but there was not an objectionhble feature IN
the whole game, and the Indians got a splendid
r.c.ntion. Al! through this battle thousands
were cheering for the plucky red men. and their
,rsotment was not q bit less enthusiastic than
that accorded to Harvard.
Harvard was fighting under heavy odds. She
played four substitutes in her line to start with,
and was forced to bring out three moro before
the close of the game, but the eleven developed
remarkable power on the defensive. Their

but had the ball over the line, was one of the
finest teats ever seen on any Cridiron.
The Indians made telling gains through the
Crimson line from start to finish, but at the
critical moment tho Harvard men never failed.
Such plucky resistance was a revelation 10 her
supporters. and in keeping the aborigines from
seoring Harvard has done what both Yale and
Princeton failed to do.
The Indians PLAYED football from start to
finish. Their Interference was close and compact
and went into the line with tremendous power,
but their careful slowness in starting each play
gave the Harvard men n chance to nail the play

A significant point in the contest was that the
