The game was slow to watch, except for the second period, when Brown scored on two brilliantly executed for ward passes, and two smashing line plunges by Klump. who momentarily substituted for left half back, Keefer. Keefer had been on the receiving end of both passes which led directly to the touchdown. Defensivcly Harvard showed to bet- ter advantage, but throughout the game. play was pretty much bunting af- fair, with the two teams about evenly divided in distance thus gained. Il For Harvard, halfback Maher starre} extensively and defensively. Fortyb five thousand fans tolerated the scrap and got their real “kick” of the daN when the victorious Brown hosts up1 rooted the goal posts. A few fisticuffs( ensued, but tonight the hospitals are’ clear.
