Touchdown in Final Pc
Rod Brings Victory to
the Crimson.
SOFT GRIDIRON
HANDICAPS BOTH
Five of Cambridge Regulars Un-
able to Play-Bradlee Scores
Two TOuchdOWns.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. Harvard
solved the forward passing which had
made Tufts so formidable earlier in the
season. and defeated the Medford team
at the stadium this afternoon by a
score of 70 10 6.
The game was not easily won, how
ever, as Tufts Extensively used a split
line play which Melted many yards
during the game and which finally re
suited in the touchdown that tied the
score in the third period. Tufts re-
turned again and again TO the trial OF
the pass, but all Of Tufts's backs and
ends were covered by Harvard men, and
the ball was either blocked or inter
copied.
The game was the first played BY the
two teams in twenty-seven years. When
they last met Tufts won. Owing 10 the
fact that Tufts has been rated so high
by the success of its open play. the
game was attended by $4,000 persons.
The gridiron was rainsoaked and
soft. Its condition undoubtedly inter-
fered with the footing of the light
Tufts men. Harvard was handicapped
by the loss of its veteran backiield and
two star linemen. Mahan and Logan
cut with injuries. did not play, and
Hardwck and Pennock were out Of the
line for the same cause.
Harvard scored both its touchdowns
by line plays, VITA Bradlee showing up
splendidly as a ground gamer. Tufts
scored from midfeld. where Parks had
Iun back Harvard's kickoff in the be
ginning of the second half. Using its
deceptive spit-line play, Tufts covered
eighty yards in rushing. being Obliged
to make up two l5-yard penalties in
ficted by the officials.
Harvard's second touchdown came d-
rectly as the result OF an intercepted
pass. Coolidge RULED it in and ran to
Tufts's 35-yard line before he was
Gowncd. From that point Harvard bat
tered Tufts's line until Bradlee went
over Soucy kicked an easy goal.

tie with Trinity.

Amherst. Mass. Oct II. In one of
the best games Of football played at
Pratt Field in many years the Amherst
team battled 10 a scoreless tie with
Trinity this afternoon. Both eleyens
showed great strength on the defence.
Neither team was able to do anything
with the forward pass. The open game
was tried twice by each team without
success.
Trinity got the jump on its oppo-
nents in the first half. Twice the
Hartford eleven had a chance to score
after recovering bad fumbles by AM

visitors, made two attempts for goals
from placement, but each time the ball
went wide, and Amherst was out Of
danger.
Amherst outplayed the visitors in
the second half In the third period
the home team had the ball on It's OPP
ponent's 40-yard line. Washburn went
in az quarter and sent Rider around
the end for twelve yards on punt for
nation. Trinity could not hold back
the irresistible line plunging of knowl-
ton, and the ball was carried in three
downs to the ls-yard line. But Trim
ity held on the fourth down.
Howell. one of Trinity's haifbacks,
showed up in great style. his line

The Survivors

They say the bloOmin' polo cup
Has found an alien home.
Where footing bugles split the air
And dum-dum bullets roam;
They whisper Walter JohnsOn's speed
L. not quite what it was.
And Washington no longer hears
The pennant bees sweet buzz.
How Marqusrd lost eleven straight
H. entered on the scroll.
And of to foreign fields afar.
Has tripped the Davis bowl.
But from the deIls OF fair Detroit
L. heard "a clarion call
"Who's topping all the batters
In the johnson league this fall?"
The miniOns of the clan AicGraw
Are phantoms of the past.
They fiirted free with Fortunes plums
But hit the chutes at last;
The CLEAN OF Rltche's hard earned
Bedecks British brow.
And Wagner famous batting eye
L. never heard of now.
The celebrated sons OF Mack
Have felt the victor's heel,
And Baker. Bender. Schang and Plank
Have learned the way TO kneel;
The uncouth wear the purple bright,
They rise from depths unseen;
Who next will WELD the wantOn ash
To smlte n Iaurelled bean?
An upset here. an upset there.
4 world In war and woe.
The selling platers romping home
Vhic valiant favorites blow;
Ye Gods. The Times. the fateful Times.
They're raising merry hob.
The only shining lights in form
Are Kaiser Bill and Cobb.

Willamstown. Mass, Oct. l7.--Com-

with score of l3 TO against her.
Williams won from Springfield by l.
TO Is here this afternoon, in one of the
best played games seen here in years.
During the first period neither team
was able to gain substantial advan-
tage. In the second, however, De
Wndt got fair catch after Eells had
punted to the Springfield 2-yard mark,
and dropped a goal over from the AZ
yard line.
Springfield retaliated when Holmes
received Schabinger's pass for four
teen yards. Miller crcled right end for
fifteen yards, and after four line bucks
Gibson went over for touchdown. II

Philadelphia, oct. IL The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania met the Navy
football team on Franklin Field here
this afternoon and outplayed and de-
feated the visitors by a score Of Il
to g.
1t was a gripping, thrilling battle Of
the gridiron and the better team won,
while 10000 spectators rOared their I'M
qualified approval.
Nike Avery did it. He intercepted
a Onward pass and raced siXty-five
yards and scored a touchdown after
five minutes of play in the final quar-
ter. and broke the tie. Reb Russell
kicked the goal, the last point Of he
battle But it was not all over. The
Navy fought a good fight, but in vain.
Early in the fourth period, after a
series of plays, the Navy worked the
ball own to Penn's 40-yard line. Two
line punges failed. and forward pass,
Blodgett to Overesch, went wrong.
Then. on the fourth down, Blodgett
dropped back in kick formation. He
tried to reach Overesch with pass
over the centre Of the line.
Blodgett's Error Fatal.
Blodgett failed to cover the pass,
and his error of omission was fatal to
his team. Mike Avery caught that ball.
Then the Pennsylvania men IN the
stands rose.
Down the field flashed the strainiinS
runner. He was clear before the An
napolis men realized what had hap,
pened The Suddenness of It all
stunned them. They stood and looked.
Then they burst out in mad pursuit.
That moment of indecision was
costly. There was no hesitancy on the
part of the Quakers. EXtricating
themselves from that tangled mass
they spread out a network OF inter
ference for their man. As fast as d
Navy player came there was red AMI
blue catapult hurled at his legs, ana
down he went.
One Navy man escaped. Fifteen
wards from the goal line Vail was IN
position TO make his lunge. The hopes
Of Penn sank while Nays rose bound
ing. "He won't make that goal! cried
the Annapolis partisans. But tucker
caught up. and just as Vail was about
to make his tackle drove. He hit van:
hit him hard and took him out. Avery
then went on unmolested. 49,,

The Navy started with a rush tha'

and Mitchell went over for the first
touchdown. He failed at the trial at

Touchdown Rouses Quakers.
That touchdown was all that was
necessary 10 rouse the Red and Blue

vigor the Quakers plunged into the
fray. II was not long before the ball
was worked down within striking dis
lance and Vreeland booted IL over from
placement. Late in the second period,
with the ball on the f-yard line.
Matthews was sent into the game, and
sent the ball spinning over the bar
from a pretty drop kick;
A better game from the viewpoint OF
the spectators seldom has been seen.
The ball moved about the field quickly,
and the feelings Of the crowd were
rlayed upon as man after man broke

the greatest excitement was aroused In
