Harvard-Devens
Both Scoreless

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. l0.-The
football season Of the Harvard informal
varsity team is fast becoming one
scoreless tie after another. For the
third successive week the Crimson was
forced 20 leave the field without a de-
eision.
Its opponent this afternoon was the
Camp Devens eleven, which is trained
by Percy Haughton. in peace times
coach Of the formal Harvard eleven.
Both teams played indifferent foot
ball during the first half, the time be-
ing taken up with ineffective rushing
tactics and frequent punting. What
little glory there was belonged 20 the
Soldiers, who. after fake pass which
yielded fifteen yards and two rushes,
located on Harvard's two-yard line.
The Crimson held here and Swsrthout's
attempted drop kick went wide.
Captain Horwenn's team, however,
came TO life late in the third period,
and but for the last stand gameness
50 noticeable in Haughton coached
teams, would have won the game then
and there. Coolidge, On the Soldiers
twenty-fve-ysrd line, caught a poor
punt made by Swsrthout, who was
forced 20 kick from behind his goal
line. We6cu and Hoffman succeeded in
reaching the visitors ten-yard line, and
Horween plowed through, two yards
from q touchdown os the third period
ended. On the next play. witch wss
the fourth dowh, and opened the final
period Horween Was thrown for loss,
and the Army, regaininR the ball,
prOmptly kicked II out OF danger.

attended these griIds in New YORK 5
historic amphitheatre for more than q
eencratiOn--this IS 10 BE- the twenty-
fifth renewal Of the evcnt--few know
that the six-day game originated IN
Europe more than forty years ago.
Six-day cycle races date from about
1875, when a twclve-houra-dnv affair
was run in Birmingham, England. A
little while later one of eighteen hours
8 Gav was held in London. The first
invasion of America took place IN 1919.
Feter Duryea and Jack Haverly brought
over team from Europe and gave cX-
hibitions and rode six-day races, Of
three and six hours q day, on roller
skating foors in New York, Boston,
Chicago and other cities.
In 1886 Tom Eek constructed the
first track having banked or raised cor
ners in a hall at Springfield, iii. This
was the first time the riders were able
to make turns at full speed.
American Inauguration in Minneapolis
The first real six-day race in Amer
lea was held in the Washington Rink,
Minneapolis, Mimi, long before they
rode these races on the Island Of Man

miles. ". T. (Senator) Morgan was
second. and Louis Armsindo third

Madison Square Garden was in 1891,
seventeen riders starting and riding
twenty hours day. "Plugger Bill''

1,146 miles. lie rode on an old style
ordinary wheel. Charlie Ashinger, on
a high wheel, won IN 1892, while in
1898 Albert Shoch won on a safety
bicycle. There was no race in 1891.
In 1895 q women's race was conteste 4
and was won by frankie Nelson.
Again, in 1876. the mems race was
resumed, and Teddy Hale, from Ire
land, won, while Charlie Miller, Of
Chicago, accounted for the races in
1897 and 1898. In 1899 the authorities
passed a law prohibiting the contest
ants from riding more than twelve
hours a day. Team racing was then
taken IN. The first team contest was
won bF 00hIile Nllttt anu EIhHA
Dutch Waller. They covered 2,733
miles and laps, record that stood
until 1908, when Mcfarland and Moran
won, with a total mileage Of 2,I37
miles and lap. The late Harry Elkes
and Floyd Mcfarland won the follow
ing year, and in 1901 the race WAS
won by Walthour and McEachern.
George Leander and Floyd Krebs won
in 1902. Walthour repeated In 1908,
with Benny Munro as partner.
First Foreign Team Victory In 1907
Eddie Root won his first six-day race
in 1904, his partner being Oliver Dor
Ion. Root repeated the next year, but
this time his mate was Joe FOgler, the
Brooklyn cyclist. Fogler and Root won
again in 1906. For the frst time since
team racing was inaugurated a for
eign team won the race in 1907, when
Walter Rutt, Of Germany, and John
Stol, Of Holland, came home in front.
