10 YALE BEATS HARVARD. Continued from flnt pace. teen first downs by rushing, however, to seven for Harvard, which shows, as was clearly the case, that the Yah- attack was more concerted and better imstained. Both hides used the onside kick and forward pass to good advantage, but Yale profited more by the use these plays, not because they were more skilfully executed, but because Harvard men were not so quick to take advantage of the opportunities presented. Wendell, the Harvard halfback, played a more brilliant game than any other man on either team.

He was quick to pick out his openings, and was a hard man to stop, either in quick dashes around the ends or In sharp plunges between guard and tackle. He gained, perhaps, more than haif the ground credited to the Harvard if-am. Other Harvard men who shone were Mc- Donald at right end, whose tackling was hard and sure and oftentimes brilliant, and New-hall, the clever quarterback, who handled his with rare good Judgment, followed the ball like a hound and did his share in stopping many a Yale advsmce. Starr and Grant also played their parts weil. while every man of the team did one thing or another to attract attention, There, waa little or no Individual brilliancy among the Yale men, as was the case a week ago.

when Coy and Tad Jones stood out above Their but this, after all. was to the greater credit of the team as a team, and showed where Tale was strong. While the Harvard players Individually were earning the plaudits of the crowd the Tale men were earning a well deserved victory by making individual effort, pubuservient to concerted work as a team. Herein lies the difference between the winning and the losing of the annual football game between Tale and Harvard. THE GAME IN DETAIL.

Yalefs Victory Due to Ability to Make Most of Every Opportunity. 1 Telegraph to Tha Boston. Nov. uproar which greeted tie arrival of the opposing teams died away to a fateful hush as Burr carefully poised the ball In the centre of the field, while the rest of the Harvard players stood like hounds In leash ready to follow the ball In its flight down the field, which marked the opening of the great BtrusTEle. Yale had won the toss and elected to defend the north coal, with the wind to aid Coy in punting-.

The Yale line-up was the same as against Princeton, with one exception. Congdon waa still limping, and while he took his place on the field Dunbar was sent out at the minute before the ball was put in play. Burr sent the ball well down the field on a kick-off Into the waiting: arms of Tad Jones, who ran It back fifteen yards before Captain Parker laid him low. Coy punted on the first down for Tale, and ball went out of bounds on Harvard's 43-yard line. Then the teams lined ud and Harvard tested the Yale defence and found it so that Newhall got off a long, booming punt, which Coy fumbled.

McDonald, the speedy Harvard end. fell on It on Yale's 20-yard line, to the wildly expressed delight of the Harvard followers, whose side of the field quickly blossomed forth Into a bright crimson. Wendell and Apollonirt found the Yale defence a stone wall and could get only three yards apiece, so that Xewhall decided discretion was the better part of valor and called on hie captain for a goal from placement. The pass was poor and an instant of valuable time was wasted, so that Parker had to kick hurriedly to avoid the Yale forwards. who came breaking through.

The ball went I "iling up in the air and fell short. Into the arms of Coy. who was standing on his own five-yard line It had been an anxious moment for Yale men. who could hardly realize that dancer had threatened so early in the game. Coy dropped back behind his own goal post as if to punt, but it was no part of Jones's plan to give Harvard a chance for a fair catch in front Talk's goal, wherein he showed real football brains, so that Brides took the ball instead and, breaking through the Harvard line, ran thirty yards before Wendell laid him low with a well directed tackle.

This brilliant play took Harvard by surprise, and Brides and Bomar quickly added ten yards more to another first down by plunges through the centre. Coy added two more, but the Harvard defence stiffened up, so that Jones varied the attack by an onside kick, which a Harvard man fumbled, Alcott falling en the ball on the Crimson's 23-yard Una. Coy and Bomar could gain only two yards apiece, and as It was the third down, with six yards to go, Bomar was called on for a try at goal from placement. The ball came back from Dunbar straight and true, and Bomar had plenty of time to get tho kick-off, but it failed by several yards, and Harvard men breathed easier, as Yale men had a few moments before. Burr kicked out from his 26-yard line to "Tad" Jones, who ran the ball back twenty yards before Rand sent him sprawling with a flying tackle.

