HARVARD WINS.
Princeton Baffled by Crimson Tactics

first half of the game Princeton was

Harvard. Except for a moment when

ball attacks which the Harvard backs
repeatedly used at the outset of their

perfect harmony. opened holes or

defense. The early portion of the half
was marred by continual fumbling on
the part of both teams in careless
handling of the pig skin.
Harvard pursued tactics somewhat
similar to those last year, of attempt
ing field goals when within striking
distance of Princeton's line, yet the
team showed it had scoring punch

by both sides, but that of the Har-

the Tigers. During the 80 minutes of
play, Harvard made nine first downs

now has there to rival. the resistance
shown along the Aisne.
A more frequent exchange of mes
sages between General JOffre, the

chief Of the Russian armies. would
seem to indicate how closely the allies
are attempting to make their moves
consistent with the situations in both
theaters.
No noteworthy change in France or
Belgium was reported during the
forenoon. The latest British official
statement mentioned a decreased vigor
in the German attacks on West Flan-
ders, while the French communication
said that the battle was as violent as
ever. The allies are reported as driv-
ing forward in the vicinity of Dixmude,
and were at last accounts taking the
offensive south and east Of Ypres, the
point where, since last week, the Ger
mans have been endeavoring to get
through.
Many dispatches speak of a stream
of German reinforcements and the al
lies in their official statements, have
taken cognizance of the changed COM
plexion Of these fresh troops. It is
pointed out that vast numbers Of raw
men may have proved inferior to a
smaller and better trained force, as the
repulse Of German mixed forces along
the User would indicate and that the
use OF more first line troops in West
Flanders would mean less prodigality
and heavier fighting than seems to
have characterized the former German
rushes.
A hundred and fifty thousand Ger
mans, it is said, will be moved to Bel
gium from Muenster, Prussia, next
week, while troops who fought near
Sedan already are In West Flanders.
England's chagrin over the naval
loss in the Pacific was somewhat as
sauged by the fall Of Using Tau and by

BELGRADE

few business places in Belgrade last
Monday evening and got away with
but light booty. They entered the sal

few drinks and going through his safe
cash register, etc., they got away with
$40 in cash. They also entered the
cold storage building of A. M. Madison
and the harness shop of Theo Olson
as well as the drug store of L. B.
Stocking. The robbers got little or
nothing at these places as the owners
missed nothing valuable, except the
smashing of a few windows to gain
an entrance. Robbers the same even
