HARVARD DEFEATS,
 VIRGINIA, "A TO 0

Cambridge, Mass, October 90 Harvard rolled up three touchdowns and a field goal against the University of Virginia today, winning A to 0. Although the vis- itors showed proficiency in the overhead game, their offense vanished at Har- wards 25-yard line. The Crimson played the game almost entirely with substitutes, who found some difficulty early in the ga me in stopping the forward passes and end runs of the visitors.
 Harvard scored in the first five minutes in a march from midfield. Virginia flashed an offense few. minutes later that carried the ball to Harvard's 33-yard line, where forward pass was caught. Then came another Crimson march to Virginia's 10-yard line and Buelfs field goal at the opening of the second period.
 In the final period Brown broke thI ough, and, blocking punt, picked up the ball and ran 20 yards for touchdown A few minutes later Hamilton caught a forward pass and dashed to Virginia s seven-yard line and after two piunges he picked another forward pass standing on the goal line, and made the-third touch down. Line up and summary:

 A TOUCHBACK
 That was all the scoring that was done. although again in the last period Tech S Jumpshfts' brought the ball from their own 2o-yard line straight down the field to Centres seven-yard line.

Georgia presented a dazzling array of double and triple passes which were com pleted and netted gains in practically every instance, the Plainsmen breaking l up the play but once or twice. Even Ed Shirling, whose terrific smash- | ing through center has. never failed to score less than one touchdown in a game this season, was unable to make any 1 material gain With the big fullback suffering from injury to his right knee, sustained in the Vandy game, that in the i last moments>of the game he skirted left end for 55 yards and carried the ball nearly to the Georgia line. which has not been crossed this year, is little short Of remarkable
 NUMEROUS PENALTIES Numerous penalties marked the contest, both teams suffering setbacks of five and fifteen yards several times. Pew and Scott were taken from the game shortly after the second quarter began. Pew at tempted to knock the ball out of Scotts hand after it had been downed anG the Auburn player struck him in the face. In the final quarter, with the ball Auburn's eight-yard line. Georgia was penalized 15 yards because Fitts, substi- tuted for Hartley, talked with players be- fore reporting to the referee.
 Auburn came dangerously near scoring in the second quarter. when the Orange and Blue carried the ball to the two- yard line, after Stubbs made first down and skrted left end for l. yards Shir- ling smashed center for yard with the oval on Georgias three-yard marker. With two yards to go, Auburn attempted a forward pass. which was intercepted by Reynolds. After Cheeves failed to gain off left tackle, Collins punted 2S yards to Stubbs, who fumbled and Day recov- ed for Georgia. The first half ended with the ball on Georgia's 35-yard line.
 Hundreds of Red and Black students, jubilant over the first score against their ancient rivals from among the plains in six years. led by the Superb Georgia Band began triumphant march around the field. Thousands Of enthusiastic supporters joined them as the snake dance progressed.

 FANS TAKEN BACK
 The spectators. many of whom had given Centre the odds, even after tie latters injuries became known. ap- peared to be taken back by the ,ery rush Of their own eleven against the stalwart Kentucky team, which had been welcomed on the field with as great an ovation as that given the home eleven.
 Those who read the accounts of Cen tres wonderful work against Harvard week ago, especially in the first two periods, could not feel as they watc led ,today's game, that the same team vas Sii Rction here, notwithstanding all the local confidence in the tornado"
 The dashing attack that had earned the praises of northern critics crumDled time and again before the stout Tech line. One striking example of this was in the last period, when Captain McMillan made three desperate drives against the lines as though despite all he would carry the ball through for one touchdown. The attempt ended by forced punt. Techs players seemed to watch for the Centre leader and were more than often able to halt him.
 McMillan's forward passes outlid anything of the kind seen here in many years, but Tech seemed to r1now where they were going. Ferst ,lone battled down two of them and his long run for a touchdown was the result ef grabbing another one of them out of the air. Centres most effective use of the aerial attack proved to be in short passes where a number of pre- .ty gains were made.
 Armstrong and Tanner played a wonderful game on secondary defense, the latter's shocky head bobbing into almost every play. The whole Centre team tackled with a vim that seemed destined to smash their opponents but the Tech players withstood it excApt on one of two occasions. McMillan proved deadly tackler when time nd again the Tech jumpshirt" seemed to befuddle the Kentucky line. Most of 1. Centres gains, too were due to Tan aer and Armstrong, although McMi,lan several times evaded the Georgians fer good runs.
