HISTORY REPEATS IN Y-H CONTEST Blue and Crimson Fought 35 Years Ago in Sea of Mud —_— A tradition in college circles has it that the weather has never caused the postponement of the annual gridiren clash between Yale and Harvard. To- day, the elements are not as angry and the field is not as muddy as 25 years ago at Yale field, New Haven. It was Saturday, November 19, and all the night before, torrents of rain had fallen on the field even as the downpour kept up last night, and when the hour fer the kickoff ap- proached, it was found that the rain was still falling and the field was a veritable sea of water and mud. The following excerpt taken from the Her- ald of 25 years ago will give a goed idea of the conditions on that day when Harvard won from Yale by the score of 17 to 0: “Despite the flood, fully 4,000 heroes and heroines braved the storm and the rain soaked bleachers to see the greatest game of the year. The gridiron itself was a sight entirely un- fit for words. Directly in front of the south goal in front of where a kick would be made after a touchdown, was about 50 square yards of water fully three inches deep and there were similar ponds scattered frequently over the bafance of the field. At 2 o'clock it rained fully as hard as it had early in the morning and when the players appeared on the field, it could be seen that their feet wers nearly buried to the ankles in the mud. At every step, water splashed high and on one tackle, a player's face was entirely submeregd in water. However, the game went on, with Har vard winning through the efforts of Haughton, by the score of 17 to 0." ARMY-NAYY MASCOTS The West Point Mule This Year is Opposed By a Goat With An Uncertain Reputation 24.—Jack, the for years hag New York, Nov. Army mule which brayed loyally for the West Point eleven, today had the shock of his life when he learned that he would face across the field a Navy goat with & far from spotless past, For old Bill, the bucko which in the past has been paraded at Army- Navy games hus been banished for nibbling palms in the Hotel Commo- dore and chewing handies off grips in the baggage car. In his place stands Willis—an amazing angora from Texas, reputed to have engaged in hootlcgging before he joined the navy. To look at the silken-coated bucko today no onc would belleve he had & past, but there came to town with him a terrible reputation, to the ef- fect that in his youth, when he be- longed to & band of Mexican smug- glers, he had been taught to swim the Rio Grande with bottles of illieit beverage tled about his neck. Willis spent the night before game in a riding academy. Jack, housed atop the hotel Astor roof, hee-hawed rafher contemptuously when he heard of it—despite the fact that Willis' stall was silk-lined that ho might preserve his spotiess ap- pearance, the MILLION DOLLAR FIRE Third of Business Section of “Ol Ti- juana,” Mexico, is Devastated By Flames During Night.
