YALE'S FOOTBALL TRIUMPH ontlaued from first pac they were not cheered, and maybe they didn't deserve It. Tt li? true that Tale's goal was never In any such desperate danger, but for all that Harvard had the ball quite her share of the time, and both teams were frequently heid for downs in the progress of the match. To sum up. each eleven seemed to be able to make several marches of thirty-five to forty yards the other, only Harvard was unlucky enough never to be able to begin one of those marches within forty yards of the Taie goal. There were incidents enough and to spare.

Excitement simply begemmed the match from whistle to whistle, and the thousands were on their feet half the time, simply lifted there by the enthusiasm of the moment. Aside from the whirlwind of uproar which, as a matter of course, was employed to things moving In orthodox fashion, the first demonstration came from the Harvard skyscraping benches, when, w'thin a few minutes after play began. a series of pood gains through Tale's line notice on the multitude that the team that wore the Crimson was no set of weaklings. The Harvard contingent came to the stadium. nine out of ten of them, certain in their heart of hearts that they were in for an exemplary, thor? ough drubbing.

When Harvard first dn play of strength came they began to sit up and take notice. In a few minutes more they were roar? ing with delight. A few moments later still they began to hope actually for victory, and the warriors down there below in the yellow brown arena flattered them to the very finish of BM hard fought a match as was ever ham? mered out in view of a football crowd. HARVARD BEST INDIVTDtTALLY. The plain truth of it is that Harvard exhib? ited players that were individually the superiors of Yale.

They did not know the game so well and were r.ot welded into as fine a machine, but, take them man for man. they were superior to the men QMOT had to meet. Yale had no such ground gainers as Squires and Brill both proved themselves to be. Each one of these big tackles waded yard after yard through the Yale line. Brill, in particular, was Harvard's best ground gainer.

The way in which he bent his shoul? ders and strode through the opposition with half the Yale team hanging on his back in a vain effort to drag him to earth reminded one of Hogan in his palmiest days. Certainly no tackle ground gaining has been seen on any gridiron this season. One single tvpe of play helped Harvard gain many a valuable yard. This was the fake tan? dem. It is not a new play.

Harvard has used It before this season, and so- have other teams. But it worked like a charm to-day. It was usually the towheaded giant Squires who fell back if to head a crashing tandem drive through the centre. This he did. with the single rather important exception that the ball was not carried in the tandem at all.

The tandem went through the all right, but the bal! went round the end in tha hands of one of the halfbacks. Foster usually. Harvard set off this particular brand of firecracker early in the game, and it went with a whoop from the start. Kot until the second half was well on its way did Yale appear to master it so well that she was not to be deceived by it further. In another particular did Harvard sur prise her warmest admirers, namely, in her handling of the ball.

With the single calamitous exception of that disastrous muffed punt, the Crimson's handling of the "lusive pigskin was welinigh perfect. Occasionally there was a pass from Parker to Burr for a punt, but the kicker always recovered himself admirably, and never was the punt blocked, though, forsooth, there were one or two occasions when it came perilously near being. To Harvard's big left guard, by the way, should go a lot of credit for his booting of the ball. He got off kicks that were always respectable, gained many precious yards by outpunting Roome. and never once got rattled, though he had several excuses for losing his head had he been so disposed.

TWO IXriDEXTS. In the main, the game was cleanly played, and there seemed to be the best of personal feeling the two teams, though both fought as fiercely as they fight who have determined to give the last ounce of power that In them lies. There were, however, two unpieasant incidents. One occurred in the second half, when Wendell and Morse emerged from a scrimmage more or less entangled. From the Olympian heights of the presa benches (where the air was extremely it looked as if "Wendell were decidedly more to blame than Morse, but Dashiel, the umpire, took sides with the Harvard man and ruled Morse out of the game, Hoyt taking his place.

