High School Players Crippled, Are Vic

Worcester high school men claim an

in their claim, for they We're allowed to

made.
The touchdown came in the second
half. Quill of the Holyoke eleven FUN
bled the ball on the Holyoke 40-yard
line. Dowd of the Worcester tSal'N

for a touchdown. At that time ami

being cognizant of his jurisdiction,
claimed the ball was dead when Dowd
picked it up. When Amidon ruled that
1t was not, and showed that he had
authority over the ball, Sawin was

Harvard Beats West
Pointers by a
Big Score.
EIGHTEEN TO NOTHING.
Army Men Put Up a
Fine Defensive
Game.
EIGHTEEN TO NOTHING.

West Point, N. Y, Oct. 14.-Four
thousand persons witnessed an exciting
football game this afternoon between
the military academy team and that of
Harvard. Harvard won by a score of
IS to 0. The West Pointers put up a
fine defensive game from start to finish.
They did good offensive work at times,
but Harvard was so strong that much
of the distance was well-nigh impossi-
BILE
Harvard won the toss and took the
south field, as the wind favored that
side. West Point kicked off and made
a poor kick, which was run up by Har-
ward to her 40-yard line. Harvard made
short gains and kicked to West Points
2O-yard line. A tumble by West Points
back gave Harvard the ball on West
Points 20-yard line. Harvard, by her
strong end run and plunges through the
center, made a touchdown after three
minutes play. Harvard kicked an easy
goal.
West Point kicked off, Harvard re-
turning the kick, which was caught by
Ennis al West Points 40-yard line.
Harvard later ran around West Points
left end for 30 yards, the ball seemingly
being put in play before West Point
was ready. BY successive rushes Har-
ward scored a second touchdown in the
first half. Harvard kicked an easy
goal.
Time was called with the ball on Har-
wards 36yard line.
HarVlrd's team remained on the
field; West Point came out. Harvard
kicked off, West Point got the ball on
Harvards 45-yard line. After a loss of
two yards, Ennis kicked the ball out of
bound at West Points 25-yard line.
West Point kicked to the left of the
field and Harvard ran the ball up to
West Points 25-yard line on the left.
Harvard made several plunges through
West Points left guard, and finally
forced the ball to West Points 10-yard
line. West Point held for downs, and
a poor kick cut of bounds gave Harvard
the ball once more on West Points 25-
yard line. By violent plunges Harvard
| gained two or three yards at time I'M
| til she got to West Points 10-yard line.
| West Point got the ball for off-side
| play, and it was returned to Harvard
| for the same offence. Harvard tried
the center again, and had to force her
back across the side line on the third
down. The ball was carried out 10
yards, and West Point held for downs.
| Harvard now got the ball for off-side
play and made the only touchdown of
the second half. A punt out gave Har-
ward an easy try for goal.
! West Points defensive work was
magnificent for several minutes just be-
fore the touchdown, and as fine as has
ever been seen on the field.
But for an unfortunate tumble by
| West Point in the first, Harvard's score
would have been but IL instead Of IS.
The tackling was good and little more
practice will make the team as strong
one as West Point has recently put in
the field. Only two of the men are vet
