The ball is kicked down the field and as none of the Harvard backs seemed to be awake Yale gets the ball, and Morrison kicks to Sears who is at once thrown. Piper makes a long rush of thirty-five yards, and Perry gains fifteen yards but Yale gets the ball at length about the middle of the field.

The suit consists of a dark crimson, thickly knit jersey with a white "H," a canvas jacket, crimson stockings and belt, and breeches of thick mole-skin of a creamy white. These are the features of the uniform. They have a thick hair mattress padding on each knee and each hip, and cling close to the leg just below the knee.
