boston, oct. l~4.--Harvard's football
team was called upon to do nothing
startling In order TO defeat the represcn-
tatives Of the University OF North Caro-
lima in the Stadium this afternoon. Tie
score vas 81 to o. the Crimson getting
three touchdowns from each OF which
the goal was kicked Despite the ease
OF the victory. 1t was tinEed with Just a
little disa ppointment. for Harvard aimed
at least TO equal the 90 points piled up
by Princeton agains; North Carolina only
last Saturday.
In the Stadium this afternoon Il was
at all times apparent that the contest
was or :hc early season virtage-and
not OF the usual Harvard brand at this
stage either. A ~ yard run by Casey
that made possible fIarvard's second
touchdown in the first period stood out
lik a beacon light in the dark. Hair
wards tackling was of color. the line
played a little too high and the back
field did not behave according to the
strict Haughtor prescription. yet there
was never IA m when North Caro-
lima was not playing second fiddle.
Harvard's general exhibition no doubt
suffered because of the absence OF quite
a number of regulars. some OF whom
had been put hors du combat In the
losing battle with Tufts last Saturday.
Moseley Taylor on the line and Bond
and Flower In the backheld were the
most prominent absentees.

Harvard had more frequent recourse
to the forward pass than at any other
time this season. Evidently Tufts
taught Harvard a lesson. 1t tried the
