NO GREAT REJOICING
ON HARVARD CAMPUS
New York Sun Special Service.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 27.-Real war began
on Soldiers field yesterday afternoon when
Coach Reid put his teams thru the first scrim-
mage Of the year. The work disappointing.
In ten-minute period the second team scored
on the varsity and made the veterans look like
schoolboys.
OBrien, the freshman end, let Lockwood, the
Splinter, circle him for fifteen yards, and Blair,
way for a similar gain. Brill of last years
team showed up poorly at tackle, Fultz more
than holding his against him.
McFadden was not out, having a business
matter to attend to. His place was taken by
Paul, who played low and made rather a feeble
impression. After the practice Spear, a new
comer was tried at left tackle in Brills place
on the varsity. Carr, another tackle, was out
with side. A promising addition to the
squad Bob Guild, sub fullback of last-year' s
eleven. The punting poor.
