! cause Hinckley was very much in evil ! dence at the close of the game. Game was called at 2 p. m. Yale went right in and secured a touch down and kicked goal in four minutes; score, Yale g. Harvard 0. Harvard got the ball on four downs and attempted to kick goal from the field, but missed, A little latei they repeated the performance, missing again, but shortly afterwards succeed ed in making a touchdown. Score, Yale 6, Harvard 4. Yale then scored touchdown and kicked goal Score, Yale II, Harvard 4. The second hal began with Harvard holding the ball which was soon in hot action. Murphy was hurt again and Chadwick took his place. The play resumed and it was nip and tuck back and forth across the field, Harwards interference being magnificent. ButterwOrth was relieved, with in juries to head and eye. Armstrong, of Yale was ruled off the field for slug ging, and Hayes, of Harvard, was ruled off for the same offense Then Hallowell was injured and Wheeler was substituted. From this point to the call of time. both sides struggled furiously, but neither succeeded in making either a goal or touchdown and the scores at the end of the first half, II to in Yale’s favor, remained the final score. The closing play was unique. Harvard got the ball and kicked a goal from the field, but al most while the ball was in mid-air and before it crossed the bar, the whistle blew which sounded the end of the game. The official scoring board announced “No goal” Harvard protested but the goal was not allowed glimmering Saturday afternoon upon the field of the Detroit Athletic club.