Tt could hardly he called slugging, though It probably came under the head of unneces? sarily rough play. The other Instance was plainly nothing but an accident, though hundreds of spectators on Harvard side of the field were unduly irnlck to hies The ball was well down in Yale territory In the middle of the first half when Roome punted. The ball fell Into Burr's hands ot Tale's 40-yard line. Quill, the old Amherst player, whom Yale had unexpectedly sent In to play fullback in place of Flinn, the little chap wormed his way for so many yards through Princeton's line, dashed fiercely on the Harvard guard, who, as he caught the ball, fell back? ward face up. QuUJ's speed carried him clear the fallen player, and as he passed the Tal? man's heavy shoe hit the a severe rap on the head.

Burr was some minutes in the of a trainer before he could get into the again. MONSTER CROWD SEES GAME. It was splendid crowd that came out to see Harvard's splendid defeat. There were more persons present than two years ago, because there were more seats for them, additional tem? porary stands having been erected at the north or end of the huge horseshoe All told there were forty-three thousand seats in the stadium, and forty-three thousand persons occupied them. to be no limit to the public's appe? tite for football.

No such outpouring ever occu? pied seats at an athletic contest in this country as saw to-day's match. In fact. It is safe to say that the multitude was the largest that ever occupied seats at a spectacle of whatsoever aort in this or any other country In modern It is true that the Colosseum at Rome is said to have held persons, but not all of them had seats, and anyhow that was a long time ago. It is interesting to note that this record-break? ing outpouring took place In Cambridge, where Is published "The Harvard Bulletin," which de? clared editorially not long since that football was really a dull Several of the editors of 'The Harvard Builetin" were present at the and none of them went to sleep. At "east one of them lost his voice somehow in the ourw of the afternoon.

Of course, it couldn't bave been from cheering. Boston was given over to football twenty-four hours ago, and is still the grasp of the foot? ball spirit. Crowds began to arrive for the game last night. Out in Cambridge there was a monster undergraduate procession on the eve of the great match. Here in Boston the streets wen alive with a holiday crowd and the shop windows were decorated with crimson and blue Hags.

Early this morning trains began to bring thousands to the cily for the sole purpose of seeing the game. midnight trains for Bos? ton were packed like boxes to the SCENE AT THE COLUMBIA-PENNSYLVANIA FOOTBALL GAJHE AT AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK. CAPTAIN FISHER, Columbia. COLUMBIA BACKS RECEIVING ONE OF PENNSYLVANIA'S PUNTS. roofs.

The Boston record for the arrival of pri vate cars was broken ail to Some of the private car parlies came from as far away as' Chicago, while there were half a score of them from New-York alone. To the New-Yorker it seemed that Boston must be a small town after all. Nobody who knows New-York can imagine the being swamped by even the largest football crowd, yet Boston was swamped by to-day'a Last night you could not get a room at anv of the principal hotels for any price. You were lucky to-day if you could get any? thing to eat in any of the same hostlerles. Standing room was at a premium in the lobbies, and the overflow into the surrounding streets was vast.

From State-st. to Harvard Square you could not take a step without being re? minded that this was the day of days. Only once in two years does Yale play football on Soldiers this was the day. ON THE W.A.T TO THE FIELD. Long before noon the tide of humanity began to turn toward Cambridge.

It got there in every conceivable foot, in cabs, by trolleys, by automobiles, in moving vans, and even In the justly celebrated Boston herdic of an an? tiquity equal to that of the sacred codfish. Bos? ton's three hansoms were leased days ago. It took miles and miles of packed trolley cars and $1,000,000 worth of automobiles to get part of the crowd to its destination. Cambridge, of course, was football mad. The crimson was flaunted everywhere, save in the shops, which, thriftily remembering that thousands of Yale partisans would come along, did not forget to make some exhibition of the blue.

