The Elevens Meet on Manhattan Field and the Score % to IL New York, Oct. 27.-Harvard defeated Cornell at Manhattan Field this afternoon by a score of % to p There were 5000 persons present, and the weather was perfeet The field, considering the heavy rains of the past three days, was in excellent shape, although in some places it was a trihe slippery and soggy. The bet ting was chiefly based on these points: That Harvard would score more points than Princeton did last Saturday, and that Cornell would not score. But the men from ithaca scored just the same, much to the CONSERVATION of the Harvard contingent and the delight Of their own follow ers. 1t took the Cambridge men eleven minutes 10 score their first touch down In the first half, but only three minutes later Cornell also made one on blocked punt, the ball being carried over the line without any resistance. During the remainder of this half Harvard played fast football and rolled up ~ points But with the beginning of the second half came a change that surprised every one on the field. Harvard’s attac,s became lamentably weak, her defense poor and her line blocking most ineffective Cornell, on the other hand. PLAYED with magnificent judgment and kept the leather almost continuously in Harvard S territory Harvard played a rushing game, while Cornell resorted to kicking whenever the chance was offered In this latter. respect Ohls work greatly eXcelled Brewers Cornelfs line aiding in the good work by holding the crimson as IN a wise.
