Harvard 20: Brown O.

Cambridge. Mass, Oct 26.-Harvard
had no difficulty in defeating Brown-29
to O. Brown made the required five
yards in but one instance throughout
the game. The contest was made up
almost entirely of mass plays through
the center and between the tackles and
guards. Lemoye's kicking was one of
the strong features of the Harvard
game, but except in one or two instances
the Harvard backs were unable to make
more than five or ten yards in running
back Browns kicks. A notable feature
at the start was, when on Browns kick
off, Nichols caught the ball on his own
seven yard line and ran the length of
the field for a touchdown. The first half
ended with the score % to in favor of
Harvard. Nichols. soon after the start
of the second half, practically duplica-
tel his feat of the early part of the game
catching a punt on the Brown 10 yard
line and skirting along the edge of the
field across the goal line for the fifth,
and what proved to be the last touch
down of the game.

places Of business again soon, the
breweries are hauling their goods away
as fast as they can get permits from
Chief Murray to open their doors long

stocks are being transferred to the sa-
looms of Missouri. The entire stocks of
many of the saloons in Armourdale and
the First ward and of a few on Min
nesota avenue were taken out Satur-
day. Chief Murray said that within a
week he believed there would not be a
drop of liquor in any of the places for
merIy occupied by Joints
Chief Murray did not strictly request
any of the breweries to remove their
goods, but he suggested that it might
prevent future trouble if they would do
so. AS a result the Helm, Rochester,
Greentree, Val Blatz and Eylar COM
panies have already been given written
permits to get their stuff away SO

but this is expected to follow the re-
moval of the stocks In many cases.

dividual property of the men who Op
Grated the places.
There were only a few independent
saloons here. In most of these cases
the proprietor owned the building in
which the stock was kept. AS yet this
class of jointists has done nothing
toward removing the goods. but is ex-
pected to do so soon. Where the stocks
are being taken away officers have
been stationed to prevent any attempt
at selling the liquor. When the doors
are opened the officers require the per
init to be shown before thew will allow
any INTERRUPTION of the goods.