The police thoughtfully made edict that no vehicles or "autos" should be allowed to approach nearer to Soldiers Field than a quarter of a mile. It was well they did, for Boylston-st. to the bridge and North Harvard-st. beyond that was choked with human beings for an hour before the game. The bridge formed the narrow end" of the funnel for which all Boston was the large end.

Tickets could not be had at any price half an hour before the referee's whistle shrieked. They had all been sold, some of them at well nigh incredible prices. The management had an? nounced that tickets sold by speculators would be refused at the gate, and they employed de? tectives to help them enforce this rule. A few persons were, in consequence, held up at the gates, their tickets taken away, and the par value ($2) restored to them. They complained bitterly, but it was of no use.

They were but a few, however, and hundreds paid high pre? In fact, never have football tickets been held at so high a price. The sum of $100 was offered last night for two seats opposite the centre of the gridiron. Speculators were freely offering to pay $5 for any old seat, and they asked and got $lv for the most remote seats. WEATHER CONDITIONS FAVORABLE. It was a fine day for the crowd, but rather too warm for the players.

Rain fell here last night from 8 o'clock to midnight, and more rain was predicted for to-day. But the prophets were wrong about that. The day dawned fair? ly olear and by 11 o'clock the sun was out warm and bright. stiff breeze blew up from the southwest and it was quite like a day in April. Coats were carried freely over the arm and the sweater, so often a friend in time of need at a football game, w.as conspicuously absent.

It was feared that the rain might have soft? ened the fieid so as to make the footing poor for the players, but this mischance was avoided. The Harvard management had taken the pre? caution to cover the gridiron with an overcoat of straw, which so effectually protected it that it was in good shape for the fray. At 1:45 o'clock practically every seat was taken in the amphitheatre, and the throng settled down to wait for the teams. The Harvard centre of Interest was the west side of the stadium, where cheering section was located, and the Har? vard colors were massed for the most part on that side of the field. On the east rose tier upon tier of Yale enthusiasts, dotted with the dark blue, though here and there there blazed out de? fiantly a of crimson that was not to be snowed under by the tons and tons of violets about it.

Harvard started the day's din a few minutes before 2 o'clock with the famous inarching song, "Up the Street." led by a huge brass band, espe? cially recruited with a view to filling with noise as much as possible of the vast recesses of the stadium. The cistomary contingent of self sacrificing, athletic leaders was lined up Inside the gridiron fence. They were led by Burt Stevenson, captain of the baseball nine. All of them were provided with crimson mega? phones, and they worked like Trojans to the bitter end. Across the field Yale had her usual allow? ance of four conductors, whose reading of the score was pronounced by eminent musical critics lo be unexcelled.

It isn't every conductor who has a chorus of 10.000 voices under the control of his baton. All the Yale cheer leaders had blue megaphones, and If the issue of the match had been left to the noise directors it would have been a draw game. Yale's "Boola" answered "up the Then Harvard gave a long cheer for Yale, and Yale replied with one for Harvard, heaping, heaping up the coals of fire by rapping out a screamer for Captain Hurley, the injured leader of the Harvard eleven, who lay seriously ill in the City Hospital, waiting for bulletins of the match to be brought to the side of his white cot. ARRIVAL OF THE TEAMS. This courtesy on the part of Yale elicited a thunderstorm burst of grateful applause from the Harvard side of the stadium, and started the afternoon with a wave, of good feeling, i The forest of blue flags leaped into life pre? cisely on the dot of 2 o'clock as Captain Shev lin appeared at the corner of the gridiron at the head of his men.

The Yale players trotted leisurely out upon tht field and formed in a circle to pass the ball around. Just half a minute later the back haired Knowlton was seen emerging upon the field at the head of the Harvard 'varsity players wearing the canvas jacket and the substi? tutes the Harvard sweater. At once the Crim? son team fell to running off plays up and down the gridiron. They, too, got a great reception, the cheers lasting twice as long as those for Yale, probably because there were twice as many present to give them At any rate, they did; but, though it may help, cheering doesn't act? ually win games. "Three times three for Hurley!" bellowed the Harvard cheer leaders unanimously through their crimson megaphones.

