The Harvard substitutes who were re-
inforced at the beginning of the game
by end rushers. Percy Jenkins and Dan
Holder, had a good. hard workout The
Florida team had all kinds of spirit and
with the outfit there were four or Ave
men who played mighty well. Dickson
and Newton In the backfleld; Duncan,
the captain, and Robinson and Doty on
the line were powerful and hard to get
out of the way. In fact, there was
time when Coach Fisher was tempted
to send his regulars into the fray for
period, but finally decided to adhere to
his original plan to save the first team
for which he is planning little real
football the first of the week.
Florida had two chances to score and
both good ones. After Harvard had Sc

yond the line OF scrimmage.
Florida Attack Fails.
Hammond kicked out to midfeld. On
the first play Case of Florida circled
Harvard's right end for 22 yards and
was prevented from getting loose alto
gether by Greenough. who made pretty
tackle from the side. This was all there
was to the Florida running attack, how
ever. Newton fumbled and recovered
for loss on the next play. Then came
forward pass, which was intercepted
by Roullard.
Harvard had another scare in the
second period. At the beginning of the
quarter Harvard had the ball exactly at
middle field and pounded its way over
forty yards of Florida ground in eight
plays to make first down on the 10
yard line. Florida stopped the march
there and Hammond made his field goal.
It was then that things began to
break for Florida. Hobson kicked off
to Newton. The big Southern back got
under way with splendid speed. cross
ing over to the Florida side of the field
and galloping along from line to line
until he could see only Quarterbac X
Spaulding ahead. Spauldiug came in
for the heavy back, but never quite
reached him. as Hobson and one of his
teammates crashed into Newton at an
angle and sent him out of bounds. Flor
ida couldn't gain and kicked. The hall
struck q Harvard man. putting all hands
onside. Florida recovered on Harvards
% yard line. A successful forward
brought the oval to the Cambridge 6
yard line and there Harvard took pos
session of IL to end Florida's threaten
ing for the day.
Harvard Near Another Score.
Hammond punted out OF danger and
Pomeroy, receiving the kick. was downed
in his tracks. Goldman batted a Florida
forward pass and the ball went straight
into Kunhardt's arms. This gave the
ball to Harvard on its own 40
yard line and from there the Crimson
began a splendidly sustained rushing
drive which carried the ball up the field
for first down on F'lorida's yard
mark at the end of the first half. The
prettiest gain in the march was made
by Hammond on a fake kick. his bril-
liant run netting twenty-seven yards.
