  ON OVAL OR GR|D|RON FIELD Harvard’s Crimson Is Dragged in the Dust PRINCETON IS TRIUMPHANT No Players Killed but Several Were Injured Stanford Falls Down Before BerkcIey’s Prov ess Other Games-Reports Of the Horse Races-AthIetic Notes Associated Press Special Wire PRINCETON, n. j., Nov. 1.-The crimson of Harvard was trailed in the thick Jersey dust this afternoon by the Tigers, and the orange and black of Mas aau toated trium phantly in the evening breeze. For two long hours the two elevens swayed across the gridiron. fight ing every inch Of the ground stubbernly and bitterly. The scors was l2 to 4. Princeton scored three touchdowns and Harvard’s four points were made by clever blocking. Neither team showed well in the developed tea.. play, and fumbled and blocked kicks marked the play. A DRILLING rain made the field heavy and soggy. The players could not get solid footing and Princetons heavy team. aver. aging ten pounds more than Harvard, told on the Cam bridge boys. When the teams appeared on the field fully 1000 eager spectators were gathered around the gridiron. 1t was distinctly a kicking game, both backs exchan 81 6 punts repeatedly and three of the four touchdowns scored resulted directly from kicks. q. Brewer easily eXcelled Baird Princeton won the game through the failure of the Harvard followers to hold where Brewer dropped back for kick In the frs half. Both teams were very strong in the defsnsive. In the last half Harvard had the ball we’ll in Princetons’ territory most OF the time, but their offensive play was not ssrong enough to carry the ball over. 1t was at this stage of the game that the sensational play OF the contest &C. Cured. Harvard had the ball on Prince tons six-yard Inns when Jack Fairohild was sent to the center. He made gain or yard and then fumbled. Little SUIT ter, Princeton’s plucky quarterback picked up the ball and raced away down the field for the upper goal. O. Brewer was close behind aim. Rhodes made a vain effort to block off the little Harvard runner, but the Boston boy got away clear and then raced after Suffer. For fifty yards not an inch could he gain then he slowly overhauled the Princeton man, finally catching him by splendid drive at the fourteen-yard line. 1t was hair-faising play and the crowd was fair ly thrilled by Suffers brilliant run of sew enty five yards and Brewers wonderful tackle. In the last part of the half Harward began 90 hit up the Princeton line vita telling effect. Then tandem interference went laundering into tackle and center for good gains but the interference was not steady enough to punch the ball across the Tigers goal line. In the second half there was marked difference in Harvard’s play. The men went at it as if they knew they were beaten. Their snap was gone, their line work ragged: Rhodes and Riggs broke through the line and blocked half the kicks. Cochrane and Hearn tackled into the interference repeatedly. The defense work of both teams was away ahead of their aggressive play, and neither side had any good interference. A number OF players on both sides were forced to retire. but their injuries were not serious. The contest was free from any slugs ing, though little trouble cropped out. In put out or the bounds, Wrghtineton ran to the fence to tall on the fall. Baird, the Princeton fullbac k, gave him bad push into the fence; fore ing him under the press seats and jam. ming his face into the mud. The line up and summaries were as follows: Princeton-He left end; Church, left tackle; Riggs lWentz), left guard; Galley. center; Ri odes, right guard Lea (Tyler), right tackle; Cochran. right end; Suffer, quarterback; Armstrong Ban nard), right half Rosengarten. leftback; Baird, fullback.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The fresh man football teams of the University of California aud of the Leland Stamford, Jr., university pIa ed this afternoon. 1t was walkovtr for Berkeley. The fresh men from across the bay had no more trouble in defeating the Palo Alto infants than Sam Rainey would have in placing a man in the fire department. The score cricket match than game of football: 1t was with Berkeley simply case of going around the unprotected ends OF Stanford on short runs or else diving through the holes made IN the mushy center OF Palo Alto. That was all Berk. trouble was over the score stood DO to in Berkeley favor. WEST POINT, N.

  PRINCETON BEAT HARVARD With Hands Down and Points to Spare. NO RUNNING ATTEMPTED But It Was Decidedly Kicking Game Throughout. MIR. BAlRD’S WORK WAS MAGNIFICENT Captain Lea Had His Collar Bone Broken. Cochran Piloted the Tigers Through Without an Error-Score 12 to 4. MIR. BAlRD’s WORK WAS MAGNIFICENT Princeton, N. J., Nov. 2.-The day for the contest between Harvard and Prince ton opened with a gray, lowering sky, which threatened to deluge the field with torrents of rain. In spite of the un- favorable condition of the weather, the seats surrounding the gridiron contained nearly 5000 spectators when the Prince tons came on the field at 2:O3 p. m. The interval before play began was occupied by the cheering of the supporters of the two teams who came out to cheer. Ban ners and flags of orange and black or of crimson were waving on all sides. Alumni as we’ll as the undergraduates were on hand, and proved that they had not forgotten their college cheers. Large numbers of pretty girls, carrying stream CTS of the colors of their favorite college, braved the indictment weather to see the great struggle. The weather finally turn ed out better than had been feared, and although 1t drizzled continuously throughout the game 1t did not mate rialy effect the game or spectators, ex- cept that a great deal of slipping on the part of the players can be laid to the soggy condition of the ground. Almost from the moment the ball was put in play it was evident that neither team was going to have walk-over. All through the first half Harvard seemed to have the better of It. Her line was much weaker than Princeton’s, but she made up this defict in the work of her backs. Charley Brewer and Wrighting- ton were doing good work for Harvard but their efforts were of little avail against Princeton’s line. Baird’s inn provement during the second half was simply wonderful, making a number of puts of from fifty to sixty yards. His working fame will put him among the best full backs in the country. It was decidedly a kicking game, the oval flying from one end of the field to the other. Fairchild punted but little for Harvard, leaving all that work for c. Brewer Both teams made their best gains by mass play directed against tackle or guard. In line bucking Armstrong proved himself the equal of anyone on the field. Very little running was attempted on either side, and when tried 1t was nipped in the bud. Princeton’s line outplayed Harvard at al- most every point, with the exception of Hearn at the left end. Cochran played a brilliant game at the other end, being on hand whenever he was needed. It is diff ficult to pick particular flaws in Har- wards work, but their line lacked alert ness, which cannot be dispensed with in a winning team. Captain Lea broke his collar bone at about the middle of the second half, and from this point on Cochran explained the Tigers, and showed himself very capa- ble in this position. He helped his men we’ll and not once did he order a play which would have been better omitted. Neither side scored in the first half, but eight minutes after the second half began Princeton carried the ball across Harvard’s goal line for a touch down. Five minutes later Harvard returned the compliment Both failed to kick the goal, the score being 4 to 4. Eight minutes more gave Princeton another touch down. No goal was kicked and in the remaining four minutes Princeton added another touchdown, but no goal. Final score: Princeton, 12; Harvard, f.
