LONDON, Nov. 18.— The passing of an
other week without any material change
In the status of the beleaguered British
force at Ladysmith is responsible for a
much more hopeful feeling in Great Brit
ain regarding the fate of the garrison.
On all sides the belief is expressed that
they will be able to withstand an attack
until relief arrives.
It is hard to understand the ground for
such general optimism, for so far the
Boers have not made a determined as
sault, but it seems certain that they
all along Intended to make such an at
tack as a climax to their extreme
strategy. That they have put off such
an attack until the last moment se.ms
probable, lor if they were driven to as
sault Ladysmith they would doubtless
desire to attempt it when the British
ammunition is at the lowest ebb.
The diversion of Boer units from Lady-
BmTth toward Estcourt cannot,. It is
claimed, be taken as an indication that
the Boers have given up hope of captur
ing Ladysmith, for their plan of campaign
appears to be far too skillfully mapped
out and too tenaciously adhered to to
admit the suspicion that they had sud
denly and without sufficient cause aban
doned their main object. The present
situation around Ladysmith can well be
believed to be the lull that precedes th«
etorm.
Many signs point to the quick relief
of Kimberley, or the defeat of the Brit
ish attempt to achieve it. and it has
apparently been decided that Mafeking
must take its chances, and Col. Baden-
Powell wil probably be given several more
chances to write facetious dispatches.
NAVY IN THE FIGHT.
Tt is interesting to note that among
the British naval brigade at Ladysmith
ftr e no less than seven midshipmen, none
probably over seventeen, among them
being Sir Edward Chichester's son. There
are also two naval engineers. This it
the first occasion on which naval en
gineers have been actively engaged at j
the front in a purely land campaign. Tha
admiralty has quietly bought 10.000 suiti
and equipments for the men of the naval
reserve. Though these are scarcely like
ly to be used in the immediate future, the !
purchase is one more indication of what !
thorough preparations Great Britain U
making for any eventualities. A corre
spondent with the channel squadron say 8 :
"Though lying quietly moored at Gib
raltar every precaution Is taken to pre
vent surprise, the crews being praetlcallv
under war discipline.' 1 ™-ucauj
The naval critics declare that the be
h.u d i bartering of the White Star liner
Majestic shows that the subsidized lines
6hould not only be available as govern
ment cruisers, but as transports
HIGH NAVAL STANDARD.
Arnold White, lecturing at Arnold col
lege on naval matters during the week
declared that the high standard of th*
navy is directly attributable to Lord
Charles Beresford and Capt. Alfred'Ma
nan. It is now almost certain that Lord
Cnarlos Beresford will ba second in com
mand of the Mediterranean squadron He
has already received his commission The
Revenge will be his flagship. He is op"
posed to damming the Suez canal instead
of holding it in time of war.
WATCHING HOLLAND BOAT.
The trill of the Holland submarine tor
pedo boat has attracted considerable at
tention. The general criticism is that it
could only b e operated undor the most
£ V °^ b l? con<litio!l s. and that ludgment
should be withheld until trials could be
"f at **» a "d at night. It i 8 sa id
France will have two submarine boats
ready for service before next April.
LIBERAL IDF.AS.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's Man
chester effort war by far the most Im
portant Liberal utterance in or out of
parliament since the Transvaal crises He
clearly laid down the lines of party
policy which, briefly summarized, are
Enthusiastic support of the campaign and
suspension of judgment on the policy that
made it necessary. The reincarnation of
Lord Rosebory is anothei notable feature
Never at any stage of his career has he
been more active in speaking, one day on
the Transvaal, the next on housing Lon
don .« poor, and the.i the next day with
eiual brilliancy a oanegyric on Cromwell
Is ever has th.? nation seen a better ex
position of the versatility of its ex
premier. How Lord Rosebery intends to
shape his future course is as much a
mystery as the man. Though he is at
variance with the present views of tl-o-e
of the majority of the Liberals it is
quite evident ho will form his own' party
The- war seems to have given the gov
ernment a new lease of life.
