Passes and Field Goals Used to
Advantage by Crimson

Cambridge, Mass, October 2S.-The
Harvard football team shattered the
championship aspirations of the Cor
nell eleven here this afternoon when
1t routed the big Red combination from
Ithaca Is to o.
The Crimson eleven outplayed and out
generated the team from the shores of
Lake Cayuga and the Ithacans completed
their own downfall by an exhibition Of
cratic football that stunned their adher-
ents, who had laid many wages at odds
of five to four that Cornell would dupli-
cate the victory Of year ago. Close
to q, 600 spectators filled all but the ex-
IRENE ends of the stadium and in almost
summer temperature, with not many
overcoats.
Harvard showed they had a campaign
that promised to give them hard fight.
With the luck of the toss falling to
the Crimson, Captain Dadmun elected to
defend the south goal line, while Cornell
kicked off. Once the ball was in Har-
wards possession the Crimson sprang a
surprise. The backfeld, lining up with
Cornell formations, proceeded to reel off
plays such as Cornell undoubtedly expect
This appeared to upset the Red and
White, for they found it hard to dag
nose or check the Harvard advance. The
entire play during the period was in Cor
nell territory, and although the net re-
suit of the attack was three Harvard
points scored through field goal by
Robinson, aside from vocational flashes OF
potential strength, Cornell never appeared
in the light of a possible victor.
Tbera WAS 1itt1a ADVANTAGE on either
side between the punting of Horween
and that of Shiverick, but Harvard was
far superior in rushing the ball. For
ward passes and a field goal We're re-
sponsible for portion of the Crimsons
score. Cornell was not successful in any
attempts at aerial play. due to the keener
Harvard defense, and poor judgment in
Cornells heaving of the ball. Captain
Dadmun and Right End Harte of the
Harvard team will be out of the play
for week at least as result of in
juries. but other casualties were confined
to the usual bruises