And the cheers were given with such a will that the Injured Hanard chieftain might also have heard within the distant hospital if he had been listening, as perhaps he was. While the wait lasted Yale roared out a specially prepared version of the I slogan that proved so effective at the Prince? ton game: Harvard. Crimson, big and tall. What yer gwine ter do when yer grt that ball? Then came the usual brief and formal con? ference between the officials. Captain Shevlin of Yale, and Knowlton, who, In the absence of Captain Hurley, was delegated to captain Har? vard.

When the coin fell Knowlton guessed correctlv and chose at once to defend the south goal. At that time the wind was blowing pretty stiffly from the south, so the punter with his back to the south had a decided advantage, as. Indeed, the progress of the match In the first half piainly showed. For Yale several players put ud a star game, but none a better exhibition than Shevlin. The Blue's captain was everywhere, making flying tackles, up under punts like the wind and smothering trick plays.

Next to him Yale's tackles. Forbes and Bigelow. did the best work. They were up under punts as fast as the end, and several times tackled the man who caught the kicks. Forbes in particular having the luck and speed to get the ball on Nichols's fatal fumble.

Jones did not play his best game at quarter, doubtless owing to his injury. Rooms piayed a beautiful game, both on the offensive and de? fensive and his 45-yard run was the longest of the match. Quili. until he was taken out, prob? ably gained more ground than any other Yale man. His plunges seemed almost Irresistible and leads one to wonder why he was not played In the Princeton game.

I CAPTAIN HURLEY. Harvard. CAPTAIN SHEVLIN. Yale. COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES ON MANY FIELDS.

The football games of yesterday, which closed the season for many of the college elevens, were marked by three or four close and spectacular contests, by several scores so one-sided as to be farcical, and by numerous injuries, two of which resulted fatally. Yale beat Harvard 6 to 0 only after the hardest kind of a fight, In which the Crimson warriors did not suffer In comparison. Pennsylvania outplayed Columbia from whistle to whistle; Dartmouth upheld the reputation made by beating Princeton and tying Harvard by disposing of Brown; Wesleyan was fairly smothered by Swarthmore, while West Point and won their matches after a struggle.

The uproar died away to a fateful hush as Bige low, Yale's big tackle, carefully prepared a little mound of earth at the middle of the field and daintily balanced the ball upon it.

Then it was seen that "Tad" Jones, Yale's famous freshman quarterback, liad been got into shape to play, despite the prophecies to the contrary, for he was in his place. too, was Quill, the old Am herst player, at fullback, in place of Flinn, who did so well against Princeton. Otherwise Yale's eleven was the same as that that first faced the Tigers. There were no surprises in Harvard's line-up. Bigelow's kick-oft fell into Starr's arms on Har? vard's 10-yard line and the little quarter got back ten yards.

Brill the first Harvard man to take the ball, but his bull rush was promptly stood up by the Yale line, white a roar of pure de? light shot up from the Yale terraces. Burr kicked on the second down, although Parker made a bad pass to Morse at Yale's 47-yard mark. On the first play Jones juggled the pas6, but saved it, and Roome punted out of bounds at Harvard's 30-yard Une, the Cr'mscn gaining ten yards in the exchange of kicks. Then Harvard began 1o send her friends Into paroxysms of joy. Twice Squires, at the head of a tandem, ripped Yale's line up for four yards.

Then the fake tandem was worked for the first time, and Foster got away for six yards, nearly making three first downs in three tries. Squires got through Forbes for five more, and somebody sent up a cloud of little crimson balloons to cele? brate. Four more Squires made in the same way, and then the little fake tandem, and three yards gained by that, if you please, bringing the ball into Yale's territory in Harvard's hands for the first time. YALE HOLDS FOK DOWNS. Squires had shot through Forbes for eight yards more the Yale team put their heads together for a conference, but Squires got three yards more on the next try.