HEALTH OF THE QUEEN.
To attend the ceremonies at Bristol it
was necessary to make a long Journey
from Balmoral, yet the queen showed nc
fatigue. The spontaneous outburst of
enthusiasm which everywhere greeted her
deeply touched her majesty. After such
an exhibition of vigor the talk of her re
tirement in favor of the Prince of Wales
has now usually no part in the gossip of
today.
MRS. PAGET'S SHOW.
Mrs. Arthur Paget's entertainment for
the benefit of the guards, who have gone
to South Africa, Includes tableaux, in
which Lady de Grau, Lady Warwick and
other titled personages will appear. The
Duchess of Sutherland will recite, and
Miss Marcel Wilson will act. Most of
these distinguished amateurs will make
their first public appearance this season. "
SAMOAN AGREEMENT.
The Speaker prints an article in de
nunciation of the Samoan agreement de
claring that Lord Salisbury has given
Germany possession of the pearl of the
Pacific, and the only possible naval base
In the South Seas, in exchange for an
acknowledgment of the already establish
ed rights In Tonga, and a peck of new
The St.Paul Globe
troubles in the Solomon islands, adding:
"The nation that hold 3 Samoa holds the
Pacific, and Lord Salisbury deliberately
consented that this nation shall be Ger
many. It is true he dashed their Joy ami
laid up a store of strife for them by giv
ing Tutuila to the Americans, but that
doe.< not help us, and will not console the
loyal and ambitious colonist, whose in
terests were sacrified for the sake of
toadying to the emperor, and make them
dei-pise us for our servility."
The writer then says the admiralty rec
ord disapproves Lord Salisbury's state
ment respecting the harbors, saying:
"Tonga, which Lord Salisbury said was
a good harbor, was inaccessible in rough
weather or at night, while Pago Pago is
the finest harbor in the world."
CROPS BURNED.
The rapid increase of light railroads has
been attended by destruction of English
crops from sparks from engines and the
farmers are clamoring for compensation
from the railways. That aggressive Brit
ish sheet, the Speaker, says plaintively
on the subject:
"The only hope is that Ecience will come
to the relief and cause engines to consume
their own smoke."
MANY SOLDIERS SICK.
Climate Is Telling on the Troops
In the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.— Many army
officers now in the Philippines are likely
to be retired prematurely on account of
incapacity. Gen. Otis was struck with the
large number of older officers of his com
mand, who were constantly on the sick
list or who were applying for sick leave.
The surgeons have had their hands full
attending to the disabled officers, and in
many instances have reported the
patients unfit for duty.
Gen Otis was led to ask the war de
partment for a board which should sit In
Manila and before which he might order
those officers who were pronounced by
the doctors as incapacitated. The depart
ment furnished Gen. Otis with the names
of ten high ranking officers to furnish the
personnel of such a board, and gave Otis
authority to order officers before the
board for examination, ft is expected a
large number of the senior officers with
troops in the Philippines will be reported
for retirement on account of physical dis
ability, many of them having served and
been wounded in the campaign of San
tiago.
This is true In the case with Capt.
Brett, of the Twenty-fourth infantry, who
has been recommended for retirement. He
was shot in the elbow in Cuba and has
been on sick leave for some weeks in
Manila. Gen. Otis also recently asked for
twenty additional surgeons. He has found
that the army doctors have had all they
could do with the troops widely distribut
ed and the sick lists growing week by
week
The climate is telling upon the officers
and men, and, while the disabilities are
not serious, it is necessary that a doctor
shall attend each separate command, if
the health of the corps in the Philippines
Is to be preserved. Gen. Otis' request
has been complied with, and there are
now in the Philippines or under orders for
the islands about fifty surgeons. Gen. Otis
has been advised of this, and has notified
the department that the provision made
for medical officers is ample for the pres
ent.
AGED MISER DEAD.
"William Burke, a. Miser of Marengo,
111.. Leaves a Large Estate.
