  Harvard EASILY RUNS UP IS POINTS ON COLBY CAMBRIDGE. Mass. October H. Harvard found Colby Unexpectedly weak today and second and third string players had little difficulty in running UP score of 35 to 0 against the visitors. Colby’s only chance at a score came in the second period when, after a 2Syard dash by jacobs through nearly the entire Harvard team, Bucknam made a shot for the goal, standing on the Crimson 43-yard line. The kick had plenty to carry. but went wide by 10 yards. The first Harvard score came principally on a tumble by Colby in the first rush Of the game. and the second through a 25-yard dash by Casey from a punt. followed by another dash by that player around right end. The third touchdown followed nine plunges from the 30-yard line. The fourth march for the goal line started on Harvard’s 45-yard line and eight rushes, including three for ward passes, carried the ball over. The fifth and final touchdown came through a 23-yard dash by FELTON, from a punt caught on the Harvard 45-yard line and seven scrimmages, on the 5-yard line, when Steele caught a forward pass standing behind the Colby goal posts.
