Harvard had the west end of the field with the sun and wind at her back, and Yale was in possession of the ball. Yale opened the game with a V, Barbour holding the ball; by this maneuver they gained ten yards. Upton broke through the Yale line finely on the next two scrimmages, and prevented any gain. Yale could not gain the necessary five yards by the next rush, so the ball went to Harvard. It was passed to Fearing who ran around the end and gained twenty-five yards.

It would be easy to plan a slide of considerable length on these fields. The expense...
