first half and the substitute string made
three more scores in the second. Three
OF the eight tries for goals from touch
dcwns were missed.
The Maine collegians had absolutely
nothing to offer in the way of an at
tack. and for defensive purposes the
game was of less value to the Harvard
outfit than a hot scrimmage against the
scrubs would have been. Bates also APP
peared with weak rush line and play
ers who showed they have had little
drill in tackling. Three of Harvard's
,touchdowns resulted from long runs. two
hy Eddie Casey and the other by Hum
phrey, the second substitute quarter
back.
Fumbles also hurt the Bates chances
for keeping the score down and alto
gether the Crimson had pretty much OF
a field day. For the most part Harvard
played straight football. The team made
several long advances to be wound W
with touchdowns. There were a few
open plays. but each team completed
only one forward pass, Harvard'S. from
Humphrey to Desmond, late in the gam
helping toward a score. Bates worked

Harvard Uses Many.
The game ran so that the Harvard
coaches could use practically every
PLAYER on the varsity list who was In
shape, and the contest gave q line on
how the various combinations worked to-
gether. Billy Murray directed things
until the game was well In hand. maxi
ing a good choice OF his plays Casey
showed his old time brilliancy. and his
cpen field running was spectacular.
Both teams fumbled a lot, but Har-
ard had the keener nose for the ball
-aking many recoverfes One of the
touchdowns was made by Nelson, who
irtercepted a forward pass, and Kane
made his score by grabbing up fum-
bled ball close to the visitors goal line.
In the first half Harvard accepted
an early chance to score. After Weatn-
erhead had fallen on the ball after
hates tumble, Ralph Horween drove
across for the first Crimson score of the
year. Shortly after that Casey. follow
