HARVARDDIDNll'T
DROP ONE GAME
Only Eastern Eleven That
Won Every Football Game
on Schedule
MINOR COLLEGES
DID VERY WELL

Harvard won the eastern football
championship during the season just
closed beyond any question OF doubt.
Harvard was the only team in this sec.
tion that won every one of its games.
Harvard played nine games and the
closest rub given was by Princeton,
whom she beat 3 to 0
Only twenty one points were scored
on Harvard during the season, and of
these Williams scrored three, Holy Cross
seven. Cornell six and Yale FIVE.
The Tigers didn't have amy more
points scored on them than Harvard
but they were beaten by Dartmouth, 6
to 0 Harvard, to O. and were tied by
Yale, 3 to g. Moreover, Rutgers scored
three points on them. and Bucl<nell six
The entire tally against them was
twenty one points the same as Har
wards.
Although some of the so.called minor
colleges didn't play schedules anywhere
near as strong as the major teams, still
some Of them made much better records.
For instance Washington and Jefferson
was the only other Of the twenty odd
important eastern college teams that
didn't lose 2 game. Her nearest ap.
proach TO defeat was when Yale played
q scoreless tie with her.
The Tufts team Of AIedford, Mass
was another college that made q re-
merkable showing, losing only one
game-that to the Army by the safety
score Of 2 to o.
Dartmouth only lost one game, that
to Indians at the Polo Grounds by a
score og 35 to 10. Among the big Green
and White teams victims was Princeton
bv a score of g TO o. Penn ran mp
twenty one points on the Hanoveriens,
but the latter made thirty-four points.
The Middies made a great record
Their first game OF the season was
against Pittsburgh. and it resulted in
a scoreless tie. Outside of their de-
feat by the Army. they didn't lost a
game, and we're only scored on by
one other team. Bucknell. which lost
by a score of 20 to Z.
The Army got some close calls, but
the only game they lost during the
season, was to Notre Dame, which
beat them largely through the use Of
the forward pass-35 to 49, II was
this game that taught the Soldiers
the wonderful possibilities Of this
play, and they we're drilled in it un-
III they had it perfected to such an
extent that II was the means Of hui
initiating the strong Navy team.
Some people think that the In
dians made a wonderful showing
They certainly did in the Dartmouth
game, but outside of this contest the,
. didn't accomplish any wonders. Th'
, Pittsburgh team whipped Carlisle b,
