The one thing that has consistently
marked Harvsrds progress in the art OF
football this season vas not lacking on Sat
urday against Da-tmouth-that IS a power
20 smash a way down the field against any
defence that appears IN the opposing team.
The hrst touchdown FOR the Harvard team
came after thirty-hve yards OF ordinary
bucldng. the ball having been obtained on
a tumble. and after that there was a steady
march ot s.xty-three yards before a for
