CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 1.-Harvards
1rst varsity team scored 20 points
, against the Springfield College team in
y the Stadium this afternoon, all in the
.very .,,h ahalf.
coplR the second half. with an entirely
nd Nv team, Fishers substitutes were not
ortniy unable to do any scoring them
o selves but were running all over the
field after Springfield - forward passes
and always fearful lest something hap
pen to spoil the Crimson's fine goal line
record for the season.
The Springfield team had no defence
that could Withstand the battering OF
the attack uncovered by the Harvard
regulars, whose speed in the first half
was as great as anything shown this
year. Eddie Casey wa& back in the
going and his open field running was
always brilliant. He paved the way for
the first two scores and made the third
himself after Harvard had reached
Springfield's twenty yard line on a long
forward pass that Humphrey COM
pleted.
In the second half Harvard didn't
seem able to get going. The team, even
before the substitutes began to be sent
IN IN big numbars, lost two chances to
carry the ball over for more touch
dowks, and FELTON, missed shots for field
goals from the nineteen and the thirty
five yard lines. SpringHeld's open game
was bewildering at all stages until the
finish, when the ball was very wet and
heavy.
Fine BackhcId Work.
All the visiting backs but particu-
larly Drew. Schaeffer and Civiletto. were
able to make beautiful throws which
Harvard for a long time could not In
tercept. The visitors used the forward
pass thirty-one times and had eleven
completions. These passes carried the
bali into Harvard's territory half
dozen times. The UP State team handled
the passes splendidly. but toward the
finish Harvard was covering better, al
though the good defences luckily came
+. when Springfield was running for the
goal line.
The field was in wretched condition.

both on attack and defence. and against
the FIRST string Springfield could gain
practically no ground.
Harvard showed some fine offensive
work in making Its three touchdowns In
the first half each score being nego-
tfated because Of the Crimsons ability

shortly after the kickoff. when Drew

the visitors goal line only thirty-five
yards away.
Harvard's attack was powerful here.
Casey ripping Off an eight yard gain for
q starter and Burnham and Humphrey
carrying the ball to a first down on
Springfield's 10 yard line. Here there
was offside and Burnham scored in two
plays.
Casey Runs Twenty Yards.
The next advance was one of fifty
yards. Casey again started this sortie
by ripping off twenty yards around his
own left wing and behind some fine in
reference. He then smashed through
the other tackle TO the 10 yard line,
whence Harvard rushed straight to the
goal line.
At the start of the second quarter
Springfield had the ball on Harvard's 40
yard line, where Civiletto completed

behind the line The overhead game con-
tinued. Harvards 2S yard line was
reached. The Crimson was strong
against line attacks and Civletto was
forced to try for a field goal, missing
from the as yard. line. After Hsrvards
subsequent punt more overhead stun was
uncovered. Watson getting twenty-five
yards and landing on Hsrvards 21 yard
line, where Murray interfered. This was
all, however. and desperate pass into
the end zone in hopes of a score was
blocked by Humphrey.

quickly Immediately after this when
Hubbard was again alert. getting the
ball at midfield when Kane blocked a
Springfield kick Humphrey then COM
pleted thirty yard pass from Casey
and the latter on the first play broke
loose for an end run and a touchdown.

only occasions Harvard got within strik-
ing distance. the Springfield team threw
the ball all over the lot. There also
were doubles passes and laterala Tho
