on Tuesday night was a brilliant
success. Some especially en-.
joyable numbers were given by
trained musicians, and deserving
extra commentator was Lester
Berry of New Orleans, a grand
son of Mrs. Metz, executing on
the violin with the touch and
finish of an artist, and who re.
ceived repeated enchores. The
necessary touch of mirth was
furnished by the little play The
Sweet Family" in which Mrs.
&c. G.. Simmons as all elderly
mother with six daughters EN-

audience, who went into peals of
laughter at the quaint and pc

If the report from Vienna that the
American minister at Teheran has
protested to Russia against the alleg-
ed arrest Of the representatives Of
Austria-Hungary and Turkey at Ta-
briz is correct, Mr.. Caldwell undoubt-
edly acted in his capacity as the tenn

those countries in Persia. 1t is high
ly improbable that he made any move

1t is not clear that the American

Persia, but it is conceivable that SIT

Mahan intercepted an on-side kick.
Exchanges of punts after short gains
by Haryards backs worked the ball
into Princeton's territory, the Tigers
having the ball on their own 25-yard
line when half time was called.
Princeton coaches substituted Law
for Briggs and F. Trenkman for Click
at the opening of the third period.
Smith relieved Hardwick at Harvard's
right end.
Mahan kicked off to Law, who ran
back 25 yards and then punted to Har-
wards 36-yard line, where Logan muff-
ed Trenkman gained four through
center when Law kicked short on an
attempted field goal.
Logan came back to his 3O-yard
mark. Law and Mahan then engaged
in a punting duel. Harvard was more
successful in running kicks back and
Mahan finally kicked to the Tigers
3-yard line. The officials, for some
reason, declared it a touchback and
Law punted from his 20-yard line Ma
hans fair catch was interfered with
and Princeton drew the first penalty
of the game-15 yards. This gave
Mahan another chance to drop kick,
but he missed by narrow margin
More kicking followed, neither team
being able to gain consistently by
rushing. Harvard got going again as
the period neared its end, Bradlee
finding one hole in center through
which he ran to the 25-yard line.
Wilmington replaced Pennock, and
Francke made first down on the
16-yard mark. Again the fake drop
kick formation worked, and Bradlee
ran to the 3-yard mark. Francke made
another yard as the period ended.
Score: Harvard, 1s; Princeton, o.
Hardwick took Mahans place, and
on the first rush of the last quarter
made the second touchdown. He
kicked goal. Score: Harvard, 20;
Princeton, 0.
A bunch Of substitutes was sent in
for both sides, Law kicked off to
Francke, who came back 20 yards
The tackle hurt him and King took
his place. King celeorated his en-
trance by making eight yards, but
Harvard lost five for offside, the
Crimson's first penalty. Two ex-
changes Of punts resulted in another
touchback over the Princeton line.
Briggs replaced Law and punted.
Whitney took Hardwick's place. King
made a first down in two tries and
Whitney made another on the 2S-yard
mark. Smith tried to turn Ballin's
end. but lost nine yards. Whitney
missed field goal, Ames catching
and coming back to his 25-yard mark.
Briggs made four yards and Tibbott
six. t was Princeton's initial first
down.
Tibbott then threw fine forward
Ipass and Ames made another first
down at the center of the field. King
intercepted the next try on the Grim
son 25-yyard line. Harvard began kick
/ ing again, but Princeton took to for
ward passes. None of them succeed
ed al though the tactics we're persisted
in until the final whistle blew.
