l5ptridse Mass. Nov. 14-Harvard came back
80 dartmouth in the second half OF the fercest
gYe of football seen in the stadium this year this
afternoon before nearly forty thousand spectators
and wiped out the defeat Of last year by beating
me powerful from Hanover, fresh from its
victory over Princeton a week ago, by score
Of 10 O. The Crimson demonstrated its superiority
.t every point Of the game, and the result was
never in doubt after the middle Of the first half
Smashing line plays, brilliant of the forward
pass ana attack varied in its dash and
briianc- that the men who outplayed and beat
the Tigers q week ego could not stand against it
1T al. gave Harvard the victory. There was no
score IN the first half but the resistless Harvard
stack coalesced in the second half and the Grim
sen taking the bali on its own 23-yard line, swept
down the field to 2 touchdown without once losing
the hall. Even a 15-yard penalty useless in
checking the mighty march down the field, for
ward pass more than making up the lost ground.
Harvard showed a powerful defence at every
staee Of The game. and broke up the forward pass
time after time Cutler proved adept in the
play himself and used II with telling effect placing
his throws well and keeping his head splendidly in
every crisis that arose. The Harvard line was
more than a match for the heavy forwards OF the
Zig Green team. and more brilliant work than that
