HARVARD WINS GAME
New Haven, Nov 21. Football
history written on the records of
. American universities shows that
seven years ago a team wearing crim
son colors battled with and defeated
Yale in this premier sport. Three
years before anothed Harvard team
had won a battle and meantime there
hud been no score game. Harvard
In an even quarter of a century has
had but three victories over Yale not
including a forfeited game to her
just twenty years ago." Since : 1 S94
Harvard has not scored a point
against her worthy rivals except in
the years of victory. Harvard is here
to-day battling with all the power
within her men 'to add one more shin
ing bar upon her athletic shield. Out
on Yale field more than 35,000 peo
ple are massed to witness the. great
Bt niggle, 'and the struggle is expect
ed to rank, with the best, ever, played
'thla country. Almost, evenly di
vided In their allegiance to the teams
these thousands of peaople may be
expected to cheer themselves into a
tsate of frenzy, and delight'over the
battle for the stake which has a
value above price.
The weather to-day was ideal for
the game. Frost lay like snow on
the straw thatch which has protect
ed the gridiron within the quad
rangle of banked seats on Yale field,
but the morning sun caused this to
quickly disappear and the moisture
did not penetrate beneath. The at
mosphere makes furs and winter gar
ments comfortable hut it is not cold
enough to nip and wither the huge
musses of violets worn by the fair
sex who have Yale sympathies, or the
huge and showy clusters of gorgeous
i chrysanthemums worn by those
young women who were anxious, to
have the Crimson. win. The gather
ing as usual was one of color and
ctiiklng effects fit for the brush of
the impressionist painter. '. .-, .
The Yale team which stayed at the
college infirmary last night to be out
of the excitement which prevailed ev.
erywhere, went out to the Country
club during tho forenoon returning
at noon for luncheon at the New Ha
ven house. The Harvard squad came
down from Farmington shortly after
11 o'clock and also went to the same
place for luncheon. Afterwards the
players went to gymnasiums to pre
pare for the game. - --
One football day In New Haven Is
very much like another. The crowd
pours in early, marches up and down
the streets for a few hours, swarms
over the college section, and then
about noon drifts out by many ave
nues of approach to Yale field, the
wiser ones taking out their lunches
to eat in the open air. Down town
restaurants and stores have more
business than they can attend to, as
the city cannot easily digest for the
time being the thousands which sud
denly swoop down upon her. This
year the percentage of out of town
people was greater than. ever. Few
New Haveners without -college
' friends had tickets to the game and
the railroad had to extend Itself to
handle the visitors. Thirty-six spe
cial rains came In during the fore
noon. In the early hours the crowd
wore Yale colors mostly. Towards
noon the trains from the east began
unloading the supporters of Harvard
and Crimson banners, armlets and
chrysanthemums of ruddy hue soon
vied with the Blue as the most no
ticeable color. Banners ot other col-
' leges looked ' lonesome although
: bravely displayed by loyal supporters
of those institutions, the orange and
' black of Princeton being the most
readily recognized. Itinerant mer
chants lined the sidewalks with sou
venirs of the day.
Some ticket selling ia said to have
- been in evidence during the morning
but' many deputy sheriffs and city
constables scurried here and there
- running down reports that specula
tor were busy. Arriving college
' men went to the ticket department to
: see If any tickets had been returned
but this year very few tickets came
back. The prospects for the game
were everywhere discussed. Yale
men were Just as confident as those
from Cambridge. The belief was
that Yale's strength would be pitted
against Harvard's speed. When the
college year opened Yale had on pa
per the beat material In years. , In
the line and behind that bulwark the
men were giants for strength among
their fellows. Coy, at fullback, was
the strongest man in college until
displaced by Rllpatrlck whose ankle
injury this week put him out of to
day's game. These men seasoned by
training, and drilled in 'the funda
mentals of football which have been
such a foctor In yearB past In Yale's
winning games, were sent upon the
field to-day. The backfield la the
same as selected for last year's game
aglanst Harvard until an Injury to
Wheaton compelled a change. The
weakness all season has been at quar
terback. No player In that position
has been able to make - the Yale
strength act as a unit. In Corey who
rallied the team In the second, half
of the Princeton game, the coaches
believe that Yale's strength will be
made, cohesive on defense and spur
red to activity on the offense, and
with these, elements In full play Yale
believes that the Crimson once again
will be swept to defeat.
Harvard is equally. confident as her
team is pointed to as one of the best
developed in years, wtlh men pos
sessed of full knowledge of the game
and with the finer points of the re
vised game thoroughly mastered.
Both teams have a strong string sof
substitutes.

constantly slnie yesterday forenoon

Brooklyn, taw many hours of labor

While Is was believed possible that
Borne of the bodies might be found

of the work estimated that at least
two days would Fas before all the
bodies are recovered. The most con
servative estimates to-day place the
number of dead at about 25. This
number of persons was reported
missing late last night and not one
of the misting ones had been found
early to-day. "The same strong po

SCALPING.
Indian Tradition That Telli the Origin
of tho .Custom.
According to tbe Indian tradition,
scalping arose in this wise:
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
years ago, when all tbe Indians In the
world were of one tribe and under one
chief, there arose a dispute in the tribe
as to who should succeed the old chief,
who had Just died without issue. There
were two principal aspirants to the
honor, each having a considerable fol
lowing. The dispute finally ended
with strife and war, and for the first
time in the history was "brothers'
blood shed by brothers.".
The chief of one ot the factions bad
a beautiful daughter, and one of the
bravest warriors was a suitor for her
band Her father , consented to the
match on one condition that tbe
young brave should Journey to the
camp of the enemy, many miles away
through the deep snow, kill the chief,
his rival, and return with some .unmis
takable token of: his death. In spite
of the snow and? the distance, the
young man Immediately set out on his
Journey and, after lyingf in ambush
for several days, finally entered tne
camp, boldly attacked the chief in hia
tent, slew him and cut off his bead.
: Next morning the murder was dis

anxiety to ; elude his pursuers cast

clothing, retaining only his stone knife
and the trophy which was to win him
his bride. '
His pursuers gained rapidly until
finally so near did they come he could
hear them on his trail. His grewsome
burden grew heavier and heavier, and
as a last resort he whipped out his
knife. Stripped the scalp from the head
of tbe dead man and, thns lightened
of his load, reached his own camp In
safety, presented to his chief the token
of his prowess and was wed, amid
great rejoicing, to the damsel of Hia
choice. :
From thenceforth he was permitted

upon tbe number of scalps he has tak