Jones went down so hard that he fumbled the ball, but one of the ever watchful Yale men was on hand to recover it. Yale started with an onside kick, but two Harvard men fumbled and Alcott fell on the ball for Yale on Harvard's 30-yard line. Apollonlo broke through and spilled Coy on the next play, but the light haired fullback tore off twelve yards right through the centre on his next try and added two more on a delayed pass. The umpire saw holding, however, and valuable ground was lost to Yale by a 16-yard penalty. Rushing was out of the question, bo that Jones made a forward pass.

It did not go five yards outside of centre, however, and was declared Illegal, and Yale went back fifteen yards more. On the next play Coy tried to run with the ball on a fake kick, but McDonald tackled him for a twenty-yard loss, to the loudly expressed delight of Crimson adherents. Yale had lost some fifteen yards in a vain effort to advance the ball, and there was nothing left to do but punt. Aided by the wind. Coy sent the tall far into Harvard territory.

Wendell caught It and ran It ijack fifteen yards, but fumbled as he was tackled, and once again it was a Yale an that fell on the ball, although two or three Harvard men made a wild divo for it. A short forward pass from Tad Jones to Howard Jones netted eight yards for Yale, but Harvard held firm on the next play and Coy punted to Newhall on Harvard's 15-yard line. The little quarterback quickly returned the punt, and McDonald threw Jones in his tracks In the middle of the field. The Harvard defence still strong for Yale to penetrate, and after Bomar and Brides managed to get not more than four yards between them Jones made a Ion? forward pass. Dasher recovering the ball for a twenty-yard gain.

It worked so well that Jonea tried It again, but this time it illegal, and Yale was penalized fifteen yards, bringing the ball back lose to the centre of the field. McDonald broke through and spoiled the next play, so that Coy punted to Wendell, who slipped back twenty yards before he was downed. Wendell then broke through for twelve yards, but it was all for nothing, as there waa holding in the line, was penalized fifteen yards. Two utter Wendell went calling around Tale's left end for twenty-five yards, but again a Harvard man maa guilty of holding, and part of tho precious distance was lost by a fifteen-yard penally. NVwh-ll then panted to Coy, who made a catch on his own 90-ymrd line.

McDonald, who was playing like a llend. hrnice WHAT TJL CAPTAINS SAID. Harvard had the best fighting team I ever played against. We are proud to win from them. I never played against a Harvard team that fought so hard right up to the end.

We lost more last Saturday than we could possibly get back in a week, and we were not surprised that Harvard came back so hard in this Captain Biglow, of Yale. It was the cleanest Yale game I ever played in. There was no talking between the players, no slugging and no jeering. I have a host of respect for the men I played against. My own team played a great game, and I am proud of Captain Parker, of Harvard.

through and tackled Jones for a 10-yard loss on the next play, ro that Coy punted. Wendell then sot the Harvard followers half crazy by dashing around right end for twenty yards on a delayed pass, but Rand and Apollonio could not duplicate the feat, so that Newhall punted to Coy. interfered with a fair catch and Harvard was penalized lifteen yards. After an exchange of punis the ball was Tale's In the centre of the field, and then came the play which made the first touchdown possible for the blue clad players. Tad Jones got off a well directed onside kick, which hlu brother was quick to recover on Harvard's 20 -yard line, and Yale was at last within striking distance of tho Crimson goal line.

Then It was the Yale coaches sent In Phllbin In Bomar's place, because of his ability as a line plunger, and he quickly proved their judgment good by tearing through Harvard's wing for nine yards, only to be stopped by Wendell. He got two more in the same place, putting the ball on Harvard's 8-yard line. The Harvard defence Stiffened In this time of greatest need, and Coy was stopped for three yards. The Yalo men ruse ir. their places and called wildly for a touchdown, while the Harvard followers sank their nails into the palms of their hands and begged their men to hold.

It was a desperate situation, and the Harvard team fought manfully and stopped Phllbin on the nt-xt play one yard from the coveted line. But Yale was not to be denied Coy was the man called on for the last desperate assault, and he hit the opposing line like a battering ram. There was a crunching and straining of bodies for a brief Instant, and then the mass fell, with Coy safely over. Yale had scored and the Yale men went fairly frantic in their joy. Bigelow kicked the goal and the score was 6 to 0.

The elevens changed sidea and Burr kicked off to Jones, who showed poor Judgment In trying to catch the ball behind his own goal line, only to fumble it. He recovered it, however, on his own 8-yard line and then runted out of bounds on the line. Wendell made a forward pass on the next play for Harvard and Starr recovered the ball on Yale's 20-yard line. With the time drawing short Buntried to kick a goal from placement, but the ball was blocked and Harvard hopes sank again. Newhall recovered the ball on Yale's line and made a long forward pass on the next play, but Jones caujjht the ball for Yale and ran It back twenty yards just as time was called for the end of the first half.

