| CAMBRlDGE, Mass, NOV. 1.-Shat-
tered, battered and helplessly fighting
against heavy odds, the crippled team
of Harvard fell before the prowess of
old Nassau yesterday afternoon and to-
night the Tiger is triumphant in victory.

end. The pace at times had been terrific.
There had been many fierce assault

out silent and motionless on the sod,
like so many logs. Delay after delay
came from the successive injuries, but
with grim determination and grit, player

faithfully back into the game. 1t was
Clean manly football, however, such as
delighted the tremendous crowd pres
ent. There was no end Of brilliant plays,
plenty of Embarrassing encounters and
exciting moments, but from scientific
football standpoint the game lacked the
splendid organization of force and the
brilliant tactics which characterized so
many memorable battles on Hampden
park and Mannheim field. The game in
miniature shows how Harvard started in
playing entirely on the defensive. They
repulsed the Tigers fierce attacks but
hardly ever attempted to advance the
ball themselves. They played more
strongly than they knew, and their first
half, in which neither team crossed the
coveted goal line, was superb battle.
The second half saw a change of tactics.
Harvard started out on the offensive and
Princeton took up the task of defending
their territory with such good effect that
aided materially by Baird's splendid
kicking their goal was never placed in
jeopardy.
The weatheu was ideal for football,
and there were 5000 people present.
Princeton played a compact interfer-
shape Of turtle back which revolved on
tackle, or driving tandem play in the
same direction. Their interference ran
smoothly and clearly and though of an
entirely different type from Harvards
was far superior in form and organiza-
ton. The Harvard backs played some
distance from the line and often with
| guard or tackle in the formation with
them. 1t was not until the second half
that they began to rush the ball, and
then, worn out and badly shattered, the
interference lacked the essential speed
in getting away as well as steady form

potent factor in the result. He punted
in superb form. Brown on the other.

long punts in the first ten minutes of
