Harvard Wins Easily

V' An eastern eleNen Tn the making met a western conference team ai- most intact from last year and i stopped it without great effort. The | Hoosiers appeared at loss to get started, lacking the strategy to get under way, and when Harvard fum- bles gave them the ball, they did not l seem to have the strength to follow up the advantage for score. For the first two periods Indiana was content to kick every time it got the ball. with two minor rush ing exceptions, this notwithstanding that Kyles kicks were falling short In the last two periods the Hoosiers, ice recovering Harvard fumbles. tried to go forward by rushes and by kins advanced the pigskin F yards when the prettiest forward pass of the game and one of the best ever seen on Denny field, was completed. This was a 30-yard one from Rosen- ! field to Burkhart, and planted the oval on the Cadets 2S-yard line. Bnty Goes Over Rosenfeld, Baty and Pagett carried the oval to the 5-yard line, when Baty was called over right tackle and snatched off the needed dis tance for the Crimsons fifth down Rlackwood's toe sent the score to $40
 Blaclwood's toe functioned again with precision ands sent the oval half the length of the field and Tur- her got loose for S0-yard return With what appeared to be clear field before him, Blackwood made pretty tackle.
 The Cadet backs could not gain | and Samuels kicked 35 yards to flaw kins. who was downed in his tracks Rosenfeld Loose Again Rosenfeld got loose for another thriller and paced away SO yards on an off-tackle pray, and depos- ited the oval on the goal line. Black wood repeated his former feats and the score rose to 41-0.
 The third quarter ended with the ball resting on Marion's 30-yard 1 line, score flo.
 | Baty snatched off IS yards through right guard, and Bartlett got an other 15. around left end. but he failed to touch the ground and the 1 ball was brought out to the S-yard line. The ball was carried to the l-yard line. and Baty took it over Blackwood was again equal to the | need, and the Crimson's score was IS.
 Cadets Threaten Marion threatened touchdown when Blackwood's 50-yard kickoff had been returned to Alabama's 6O- yard line, Gouge received a 1O-yard forward pass from Samuels and raced ,, 40 yards down the field, netting 50 yards.
 The oval was carried back 15, yards, and Whitaker intercepted al forward pass and carried the ball another 15 Bartlett got 10 around ieft end, and Baty netted 12 With the ball on the 30-yard line, Rosen- reld got away around right end and recorded the final touchdown of the game. Blackwood finished things up with 55 to 0 score
 Backfieid Improved
 The most notable feature of the game was the remarkable improve ment of Alabamas back field. This quarter has shown excellent progress since the first game of the season. and today's encounter was marked by almost complete absence of fumbling.
 Another feature was the marked in- creased effectiveness of Alabama's forward passing department Ala bama was not able to do much last Saturdy aginst Spring Hill in the way of forward passing. but this after noon she completed rour out of eight with total gain of 72 yards. or an average of nearly 20 yards The visi- tors completed long 1o-yard pass out of seven attempted. Three of Ala Damas counters are attributable di- rectly or indirectly. to forward pa asses
 RosenfeId Stars
 Rosenfeld was the star of the game
 He was responsible for four of Ala bama's eight touchdowns and he may be said to have afforded all the sen sational playing of the game. He made two of the prettiest runs of the fracas. one for 25 yards and the other for 50 yards His total gain was 145 yards and he averaged nearly yards each time he was called. All of Alabama's backfield did good work. Little. Whitaker and Hawkins tore ugly gashes in the opposing lines. The work of Bartlett and Baty is worthy of special note. the latter named because of the. "come back" that he staged after comparative in- activity of some time.
 The Crimson held well and only | three first downs were made over it. Shotts at center played splendid ball. While Pagett and Langhorn at guards were invncible. Clemens played his usual stellar game at end. and Burk- hart had chance to display good stuff at right end.s
 Turner Cadets Rest
 iuriieT WAS the Staf offering of the visitors. He is the best back field man that has appeared against the Crimson's this year. His work told with more effect than that of the Cadet backs, and he rarely failed to gain when called upon. He carried the ball for two of Marion's first downs. Samuels started bad at punt ing. but worked up 10 an average of 30 yards. McMullins. who substituted for him during one quarter averaged a little over 30 yards
 The Marion line was good and with stood with remarkable endurance the attacks of the powerful Crimson backs.
 Next Saturday, Alabama will have chance of gauging herself by the work of Sewanee. The Ngers defeated the Bryson college agsregation, 1Os to o. and Crimsonites are wonderinA If their machine will be able to dupii. cate this feat
