football team playing against Dart
mouth for the first time in ten years.
won desperately fought battle by 12
to score before an uproariously ex-
! cited crowd of $1,000 in the Stadium
this afternoon. The Dartmouth team
liant defense against the Cambridge at
tack as demonstrated by the finest team
which Coach Fisher could place at the
command of Capt. Buell..
The regulars, many of whom had not
played for a week. were not nearly so
powerful as they were week ago. Still
Harvard always held the upper hand.
The Cambridge scores were produced by
two field goals and touchdown. while
Dartmouth made it's three points on
goal from placement.
! Capt. Buell. missed two easy drop kick
shots before he scored Harvard's first
three points in the second period. Also.
before the first change of sides. Neid-
| linger missed a placement shot from
Harvard's 80 yard line. Buells goal
was made from the Is yard line and set
| the count at to at the end of the first
half.
| The second half found both teams
| fighting for everything in sight. The
tackling was wonderfully clean, ana
neither teams attack could make much
ground in the others territory. Harvard
had two chances for placement goals In
the third period. near the end of which
! George Owen scored from Dartmouths
! 81 yard line. This pretty shot was fol-
lowed by a 40 yard placement goal by
Neidlnger, one Of the Dartmouth guards.
! 1t was soon after this that Harvard got
! in the blow that settled the game and
broke down Hanover's last hope. The
Green had the ball on Harvard's 4S yard
line in the final period.

and knocked it a few feet into the Air
and directly over his own head. The
ball came down squarely into Jenkins's
hands. while Harris had been sent
sprawling on the ground. Jenkins had
| an open field and all he had to do was
to trot down the field, covering nearly
! forty-five yards for the touchdown.
| Dartmouth showed little on attack ex-
cept on its own side of the field, making

A Kicking Duel.
For the greater part Of the match
the play developed into kicking duel
between Gehrke of Harvard and Harris
of Dartmouth, with the Cambridge

but outkicking his ends so far that Mills
made many very brilliant run backs.
The Cambridge machine play never dill

a real rushing punch. being held for

after a fine forward pass gain by Owen,
and later being stopped dead when It

TO score a touchdown after Jenkins had
recovered o. Dartmouth tumble within
twenty yards of the Hanover goal posts.
II was a splendid game to watch. No
match in the stadium this year has
shown better rush line tackling than
| that demonstrated by Cannelrs New
Hampshire players. who upset the Cam
bridge running attack time and time
again and seldom were at a loss to
stop the Crimson's strategies of double
passes. delays and fakes.
Harvard's line lacked lifting power
and was outplayed much of the time by
its opponents. On the other hand, Har-
ward was equally aggressive and power
full on defense. and 1t really was the
defensive work of the teams which stood
out far above the attack. Dartmouth
did not show much in the way of for
ward passing, but Harvard made sew
| eral completed passes. although not able
to get any one except Owen really loose.
| Then the Crimson did not have the
power when the greatest back on either
team had carried the ball TO within less
4 than fifteen yards of the Hanover goal
| line.
Dartmouth to-day was twice penalized
fifteen yards for interfering with fair
catches by the Harvard backs. Each
break OF the rules occurred on Dart
mouths own side OF the field. but after
being placed close to the objective Har-
ward could not deliver n touchdows by
means of it's rushing game, and Buell.
missed two very easy chances for drop
kick goals though splendidly protected.
Harvard Takes Kick.
Harvard won the toss and chose to
take the kickoff Nfrom the west goal.
The ball went over the goal line. but
Dartmouth returned the kick immedi
ately. Then came a couple OF ineffec-
tive Harvard rushes and another kick.
Dartmouth tried rushing, but could not
gain, and II was Harvards ball on
Dartmouth's 45 yard line. owen made
six yards but Chaplin and Gehrke could
not gain. and Buell. from the 30 yard
line missed the goal by twenty feet.
Dartmouth tried the Harvard line for
three rushcs and then kicked to midfield.
losing ten yards by interfering with
fair catch. But Harvard could only
gain six yards in three rushes. and n
poor kick gave the ball to Dartmouth
on It's 20 yard line. In the rushes
Dartmouth lost five yards. so a kick
followed TO Harvards 40 yard line.
