HARVARD WINS IN
A FIERCE CONTEST
SinqIe Touchdown Made in an
Onslaught That Was
IrreSiSt-
ibIe.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. November A.
Harvard's offense overcame the stubborn
Dartmouth defense in the last part of the
second half of their annual foot ball game
in the stadium today, and by splendid
demonstration of all forms of attack the
Crimson won. to 0. Dartmouth fought
fiercely and during the first half the rival
elevens appeared evenly matched. but in
the second half the superior weight of
the Crimson team enabled it to pierce the
Hanoverans' line for substantial gains.
The story Of Harvard's single touch
down is a STORY of an onslaught that
could not be resisted. Receiving the ball
on their own 22-yard line, the Crimson
carried it right down the field to the
Dartmouth goal line.
Corbett Distinguishes Himself.
The brunt of the work of the victorious
eleven fell on the men behind the line
eight of whom played in the game. Cor
bett distinguished himself at left half
back. and when he had used all his
strength in telling plunges at the Green
line Leslie took his place and repeated
his performances. White and Long were
also ground gamers. while kennard's punt
ing and Verweibe's line plays were
notable.
For Dartmouth, Marks at fullback
played splendid game. Repeatedly he
was hurled at the Crimson line, and gen.
orally for gains. Pollard. who replaced
Hawley, was also a great ground gamer
distinguishing himself especially by max
ing plunge for 81 yards through the
Harvard line shortly before the Crimson
began their irresistible march down the
field.
The Harvard ends were down the field
at every punt and generally managed
to drop the Dartmouth runners in their
tracks.
The first half was principally a kicking
game. Crimson and Green appeared
evenly matched and when the half ended
many believed that the game would be a
scoreless one.
Harvard Scores.
In the first of the second half punts
were freely exchanged. Finally Harvard
secured the ball on kick on her own
22-yard line. Line plunges by verweibe
and Leslie brought the ball down to Har-
wards 52-yard line. Harvard was penal
play, and then three forward passes land
ed the ball on Dartmouth's 9-yard
line. Leslie circled Dartmouth's left end
for yards, Verweibe pierced the
center for yards. and then Leslie
carried the ball over for a touchdown.
Mackay kicked an easy goal. The game
ended with the ball in Harvards posses
sion on her own 31-yard line
