The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-10-31

by a misplaced forward pass but re- covered almost immediately, gave Harvard it's first touchdown. Brown tied the score. after Harvard had lost forty-one yards on two infringements of the rules. Two long forward pass es, handled faultlessly by Adams and Ashbaugh. Adams and Capt. Sprack- ling brought ball, almost half. field distance from where Penney shirted the end for a touchdown.
 But that was the end of Brown. Harvard began to show it's versatility A pass over the centre of the rush line was caught by Smith, after which Milholland was rushed out on the side lines. Standing about twenty-five yards from the goal line. Milholland sent the ball spinning between the posts. So ended the first half; but, gathering power, Harvard pounded and pounded away until not only were the Brown backs beaten down from their offensive work but from the defensive play they were called upon to do besides.
 It has. been stated that Harvard's backfield was power, a tremendous fighting unit. But so was the line. The much-mooted left flank. with Les- lie at guard and Hitchcock at tackle showed surprising improvement. Capt. Fisher and Gardiner, guard and tackle of the opposite side were bit better PCIudPSy DQl dh PAdhSCo tiIi OuShs piled up plays, cracked interferences or else tore gaping holes in the Brown front through which stormed the Crimson backs. Especially brilliant was the quarterback play of Potter.
 Again he showed that rare knack hand steady on the levers of the great machine or else skirting away on some offensive sally of his own. Yes, Percy D. Haughton had just cause for jubilation. Wonder, though. what Paul Wilmington thinks? A week ago he said: There's no excuse for the crude unfinished football that Harvard is playing"
 It is we'll that Princeton showed inn provement against Holy Cross. 1t was needed. So is lot more inn provement if Harvard is to be met successfully on Saturday. Holy Cross, expected to make trouble; but did not. been larger if But that is what disappointed many who made the trip down to the jungle It was the old Princeton fault in evidence-the i'm ability to whip over the final punch when your man is wabbling. In oth- CT words. Princeton seemed to lose instead of gain offensive strength upon approaching the goal line.
 The quaker promises to become the sick man" of football this season. The teams are waiting to divide him up. Brown took slice week ago Saturday, Penn. State seven days later. Who next? It was an excel lently coached team that beat Penn sylvania. Under the tutelage of Big Bill Hollenback the men from State College looked like the finished uni versity product. Individually some of the Quakers did splendid work. Sick and crippled, Capt. Mercer played through two. periods which he should never have done. He played them on his nerve.
 Minds punted and ran with the ball we'll, and Keough handled punts clev- erly and contributed many snappy tackles Tn fact, KeOugh handled punts almost as neatly as Miller. the tiny Penn. State man, who is a Won- derful quarterback. Thayer, Harring- ton and Marshall were flashy and err ratio Morris the centre, had to help out two weak guards. Fondeisen and Wolfert Jourdet started off playing his usual effective game at end, but thestrain becoming too much. he weakened.
 It is asserted that States two touch downs following the first kickoff were the fastest ever made on Franklin Field. The Quakers were taken by surprise and swept away.