When the teams came on the field for tho second half Captain Parker of Harvard had retired in favor of Hoar. Blglow kicked off to Burr, but a Yale man was offside and the kick had to he made over again and flvo yards further back. Newhall caught the ball this time, but Dunbar stopped any advance by a deadly tackle on Harvard's 20-yard line. Anollonio hit the line fur two yards and then Wendell went flying around right end for another of his dashing runs, carrying the ball twenty-five yards to centre of the field. Newhall made an onside kick and Mc- Donald missed a chance for everlasting fame by Juggling the bail with practically a clear field, Jones falling on It for Yale.

Philhin broke through on the next play for a gain of twenty yards, and was only stopped by Starr. The Harvard defence then stiffened urand Coy punted to Newhall, who, after eluding the ends, got back some fifteen yards before Brides laid him low. Foster then took Paige's place at left tackle for Yale to bolster up the Yale defence. With the ball in the centre of the field. Wendell was called on, and not In vain.

he went rushing around Yale's left end for thirty yards before he was stopped. This run was made possible partly by holding, however, bo that Harvard was penalized fifteen yards! After Apollonlo failed to gain Newhall punted. Yale then started one of her inarches down the field, but it did not last long, and Jones tried an onside kick, which Rand recovered for Harvard on his 30-yard line. Then Newhail tried an oneide kick, which Rand recovered for Harvard men trying in vain to recover the bail Howard Jones fell on it for Yale about the centre of the field. A double pass from Phllbin to Jones netted twelve yards for Yale, and quick as a flash Philbta tore through for eight and Coy for four more.

A forward pans and seme hard line bucking by Brides and Philbin carried the ball well into Harvard territory, ami came another forward pass, which should have been easily recovered by Harvard. But again, and for about the tenth time. Harvard (ailed to grasp an opportunity, and It proved fatal, as Brides fell on the ball for Yale on Harvard's 12-yard line. As In the first half. Yale, resorted to hard line bucking, with an old-fashioned tandem forma tlon.

and while Harvard foupht desperately and I held for two downs, Coy finally went over for the touchdown, which made virtory doubly wire. Biglow kicked the goal, and the score was 12 to O. and so it stood. The Harvard coaches sent Lockwood in at this point to replace Rand, and the fight waged up I and down the field, with Yale on the defensive most of the time. A number of substitutes were made to strengthen what the coaches thought were weak points.

Brown went in for Starr and Inches took Fisher's place, for liar yard. while Wheaton went in for PhilMn as Yale's r'ght halfback. After some ineffectual rushes by both sides and an exchange of two punts it was Harvard's ball at about the centre of the field, and with only five or six minute 3 left to play It seemed that, the game was practically over. Suddenly, however, the Harvard assault seemed to gain strength, and after Apollonio had through the centre for twelve yards Wendell broke through Yale's left wins, shook himself free and ran thirty yards before Jones stopped him with a flying tackle on Yale's 7-yard line. Then came Yale's wonderful defensive rally and Harvard's desperate but fruitless assault.

The coaches saw the need and sent Dines In for Jones and Wrlle for Coy. Fresh Strength- wa.s needed, and fresh strength was furnished when most required. Lockwood and Wendell went plunging into tho opposing iine, and it seemed a-i if a touchdown must result, but Yale held firm even on her 1-yard line, and Harvard had to relinquish the bull on downs. Harvard's last hope was dead and Yale was celebrating, as before Yale could make more effort to carry the ball out of danger the end hed come. WILA.T THE CCACHE3 SAID.

Harvard played a great game. I knew they would, and told my men to prepare for a hard fight. We got it, and were glad to Knox. Yale's head coach. The men did themselves proud.

There were a few decisions at the end of the game which came hard for us. I am perfectly satisfied with the team. Crane, Harvard's bead coach. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1007.