MARENGO, 111., Nov. 18.— William
Burke died at his home here today at
the remarkable age of 110 years. He was
a miser, and leaves property worth many
thousands of dollars.
Burke was born in Germany In 1789, and !
CHme to the United States about sixty
years ago. For a time he was a peddler,
but later commenced buying old iron and
bones. He accumulated some money, and j
by investing it carefully added to it. After j
he was independently rich he continued to j
buy old bones and rags and begged from
door to door. He was penurious in every
respect, and often went for days without
eating. He lived on the town for several
years, as the authorities were not aware
of his wealth. After his death a large
amount of money in greenbacks and gold
was found sewed in his clothes.
He leaves two children, and even they
were not aware of his wealth until the pa
pers showing his ownership of large tracts
of land were found in his clothes today.
There are numerous relatives who claim
a share in his estate, and there will be a
contest for the property left. He was
small in stature, and often wandered
about the streets in the coldest weather
with barely enough to cover his body in |
order to curry sympathy and secure
money from puscpptible persons. The fu
neral will be held tomorrow.

ESTCOURT, Nov. 18.— At 10 o'clock this
morning the Boers attempted to rush
Estcourt, but one shot from . the naval
guns and several long-range volleys fired
by the Dublin fuslleers sent them back
precipitately. The Boers had several
guns posted on surrounding kopjes, but
our naval men apparently astonished
them, and their guns were withdrawn.
For several days it has. been known
that the Boers have been creeping toward
Estcourt and had boasted they would be
in here this morning. They were met
upon their arrival with a reception that
they little expected. At exactly 10
o'clock the Dublin fusileers took up their
position and without waiting any time
opened flre by volleys at long ranj?e on
the advancing enemy, who were crossing
the railway from the northwest of the
town. A loud roar and a hissing over
head told the tale of the blue jackets'
watchfulness. A big puff of smoke indi
cated that their aim was good, the shell
bursting in the midst of the Boers, sev
eral of whose horses were observed gal
loping without riders. The Boers doubled
back helter skelter.
On advantageous points of the sur
rounding hills the Boers' guns were
posted, getting ready to cover the ad
vance of their firing line. Their aston
ishment must have been great, as they
speedily retired. One shot caused them
to withdraw out of sight. They evi
dently did not dream that the British
had a long-range gun here, as they were
coming on with the utmost confidence,
expecting to be in Estcourt within fif
teen minutes after crossing the railway.
The bluejackets abruptly arrested their
progress, and deserve credit for the ac
curacy with which they judged the range.
Gen. Hildyard and his staff were beside
the naval guns. AM is now quiet again.
CEASELESS ACTIVITY.
LONDON, Nov. 18.— The latest news
from the seat of war in South Africa is
from one view point favorable to the Brit
ish, showing that Klmberley is able to
hold its own against the Boer bombard
ment, and that Estcourt is also in a posi
tion to beat back an attack by the Boer
force now facing it. On the other hand,
the advices pay testimony to the ceaseless
activity of the Boers on the Free State
border, and their determination to cut off
relief from Ladysmith and, if possible, to
capture Estcourt, which is the nearest
town to Ladysmith still held by the Brit
ish.
A number of small Boer commandoes
from the east and west are converging on
Estcourt, and the railway just south of
that place. The Boers already aggregate
at least 2,000, with a few guns, which
they evidently, from the entrenchments
they are throwing up, mean to mount on
hills dominating any advance north from
Esicourt, where Gen. Hildyard is still
commanding.
Even with the strong relief column now
hurrying up from Durban, the British will
have a tough job to pierce the Boer forces
thrown across the roads to Ladysmith,
while crossing the Tugela river on pon
toon bridges In the face of the Boer ar
tillery and rifle fire from the northern
ridges commanding the river, will prob
ably prove one of the stiffest questions of
the war.
NO PAROLE FOR SCHIELE.
Belated dispatches from Cape Town give
Gen. Bullet's reply to the application of
Col. Schiele, the Germi-.i officer captured
at Elandslaagte, for a parole, in accord
ance with the alleged promiss of Gen.
