he'd thrown away all chances Of win
ming by holding on Browns l yard
line while Coburn crossed the goal
line for what would have been touch
down. The penalty which followed
seemed to take the punch out OF Har-
ward for in the SECOND half Of the
game they fought defensive game
behind their own 35 yard line.

being scored upon In the latter part OF
the second period, the Brunonians
ripped up the Harvard team; srnoth-
cred nearly every rush, knocked down
forward passes-and otherwise played
horse" with the Crimson. On the
pther hand, Brown could no. get nearer
than Harvard's yard line. Although
they had three shots ut the Harvard
goal post they scored on only one OF
them losing a second when the ball
carooned off the upright back into the
field.
Brown ran off some very well exc
cuted plays OF deceptive nature. the
best being forward pass on a fourth
down. when Harvard was set for punt.
Double and triple passes also fooled
Harvard for a couple OF first downs.
But the Crimson limo stood fast under
its own goal posts.
