took a brace and its tandem formation car
ried the ball to the Chicago ffteen-yard
line, where Farnsworth was pushed over
the line for a touchdown. Hackett punted
out for a trial at goal, but the ball went
over Princes head and the opportunity to

Chicago scored in the second half after

which made the score 6 to 5 in Chicago'S

Harvard displayed great weakness. Fun