T'l'Kraph to The Tribune. 1 Boston. Nov. Boston wax fairly overrun to-day by a gay crowd which did little else than think football and talk football. Of course Boston was.

figuratively up semiring, deserted while the vast throng was out at Cambridge, feasting on football, but this morning and again thia evening the streets were swamped and the city given over and was completely In the of the spirit of greatest Intercollegiate sports. The shop windows were appropriately dressed for the occasion with the crimson Harvard and the blue of Yale, and hardly a man or woman was seen who did not openly declare in favor of one team or the other by a knot streamer of ribbon or a gorgeous display of carnations, chrysanthemums or violets. The enthusiasts who like to come early and stay began arriving here ago. The principal hotels were crowded to the. doors last night, and sleeping accommodations were as hard to find as tho proverbial needle In haystack.

One was lucky to-day to anything to eat, and some went hungry to the game, only to forget it when the ball wan once in play. Early this morning the trains from New York and towns and cities between unloaded thousands who, appreciating the conditions or for lack of time, waited till tho last minute to Invade the city. Most of these grot out as quickly ns possible this evening, well content with the day's hport- Ix)ng before noon the tide began to Bow toward Cambridge, and the wonder Is that almost everybody got to the stadium In time. It took hundreds and hundreds of trolley cars and scores and scores of automobiles to get the crowd to the game, to say nothing of carriages, cabs and even wagons, which had to bo pressed Into pervice. Cambridge is still blessed with a little narrow bridge over the shaky planks of which the thousands had to walk to roach Soldiers' Field, across the Charles River.

Automobiles and vehicles could not approach nearer th a quarter of a of the stadium, and no everybody had to gel out and walk. Boylaton street to tho bridge and North Harvard street beyond were choked with persona two hours before game, and that no accident happened was moru good luck than good management For the last few years the city governments of Boston and Cambridge have been talking building a new bridge at this point, but nothing las been done. This year, however, owing to incessant demands, stout fences were built on the Bid of the bridge to do away with the Jogs and sharp corners, and as an additional precaution buoy; at lighters were anchored under the bridge to help it sustain the unusual demands on its strength. Many breathed a sigh of. relief when this Scylla and Charybdia to the field was safely passed.

Tickets could nut be had at any price half at; hour before the game. In spite of every effort to tho contrary, a few got Into the hands of speculators, but these had been snapped up at almost fabulous prices. Even In these depressing financial times, money was no object to some who wanted to see the game. One man gladly paid $60 for two seats in the middle of the stands, and there was a ready sate for seats anywhere at $10 apiece. An unfortunate few bought ticket only to be turned away from tho gates disconsolate, when advised that they were poor Imitations of the real pasteboard.

By 2 o'clock practically every seal In the huge amphitheatre was filled and the crowd only waited, with what patience it could command, for the teams to appear and the strife to begin. It did rim have to wait long and In the mean time was entertained by cheering and of the rival camps, which, by the way, was quite as much of a feature as usual when Yale meets Harvard at football. Just before 2 o'clock the Yale players and substitutes came running out on the chalk marked field. This was a signal for the Yale undergraduates to break loose with a wild and spontaneous cheer, that even the leather lunged cheer leaders could not or did not attempt to control until the moment of pent up enthusiasm had abated. Tho west side of the field was a mass of crimson and the noise filled every nook and crevice of the vast recesses of the stadium.

The Harvard section had its chance minute or two later to cheer the rod dad warriors, as they trotted out on the Held and ran through a few formations to limber up. Suddenly no blue could be seen, but instead the crimson was flaunted on all skies. The din began afresh. The Yale team got a reception that was quit'- as How Yale and Harvard Took the Field.

Time of uiinuteA. enthusiastic If slightly less noisy than that given to the Harvard eleven. Then the crowd settled down and the rival camps exchanged more courtesies and sang more songs. The Harvard undergraduates, led by their self-sacrificing cheer leaders with crimson megaphones, cheered Yale, and tho Yale undergraduates, with equal spirit and good feeling, cheered Harvard. It was like two boxers shaking hands before settling down to fairly eat.

each other up. While all this was going on the officials and captains held their brief conference In the centre of the field to discuss tho final details and the coin fop tho choice of goal. A minute later the hill went Failing down the field, and the game was on. TICKET SELLERS CAUGHT. Many Buyers of Wrongly Sold Seats Ejected from Stadium.

Boston, Nov. Henry H. Thompson, the Harvard graduate manager, to-night Issued a statement speculation In tickets for the Yale- Harvard came. The statement in part la as follows: "ThroUsTbOUt this season wo. striven to prevent.