White. Buller expresses regret that cap
tivity is inconvenient to Col. Schiele. but
declines to admit that there is any breach
of etiquette. He continues:
"No commander can give parole or ex
ercise control over the safe keeping of a
prisoner outside the limits of his own
command. By the action of the forces of
the republic, Gen. White's command Is at
present limited to Ladysmith, Rnd the
general commanding in Natal is perfectly
justified in making arrangements for the
safety of prisoners of war that the cir-
I cumstances of command may require.
Great Britain Is 6,000 miles from the Capa.
The Transvaal declared war and invaded
British territory before a British force
cculd be put in the field. They therefore
obtained an immense military advantage
at the outset. They no doubt took into
consideration the fact that the small Brit,
ish force opposed to them would have
few men to spare to guard prisoners, who
might, therefore, be subjected to close
restraint. On the arrival of the British
force will do my best to remedy any in- s
convenience."
An official dispatch from Pretoria, dated
Friday, Nov. 10, confirms the statements
to the effect that the Boer big guns had
little effect at Mafeking. Reports from
Cape Colony indicate that the Boer sym
pathizers are greatly surprised at the in
ability of Gen. Joubert to capture Lady
smith.
FIGHTING ON ORANGE RIVER.
Interesting details are arriving at Cape
Town from the Orange river relating to
the fighting at Beimont, showing that
When Col. Keith-Falconer was Bhot
through the breast he was going to the
assistance of a wounded lieutenant, Be
van. Lieut. Brooke, of the lancers, had
a marvelous escape. He had dismount
ed to sketch the Boer position, being at
the time some distance ahead of his
troopers, when thirty Boers opened fire,
and bullets passed under his leg as he
mounted, killing his horse.
It is announced that the following Brit
ish transports arrived at Cape Town to
day: Mongolian, with the Second Sea
forth Highlanders and a field hospital;
American, with a battery of horse ar
tillery, part of a cavalry brigade and an
ammunition column; Pavonia, with the
Second Royal fusileers and the Second
Royal Scots fuslleers; Jamaica, with a
squadron of the Sixth dragoons; Cepha
lonla, with the Fourth brigade staff, the
First Durham*, mounted Infantry and de
tachments of the medical corps. This
adds, roughly, 4,600 to the British fore« In
South Africa, making? a, total of about
27,000 men of Gen. Buller's corps that have
arrived.
FORWARD MOVEMENTS.
A dispatch from Orange River camp
dated Wednesday, Nov. ( 15, says:
"A brigade of the guards arrived today
by rail from Cape Town and marched
to their quarters, looking perfectly lit.
They were loudly cheered. Other troops
under Gen. Methuen are rapidly pushing
forward the preparations- for the ad
vance. Last night the Northumberland
fupileers made a long night march in the
brilliant moonlight. It was a smart ex
hibition. All troops are being exercised
daily.
"Gen. Methuen has decided that only
four newspaper correspondents shall ac
company the forward movement, which
may now take place at any moment. No
baggage, tents or servants will be al
lowed."
A special dispatch from Pletermaritz
burg dated Saturday, Nov. 18, says:
"A runner brings a message from
Ladysni'th and says that on Nov. 9 the
Boers attacked Ladysmith from the
southeast, but were repulsed with great
loss. On Nov. 10 the Boers made an
attack near Colenso, but were repulsed
with 800 loss. Fighting is proceeding at
Estcourt."
BATTLE OF BELMONT.
A special dispatch from Orange River
camp, under date of Saturday, Nov. 11,*
gives fuller details of tbe Beimont en
gagement of the previous day, in which
Col. Keith-Falconer, of the Northumber
land fusileerp, was killed. The special
says the fight was brorght about by a
reconalssance in force to the northward.
