CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. 11.-Crim-
ssn shadows around Cambridge way are
tsirsef tonight than the Chinese Wall

i.;eli. For this afternoon before a
sseat crowd of $4,000 souls a green
figsr came tearing out of the Nassau
gngle and by beating Harvard 10 TO
aass all the records that Harvard
Ss nourished and cherished in her
athiyes for nearly three decades.
Tbs green Tiger team, with only
fsar men left who fought against the
Crimson q year ago, proved to be the
list Nassau entry strong enough to
8srpower Harvard eleven upon Har-
saSd soil for twenty-six years.
Back in 1895 Princeton came to
cambridge and left with a Crimson
galp, but off and On for twenty-five

satd two years in succession since the
Haughton system came into effect back

Harvard Game Weak
To-day the towers of Ilium fell, the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon went TO

turned somersault in midair.
For Harvard machine upon it's own
field contributed largely to the final
issul! by bad football, spotty general
shlp and long series of fumbling cpl
sedes that in each instance gave the
Tiger its chance to strike with speed
andpowsr for the winning points. Har-
Yards butterfingered grip upon the
bsiAing oval led to her collapse, but
sShsa these mistakes occurred in each
Instance 1t was Tiger alertness and
elnuing Tiger assault that finally car

Crimson Scores First
II was Princeton tumble by Win
gate that led to Harvard's score in the
ffst quarter-a field goal by George
owen. But the big break Of the day
cane early in the second quarter.
ptlnceton at this stirring moment had
the ball on her own 20-yard line.
gssves let fly long kick, and Stout,
a great tackle, brought his man to
earth in deep Crimson territory. On
!ne next play Halfback Gehrke, of Har-
yard, playing deep, took a pass from
Gsy Clarke at center. For moment
sehrke held the ball, but as he at
tempted to swing around the oval flew
eat of his grip and bounded in open
SeFrltory up and down the 16-yard line.
Charging through were Pink Baker
