The Crimson eleven. From the beginning
until the end Of the game Harvard was
the master Of the situation. except for
short period ~ the second quarter. when
the Brown team obtained the ball at the
centre OF the field as a result of penalties
inflicted against Harvard for holding. and
in ght PLAYS. two Of which were brilliant
forward passes, carried IL across the
Crimson line for well mcrited touch
down.
That was The end of Browns effort. for
thereafter the forceful Harvard players
literally smothered Browns attack and
brushed the stslwart Providence forwards
aside with much ease when they began
their repeated marches Up the field for
scores.
Brown never was more confident Of the
outcome of a football game than was the
case to-day when the eleven entered the
big stadium confidence acquired as the
result Of q victory over Pennsylvania one
week ago and the one-sided score against

che other hand. entered the contest as

Fine Day for Football Struggle.
1t was an ideal football day. blessed with
clear skys and a firm turf. with no wind
blowing TO affect the punting. When the

there was much apprehension as TO the re-
