Cambridge, Mass, Nov. l6.-Although
Harvard defeated Dartmouth in the
Stadium this afternoon by a score OF only
stoO. the figures cannot be taken as an
indication Of the comparative strength Of
the opposing teams The game was won
by field goal kicked by erickley, while
standing on the l5-yard line. He had
other similar opportunities, but they
went wide Of the uprights. When the
whistle blew for the end of the game
Harvard had the ball within q foot Of
Daftmouth's goal line, and had shown
stamina enough to warrant its support
ers in believing that # could have crossed
the line In another play had time per-
mitted
The contest was witnessed by more
tsan forty thousand persons. and IL took
on much Of the atmosphere of a Harvard
Yale game. The undergraduates Of each
college had band In the cheering sec
toH and between the halves. with neither
side having scored, the partisans sang
dehsntly at one another.
The game gave Harvard a splendid
chance to try out its offensive strength
on one Of the biggest teams II has met
this season II also demonstrated that
the Crimson line in defence is about the
best II has had IN recent years. Harvard
did not open its attack until the second
half eleciing in the first half TO use
FELTON, 10 punt on many first downs and
invariably on a second down. When II
got started in the second half II made
some big holes in Dartmouth's line, with
wendell, Brickley and Hardwick as the
entering wedges. Wendell, who played
practically the full game. and who has
been out Of the lineup for the last few
weeks, was the best ground gamer
AS defensive team Harvard was good
enough 70 prevent Dartmouth from
making more than one hrst down from
sGimmaSe In the first half and only
tEo IN the second half. FELTON, covered
long distances with his punts. They ave-
'asee forty-fve yards, some travelling
more than fifty, and all carrying at such
neisnt as to enable the Harvard tacklers
set under them in fine shape.
Siiekley again showed up as the Har-
fGo scoring asset. Although he failed in
several tries for goals from the field.
none OF them was very wide Of the mark.
