Crimson Threatens Early
Shortly after the first quarter opened,

Harvard's 2l-yard line for a first down.
The Harvard defense at this moment
seemed to be slipping and it was here

march, the Crimson advance moved

Mas -au Lefense Takes Brace
The Tiger stands were astounded at
this sudden show of Crirson skill and
power and Princeton faces began to
wear worried. haunted look until
the Nassau defense suddenly braced
and forced Buell. to try for field goal
which went badly astray, the first OF
msrv sttemrts on both sides that were
battered down by the whistling north
wind.
After Lourie had punted out of
danger, the Harvard march started
brave over again with the mighty
Owen surglng through on play after
