CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 6-After resting yester-
day the Harvard varsity eleven was put
through the hardest practice scrimmaEe that
tosnettSs4r" and played some saappy football.
In twenty minutes the re Gulars scored three
times on the subs, the forward pass and onsfde
kick gaining considerable distance at VARIOUS
times. A triple pass was introduced this
afternoon and IL worked well. The pass
from the quarterback to the halfback was
parallel and then the halfback passed for ward
TO the end. Capt Foster made a fine run OF
as yards around the end, using his free arm
very skilfully in wardinR on tacklers. In
one of these line plays through guard on
which Harvard Ia getting her best team play,
Wendell was put over for q touchdown from
the rs yard line. Newhall was played at
quarterback to-day and Wendell was kept
al fullback during the greater part Of the
scrimmaRe, Inches was put back at right
tackle on the varsity. where he played In the
Williams game. During his forced absence
by an injury none OF the men tried at his
position showed up as well as he did in the
first game, and he will be kept at the position
FOR the present. When the varsity got
through with the second. the varsity subs
we're sent against the second for fifteen
minutes and scored twice. The features Of
this work were the 20 yard run by Lincoln
around the end and the defensive work by the
scrubs, which held the subs on the ? yard line
and forced them to make three plays for a
touchdown from the 4 yard line.
