by Roscoe Fits slippery runs and
Captain Buell. was successful in adding
one point in the two succeeding drop
kicks Karl Pfaffm4n, 7S-yard run
and drop kick in the third quarter
completed the scoring
Pfaifmans thrilling dash, ending
60-yard Middlebury advance, came on
an intercepted pass and was the turn
ing point in the game
The Vermont outfit gained ground
almost at will after the first few min
utes OF play, and arriving in the
shadow OF the Crimson goal post was
prevented from scoring only by Har-
ward alertness. The game was one of
the best ever exhibited by a small
college in the Stadium
Mddlebury made nine first downs
to Harvard's eight Several times dur
ing the game, the brilliant Blue Of
fense would go down the field, tearing
great gaps in the Harvard line, only
to have their triumphal march halted
by an intercepted pass. In the third
quarter, Middlebury completely out
played her opponent, pushing the ball,
by means of a smashing attack, from
her own eight yard line to within 81
yards OF the Harvard goal Pfafiman,
lanlS Crimson back, intercepted for
ward pass on Harvard's - yard line
and tore away IS yards for a touch
down the final tally of the game
Middlebury went strong in the last
quarter Starting from the Crimson''
As yard line she carried the ball to
within 2l yards of the goal, DrOSt
working well. Middlebury was set
back for three yards after a tumble on
the first down This loss was made up
and 5 yards more gained on a fourth
down A forward pass failed and the
ball went to Harvard on her own l6
yard line This practically ended the
game The game closed with a pen
atty on Harvard for holding.

BIRDS ARE SCARCE
Local Hunters Have Poor Luck on
Seasons Start

Despite the fact that many young
partridges were hatched out this spring.
birds are scarce in most of the covers
according to the reports of some of
Middlebury's best hunters.
The season opened Sunday and will
continue through the month of fOctober.
Local bird shooters have secured the
country and so far their efforts have
not met with what YOU could call sue
cess. 1t is the opinion of some sports
men that the birds have been hunted
with considerable success by foxes,
which are reported as plentiful this
season 1t is said that partridge
feathers have been found on the ground
indicating that the birds have been
caught by foxes, scattering feathers in
their efforts to get better hold on
their prey.
