goal from the field. beat Boston College.
II to o, to-day. More than $4,000 wilt
messed the game. 1t was a real contest
from start to finish.
The Boston team. coached by Frank
Cavanaugh. former Dartmouth coach.
crossed the middle of the field only once.
and then, in the third quarter, drove to
Harvard's twenty-seven yard line with a
forward pass and when Harvard was
only 10 points ahead. A first down was
ripped off after that, but finally Desmond
intercepted a forward pass and ended
the visitors only chance for a score.
Harvard was on the attack during the
greater part of the game. making many
breaks for itself by fine following Of the
ball, with Fitzpatrick doing some great
kicking. At the beginning of the con-
test 1t looked like no scoring for a time.
Finally Corrigan, the Boston College
quarterback. dropped a punt on his own
twenty-five yard line. Brown falling on
the ball for Harvard. Then the Crimson
started a series of line plays that gained
steadily to within eight yards of Boston's
goal There were no holes for the backs
and on fourth down Ralph Horween

from the eighteen yard line.
Harvard Scores Touchdown.
Immediately following this score Har-

noon. Eddie Casey caught the kickoff
on his goal line, ran through the Boston
rushes and carried the ball a few yards

then started his rushing machine going
and in ten plays carried the ball up the
remainder of the gridiron and across the
goal for a touchdown.
Horween and Casey both did some fine
work during this rush, and Clark and
Philbin in the line simply tore things up.
In the second period Harvard had a
chance for another score when Horween
intercepted a forward pass on Boston's
27 yard line and ran seven yards. The
Crimson then ripped off one first down,
but could not get another.
There was no scoring in the third
quarter. In which Urban made his 27
yard advance after receiving a forward
pass from Corrigan. Boston was unable
to force its way for a score.
Another Score in Fourth.
In the last quarter. when Harvard had
a lot of substitutes in the game, another
touchdown was made. This was a gift
however. as FELTON,. who signalled for a
fair catch on the Boston's 35 yard line
on a kick from behind the goal, took
several steps before he was tackled. In
reference, however, was allowed. and
from the 20 yard line Harvard had the
punch to score.
Harvard held to line plugging game
! using the forward pass only once and
! falling then. Boston tried the overhead
game thirteen times, completing three
: passes. In plays from scrimmage Har.
ward gained a total of 1874 yards, about
three times as much ground as it's oppo.

third quarter. never held the ball except
on its own side of the field.
