wave triumphantly over the city to night the signal of an other magnificent lctory of her team over her rival Harvard the final score being 6 to 0 The Crimson went down to defeat in a desperate battle which In football strategy and spectacular plays haa had few equals since the two universities have met To Yale passed the almost undisputed tltleof the college championship of the country clouded only by the drawn no 6core contest at Princeton a week ago A victory for the Crimson would have meant first honora for she had beaten the Carlisle Indians who last week won from Minnesota and who also defeated the University of Pennsylvania the conquerors of the University of Michigan For this reason if for no other the game on Yale field was of unprecedented lm portance and to Yale once more has come a victory which will live forever In her athletic history It was a victory won throujfh greater football knowledge superior team play almost unerring accuracy in developing the possibilities of the new rules and the magnificent work of individual players Score Same as Last Year The score of a single touchdown and goal repeats that of last year on Soldiers Field and it adds to Yales string of rio tories only twice broken since 1897 Harvard proved a foeman worthy of Yale Her men repeatedly shone conspicuous and the flashes of brilliancy in Individual plays as time and again her backs broke through the line of blue or her stalwart guard Burr sent the ball twisting through the air for long gains seemed to be entitled to a reward Harvard was a trifle slow In executing her plays which as last year seemed to hinge on her great strength of defense while Yale was quick on everything Her men were extremely active Yale success lay in playing offensively at every opportunity driving her plays hard and taking advantage of every opening when her opponents had the balk Not once did a Yale man have to run down the field without assistance As tne game was nearing Its close Yale played faster and rolled the Crimson line Into a heap time and again It was only Harvard stubborn contest of every inch of her own ground that kept the score at the singly figures Yales Sensational Play The touchdown was brought about by a sensational play Yale had tne tall on Harvard 25 yard line Jones called his signals for a kicking formation Vee der dropped to the 34 yard line with his hands outspread A perfect pass from Hockenberger sent the ball into his hands and Veeder like a flash started at right angles and hurled the ball over Vh heads of Harvard men for a 30 yard pass vnere several Yale men as tnough drawn by a magnet had tamped Into one little knot Up from their midst leaped Forbes who caught the ball and In an Instant placed it down on the 4 yard line Then rose the Yale hosts with cries for a toucadown while the Crimson side was hushed Roome who had replaced Knox was sent to smash the Crimspn line His first try gave 2 yards and the next time he was shot over with the whole team dragging and pushing him That four yards showed what Yale could do when she was hungry for the score which was so close at hand The kicking of a goal was an easy thing for Veeder Anxious Moments for Blue There were several anxious moment for the Yale men for while Harvard never had possession of the ball inside of the 25 yard line twice Yale was lined up with the ball In the shadow of her goal posts and In each case to remove the danger and to get distance Veeder dropped behind the goal line and punted In both these instances Harvard by means of the onslde kick sent the ball to Yale at about Yales 20 yard line The first time Yale was penalized for holding and it was her ball on the 3 yard line A few minutes later another penalty Inflicted for the same offense gave her the ball on her 4 yard line Each time a kick was resorted to after the Crimson line held fltm In the early part of the game Newhall tried a drop kick but it was blocked and Ih Kll compelled to change her style ot attack and Burr was called upon to pnt the ball cut of danger with his toe Second Half The first part of the second half resolved Itself Into a punting duel between Burr and Veeder From then on the outcome seemed certain Yale with new piayers put fresh life into her team and in the last five minutes of the half there was a march down the field This began with Fosters fumble which Fdrbes took advantage of From then on It was i case of smashing into the Harvard line until Park replaced by Fraser showed that Tale had found the weak place Rush after rush swept the Harvard team back foot by foot until the ball rested on her 15 yard line Yale was moving like a battering ram and another touchdown apparently was prevented