Cambridge. Mass. Oct. n.-Harvard beat
Williams here to-day by a score OF IS points
10 0. The Crimson tally was three points
smaller than that Of a year ago, but the
showing made by the Cambridge men was
encours ging as Williams presented a front
that was much harder 10 break down than
that which Harvard found 10 contend with
in the Bates and Holy Cross games.
II was a game Of rip-bang football for
Harvard. the team being on the attack
most Of the time. Three touchdowns were
made and each came on a series OF rush
line gains that carried the bali through the
Williams team for almost half the length
OF the playing field.
Harvard improved in every department of
its play. but particularly in the working
out Of a united attack between the backs
and the rush line Reynolds and Wendell
made a powerful combination in the first
half in which two Of the touchdowns were
scored. and in the fourth period the sub
stituted backs did very well. Haughton
held his regular rush line I'm the play al
most through the four periods making sub
stitutions only at centre ana at the ends
until the very close.
Rogers did not get into TIE game At all
He was taken TO the hospital for an opera
ton for appendicitis after lunch, and
Jencks was pressed into service at left
tackle. Jencks did very well. while Leslie
who was in his first game at left guard
was much better than Keays has been.
Harvards tackling was much better. than
IN the earlier games. and the Williams
plays were broken in upon again and again
IL ,.afT~o
but so aggressive were the Crimson rushers
that the PLAYS seldom reached the line
without being broken. Harvard essayed 10
play no oDen game to-day. but. as was an
ticipated the men were sent into the game
to punch their way through 70 the goal
line. and thus to develop some confidence
i'm the offence, on which the coaches have
been working so hard.
REYNOLDS did especially well. while Wen
dell. on third downs. never failed TO gain
the necessary distance. Williams had the
ball In Harvard's territory only te"
times. and then lost all its chances for held
goals.
In the second period Bud Smith tackled
Fish on a fair catch in midheld, and then
Williams had a chance for a free KICK.
Michael tried a goal from placement out
his kick was wide Of the posts. twice
after this Williams tried 10 kick goals
from, the field. but both kicks failed. Pot
ter tried one for Harvard at the very close
of the first half. missing the uprights oy
about a ward. and at the end Of the game
Nfuhollapd's try for goal fell short al
though he had plenty Of time 10 get the
ball away from Williams 33-yard line.