In all we secured the names of probably one hundred and fifty such students. "That Yale os-operated with us nobly in our work may be shown by Just one fact. When the tickets were first issued the Yale authorities learned that speculators had made a close canvass of three, of the schools connected with the New Haven university. Tiny had purchased hundreds of application blanks from the students in those schools, all signed and out. They were then presented by the speculators In tho hopo that the tickets would all forwarded to them at various addresses given.

23. Sweeping the University of Chicago down to a gruelling defeat by a score of 18 to 4. the Carlisle Indians brought to a splendid and triumphant conclusion to-day the hardest schedule in all probability ever undertaken by a football team. In five weeks the Indians have met and defeated Pennsylvania, Harvard. Minnesota and Chicago, and were defeated on a day when the elements themselves helped Princeton to win the only victory registered against the red men this season.

It Is a record that Glen Warner and his braves may well be proud of, and the Indians are a sore but happy lot of players to-night. Carlisle clearly had tho better team to-day, but much of the credit for the victory belongs to the marvellous skill of Hauser as a kicker of goals from placement. No less than three times did his unerring toe send the ball over from behind the line of scrimmage, with the Chicago forwards straining to break through the Indian line and reach the player who was driving them further and further from all hope of victory, and twelve of the eighteen points the Indians scored were credited to the sturdy fullback. In addition to his fine work In kicking goals. Hauser was the main reliance of tho Indians in gaining ground, and time and again, with perfect Interference, he circled the Chicago ends for big gains.

Twenty-seven thousand persons at least were on hand to see the game. Chicago, champion of the conference colleges, hoped to check the Indians after the close game with Minnesota a week ago. The Maroon had no trouble In beating Minnesota, and it was hoped that the Midway team would be able, by beating a team that had beaten Pennsylvania, to retrieve some of the. laurels lost to the West a week ago by the Quaker victory over Michigan. But it was not to be.

From start to finish Chicago waa outplayed. Her forwards were outclassed, her ends were boxed time and again by Gardner and Exendine. and her backs, speedy and alert as they were, did not compare with the brilliant and dashing Indians in any department of the game. Steffen. quarterback for the Chicago eleven, alone, saved his team from a coat of whitewash by kicking a fine goal from the field.

Chicago won the toss and chose the north goal, with the benefit of a slight wind. Nevertheless, Hauser kicked over the goal line and Chicago kicked out from the 25-yard line. Carlisle failed on a line play, and on the next play a forward pass missed fire. Gardner was badly hurt in this play, but he kept on playing. Then the Indiana lost ten yards for holding, and things looked bad.

Hauser punted and Steffen, after he had poked a couple of plays at the unyielding Indian tackles, punted fifty yards. Hauser took the ball and came back forty-five yards in pretty fashion. A slip up in the forward pass gave Chicago the ball, and the home rooters had their first real chance when Detray slipped past Lubo and Mooted twenty yards down the field before Island, who was playing for the injured Mount Pleasant, nailed him. But that stopped the Chicago spurt, and Steffens and Hauser fell to a king match. Balentl was in for Island, and the new quarterback began to hurl Hauser at the Maroon line.

Smashing plays took the ball to the 110-yard line, but Chicago held in vain, for Hauser was called back and kicked a goal from placement, Gardner holding the balL After the kick-off the kicking duel was resumed, but Payne caught one of Steffens's long spirals and rushed back to the Chicago 37-yard line. A forward pass failed and Hauser punted to the 15-yard line. Steffena tried to kick, but the Indian tackles were through, and Wauseka fell on the ball. Chicago held and Hauser kicked a second goal, making the score 0. Chicago kicked off.

and Carlisle lost the ball and fifteen yards. A forward pass gave the Maroon rooters hope, but the Indian line braced under the shadow of the goal posts and Steffens failed In a drop kick, as did Hauser at the other end of the field Just before the half ended. After the kick-off in the second half a forward pass gained well for Chicago, but Aiken blocked a punt in mldfield and the Indians rushed the ball in five to the. l.Vyard line, where Hauser Just missed a goal. Steffens kicked out and came back thirty yards.

Chicago held for downs and Steffons punted. Then came a pretty trick, like the one by which Yale beat Princeton. Hauser stood ready to try for a goal from placement. Instead, however. he tossed the ball to Exendlne, who made the only touchdown of the game.

