MIDDIES HOLD
HARVARD EVEN
PROVE QUITE A BIG SURPRISE
ALL AROUND
DrizzIing Rain Falls Throughout Con-
test, but Sailors Seem Wholly at
Home in the Water and Put
Up Great Battle
TBy Associated Press,l

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 24.-The
navy and Harvard football teams
played each other to standstiu at
the navy academy this afternoon, the
final score being to 6. From the
viewpoint of good football of a varie--
gated sort the midshipmen outplayeo
their opponents.
When the first half ended there had
been a battle royal, resulting in the
blue and gold crossing the crimson
line within seven minutes after play
commenced.
Harvard had not scored, nor had she
been dangerous to the hitherto un"
crossed naval goal line. The crimson
score was made about the middle OF
the second half and was on a fiuke.
j. T. Doughty Nourse, from his place
in the center of the Harvard line, got
out and dashed away with a recovered
ball on a 60-yard run to the goal.
There was drizzling rain that fell
at intervals during the contest. 1t
was 2:44 q. m. when Capt. Burr kicked
off to Lange, almost under the navy
goal posts. The navy punted almost
at once and the midshipmen had the
pigskin in midfield. Almost before the
Harvard men knew what was happen
ing the midshipmen had worked a for
ward pass from Lange to Reiffsnider.
Before the blue and gold was downed
he had landed the leather deep in
Harvards territory.
Immediately the same signal was
given and the same play was repeated.
This time Reiffsneider caught the ball
Just as he was. crossing the Harvard
goal line. He was not touched until
he had trotted squarely behind the
goal posts. Capt. Northcroft kicked
clean goal.
Only seven minutes had elapsed
since the ball was put into play. The
remainder of the half was largely
punting duel, in which Dalton, the navy
halfback, who is considered the find of
the season, held his own with Burr.
Harvard came back for the second
half dogged and determined and began
to try to bore holes in the navy line,
and for the first time the crimson backs
were able to make something like con-
sistent gains. Finally Nourse bounded
out from among the pile OF players
with the pigskin. No one seemed to
know what had happened, except
Lange, but before he could get out of
the tangle Nourse was on his run to
the goal, go yards away, and never was
headed. Burr kicked the goal and tied
the score.
Navy went back with renewed de-
termination and three times forced
her way almost to within reaching dis
tance of the Harvard goal, but that
was all.

BY RED PERKINS

The opening of the Southern Califor-
MIA Soccer league will be a week from
today, and, judging from the practice
games played during the past six weeks.
a fast league has been organized. Sew
eral speedy players have arrived during
the past month and joined the various
clubs.
The first series of games will be
played at Agricultural park, and the
goal posts and nets have been laid out
already. The&Thistles and the Los An
geles teams have played several prac-
tice games and have signed up some
good material. The Rangers have
nearly all new players and will be conf
PEELED to use untried men in the various
positions. They will play a friendly
game with the Los Angeles club this
afternoon on the Agricultural park
field.
Both clubs will be in fine condition
for the opening of the season. At the
last meeting of the Rangers Thursday
night Archie Mitchell was chosen cap
tain. He will be of great strength to
this team, as he is considered one of
the fastest players now in Southern
in the ranks of the various clubs will
be his brother, John Mitchell. who will
play on the back field and gives promise
of being good material.
William McCubbin will arrive from
Oregon the latter part of this week and
will be seen in his old position on the
wing. Other Rangers players are Fred
Lincoln and William McCombe, both
very tricky. The president of the club.
DR.. G. c. Jarvis, will act as custodian.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.-The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and Carlisle
Indian football teams played each 9TH
er to a standstill this afternoon, the
final score being to 6. The biggest
crowd that ever saw the annual game
between these teams was present
%, 900 in all.
Pennsylvania scored the first touch
down before the game was ten minutes
old. The Indians reversed this In the
second half when they scored. Penn
syivania had the better of the argu-
ment in the first half, while the Indi-
ans had things much their own way in
the second half.
The much dreaded Thorpe tried three
goals from the placement, but all
failed. Pennsylvania likewise tried for
one field goal, but Marks missed it only
by few feet. The wet ball, due to the
rain which fell all morning and during
most of the second half had much to
do with the poor Kicking and fumbling.
New football was conspicuous by it's
absence, the game being in direct con-
trast with most of the contests be-
tween Pennsylvania and the Indians.
The forward pass was used several
times but did not work well fer either
team. The lineup:

ARROWHEAD TEAM DEFEATED
EASILY
Traeger's Eleven Have Little Diff

Their Goal Endangered
Several Times
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. ga
splendid exhibition of the old-style of
football was witnessed this afternoon
at the Meadow Brook Park athletic
field when the University of Southern
California strong eleven defeated the
Arrowhead team of this city by a
score of % to 0.
While the figures are bit one-sided
they do not tell the real story of the
game, which was fiercely contested
from the first toot of the whistle to
the last call for time, and the only
reason that the Arrowhead team did
not score was because of a lack of
training, their team work being slight
ly faulty, the coaching of the varsity
players telling against their oppon-
ents.
The Arrowheads started in to play a
whirlwind game and the varsity goal
was in danger several times in the
first ten minutes of play, but the locals
then seemed to lose their steam and
the college boys scored easily.
The first half ended II to 0, while
the balance of the score, II points,
were made in the second half.
For the locals, Scott, the fast quar-
terback, with Huyck, L. Cox, and Cas-
tro were the stars. Scott made a run
of more than half the length of the
field but it was not allowed.
For the varsity. Ickes, Captain Bu-
reck and Haegler starred.
The game was devoid of brilliant
plays.
Traeger, coach for the university,
paid the Arrowheads a high compli-
ment for the style of play they put up.
