eleven IN the we'll packed stadium here

score Of 20 10 forcibly sttests.
The Tigers had nothing in the way
- offensive weapons with which to
combat the tearing, driving assaults
which the Crimson forces kept hurting

,bled before the constant onslaught

ONLY once did momentary hope rise
o.t Of the gloom Of the wearers of the
Orange and Black, when, thanks to
tumble by Logan, Tibbott, in sheer

from the 4O-yard line, which fell five
yards short.
Sorry showing for Tigers.

All iu all. Harvard was very, very

WAS largely ,rue, although combina-

were rolled up on two touchdowns by
Bradlec after steady marches down the

other for about fifty yards, from which
Hardwick kicked two goals.

No red flags can be carried in Massa