Brill headed the tandem next and Yale held for no gain. Foster tried to hurdle, but hit something impenetrable. It was third down and one yard to gain. Brill tried it, but failed, and Yale took the ball. "Now." said the Yale partisans to themselves, breathing more easily; "now, we'll see." From Yale's 47-yard mark Roome got through Brill for two yards, Quill made two driving plunges of five and four yards respectively, Roome made it another first down, and Quill, plunging, driving, fighting and being dragged along, covered ten yards through Brill in one rush, neing rewarded therefor by the biggest Vale cheer that had yet been hurtled forth.

After Bigelow had waded on three yards Quill did his trick again, this time for sevtn yards. Yale was hitting between Brill and Burr all the time now, but lost five for somebody's off? side play. After two short gains by Quill, who was being worked like a dray horse. Harvard took her turn at being penalized five yards. Quill tore off four yards more in the same spot, and Yale musically informed the populace that there would soon he "more work for the under? It looked like It, too, but Harvard held harder at every rush now, for the last ditch was getting dangerously close.

Yale kept on using Quill, but that indefatigable player got onlv one yard on a hurdle attempt, and when tried the centre Harvard stood him up. It was third down, two yards to go and too much on one side to try for a goal from the field. It was a moment. on Harvard!" "They can't rush the ball!" Howled the Yale chorus. But It did no good, Roome carried the ball, but this time Tnpp didn't get through Brill, and the Harvard stand shook with uproar as the Crimson took the ball on her own 17-yard line.

On the "fake" tandem plunge Foster was stopped for no gain, but'Wendell made five yards around Shevlin's end on the same kind of a play. On the first down Harvard tried a "fake" punt, Starr at? tempting a quarterback run and being thrown for a loss by the watchful Catea. Then Burr punted to Yaie's 40-yard mark, with the aid of the kind southwest wind, and Roome booted it back. Har? vard gaining twelve yards on the deal. Bigelow stopped another "fake" plunge for no gain and Burr booted the leather back to Yale's 40-yard sta? tion again.

Jones tried one of his quarterback runs, but it did not come off. Ho made a mess of the dodging and Leary got him mighty hard. On a double pass Leary repeated his performance and threw Jones for a loss, so that Roome punted to Starr, a dewdrop of a kick, to Yale's 60-yard line only. That made a gain of fifteen yards for Har? vard 0:1 that punt swap, and as Starr heeled the catch Burr fell back to try a fifty-yard place kick for goal. HARVARD FAILS AT GOAL It was an exciting moment, and Harvard shrieked with Joy as the ball flew straight away from the big guard's foot.

But it passed outside the western goal post by a few feet. Roome punted out from the 20-yard line to Burr. It was a wretched attempt, and went only twenty feet. When Burr caught it Quill tackled him so hard that he went down face up. It was then Harvard's ball on Yale's 40-yard mark, and the Crimson stock went high.

Justly so, for Squires, Brill and Foster soon bucked their way to the 27 yard line, where the Yale line took its turn at and took the leather on downs, vastly to the glee of the Ya'e shouters on the eastern benches. This was really the high water mark of the Har? vard offence. After an exchange of punts, there came another exciting moment. Yale jabbed her way to her 49-yard line, and then Roome sliced between Leary and Brill and got clear through the line for a dazzling 46-yard run, the longest of the day. being finally thrown by Wendell seventeen yards from th? line.

It certainly looked a Yale touchdown, for the conscientious Quill rappe? through the line for four and one yards to the 12-yard line, but there Harvard stopped the advance again by sheer pluck. Quill was not sharp enough to stab tha line again, and it was? Harvard's ball, and the danger once again averted. Harvard started in with a big rush, and gained fifteen yards btfore Burr aim wiuaUe ended the half. The myriads rubbed their hands. Their eyes sparkled.

