Harvard. leaving all Of that work for

gains by mass-ilay directed against
tackle or guard. In line-backing, Arm

brilliant game at the other end, being on
hand whenever he WIS needed.
II is difficult TO pick any flaws in the
Hawards work. but their line lacked
alertness and snap. which cannot be dis
pensed with in a winning team. Captain
Lea broke his collar-bone about the mid
die of the second hale ana from this
point Cochrane captained The Tiger. ana
showed himself very capable in this posi-
ton. He handled his men well. and only
once did he order a play which would
have been better omitted.
Neither side scored in tho first half. but
