YALE WINS

Soldiers Field, November 25, 1905.--Harvard and Yale met this afternoon in the Stadium in the annual football game. Fully an hour before the time set for the game, the crowd of 41,000 people had begun to arrive on the field; the Harvard stands filled first.

At 1.30 o'clock the University band took their places in front of the cheering section and began to play Harvard airs. Hardley a cloud was in the sky and the air was scarcely bracing enough for good football. The warm weather favored the lighter Yale team. A stiff southwest wind was blowing diagonally across the field.

The field was in excellent conditions, and the wind that blew all the morning has removed all traces of last night's shower.

At 1.45 the band started "Out Director" and the Harvard section, led by Stephenson, joined in the chorus, everyone giving a cheer at the end.

Yale led off by a cheer for Harvard, which was quickly answered from the opposite side of the field. The Yale band then started "Boola," which was quickly followed by "On Soldiers Field," the new Harvard song.

At exactly 2 o'clock the Yale team came on the field, and it was given loud cheers by the Yale and Harvard sections. After passing around the ball for a minute they lined up for signals.

Two minutes later Knowlton led the Harvard team came on the field, amid tremendous cheers. They also lined up for signals. Yale also lined up for signals. Yale then tried a few punts.

A cheer was given for Captain Hurley by the Harvard stand.

Knowlton won the toss and chose to receive the Kick-off defending the south goal.