The British got three miles beyond Bei
mont. The Boers, numbering 700, were
etrongly posted on a ridge, in a position
of great natural strength. They were
commanded by Commandant Van der
Meier. The lancers and patrols advanced
towards the Boer position across the
plain. The main British force, In
skirmish line of battle, soon drew the
enemy's artillery fire, which was wild,
and out of range. The lancers handler
their Maxims well, raining bullets so
smartly upon them that the Boers scut
tled for better shelter. The Boers' shells
were ineffective. Mai. Lindsay got the
range quickly, end placed his shells so

they burst over their heads, doir.g great
execution.
"The battle continued," said the cor
respondent, "the Boers removing their
dead and wounded, while the mounted
battery silenced their artillery. It was on
the Spitz we suffers J greatest loss. Col.
Falconer was reconoiterlng with a small
party, and advanced wlihtn 500 yards be
fore discov3ring their presence. They
suddenly opened fire. Col. falconer was
the *<rst to fall, shot through the chest.
Lieut. Wood fell with a bullet through
his head. Despite these losses the officers
and men never faltered, but retreated
coolly, covered' by the cavalry. The
enemy made no attempt to follow thorn.
On the whole, the Boers did not show any
stomach for fighting.
"The bodies of Col. Falconer and Lieut.
Wood were brought here and have b?en
burled in a pretty spot on a kopje over
looking the camp. Their resting place Is
marked with a cairn of v.hite stones."
INDIVIDUAL GALLANTRY.
The latest armored * train disaster has
brought into relief a fiumper of cases of
individual gallantry. Among them is a
Black Watch veteran, named Bayong,
who continued- firing until his trigger was
shot away. Another Black Watch vet
eran, named Smith, bravei" helped to
convey the woundea to the train. Amid
the hail of bullets Lieut. Churchill turned
to him, shook hia- hand and called him a
brave old man. Another instance is that
of a volunteer, who lay coolly under the
hot fire, cracking jokes with every shot,
thus keeping his comrades from becoming
flurried, while all the time he was suffer
ing from a wound, his rfeht ear having
bee.i carried away. Qorporal Dickie,
though wounded and lying on his back,
encouraged the men by shouting "Give
'em beans, boys."
From the Free State frontier comes
news that reinforcements are rapidly ar
riving at the Orange River camp, where
Lord Methuen is hurriedly preparing to
push a relief force on to Klmberley.
The Scots Guards arrived from Cape
Town on Thursday, and the relief force
ought now to be strong enough to tackle
the Boers besieging the town.

ARMORED TRAIN VICTIMS.
ESTCOURT, Natal, Friday. Nov. 17.—
Dr. Brlscoe.who was in charge of the Red
Cross train sent fo bring- irf the killed
and succor the wounded of the armored
train disaster, gives an interesting ac
count of a second interview which he had
with the Boer commandant, who met Dr.
Briscoe as soon as he left the train, car

replied to the doctors request for permis
sion to remove the dead and wounded by
saying that there was no need to hand
over the dead, who had already been

were concerned they wera being well
cared for by the Boer; hospital . corps.
The Boer commandant and Dr. Briscoe,

the pluckiness exhibited on both sides.
The commandant spoke English fluently,

GAME FIGHT Bf GOPHERS
THE VISITORS PREVENTED FROM

FIRST HALF
NINETEEN POINTS PILED UP
Badgeri in the Second Half Saw
They Had a Hard Proposition on
Their Hands and Took a Brace—
Showing Made by Minnesota More
Satisfactory Than Had Been An
ticipated—Game lv Detail.
Again has Wisconsin lowered the col
ors of the University of Minnesota. The
carriers of the cardinal did it to a niecty
yesterday afternoon before a yelling
mass of 5,000 people, on the Northrop
field gridiron. The score was 19 to 0.
It was probably the fiercest game ever
played on Minnesota soil, and the score
is not indicative of the struggle that Wis
consin made In wresting the third suc
cessive victory from the brave and
brawny Gophers.
It was a winning full of flukes. Friend
and foe of Minnesota must admit this.
Not a single point of Wisconsin's score
was won on straight, hard, overpowering
football. On the other hand, it must be
Bald that Minnesota was outplayed,
thanks to the wonderful kicking prow
ess of O'Dea.