Hauser kicking goal. Chicago kicked oft. and the Indians rushed the ball straight down the field, until the Maroon line stiffened and Hauser fell back and kicked a third goal from placement, making the score O. Then, with the game hopelessly lost, Chicago braced, and Steffens, getting within striking distance, lifted the ball over for his team's only score. The line-up and summary follow: Chicago (4).

VflW YORK BEATS U.VtOS ItOCGIIXKSS MARKS CAME. Sensational Rally by Upstate Team Scares Local Supporters. New York University defeated Union yester. day at Ohio Field by a score of IS to 7, after one of the most desperate gridiron battles ever setn in Xt York. After facing an adverse score of 12 to 0 in first half the Schenectady rallied magnificently, and had all better of the play in the second half until the last few minutes of the game, when New York, after three times staving off what looked like an Inevitable touchdown, began to tear great holes in the Union line, the game ending with the ball In New York's possession, well down In Union territory.

The game was hard fought, and a good deal of rough work on both sides marred the sport somewhat. One man on each eleven was disqualified, and the resultant penalty of half distance to the goal line nearly cost New York the game. Union was more fortunate when penalty affected her. for the ball was in Once on an tncompleted forward pass, on a fine rally that took the ball on downs and once on a fumble New York staved off a score in the last ten minutes of the game, after a puzzling wing shift and a well executed forward pass had given Union five points. Two points were added to the Union total after New York had held for downs on the 8-yard line, for Newli.ss attempt to kick out of danger was blocked, and in the scramble Brown, the York centre, fell on the ball for a safety.

After this score Union brought the ball back to the 10-yard line by knifing plays which went off tackle on a shift formation and two pretty forward passes. The bucket went too often to the well, and a third forward pass was prettily intercepted by a New York back. kick was again partly blocked, but the ball rolled down the field to the 40-yard line. With three minutes left to play the Union backs tore through for a first down. Another followed on a forward pass, and still another, but with the ball on the 10-yard line the fatal fumble came and the New York sections of the stands were in uproar as the Violet took ball.

Half a dozen plays, with fresh men in the backfleld. took the ball well down past the centre of the field, and the game ended with New York again outplaying the upstate team. New York had all the better of the first halt McNab kicked off for Union, and an exchange of punts after the kick off put the ball in mldfleld. Then New York turned loose a variety of line smashing formations against which the heavier Union forwards seemed to be helpless, and first down after first down came in one or two plays. On the 15- yard line Union braced and held twice, but on the third down Newins shot a pretty forward pass to CJ.

Younar. went the line on the play. Newins kicked the goal, and the score stood 6 to 0. After the score New York kicked off. and Potter punted at onoe.

The New York back 3 again began to tear great holes through the Union line. Mowen, Dougherty and H. Brown alternating in smashing plays that were good for from flvo to ten yards of gain. G. Young made fifteen yards on a forward pass, but the play failed a moment later, and Union took the ball on the 30 -yard line, whence Potter at once punted.

The march to a touchdown began again, and this time continued until New York had the ball on Union's 15-yard line, where another Corward pass was caught by a Union player. Potter kicked again, and New York lost fifteen yards on an incompleted forward pass a moment Then followed an exchange of punts, and New York again began to plough up the Union line from the middle of the field. After a first down had been made. Union held and with five yards to grain on the third down Newins hesitated before railing on H. Brown to carry ball In a mass play off tackle.

His judgment was right, however, and tho play produced the sensational incident of the Ths players were piled up in a heap, with Brown underneath, as it seemed, and the Union supporters went wild because thef thought the ball had won on downs. Suddenly, however, the New Yorker shot out from heap and was oft down the field, running nearly fifty yards to a touchdown. Newins kicked the goal again, and the half ended a few minutes later with the ball in Unions possession on New York's 26-yard line The story of most of the second half has already been told. Union, outweighing the men, wore down their defence at first and succeeded In working the ball down to a touchdown coon after the kick off. The moot effective formation the upstaters had was a -vlng shift, from which either a quarterback run or a loasj forward pass could be made.

The long pas ilar to that used by Yale, in a yard gain, which put the ball on the 5-yard line, whence Streibert was masked ever for Union's only touchdown.

Union lost half the Mmtl goal line and New York held for downs. Three plays pained a first down, a kick followed, and then Homer Brown, the New York ft halfback, was also ruled off the field. Rust t.ikiruj his BSBCS penalty put Union within striking distance, and after that the battle was Hew York territory until the last moments of the game, as alrea ly told.