They had come to see Harvard butchered to make an Eli holiday, and lo! there was an even chance that Johnny Harvard might turn out to be the butcher himself. SECOND HALF. Yale made no change for the second naif, but Harvard substituted Barney for Parker, who had shown signs of playing out. Burr kicked off. Harvard having the north goal this time, and Shevlin ran it back to Yale's 15-yard mark.

kicking to midfield again. Then H. Jones, brother of the quarterback, came into the Yale line for Cates. Brill made a Hoganlike rush for five yards. Starr was hurt, and got a hearty cheer when he arose for wurk again.

Brill made three "successive gains for a total of six yards. In the third scrimmage Wendell and Morse had their little mix-up. for which the umpire sent Morse to the side lines, Hoyt taking his place. If Morse had to go, Wendell should surely have gone, too, for it looked as if be was the aggressor. On a fumble Foster was thrown foi a loss.

Burr then punted. Jones on a 'fake'1 plunge made a fine run of nty-flve yards around Knowlton's end. For moment It looked as if he would get clear, which would have meant a run the length of the field for a touchdown, but Foster pulled him down. The coaches tried send in then, Jones was hurl, but Shevlin wouldn't have It, and I Hutchinson had to wait. Yak? went wild again when Roome skirted the HOW THE BATTLE LINES WERE DRAWN.

New-York University defeated Union at football at Ohio Field yesterday afternoon by a score of 11 to 0 In a game marred by the most serious acci? dent of recent years In college football. Harold R.

Moore, right halfback on the Union team, sus? tained Injuries resulting In his death, as in another column. New-York's victory was the result of superior condition and a better balanced attack. Both teams did good work ou the defensive. Union par? ticularly holding well In the first half, under dis? couraging conditions. During the first ten minutes of play New-York kept smashing away at Union's last line of defence, only to be hurled tack three times, when a touchdown seemed Inevitable.

Then Union braced and carried the ball many yards on mass plays. First a fumble and then the call of time saved New-York Just when the situation seemed desperate. In the second half New-York's weight and dash carried all before it, and two touchdowns resulted After the kick-off New-York delighted its sup? porters by beginning a march down the field, the tandem formation, with Jennings or Cragln back, being used to advantage. But in a moment the Union crowd had its turn, for the ball rolled our. of a scrimmage to Union's 35-yard line, where a red Jersey covered It.

Union found New-York's defence too good to make any headway, and Moore punted. After New-York had rushed the ball thirty yards Connell tried for a field goal, but the attempt fell a few feet short. New-York's attack at this stage was strong, but Rust gave up smashing Union's line with the tackle back play, and New-York lost the ball on downs when a couple of end runs failed to yield aa inch. Union suffered a heavy loas soon after the game started, when McNab was forced to give way to Potter aa the result of a badly hurt ankle. Toward the end of the half, however, in spite of this handicap and that Inflicted by Moore's fatal injury, the Union team took a big brace in its offensive work.

The ball was carried sixty yards by straight football before a fumble gave it to New-York, and lost Union Its best, and, in fact, its only, chance to score. got the ball on a fumble at the begin? ning of the second' half, and, again bringing the tandem formation into piay. smashed through the Union line for big gains. In five minutes of play the ball was taken to the 5-yard line. Jennings ripped off the remaining distance and scored tha first touchdown.

He was also responsible for the second, which followed soon afterward as the re? sult of a costly offside play on Davls's punt, which gave New-York the ball on Union's 10-yard line. In three rushes the ball was ever the line. The individual playing of Jennings, Cragln and the New-York ends was noticeable, while Von Dan nenberg did brilliant work for Union, getting down the field under punts, following the ball closely, opening holes in the line and tackling all over the field. The line-up follows: Cnion (0). Positions.

