  BLUES ARE WINNERS, Harvard Meets Defeat at the Hands Of Yale’s Brawny Men. CRIMSONS HAVE HARD LUCK. Game Was a Bloody One and Many Are the In jured. CRIMSONS HAVE HARD LUCK. SURPRISE FOR CORNELL Wolverines do Them up by a Score Of IL to 4. | SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 4.-After each Harvard Yale football game for twenty years now the writer’s of news history have been obliged to open the annual record of this encounter with the trite statement that “Yaie again defeats Harvard” This, to be sure. is not literally the fact. because Harvard has, since 1875, when the record began, | wrenched two victories from the New | Haven men. | And yet, though again defeated to- day. CALCULATIONS of hopeless disgust over Haryard’s performances are not altogether fair. Harvard. though beaten today. played good football against fates that might well nigh be seen in the air. A Yale partisan. hoarse with his yelling for the Blues. this evening praised the feel ing which widely prevailed among 1 spectators: “If | never before believed in Yale luck” said the Yale man, II ! believe in 1t now. l assure you that I while Yale had the better team, Har- ward played the better football, If any. body can understand what L mean by that” As the morning grew the air softened ! and mellOwed In the sunlight until the lads with long hair and longing to see the game walled that the heat would be lnsufferable to those who should fight III | the gridirOD battle. The twenty-five | men came over the fence at the far | north corners, and Thousand people | and more to each man, shouted and | screamed at the sight of them. The | seating capacity of the stands of Hampton Park is 23,S43 persons. Estimates | OF the number of persons who saw the | game range from 2500O to 10000. | Finally, at O’Clock. the men lined up. Harvard–Cabot, left end; Hallowell, 4eft-tackle; Maekie left guard; y. Shaw. center; q. Shaw, right guard; Waters. right tackle; A. Brewer, right end; Wrenn. quarter back. Wrightington. left half back; c. Brewer, right half back; Fairchild, full back. Yale-T. Hinckey, right end: Murphy, right tackle; Hickok, right guard; l.. Stillman. center; McCrea, left guard; Beard, left tackle; Hinckey, left end; Adee, quarter back; Jerrems, left half back; Thorne, right half back; Butter worth, full back. Yale secured touchdown within five minutes from the time the ball was placed in motion. This was solely ow- Ing to fluke, but a goal was obtained nevertheless. This fred the crimson boys, and they played an almost irresistible game. The ball was immediately taken into Yale territory. The blues played sturdily, but the rush line Of Harvard could not be stopped. They broke through the defense, and had the ball over half home after the game started. The punt out was muffed, and the game stood: Yale, 6; Harvard, 4, Brewer had been compelled to retire from the game, and a few minutes thereafter Wrightington was hurt. He also left the game. Yale supporters were greatly exuberated. and the ‘‘blue” faunted high. But the representatives of old Har ward continued to put up great game. 1t was now nip and tuck between the two teams. Fixing the B Bruises. There was another three.minute DELAY while McCrea had his foot attended to. Butterworth tried Harvard’s right, but failed to gain more than yard. Waters proving an effective stop. Then Thorne was tried for the center. but also failed to gain. On the next play Hayes broke through and stopped Adee on third down. Butterworth then punted to rd1 ard the ball. Hayes was sent through the center for five yards, and Whittemore gained hve more. Fairchild went through for two yards. Yale’s center was getting hard usage from the lighter Harvard men, and frequent stops had to be made to allow the men to recover, The substitute halfs for Harvard were doing remarkable work, frequently breaking through the heaviest part of Yals’s line. The ball was Harvard’s on their own fiye-yard line, and Fairchild punted for fifty yards. Hallowell and A. Brewer broke through and prevented Yale from bringing it back. The ball was brought out to Yale’s twenty-five yard line. Frank Hinckey kicked 1t to Yale’s forty five-yard line, and Harvard captured 1t. Hayes tried Yale’s right and gained five yards. Time was called, with the ball on Yals’s thirty-6ve-yard line. Score: Yale IL, Harvard 4. The second half began, Harvard hold ing the ball. Wa ters kicked low ball to Yale’s fifteen-yard line, which l.. Hinckey caught and brough ht back to the thirty-yard line. Then it was sent back to Butterworth. who kicked to Harvard’s thirty-fve-yard line, Yale breaking through and preventing Fair child from bringing the ball back more than few yards. Murphy was hurt again and the game had to be suspended, Chadwick finally taking his place, with the ball on Harwards thirty-five-vard line. White mOre was pushed through Yale’s center for fifteen yards, and Hayes was pushed through the right for five yards more, amid great enthusiasm. Magnificent Play. Whittemore again went through the center for five yards. taking the ball to Yale’s ten-yard line. Hayes was pushed through Yale’s center for five yards. and the ball was on Yale’s’ 25yard line. On the third down Harvard
