was a menacing live wire all the time
and. as usual, the crowd WIS lavish
in its encouragement.

ed splendid physical condition and an
immunity from injury.
That was an interesting object les
son of quick thinking and eool-hea ded
ness thrat Charley Brickley and Nal
celm Logan gave the crowd when the
former made his touchdown near the
ond OF the second period. 1t was appa-
rent that the two men passed the word
how to get rid of Miller, the only OBJ
stacle to "a touchdown, as they dash
ed toward the goal. Brickley leading
the way at the time by stride or two;
for Briekley slowed down little and
Logan rushed to the front and put the
brilliant Penn State captain out Of the
play,
A most gratifying feature of the
game from a Harvard standpoint was
the clean handling of the bail. lie we
may judge from reading the accounts
II the other games Harvard showed
the minimum Of fumbling. Kicks were
handled cleverly even when Miller
changed his tactics and kicked those
low punts that went bounding along SC
effectively in the slippery mud.

Americans Ask Postponement
One Week of Olympic Games.

to postpone the opening Of the Qlym-
pic games at Berlin, i'll 1916, at least
one week According tu The cables re-
ceiVCd from Berlin. to-day, the open
ing events in the track and field pro-
gram are set for July l. This date
would prove a handicap tn the Ameri-
can team, according Ia Alr. Sullivan,
since 1t would require the United
States representatives to sail before
the closing of the American colleges
and universities from which MANY
Incmtcrs of the t6 teams are are ex-
pected to be recruited In discussing
the conditions Mr.. Sullivan said:
1T was the original intention Of the
German Olympic committee to open
the track meet about the middle of
June, When | was abroad, last sum
ncr, | explained the situation from an
American standpoint. and requested Il
later date The German committee
evidently made a concession 10 us.
but even to open the games, on July
!, will work IL hardship on our team.

on July S, and a similar date at Berlin
would be Tar more aeeeptahle. CIese

graduated in the spring Of that year.
In many cases, il weuld le impossible
for them to leave college, before June
Is or later. To sail on that or Il later
date would put the team into Berlin
with little or no time for iinal train
ING.
Il sincerely hope we eah secure II
poStponement of the opening for a
week ut least. foa il will mean a big
difference in the chances of the Amer
lean team winning. The games OF
1915 will be closer, and harder to win,
than ever and no team of the size
of the American aggregation will have
to travel the distance that ours will
be obliged to undertake That extra