by the referee whistle ending the game Great Crowd Present The game was attended by all the Interesting Incidents which have become a part of It The gridiron was framed with a mass of humanity of which three sides were blue and the other crimson The cheering and singing while good fell far short of that in previous years explainable by the fact that the game was played so fast that spectators did not have time to pay much attention to the cheer leaders Not a seat was vacant and at the gate a few stray tickets brought phe ndmenal prices one pair changing hands at 350 The game opened under gray skies and was concluded In radiant sunshine and under a canopy of blue The Harvard stands at the opening cheered Yale and Capt Morse and the opposite side returned In full measure this compliment At the close of the game the remarkable scene was witnessed of the jubi lant Yale host standing bareheaded for fifteen minutes in front of the Harvard stand alternately cheering and singing to the crimson and the latter In turn responding in a tike manner Yale has always cheered Harvard but never be fore has she turrVed It Into an ovation an Incident which will temper the harsh feeling which seemed to have been aroused Ey reports of acrimony in the selection of the game officials Flay Given in Detail The Yale team forced Its way through the crowd to the northeast entrance and came on the field at 155 The team Immediately went out for signal practice during which Veeder and Roome did some punting The reception of the team was a magnificent one as the stands were crowded It looked then as if nearly everybody would be settled in their seats within Ave minutes The Harvard team headed by Capt Foster crossed the field at exactly oclock and the entire side of the stands rose as one man and from a mighty cheer broke into a song In the signal practice of Yale Jones replaced Alcott which seemed to Indicate a change In the last minute The Harvard team took only a minutes practice but Burr practiced field punts Capt Morse crossed the field with Mr Edwards and shook hands with Capt Foster The coin was ImmedAtely tossed Capt Morse won the toss and chose the north goal giving him a sight advantage of the breeze The whistle was blown at 2 07 and the teams took the field Knox and Howard Jones were in Yales line up Roome and Alcott were out Burr kicked to Veeder at Yalev7 jard line It was carried back to the 28 yard line where the first attempt at the line was stopped Veeder attempted to punt which was blocked and McDonald got the ball on Yales 45 yard line Forward Pass for 20 Yards On a take play through the line Starr got the ball on a forward pass and made twenty yards around Forbes end A play through right tackle Lincoln carrying It gave five yards Then Wendall made three more the ball being nearly in front of the goal posts Newell dropped back for a try at goal but It was blocked the ball bounding along the ground to Yales 45 yard line Forbes being down on It at that point Yale tried the crimson line but failed to gain the ball went back to Tad Jonea for an end run but he was nailed for a loss Tiale lost 15 yards for off side piay Veeder punted to Harvards 48 yard line but Newhall made no gain on the run back On a triple pass Lincoln put the ball on his own 50 yard line Four yards more came by playing through right tackle but Yale smothered the next play Lincoln as off side and five yards penalty was given to Harvard Lincoln made four yards Inside of left end Burr punted to Yales 35 yard line and the Harvard ends were under it and got the ball because of a fumble but the ref eree called the teams back and inflicted 15 yards on Harvard for holding Veeders Punting Helped Burr on bis own 20 yard line punted to YaieS 45 yard line but Tad JonesJnstedd of throwing off half a dozen could not gain more than two yards Knox twice was called upon to carry the ball but the Harvard men nailed him with only a yard gain each time Veeder from his own yard line punted to behind Harvard goal line Burr brought the ball into the 20 yard line Howard Jones retired and Aicott took his place Both teams had conferences and both officials came to the side line writh the book of rules The point at issue was not clear Burr kicked Into Yales 40 yard line where Knox made a spectacular run to Harvard 20 yard line Yale then drove the ball plumb tnrough Harvards right guard for 4 yards and then two more getting the ball almost In front of tfie goal post on the 11 yard line One yard was necessary and Yale made It for first down Second down gave them 1 yard but Harvard smothered the next line play The ball was given a forward pass to Alcott who was on Harvards 4 yard line He fumbled and McDonald got It Burr i punted to his own 30 yard line where Then missed It Knox recovering It Veeder dropped back for a kick but in stead ran with It and passed It over the end to Harvards Id yard line wendall got It In the general mix up Wendall was shot through the line on the next play and carried several men on his back to