The defense put up by the Gopher ath
letes was nothing short of marvelous.
It was a fight between veterans and re
cruits, and the old ones were given a
"mill" such as they had never dreamed
of. Minnesota was considered mush, but
she outdid herself and gave the much
touted Wisconsiners a rub that was
worth a tramp of miles to see.
At the end of the first half the score
stood 0 to 0. Phil King's proteges were
taken off their feet. They had bargain
ed for a gold brick. They had found
some real gilt.
The first was Minnesota's half. Not
only on the defense, but in aggressive
play as well. And that in spite of Capt.
Pat O'Dea's kangaroo leg.
No one had expected a victory for Min
nesota. But few looked for anything
but a large score, and the monstrous
crowd of rooters were paralyzed with
Joy when the referee's whistle announced
the finish of play of the first
half. Time after time did Minnesota
hold their big opponents on downs, and ;
time after time did they break through
the husky Badger forwards and tackle
the runner behind the line.
It was a game filled with sensational
plays. The tackling was sharp and fierce.
The runs were fast and furious. The
onslaughts against the lines were des
perate and determined. The grit, the
pluck, the endurance were wonderful and
never flagging. The whole game was
played at a killing pace and spoke well
for the development of the science of
football in the West. Neither side was
penalized, and not a man ruled off the
field.
But Wisconsin— the athletic Wisconsin
—undoubted champion of the West— was
not to be denied. She came to Minnesota
with an unsullied record. Not & college
nor university had scored against her,
with the single exception of Yale. Even
the sons of Eli had been given a scare
that had made the rooters old.
TI'RN OF THE TIDE.
The second half belonged to Wisconsin.
The Badgers started off on this stretch
with a desperation born ot defeat— for a
tie would have been a defeat in Wiscon
sin's eyes.
ODea made a beautiful drop kick from
Minnesota's forty-yard line, and this was
the beginning of the scoring. The at
lackF against the Minnesota line were ter
rific, crushing, frightful. At one time this
br.ttering ram drove the little pipkin
spheroid for forty yards. The cardinal
men banged their way through the fight
ing Minnesotans till the ball was but a
single yard from the Minnesota goal line.
It wue done with a hammering so per
sistent, so tireless that it seemed as
though nothing could withstand it. But
something did. It was the desperate
eleven, almost despised on account of
weakness by their more successful rivals.
Minnesota made a rally that made the
blood of the crowd run cold for an in
ftant. The next It was boiling over.
The multitude was frenzied in their Joy.
By sheer grit and gameness the charge of

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 18.— In a
whirlwind of excitement, simply heart
breaking in its intensity, the Harvard-
Yale game on Soldiers' field this after
noon ended without a score. Tale had
played Harvard to a standstill; then
Harvard had rallied to one of the grand
est finishes ever seen on the gridiron,
and, after a missed try at goal, the im
mense crowd of people swarmed down
from the seats to where the players wer«
cheering their opponents. The famous
football game on the same field in 1891
had been repeated, and Yale, by her su
perb defense, had held the much-boaste<i
Harvard attack.
The contest was a brilliant one from,
start to finish, and from the blowing ol
the first whistle to the sounding of th<
last the result was in doubt.
The end of the game furnished the most
thrilling climax of the afternoon's sport,
when, after rushing the ball to Yale'i
twenty-five yard line by steady plays,
and with thirty seconds of the playing
time left, Hallowell, the Harvard end,
brought the enormous crowd to its feet
when he dropped back of the line for a
drop kick for goal. The two line*
crouched, the Yale men preparing to tear
through, if possible, and prevent this
last chance for Harvard's score, yuar
terback Daly called out the signal, the
lines bent lower and Halloweil was
ready for the final effort. Not a sound
was heard as the ball was put into place,
with the opposing rushers crashing to
gether at the same moment. Daly made
a clean pass and Hallowell kicked. It
was a neat attempt, but the pigskin
sailed just outside the goal posts. In
deed, the goal was so narrowly missed
that the Harvard followers went wild in
their belief that the five points had been
scored. A few seconds later the Yale
men were thrown into paroxysms of de
light when it became known that It wag
"no goal."
