the tribute where he said It was due.
II extend my heartlest congratu-
lations 10 the Centre college team"
he said 10 the Associated Press after
the game. "They played a clean
game. a good game and showed that
they were a very well drilled team
In 30 Mcdnlin. Centre had a man
who was probably the hardest in the
country to stop. The Harvard men
in today's game gave the best they
had"
The game marked the second Of
the seasons defeats OF famous east
ern university elevens. Chicago hav-
ing won from Princeton last week.
After years Of virtually unbroked
victories by eastern elevens these
defeats were accepted by followers
OF football with a national perspec-
tive as an indication that the gospel
and the practice Of the gridiron
game were having a greater spread
than ever before in sections removed
from the scene of its origin anc
greatest development.
How He IBID It.
Centre had kicked off at the be-
ginning OF the third period and Har-
ward had rushed once, then punted
back, when the way was opened for
McMillin's winning touchdown. The
ball was run back by Bartlett from
one as yard line TO the other. Pen
atty for tripping by a Harvard man
sent Centre forward to Harvard's 81
yard line. The ball was snapped TO
McAInlin and he made as If TO pass
it 10 SnOddy, but ran himself in
stead.
Interference cleared the way for
him until they were put out of the
play, then "Bo" went ahead alone.
Changing pace ard direction. but
travelling fast he slipped through all
but three of the Harvard defenders.
These he evaded one after another
skirting the eastern edge Of the field.

ahead for touchdown. Bartlett
failed on the try for goal.
Harvard was reinforced n the last

made his first appearance in the
game at this point. Harvard set
out once more from Centres 4 3 yard
line. but after advancing TO the 80
yard line by rushes and to the three
yard mark on forward pass, Buel
to Churchill, lost its forward pro-
gress when the ball was called back
for offside play i'm the Harvard line.
Bartlett intercepted another Har-
ward forward pass and Centre was
again in Harvrd territory, on the As
yrd lire, when the final whistle was
sounded.
Second only to "Bo" McMillin as
an individual figure was Red" Rob
erts This husky Centre player was
everywhere. He started out as an
end. became a tackle to fill a spot
temporarily weak, and was called on
to stifren the backheld as rusher and
interferer. In every position he was
master and his play was a big fac
tor i'm Centre'es triumph.
