Harvard's Most Effective Play.

Harvard's most effective play was an in
side kick proceeded by a fake interfer-
ence and a delayed pass The ball was
directed by Newhall in the opposite drec-
ton from the interference, and it dropped
where several crimson Jackets were ready
to seize it before a MILDLY was there. This
play enabled them to hold the ball fire.
quently. They were not so successful with
the forward pass, and this play was in
tercepted twice bq Lange and once by
Douglass, and at other times resulted i'll a
penalty for striking the ground before it
was touched. Harvard's formation to pre-
vent such plays was excellent.
The Navy had in new arrangement of
both line and backfield, and it's play
under these conditions was good. The
Navy contingent is especially pleased
that Capt. Douglass could last the whole
game, and play such good ball. He made
a run of twenty-five yards and two of
fifteen yards each, from a fake kick for
nation. The line was d heavy ono prob
ably the heaviest that the Navy has ever
put in the field. Shafroth. who weighs
well over 200 pounds. opposed Butt, and
was fully his equal, while man to man the
Navy line had somewhat the better of its
crimson jacketed opponents.
How the Score Was Made.
The only scoring was done in the lat
ter part of the first half, when after Capt,
Douglas of the Navy had made a beauti-

iurther, and he was forced to try an on
side kick. This was intercepted by Butt
for Harvard. The visitors Immediately
resorted to Butts toe for delayed kick
which was covered BIZ Fish when Dague
fun:bed This was on the 15-yard line
and the Crimson then hammered its way
to a score, w. Pierce making the touch
down and Butt kicking goal. The game
was fiercely fought from start to finish.
NGvy's goal line would probably not have
been crossed had it not been for several
severe and costly fumbles on exchanges
of kicks.
The best individual work for Navy was
done by Capt Douglas, Jones and Dague
Navy supporters were brought to their
feet time after time by the stands made

Visitors Swept Off Their Feet.

On the resumption of play the visitors
were swept off their feet, and Pennsyi-
vania quickly had the ball within five
yards of another touchdown, when a pen
atty for holding turned the tide. Reagan's
attempt to kick field goal was blocked.
and after that the ball see-sawed up and
down the field until within a few min
utes of the end of the half, when Brown
braced The visitors got the ball in
midfield, and by dashing line work soon
had the ball on Pennsylvania five-yard
line. The Red and Blue team was plain

the whistle
In the second half the play was almost
entirely in Browns territory. Near the
close Pennsylvania got the ball on her
opponents thirty-five-yard line. and in
five plays scored the second touchdown.

The mule not only plays an inpor-
tant part in the development of coal
in this county, but likewise he is the
cause Of several cases of litigation
that reach the courts. There is one
personal damage case against the
Smoky Hollow Coal Company, in which
the damage is asked because the mule
kicked man. Another case of SIM
liar nature, and in which the mule is
the main cause of the trouble, is a
case against the Hooking Coal Com
pany. This case is one in which Will
lam Flockhart asks damages against
the company for $4,000, and he bases
his claim on the fact that the mule he
was driving while working in the coal
mine baked on "knuckle' and the
cars were allowed to run over his foot,
after they had started. The plaintiff
brings the action claiming the "knuc-
kle" was faulty, but If the mule had
attended to the work that is expected
of him, there would have been no use
in getting before the car, and the &C
cident never would have happened.