double pass gave Knox a chance for a onslde kick and the ball went to Harvards 20 yard line and in a general mix up Yale got the ball Tod Jones made a sensational run the breadth of the field twisting

In Chicago and was brought to Cincinnati by Sergt Durfy of Chicago The warrant charges Nolan with embezzling 38000 from Tex Richard raanagsr of the Goldfleld Nov Athletic Club where the Gans Nelson fight was held Banker ridden by Jockey Miner yesterday repeated his victory of Use year by winning the Bennlng Special tn a hard drive from Cederstrome His chance was not considered very rosy for he was permitted to go to th post with 12 to 1 freely offered about him The race was won after a long stretch drive between Banker and Cederstrome 40 to shot and the Belvldere colt was just up In time to win by a nose After the race Doyle who had the mount on Cederstrome lodged a claim Of foul but It was not allowed Later In the day there was a disqualification resulting from a stretch duel between Oxford with Miller up and Pretension ridden by Shilling Oxford won the race and on the complaint of Miller Pretension was disqualified from th place and Shilling set down for th meeting It was a big Saturday crowd that attended the races and It was a merry crowd from first to last for Walter Miller the clever little Jockey scored In all five races In which he rode Th holiday crowds have been strong for Miller all season and yesterday was no exception to that rule When he brought Emperor of India home first In the closing race It marked his twenty first winning mount of th Bennlng season This Is a remarkable record when it Is remembered that there have only been forty two flat races and that there were several run In which ha had no mount I Millers Remarkable Wins In aU Miller haa ridden 344 winners this season which already establishes a record In America With a week still coming at Bennlng It is a sure thing that the little fellow wfil swell this record considerably and when he goes to San Francisco to take up his duties for Tom Williams out tnere he should close to the 400 mark by th end of the year Banker winner ot th Special has been such a disappointment this season that Al Stokes for whom ha raced some tittle time ago gave him to John Moran and at the time most horsemen would I hardly have accepted suca a gift Stokes ginned his faith to Nemesis In the Spe cial but Moran felt confident that th gift horse would win and and his friends profited handsomely at th long price The colt showed more speed than he oas displayed at any time during tfie season and racing second to Cederstrome most of the way he came along gamely In the stretch and was Just up la time to win th last stride At the head of th stretoh Cederstrom carried the winner out sharply and there was repeated bumping all the way home Doyle who had the mount on Cederstrome made a claim of foul but It was ruled that he was the chief offender and the claim was not allowed Nemesis and Dainty Beaten Nemesis showed flash of speed In th running but never was a serious eon tender and was beaten off at the finish ualnty one that had some following ran a very creditable race but third was the best she could do at the flnisn The race that cost Shilling his suspension caused almost as much Of a sn satlon as did the running of th Special Only four went to the post and Oxford was always an odds on choice Ormondes lght closed at 4 to 1 Pretension at 5 and oladay was never considered as having a chance 100 to being th offerlng ist him Pretension opened up a big gap early and it was not until th head of th stretch that Oxford caught him Coming around the last corner th gray horn wss lapped on Pretension when th latter seemed to bear out and carry Oxford toward the outside rail During th bumping that cam wlta this move Shilling it is claimed caught the bridle of the gray horse and Miller could only free his mount by a liberal us of the whip on th other rider After th race Miller mad his complaint of the occurrence and after a short delay Pretension was disqualified and Shilling disciplined Notter Loses Chance When Oxford and Pretension went wide In the stretch Notter lost a royal opportunity to bring Ormondes Bight home the winner He was within striking distance at the time and had com on the Inside the distance saved should hav made him winner Instead of steering that
