New-York tribune., 1921-10-30

Centre College, 6; Harvard, 0.
The reverse left Harvard's pigskin
battalions in a daze, and for moment
after wave of Referee "Tiny" Max
wells husky right arm told the $4,000
spectators that the game was over and
the decision beyond recall the crowd,
too, seemed stunned. But it WAS only
for a f1eeting moment. Before the
wearied Colonies from the Blue Grass
country could gather themselves to-
gether the mighty throng swept
through police lines like human ty-
phoon> and literally carried the victo-
rious team off the field.
Oldtimers here tonight declared
that no team that ever visited Cam
bridge to compete against Harvard
has received such wild and spon-
McMillin, outstanding star of the day.
and his yellow stockinged warriors
from the South. Bo was hoisted to
the shoulders of the mob and carried
off the field, while thousands of per-
sons, most of them sporting Harvard
colors, cheered him until his husky
shoulders were fading silhouette in
tne distance.
Snoddy Shone in Glory
Sharing the honors with MeMillin
were Terrible Terry" Snoddy, right
halfback for the visitors; "Red" Rob-
erts and a youngster named Coving-
ton, freshman at Centre, who went
in during the third quarter and imme-
diiately engaged in series of dazzling
plays that messed up Harvard's de-
fense and brought the crowd to its
feet time after time. One of the
main features of Harvard's strategy
was to keep the dangerous Bo McMi-
lin in state of subjection. The
Crimson gladiators soon discovered
that they were up against an equally
formidable person in "Terrible Terry"
Snoddy and RED" Roberts, and when
is Mayheld, KY, added his flashing
speed and nen-skid nerve to the melee
Harvard's cup of trouble began to
overflow.
Although outweighed by very con-
siderable margin, the Centre College
eleven proceeded to play rings around
the Cambridge clan. Bob Fishers men
were long way from their best form,
however, ard there were times when
it seemed that the team could not get
out of its own way. They allowed
many offensive plays to go askew and
were guilty of series of costly
fumbles.
The redoubtable Bo McMillin won
the game for the Coloniels in the
early part of the third quarter with a
marvellous touchdown from the thirty
seven-yard line; Like an intangible
shadow he whisked through the entire
Crimson line, lodging, ducking and
running the while like frightened
deer.
Collaborating brilliantly with McMil-
lin in this flashing maneuver was
"Red" Roberts, left end, whose clever
interference made the scintillating play
possible. When Bo started his run
that was to spell defeat for Bob Fish
er's machine he was thirty
yards from the Crimson goal line. He
skirted the Harvard right end while
Roberts put MacComber out of action.
1t seemed as though McMillin was
certain to be brought down by Chaplin,
but this player also went down be-
fore the crashing interference of
Roberts. the Red"
McMlllin then outsprinted the Har-
vard tuilback and also the quarterback
and with a sort of right arm move
ment neatly removed Gherke, the last
obstacle from his path. He crashed
across the line in the extreme eastern
corner OF the gridiron. The play was
almost an exact duplicate of the one
McMlllin made on the same field one
year ago. Roberts attempt to kick the
goal failed by a narrow margin
:. To-day's defeat was the first that
Harvard has suffered under the regime
OF Bob Fisher and it is the first time
the team has fallen before a minor
aggregation since 1916.
Penalties for Both Teams
Both teams were penalized repeatedly
this afternoon for holding and offside
play. Center was the principal offender,
but a penalty that was handed to Har-
yard in the last five minutes of play.
when the Crimson eleven was fighting
with the desperation of despair to ward
OIL impending defeat, clinched the de-
clsion for the Colones and broke the
spirit of Fishers men.
In the last five minutes, while Har-
ward had the ball on Center's 3S-yard
line, Charley Buell., the Crimson field
general, uncorked long forward pass
to the Harvard right end. Win Church.
~, the speediest man in the Harvard
backtield, took the ba', over his right
shoulder and fed down the field like a
bolt; Sprinting toward the goal line
on the westside of the field, he success
1uiiy eluded all but one of the Center
players, until be finally placed the ball
on the enemy's 2-yard line.
This play was exactly the same as
the one that gave Harvard a tie score
with Penn State last Saturday, tied
princeton year ago and beat the
Tigers two years back at Nassau.
