Adams's Perfect Kick.
Harvard this fall held Brown in little
fear. Recuperating from defeat by
Princeton and storing their resources
for Yale, Harvard marshaled only
minor strength against Brown. AS the
game progressed, however. Harvard
found that to win they must fight with
their mightiest and their best. The
fourth period opened with the score 0
to and with Harvard's full first var
sity eleven afield.
Late in the third quarter the eame
sons of old Brunonia caught Crimson
punt on their own 40 yard line.
Two five yard gains by Payor, an un-
known freshman substitute halfback
from Brooklyn, a 21 yard advance on
spectacular forward pass from
Adams to Myers, another magnificent
dash through the Crimson frontier for
IA yards by the brilliant Payor. and
two short gains by Payor and Sweet
brought the ball to within eight
yards of the Crimson's last white line.
Beyond this line. however. Brown could
not pass. In this final crisis Robert
Adams, fullback for Brown. fell back to
Harvard's IS yard line and drop kicked
perfect goal for victory.
Out of whirl and turmoil OF stupen-
dous drives and steadfast defense. now
by Princeton and now by Yale. these
two elevens reached the third quarter
of their battle without a score. Robert
w. Beattie OF Princeton temporarily re-
placed Crum at the opening OF tho sec

the early plays in the third quarter
leaped out OF a tandem formation
and raced thirty-1vo yards down the
field around Yale's left end and only
was stopped by being forced out Of
bounds by the mighty Neidlinger. This
play. nevertheless. carried tho ball into
position from which on the fourth play
following Kenneth Smith from the II
yard line kicked the field goal which
won the game and triad football
championship for Princeton.
To Quarterback Reno Clark of I1li-
nois did destiny assign the feat OF de-
prlving Wisconsin OF possible West

tary score of the day.

but failed. A few moments later the

man again into position. and this time
from the 30 yard line he lifted the
posts and over the crossbar for the
single score OF the day.