SPECTACULAR WORK.
Twice in the first half the doughty
players of Harvard treated their follow
ers to a spectacle which made apparent
ly logical the conclusion that it was
again Harvard's day. Once she was
balked in her efforts by as magnificent a
show of football reserve as was ever
displayed, when Yale forced back to her
own two-yard line, with the CHmgbn men
playing like fiends, held for dowr.F and
recovered the ball. Shortly afterward
Harvard, taking splendid advantage of a
Yale fumble, was given a chance at a
field goal from the twenty-yard line.
Capt. Burden, however, usually a re
markable kicker, made a poor try, and
a sigh of bitter disappointment went up
from the Harvard stand.
Harvard monopolized offensive honors
the first half, but Yale's defense proved
itself amazingly strong, and although the
Cambridge eleven played with the slight
wind at their back, the- members of her
team were unable to force the ball nver
the Yale coveted line. The New Haven
boys turned the tables in the second half
and, playing with the dash that has made
Yale a feared opponent, confined the play
of the half to Harvard territory mainly.
The Vales gave the crimson a variety
of surprises*. The Harvard team was in
fine form and their game was >-v. h as h«*i!
won them victories throughput the.
season. The very first scrimmage shewed
that Yale had che ability to carry on a
stubborn defense The Tale line, and par
ticularly its center, had been considered
far Inferior to Harvard's but in the first
ten minutes of play there wnp unmistak
able evidence that the Yale foi wards had
become fast, that they were unex >c ie ly
stront?, and that their downfall could 0 ly
be accomplished by an unusually brilliant
end vicious Harvard attack.
FORTUNE FAVORED HARVARD.
Fortune was with the young men fr.nn
Cambridge when they won the u>s«. and
Capt. Burden promptly ches-* the west
goal, with it? favoring wind. The situa
tion which developed from the kiofeoff dis
closed at once a Yale weakness in her
ends, for the Harvard backs, after catch
ing punts, carried the ball down through
a broken field with a speed to> great for
the Yale m»n. Throughout the gam-, in
ff.ct. Harvard's most striking gains were
made in this rr.nnner. The battle early
n*olved itself into a kicking contest,
wherein Meßride easily excelled Harv
ard's punters, so that the visitors not
only kept the leather out of danger, but
often gained yards in an exchange. Yale
discerned this fact, and changed her tac
tics to line plunging and end runs. With
great effect Harvard backs dived though
the Yale lines. This resulte,! in pood
gains until Harvard had carried the I>tll
to Yale's two-yard line. It was at th'.s
time, however, that Yale's old bull dog
spirit displayed itself, for in gran.\ style
she held fast and stepped the ball.
Yale's followers had scarcely drawn out
their sigh of relief, when a fair catch by
Harvard of a Yale punt gave the crimson
another chance to score. Here Burden
made an attempt at goal from the fie.d.
It went wild, and with It Harvard's
chance for victory for the first half. Dur
inpr the rest of the half the game was
mostly In the center of the gridiron, with
Harvard showing remarkable bursts of
form and speed, and Yale meeting every
onslaught with beautiful certainty.
STARTED WITH A RUSH.
Both teams started the second half with
a rush. While the Harvard mm difl not
appear to full strength It was noticeable
the Yale men were more active. They
played with greater speed, and quickly
had the ball into Harvard territory. Al
most the entire half saw the play in Har
vard's territory. Repeatedly Yale rushed
the ball down the field, only to be met
with brilliant stands by Harvard. Twice
Yale carried the ball to Harvard's twen
ty-five-yard line, but had to retreat be
fore the crimson be -cc, Vole resorting to
the rarely-seen tactics of taking the ball
back two yards in preference to the risk
of losing it on downs. With the period
about half over, the Yale eleven played
