FAIRCHILD SUCCUMBS TO AN INJURY.
At this point of the game FairchHd. who had
kept steadying influence behind the line, was
sent through the centre. ana received another
slight blow on his head similar to the one which
laid him I'D several weeks earlier in the fall He
might possibly have played on-he was anxious
enough to do so. certainly-but the doctors were
too much afraid that another blow on MS al

HARVARD STILL FULL OF HOPE
On the whole al the end of the first half. Har-
wards chances were even for winning the game
and several bets We're made then OF 500 even on
the result Of the game. The only thing that was
uncertain was whether the Harvard team man

would permit il 10 play as well in the second hair
as they had in the first. and TINS proved 10 ne
the real stumbling block after all. Inc fehh-
