HORWEEN CROSSES LINE
Special Despdfch 10 TIE SuN.


! CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct 1s.-Harvards
best available football team struck
Brown a body blow in the first few min
utes of play to-day, scoring a touch
down by straight rushing from the kick
Off. The advance was a brilliant one,
and the Crimson looked as il it would
be in for the happiest of matinees. But
nothing like that hoppened, as after its
setback the hard fighting Providence
players while they had only one chance
even to tie the score fought Harvard
for every minute after the touchdown
punch had been delivered and succeed
&c in holding their goal line safe for the
remainder of the game.
All afternoon the Crimson threatened
&c do something, ana many were its
approaches toward Browns goal posts.
Each time, however, the offensive rail-
lies were stopped, and although four
attempts were made by the Ha. ward
dropkickers to add few points to the
score, which a Brown touchdown would
have tied, there was neither luck nor
accuracy, and Brown left the field with
only one regret-that it had not warmed
up to the play earlier. The Cambridge
eleven ran its plays at will through and
around the Brown line on all parts of
the field until within 15 or 20 yards of
the Precedence goal line, but that was
as far as the team could get.
Harvard Lacks Punch.
End runs forward passes and the line
plays all worked SO smoothly up the
field that whenever Harvard started a
journey 1t seemed sure that the ball
would be driven across again. But it
never was. Harvard lacked the punch
after its first effort Had Ralph Hor-
ween. Billy Murray and Sam FELTON,
been more accurate with their goal kick
shots Harvard would have had dozen
more points.
The elder Horween missed tries from
the 50 and 20 yard lines in the first half.
Murray missed from the so yard line,
and Babe" FELTON, from the 10 yard
line. Murray's shot was the closest, but
that was not worth anything.
Brown showed little of the brilliancy
of attack that some of the Providence
teams have shown when they have ap-
peared in the stadium. There was no
Pollard for third wind runs, but In the
third quarter Fox, a substitute quarter

score and things were breaking Brown g
way. but after Albright had landed on
Harvard's rs yard line by completing

In and Out Football.
Harvard played in and out football
There was some real defensive "crh
all through the game. except LOT
few minutes in the third period. Inc
backs worked we'll together, ana IN
spots the line had charge ana a IN
that Brown in no measure could WIN
stand. :,
Lack of sustained power on attack

when the goal line was in sight, spoileo
in a measure, the fine impression BOZ
Fishers football team made early in the
game. Capt. Murray showed lack OF
work in his running in of kicks and also
in handling the ball with the backs II
the running plays. Steele, the new
PLAYER, looked mighty good, and Ton
Woods, who was playing his first game
regularly at right guard, was all over
the field. He outshined even Clark.
Harvard followed the ball as in earlier
games, recovering several tumples

some costly fumbling just when things
were breaking right.
Without Casey to-day Harvard woult
have had a mighty hard time TO win III
biggest midseason football game. From
the moment the game started until j
had placed the ball behind the BroWI
goal line the Harvard team ceinon
strated the sort of driving work TO which
81 had been subjected behind the secre
practice fence for the last week. Re
ceiving the kickoff on the 16 yard lin'
and after Murray's run back OF sever
yards the Crimson opened up with
team attack that swept everything be
fore f. The best team work OF I'M
year was shown. but there was no lie
up in the advance until Browns goa
line had been crossed.
A ten yard break through the othe
side was Immediately contributed b!
Casey, who finally and In his supreme
effort broke clear through the opponents
left tackle, and was barely caught from
behind as he was swinging to dodge tn
