HARVARD, 11, Yale, 3, was the joyous news heralded from New Haven, and Harvard rejoiced to have gained a victory in the enemy's country, and repaid with interest the defeat received on the home-grounds. At least thirty-five hundred people were present to behold Yale's easy victory over Harvard, and the blue was everywhere conspicuous before the game...