Goal from touch? Time of end for ten yards and followed it up again the very next try by getting between Brill and Burr for twelve more, but when the same player bounded back the next time for no gain it was Harvard that went wild. Hoyt then got his first chance to punt. There's no better punter in the game than he when he's in shape, and though he was not in his usual form yesterday he got off a forty yard kick. Squires then got busy for no less than six consecutive rushes through Yale's left wing for a total of thirteen yards together with a seven yard gain by Wendell on that little fake tandem. Brill got too anxious, and a penalty of five yards was Imposed, but the powerful tackle got square with two more those Hoganlike rushes of his for a total of nine yards.

A number of changes in the team of Yale fol? lowed here. Quill giving place to Levlne, Erwin to Hockenberger and Jones to Hutehinson. It was obvious that, with Harvard only twenty-seven yards away from a touchdown Yale was scared. She wanted the fresh men to bolster up the Une re? sistance. Harvard at.

once lost five yards for offsld? play. Then Starr tried to gain on the fake tandem, but H. Jones threw him for a ten yard loss, so that Burr had to punt. After Boome made two short gains Hoyt punted to Harvard's 43-yard mark. Burr returned it.

Harvard losing nearly thirty yards on the exchange owing to the fact that Burr kicked out of bounds. Then came that sad page in Harvard history, Hoyt's punt to Nichols, who only that minute had been substituted for Foster; Nichols's muff and the following touchdown, already described. Hutehin? son punted out to Knox, who had taken Roome's place, and Hoyt kicked an easy goal. Score, 6 to 0. HARVARD GAME TO THE END.

Harvard's players trotted gamely out again, anx? ious to retrieve the game even yet. Burr kicked oil to Shevlin under the latter's own goal, and even Shevlin managed to get hurt running it back Seventeen vards. Knox and Bigelow made several short gains through the line, but a five yard penalty put Yale back to her 30-yard mark, so that Knox'3 twelve-yard run. slicing the left end. did not keep Hoyt from having to punt.

Newhall went in for Starr and on a double pass the alert Shevlin, un beguiled, got Wendell for a loss. Our only hope now is for Nichols to get away for a long run," muttered one Harvard man. Nichols tried It and failed to gain a foot. Shev? lin threw Wendeil for another loss and Burr punted to Hutehinson, who got it on the run and made ten yards. Then the Yale coaches let Phil Smith in to get his He almost made a bad pass to Hoyt for a punt, but the back got it off all right.

Nichols made two yards from Harvard's 30-yard chalkline; then Burr punted and the game ended, after Yale had made one or two short gains, with the bull on the Blue's 50-yard mark. Tiiere were wild cheers for the victors, of course, wilder for the nobly beaten. Thousands of Harvard undergraduates stood bareheaded in the twilight and sang "Fair Hurvard." while others of them literally carried off on their shoulders the team that in the face of terrible odds had made one of the finest rallies in football history. COMMENTS ON THE GAME. Captain Shevlin, of Yale, Lands the Harvard of Others.

Cambridge, Nov. on the game to-night. Captain T. L. Shevlin, of Yale, said: "I have played four Harvard teams in my time, but have never seen one to compare with the one we met to-day.

Their defence for our famous tackies-back formation was about perfect. It was a clean game, as the number of penalties testified." A. E. Whiting, of Cornell, the head linesman said: "It was a tie game on the strength of the teams." David Campbell, captain of the Harvard team of 1S01, said: "We outplayed Yale, and but for the fumble It surely would have been a tie game." B. L.

Waters, another former Harvard captain, I said: "We outplayed them, but Yale was better drilled In the fundamentals. Our defeat was due I to their better coaching." STAY-AT-HOMES CELEBRATE VICTORY. Undergraduates at New-Haven Rejoice in Usual Undergraduate Way. (By Telegraph to The New-Haven, Nov. to the fact that most of the Yale students had gone to Cam? bridge to attend the Yale-Harvard football game, the celebration of Y'ale's victory was not so big as would have been the case otherwise.
